Beijing suck-up? lol
I'm for freedom. The CCP is the antithesis of freedom. As are you.
What do Taiwanese people want? They want to maintain the status quo indefinitely. They do not want unification, and they do not want independence.
That is why the KMT remains in and out of power along with the DPP.
The only people talking about outlawing political parties are you, and the CCP. And yet you'd have us believe you two are somehow fundamentally different.
Find any Reichstags to burn lately?

And the population in general does not support independence.
Of the 3 variants of "maintain the status quo" that polling indicates has any popular support whatsoever, "move towards independence" has the least support.
"Maintain status quo, decide at later date", and "Maintain status quo indefinitely" are the two fighting for a plurality.

Because a majority of Taiwanese seek peaceful relations. They're fully aware of PRC's claim on ROC land. They're playing The Great Game, and frankly, they're doing it well.

Treating the PRC like an enemy is a good way to lose their pseudosovereignty real fucking quick-like.
Realpolitik. It's why it's important to have politicians in power that are smarter than you are.

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you aren't being deliberately misleading.

Statistically, there is no difference in the volcanism of 400-600 CE, vs 1800-2000 CE.
Cherry picking a peak isn't useful. This is why we have linear regression.

Just b'cos a country is a democracy doesn't mean that it has to tolerate seditious parties. Which is what the KMT now is

Seditious? If a minority declares the majority seditious, and removes them from power, do you know what that is?
That's a fucking coup, you dipshit.

I don't want a DPP monopoly on power.

Yes, the Nazis didn't want an NSDAP monopoly on power either- they just ejected everyone they disagreed with, lol.
You're disgusting.

You've just proved my point. You can't say shit without strawmanning.
I don't support Beijing in the fucking slightest.
The CCP can get fucked.
You're the other side of their coin.
Like the Nazis roping people in by convincing the communists were coming to steal all their shit. That's all you are.

I know hating on Xbox is the approved take, but Microsoft isn't going to walk away from their cut of the console market in your lifetime.

Currently, the Presidency is held by the DPP, but the legislature has a KMT majority.
Your take is that means that people don't support the KMT?
So whoever holds the Presidency can declare a majority of the population to be enemies of the state, simply because a larger majority of the population holds a view on a certain topic that aligns with yours?

You single-issue-voters and "my political enemies are traitors" bastards really are a blight upon this fucking world.

The KMT is not "not in power", you ignorant shit-for-brains.
They're the current fucking majority in the legislature, and have been in power on and off along with the DPP since their dictatorship fell.

If Taiwan were to expel them, the DPP would just be the new dictator. But that's what you want if we're being real, isn't it?
You don't have a problem with authoritarianism- you just want to be the authoritarian.

I am not bending over backwards for Russia. That's a pile of horseshit.
That might be what you perceive, but it's because your own viewpoint is distorted to all fucking hell.

Nobody ever equivocated the nations.
However, actions stand alone, they are not painted by who did them. Thinking otherwise is the root of nearly every fucking atrocity ever committed in the name of someone's subjective good.

Also this black and white claim is as much a presuppositional projection as what I did yet.

Bullshit! You just fucking did it!
Pointing out an equivalency is immediately reduced to calling both things equal! It's your way, or the fucking "BOTH SIDES!!!!!!" highway.

in fact I can make a purely selfish defense of the same positions.

Excellent!

That assisting Ukraine is purely in the geopolitical interests of America, that America has a long history of picking sides in conflicts, that Ukraine can be the moral actor here and still do immoral actions.

This I agree with, with zero reservations.
