Migrant workers marched to the Legislative Yuan in Taipei this afternoon, calling for an end to the 12-year time limit to how long they can live in Taiwan. They dressed up as expired meat and bombs with 12-year fuses, arguing that the time limit treats their bodies and labor as disposable.

The Dutch did not leave many loanwords in Taiwan, but those they did leave are super interesting. You'd think that the word for cabbage, gaolicai 高麗菜, means 'Korean vegetable'? Nah. Say it in Hokkien: Ko-lê(-tshài), from Dutch 'kool' (Ger. Kohl, engl. cole) XD 😁

Last year I went to an event organized by Korea Verband in Berlin to fight for Ari (the peace memorial that was removed recently on the request of the Japanese ambassador) and I met a chinese activist named Wang. His mission is to raise awareness for the crimes comitted by japan in China during WW2

Schön, wenn man von diesem Verein dann einen Preis für die propagandistische Arbeit bekommt. Das schöne an der Staatsräson und dem hiesigen pseudo-anti-Antisemitismus als Kulturerrungenschaft ist, dass es keiner Gleichschaltung bedarf wenn man Leute mit der gleichen Ideologie bei jedem Medium hat.

Is China positioning itself as banker for sanctioned authoritarians locked out of the global financial system? Myanmar may be perfect testing ground. Beijing's new cross border payment system CIPS would allow junta to evade sanctions, bypassing US dollar based Swift network used to apply sanctions.

"Taiwan is like if communists won the Greek civil war and Crete was occupied" "Taiwan is like the US civil war but with a diffrent outcome" "Taiwan is the Israel of Asia" How about learning the history of Taiwan indstead of making up nonsensical comparisons?

I have some taiwanese friends considering moving to germany to study at university here and i always advise them to considere really carefully, because of the racism and burocratic hurdles they are going to face here...

"they position the Holocaust as an event that Germans must always remember and mention but don't have to fear repeating, because it is unlike anything else that's ever happened or will happen" M. Gessen bringt deutsche Erinnerungskultur prägnant auf den Punkt (von 2023)

the chinese state is has class contradictions, any type of in-person organizing is absolutely impossible and online cencorship is extremly strict. I find it extremly arrogant of western leftists to pretend all of that is just western propaganda.

It is undeniable that the chinese state is good at building infrastructure, while economic conditions are worsening in western countries. However real exsiting problems in china shouldn't be ignored or downplayed as western leftists traveling to china like to do.

today is a good day to remind people that Cleo Gennison who is a black transwoman is still in prison in neuruppin, with the charge of manslaughter, despite extremly questionabel evidence #JusticeForCleo www.instagram.com/p/DQ2pRQljGG...

This is extremely bad for Indonesian friends, reducing judicial oversight of police investigations, allows for far greater detention during investigations (pre-charge), allows for greater use of surveillance w/o judicial oversight & a lot more that will curtail freedoms & the right to privacy.

"Das Gespenst des Autoritären wird zum neuen Catchword einer Szene, die sich immer näher an die tatsächliche Autorität im Land heranarbeitet – just in dem Moment, in dem der Antisemitismusbegriff, den sie zuvor so exzessiv genutzt hat, fast vollständig ausgehöhlt ist." Meine neue Kolumne in ND

Volle Soli mit den Stabilen von ‘solid. Der Rest von euch kann sich ficken gehen. Traurig was aus euch geworden ist. Erst nichts auf die Beine stellen, dann die Demo auf nach der Sommerpause verschieben und bei erstbester Gelegenheit im Chor mit Springer bothsideism betreiben. Done with you

Das Selbstbestimmungrecht unterschiedlicher Völker gegeneinander ausspielen ist awesome! Auch ich finde manche Postionen der Linksjugend zu China nicht gut, aber die richtige Position wäre mmn sich für Uiguren und Palästina einzusetzen, weil es sich in beiden Fällen um Siedlerkolonialismus handelt

"'Turning Point Taiwan' Memorial Turns Violent as Religious Right Gains Momentum in Taiwan" by @yolingwrites.bsky.social

Still recovering from LongCovid and I spent a lot of time thinking about how similar the recovery experience feels to medically transitioning. In both situations progress is happening inspite the hurdles and limitations that the health care system is imposing on me.

Also recently recived this book a friend send me from Taiwan. Contains the best explanations of Tang dynasty poetry that I have read so far. The introduction is written in a very chinese nationalist tone, which is not surprising bc. the publisher is called 三民書局
