Under the table
On Saturday, I went to the front square of the Taipei City Government on Saturday to experience the atmosphere of the Taiwan gay parade this year.Because this year is the first year of the legalization of same -sex marriage in Taiwan. The scale of the parade is larger than in previous years. The number of participants is as many as 200,000, and the atmosphere of the event is obviously different. The air is more happy and proud from marriage equality.
With the presidential and legislators elections, this parade this parade also has a strong political flavor this year. In addition to the time legislator Huang Guochang, the DPP legislators candidates are also led by the party secretary of the party, Lin Feifan,His appearance.From time to time, the participants can also see the slogans such as Xiao Ying or supporting Hong Kong.The participating Taiwanese sang the theme song of Hong Kong's fighting against each other several times to return to Hong Kong to express their support for the Hong Kong's anti -repair campaign.Although the rainbow flag symbolizing the gay movement fluttering, green seems to be the main color of the parade.
It's not difficult to understand the phenomenon of comrades.Four years ago, Tsai Ing -wen, the president who supported the equality of marriage to the youth support. Although the pressure of the traditional green camp ticket warehouses such as the southern county and the Christian Presbyterian Church, she still survived the parties to rebound and finally fulfilled her campaign promise.Let the same marriage in Taiwan legal.I admire Cai Yingwen's political risks, and many young people and gay ethnic groups have therefore become a firm backing for Cai Yingwen's re -election.
In fact, the connection between the comrades and the green camp does not become closely due to the legalization of the same marriage.In the past few years, it is not difficult for people who often patronize Taiwan's independent bookstores or coffee shops to find that most stores will hang anti -nuclear cloth strips, rainbow flags, and totems with Taiwan independence consciousness.Obviously, in the process of democratization in Taiwan, the two major dealers Mdash; MDash; anti -nuclear and Taiwan independence, which have long claimed to have long claimed to be the DPP.This also illustrates why the Taiwan Comrade Parade has become an alternative platform for supporting Hong Kong's anti -repair campaign.
From the perspective of political operations, the progress value of parcels provides a weapon for the DPP, which has always adopted the radical route.Chen Xing, a professor at the Taiwan Research Institute of Beijing United University, attended the academic seminar of cross -strait relations from the Straits a while ago. When analyzing the structural changes and impacts of Taiwan's public opinion, it is pointed out that from the perspective of social policy demands, social changes and even social transformation often have to use.The lofty ideas and noble demands describe a beautiful vision for the public, and compare with reality to create a huge gap, form a strong change in social consciousness, and even provoke social dissatisfaction in order to gather the trend.
Chen Xing believes that under the long -term construction of the DPP, anti -nuclear, Taiwan independence, marriage, and even abolition (that is, the abolition of the death penalty) has become the ideal appeal of society, and its value is not to challenge.However, when the right to talk about these progressive value issues is monopolized, it may further develop the DPP in the direction of radicalism. As a result, it brings more collisions and damage to Taiwan's political and social development.As for the same marriage, after the DPP rushed through the relevant special laws in May this year, the cracks between the same and anti -fellow camps did not dilute due to time, but instead exacerbated.
On the other hand, if the value of progress lacks rational speculation, it will inevitably weaken topic discussions and the quality of democratic politics.Take Taiwan comrades to support Hong Kong as an example. When supporting Hong Kong and the same group are tied to one of the simple slogans, this is undoubtedly to further label the comrades' groups and deepen the Hong Kong demonstrators who have concentrated on the martial arts of Taiwan's comrades on the streets illegally illegally on the streets.The impression of violence.
In the same way, when the comrades are in the mood of gratitude, they will vote to vote for friends in the election next year, that is, supporting Cai Yingwen and Green Camp legislators, instead of discussing or fully skipping the Democratic Progressive Party's governance and moral lack of morality in the past three years(Such as the criticism of a mediocre rewarding culture, the anti -direct democracy of the confiscation of referendum), the value of improvement has lost rational reflection, and the opportunity to promote learning from reflection.
In addition, the progress value of parcels can easily become the identity marking of the ethnic group to distinguish between the enemy and me, and encourage the confrontation of ideology.For example, on the online communication platform of many comrades issues, Blue Armor (that is, the comrades supporting the Kuomintang) have been attacked by other gay ethnic groups.This kind of speech bullying is obviously running counter to the diversity and tolerance of the gay movements.
When the former US President Barack Obama recently put forward his views on the situation of the United States politics today, he reminded those young people who advocated a wake -up culture, which is unsuccessful to over -emphasize the purity and uncompromising of ideology.The same situation is also applicable to Taiwan.When various progressive values are no longer wrapped in election operations; when the value of progress is based on rational speculation; when comrades are no longer abducted by ideological purity and forced to support specific political parties or political figuresGet demonstrated.
