Libs, always asking others to make their lives easier. If you care enough about Taiwan to argue about it online, but you don’t care enough to look up their parties and their institutions at even a cursory level, then maybe you can understand why the the left is constantly trying to throw you out of discourse spaces. You’re lazy, entitled, ignorant, confident, and self-righteous. It’s a disgusting combination.
Edit and here you are, casually excluding the admittedly and respectfully ignorant, while they try to become better informed.
Is this how you think you bring people to your position? Or educate them?
Edit this is a global discussion platform. Someone is allowed to say “I don’t know what that is”. You don’t have to hold their hand, you could for example say “those are political factions in Taiwan,” and that’s that, but criticizing someone for saying they don’t understand is gatekeeping, shitty behavior. Assuming their political alignment (and then denigrating them for that assumed alignment), all based on their seemingly good natured request for clarification is additionally shitty.
Edit edit it is also a journalistic and academic standard to write out acronyms the first time they are used, this isn’t an opinion thing, a political alignment thing or any else.
