Undoubtedly, many protestors against the National Socialist Association of Taiwanese Students have argued against their cause. Many see the group as being mentally ill. This doesn't seem to surprise me as much as it has others. Why? It doesn't surprise me because, so many social groups that have faced hardship and judgment, always find some kind of way to set themselves "back". Racial slurs being accepted and used as words of salutation as well as nations who are politically confused after having achieved democratic stature.
In regards to the Taiwanese students, I wouldn't place any judgments on them so quickly (if at all). They are searching for the positive in Hitler's past tactics...it's their choice? I am interested to understand their frame of mind. We are living in a "diluted" democracy and a lot of individuals here, still have psychological issues and civil unrest. We want freedom for all, yet we shun those who have a difference in sexual orientation.

- Falling Backwards -
and just like your marbled necklace, I too was MADE IN TAIWAN.
Created amongst an island of political unrest.
Here, my lifestyle doesn’t belong to me, but it belongs to them.
I haven’t had enough time to form my own personality or beliefs,
They are ever changing.
One day, we are a Republic, the next we are considering independence,
Now, we just might go backwards into those years of discrimination
And ignorance and contempt for those who appear different.
Our youth has violated all that we stand for and has resorted to
Seeking influence from he who bears a mustache…
He who flaunts a swastika.
The disloyalty when we ourselves have been judged,
Confined as laborers and reluctant members of the KMT.
Those years of victimization have come to mean nothing.
Just like my generation, I travel backwards.
Go back!
Go back!
Stop here!
Our educated children are no longer our future, but our past reincarnated.
just like your ceramic kettle, I too was MADE IN TAIWAN.

Look at it this way, back to around the time Hitler was elected in as Chancellor of Germany. There were the three most powerful nations in the world: Britain, Germany, and The United States, now lets take a look at each leader.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with astrologist.
He’s
had two mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8 to 10 martinis a
day.
Winston Churchill
He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used opium in
college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.
Hitler
He is a decorated war hero. He’s a vegetarian, doesn’t smoke, drinks an
occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.
As you can see, Hitler was only given the image as the most evil sadistic man in the world, even though he is. Yet our politicians were just as bad. Just a little somethin to think about.
I was once told my generation is the smartest generation of all, but the news in Taiwan added more disbelief about the statement. Where I come from, there are a handful of scholars amongst my misfit-peers. It is amazing to say those Taiwan-Nazi-scholars can be more of a threat to our society then my town’s juvenile delinquent.
Most leaders practice bad habits...which is indeed the irony. The youth has indeed sought other means of inspiration...it's sad, but it the truth.
Thanks guys for your input. ;)
