The pot is boiling, the countdown is starting.... We will see how long more until they hit Taiwan.
Not sure I blame them, given that Taiwan has been occupied by fascists for decades.
Partner's parents are from Taiwan, and the stories they tell of growing up during the White Terror and martial law period are some straight up
shit. I never really really asked them more though, because theyre both highly cruel and fucked up individuals who's kids were happy to get away from them.
Are you me? My partner is from South Korea, and her parents grew up under a fascist dictatorship and were literal slaves (one is a small business owner now, the other is basically his live-in domestic servant). They’ve actually been really nice to me but they abused their kids pretty severely. My spouse likes them (from a distance—she has a harder time with them in person), refuses to go to therapy, and is basically a Berner who hates China. Other than that she’s pretty cool though.
