My Spirit Otter posted:Right? I mean, technically its all taiwan and the prc are an occupying force. iirc taiwan's rescinded their claim to the mainland, and even if they hadn't, it'd be just as much of a delusion as the PRC's claim to taiwan

"regime change / defending innocent people / spreading democracy / fighting terrorism" and "reclaiming territory lost to foreign intervention" are really just two forms of neo-colonialism. the us having different excuses doesn't mean much

iirc taiwan would be a tremendous naval asset. the PLA Navy is pretty boxed in as it is between korea, japan, and the phillipines. and while the days of the navy being one of the biggest tools in the "diplomacy" toolbox are behind us, it's still a big fuckin deal to be able to do the international relations equivalent of brandishing

nah i'd be surprised if taiwan ever declares independence. the PRC is (it seems to me, a layperson and dumbass) the only one with potential motivations to break the status quo. from taiwan's perspective they can keep on trucking forever like this

Grand Fromage posted:The funniest example of that were cops arresting people for cosplaying in Tang dynasty clothing because they were such dipshits they thought it was Japanese. few things span nearly all cultural divides. the word for mother starts with the "m" sound in almost every known language, virtually every culture has a tradition of bystanders issuing a verbal blessing to someone when they sneeze, and anywhere in the world you find cops, they're petty, cruel, and dumber than a clam

also idk if this is the case with those particular clothes but in some cases "traditional clothing" is not only beloved by fascists, but made up by them too with only the most tenuous connection to anything ever actually worn by anyone lederhosen & the ten-gallon hat are the two i know off the top of my head but i know there's more
