Well, need to get going... Bye, my dear friends and folks in Taiwan.
See you later...

黃艋舺 在國際地緣霸權政治體系下, 台灣: Ilha Frmosa - 真是 匹地/庶民無罪, 懷璧其罪!
A brief translation, see below:


黃艋舺 Surrounded by the global geo-hegemonic system, Taiwan, Ilha Formosa, has embedded with an unwanted intriguing status internationally ever since she was discovered centuries ago.


黃艋舺 Most internationally-based economic-political devices were imposed on her, including imperialism, colonialism, neo-colonialism/multi-national corporation, and multiple global warfares. Now, though, more convoluted than ever... stands strong.

黃艋舺

...a precious place in which I grew up. 無敵國外患者, 國恆亡; 太多太長敵國外患, 重重傷!

Four score and seven years ago...

Back to Wisconsin.
Song for tonight:

Oct.4 (F) 2019 Rerun episodes of - The Waste Wing

Sharing of today on facebook:

As a visual artist and politico-melodrama appreciator - not bad shows.
But as a privileged heavy taxpayer :



黃艋舺

- down to the horrific rabbit hole...

黃艋舺

For America to be great again, impeachment is a meandering solution. (Is this what my heavy-taxes pay for, inevitably?)

For the existing "false" consciousness in Taiwan (Hong Kong too?), it might not be so much anticipated...

As to China, it is intriguingly needed.
Japan, Korea(s): See what happens.
Russia: Well, good luck - Democracy!
Southeastern Asia: mmm...

Wall Street: Oh....Noooooo!
High-end and low-end redneck/knucklehead bases - please pardon our savior!!

Oct 3 (Th), 2019 How to shorten the gap between humans and animals?

Facebook asks: what's on my mind.

I robotically responded as follows:

黃艋舺 After decades of struggle, I think I am starting enjoying a tiny bit of my hard-earned freedom - by my definition.


黃艋舺 Since Jan 20, 2017, this is the 971st impeachment, politico-melodramatically...

Oct 2 (W), 2019 With uneasiness and sympathy - from a politico-historical perspective

I watched a long video yesterday (Oct. 1st) with patience, maze, and a perplexing feeling. With 8 years' military service in the past, the video makes me uneasy with sympathy. So I made the following poster to share:

黃艋舺 A funny reflection: I have been learning English since my junior high school in Taipei, and at this stage, guess, what the most challenging thing is in grammar?
To me, definitely, the definite article: THE !!


黃艋舺
一國之利器, 不可輕示視於人? 若示於人, 則是為何? (不怕被 "偷" ? 　!?) 很久以前的人 (around 1958) 要用15~20年去超英趕美, 還是有一點腳踏實地的去土法煉鋼地 .

也許, 現在操捷徑變成是一種新道德?

日本的早期工業化,手腕比較委婉 (質拙?) 一點, 用抄襲和模仿, 也照樣的走過來了.

善言逆耳: 這個習慣一定要改. 否則海外庶人無罪, 長像其罪, 像這種 - 即迅刻板印象標籤, 會害很多無辜的人, 而且很影響國際視聽! 並且不要向過去的美國看齊, 以前他們向黑人 (不付錢的勞力), 紅人(土地與資源), 和窮人(早期窮移民的廉價勞力), 也可是偷得可名正言順, 理直氣壯的啊!

要做個徹底的超資本共產主義, 在21世紀, 是不是還需要扛著那個舊石器時代的巨型招牌, 招搖過街地 ? - 我的一個疑點....


黃艋舺  話說回來, 鴉片戰爭不平等條約, 八國聯軍庚子賠款等等, 這算哪一種偷呢? 或者是 - 偷搶兼備, 很難講... 國際公法對不平等條約的解釋範圍非常的窄, 也不重視. 成者為王, 敗者倒楣. 不過雖是番邦, 倒是有幾個, 用不同的方式去還錢的. (This is "sympathy" - a couple of friends asked what I meant.)

Oct 1 (T) 2019 Regarding October 1st and the previous post of "一將功成萬骨枯"

Some facebook friends asked the meaning of the previous post.  So, here is a brief translation side by side to my original writing:

Here is the previous post with a minor revision on facebook:

About the phrase "一將功成萬骨枯", I just completed the following poster to express a tiny part of the original meaning:
