Sono 太 TMD incazzatissimo!

@owenjonesjourno The first part is very dubious. I think that if you say "I support Israel’s onslaught against Gaza”, there can be repercussions for your career.

@gvuckovic @thetweetbeat365 @SarahEttedgui The guy's talking about 1929, you absolute fool.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@struggleberries @michaelturton @donaldcclarke That's true. But then again, calling the Taiwanese Chinese is a lot less ridiculous than calling Nigerians British, even though I think Taiwanese should be allowed to decide themselves whether they are Chinese or not.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@struggleberries @michaelturton @donaldcclarke In Nigeria people still subconsciously favour politicians who speak proper English. Does this mean it's still a British colony? This stuff happened everywhere.

@struggleberries @michaelturton @donaldcclarke No country has an ideal constitution or system. Taiwan comes pretty close though.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@struggleberries @michaelturton @donaldcclarke Well yeah, and according to this standard every post-colonial society is still under a colonial regime. Democratic elections and self-rule will never undo everything in one go. It's fine to look at the legacy of the KMT's regime, but don't talk like Taiwan is still under it!

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@struggleberries @michaelturton @donaldcclarke China can't change its constitution because of the threat of war from China. And so? What does that have to do with it still being under colonial rule? It clearly isn't. It has a democratically elected government of the Taiwanese, regardless of whether it calls itself the ROC.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@struggleberries @michaelturton @donaldcclarke I'm pretty sure the Taiwanese weren't able to vote for the Japanese who were actually running their island. There are elections in China too, does that make China as democratic as Taiwan? Taiwan today is a genuine democracy with meaningful elections.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@struggleberries @michaelturton @donaldcclarke 1) they still don't hold power. 2) they hold those seats because Taiwanese voted for them. How on earth is that a "colonial regime"? Be serious.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@michaelturton @donaldcclarke Yeah, but the KMT isn't even in power anymore, so claiming that Taiwan is still under a colonial regime is ridiculous.

@shaunrein And why are all the rich corrupt?

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@Linahuaa @Romy_Holland "uyghurs still attend mosque prayers regularly..." That's untrue and you know it.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@kana_suki_cs It's not true they all do, but Jakarta's middle and upper classes do tend to speak it extremely fluently, in a way that you don't find in Bangkok or Hanoi for instance.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@SecondRingSZN Oh, you have attitudes like this about all countries. If Canadians are white, that's just incidental.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@D162Michele Every single building in the centre of the Italian village I grew up in is older than the US. In China it's actually quite rare to find anything that old. Across the Mediterranean it's completely normal.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@WarrenVsCCP This is simplistic. There are ordinary Chinese who access Twitter through a VPN. Some of them have then got into trouble for posting anti-government content. Don't paint every Chinese with the same brush.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@SKR_Economist It is also support for de facto independence.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@TheKiranHill @polanskydj @daveweigel Pretty sure the "moral consequences" of letting Israel be overrun by Syrian and Egyptian tanks, and a few million Jews killed or displaced, would have been far more severe.

[Sinologo incazzato @sinologhi]

@ziguiraldo53607 @haravayin_hogh @AkshIye Cuba and Brazil are way less white.
