Lol… you’re in a communist sub, what do you think would be the obvious answer here ?

Organize, start a vanguard party, lead the common folk to revolt and seize power, and ultimately, enact the dictatorship of the proletariat 😉

But undoubtedly this is NOT the vibe of how Mr. Li would have wanted it said to him 🤣

Yeah, people when talking politely to their taxi driver, or any skilled trades worker really, would call them “师傅” as well. The term generally has a strong connotation of the traditional culture and all the types of works and environments that passed on knowledge via apprenticeships.

Well, the DPP has been advocating for more than a decade that Taiwan has nothing to do with China, or Chinese culture, not historically, not now. Even when the KMT were in power for decades, due to its own history of “fighting” against the CPC, they implemted full-on propaganda about how crappy Mainland China was, how horrific was the communist system there, how oppressive, how Mainlanders hate them and always only want to oppress the Taiwanese, etc. Etc.

Honestly the Taiwanese people are pretty innocent folks mostly, not very interested in political nuances, but after all these decades of propaganda from every single party, separatism is basically politically correctness there now. The constitution, along with the “ROC” name, alas, might as well just be a piece of paper

They wish it’s this easy to keep people. If businesses knew how to monopolize the market forever, they wouldn’t have been so desperate to set up these walls.

I dropped cable for Netflix years ago with a shrug, and as Netflix and all the streaming services are turning into cable I dropped them too and will wait for the next thing. If talking to some large group of faceless masses becomes annoying and spam filled, I’ll keep my resources for other things I can turn my attention to.

It’s weird to me to see these artificial structures treated as though they’re some real solid thing with no alternatives. That’s literally these companies’ PR to make us believe it
