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.
