This is one of this ranting posts that go all over the place, so I'm not really sure where I should go with it. Kids are getting weak, i know. Pete Hegseth says this. Xi Jinping says this. So I guess you're in good company. "The military uses Indigenous"....you mean they speak English? Perhaps you're confusing this with the 1994 rewriting of the ROC Constitution that originally used the characters 山胞. You mention the official registering of same-sex marriage that began in 2019. But major Taiwan companies have been offering benefits to any couple that was legally married anywhere in the world perhaps starting in the mid-2000s. Like many things here, it took the government decades to catch up to standard corporate practices. Being a Canadian, I can understand why an American in Taiwan would find concern about low cost healthcare to be controversial. But you have an option that I don't have of moving back to the USA and buying private health insurance.
I'm going to guess the real core of this post is those kids who have issue with Taiwan-Israel relations. Now I'm hardly sympathetic to those 10 or 20 kids you're talking about protesting this Palestine thing. But most Taiwanese kids don't even know where Israel is on a map. It's just not an issue here. Connecting it to anything that goes on with Taiwanese people is strange. You understand that I'm personally involved in a different version of Taiwan youth than the people you talk about here. If you want to come down to my club and see who hangs out at a place like that, you're more than welcome. They may have plushie dolls hanging on their bags, but no one speaks English and no one cares about Palestine. But I have to warn you that showing up there carries its own health risks that will make you grateful for the easy access to medical you get here.
It went through so many drafts. An attempt to focus on Saad's thesis. It was to include Taiwan's embrace of post-modern Western thought in a non-Western world. How anti-arms deals, whether from Israel or US help stop China from hitting the beach, and ironically destroying the very "dream world" that so many young people have adopted from the West (relativism, LGBTQ, "give peace a chance", etc). It seems like a twilight zone approach to Taiwan's to defense. If I did not make the article clear on these various issues and did not make a convincing diagnosis does not necessarily surprise me...lol.
Hunter S Thompson has a story about surviving a trip in a car with Richard Nixon by talking about college football. If you ever get caught up like that with Xi Jinping, you can talk about how those darn kids these days, they're just too liberal and Western. I have only your review to go by, but I am a naturally-born Canadian. Saad is one of those people who immigrated to Canada because its ultra-liberal laws allowed him to, but wants the people he doesn't like to be kept out. For me, the liberal germ in Taiwan society starts with free school lunches. Kids should be made to scavenge for food. If they can't afford it, put workshops in the back of the school for kids who can't afford it to make some money. Wasn't that the way we used to do things back in Charles Dickens' time? Or is that too long ago, and things just need to be kept the way you remember them? I guess in that sense, you and Saad and Xi all have that same idea in common...except the school lunch thing. Xi gives free lunches to all his kids cause he's a socialist. Free lunches leads to healthcare...when will it ever end?
