No excuse. My gf got the usual no-frills public education here, but she’s well aware of what the nazis were.
[quote=“Mr He”]From the TT piece linked above.
[quote]Writing in the NSA forum under the handle “Lahn,” another founder-member of the NSA insisted the group is not neo-Nazi or racist.
“What Hitler meant by `superior race’ is superior cultural content and not biological phenotype,” he wrote.
Lahn Chao (趙威) – Lahn’s real name – told the Taipei Times he is a 24-year-old pursuing his master’s degree in political science at National Zhengzhi University.[/quote]
OK, it would appear that he has not bothered to read “Mein Kampf” or bother with the minor fact that When hitler talked about “extermination of undesirable elements”, he meant the extermination bit literally, and not as a metaphor for self-improvement.[/quote]
He wouldn’t know the difference between Chow Mein and Mein Kampf.
It’s a bit weird in the article that these people are saying “it’s not racist” but then seem determined to suggest elimination of the mixed-race children of Taiwan-foreign couples.
[quote]Elsewhere on the forum, however, Hsu, writing under the handle “Joshua,” promulgated the treatment of immigrant workers and their offspring in terms that seemed disturbingly reminiscent of the Nazis’ final solution.
“If foreign laborers have children in Taiwan, the government must exterminate them. In order to stop our genetic stock from further deterioration, strict monitoring and cruel punishments are called for,” Joshua wrote.[/quote]
So we’re right back to good ol’ Taiwan-style racism again, just showing up in a new form that involves cosplay jackasses.
I’m sorry but…SS? “Ve haf vays off making you do zee lotus pozition, ja?”
Yes, like in Jackass
What a bunch of jackasses. I just took a look at their website full of bad English and German, although the Chinese doesn’t appear too intelligent either. Just do a Google search for “國家社會主義學會” and you’ll find these guys fast enough. The Chief Gropenmyassenfuehrer’s email is Nazijoshuaisme@hotmail.com
Actually, I think it might not be such a bad idea for someone to show them how the NSDAP really started – take them back to the early days of the 1920s when they had to survive constant street fights with commies. See how these soft, pudgy Taiwanese “nazis” stand up to a good stomping every day for a week or so. How else can we see if they are “worthy” to hold any banners high?
However this sort of idiocy is not merely limited to the Taiwanese. When I was in university, the president of the local College Republicans ended up transferring universities when the student paper published the contents of a notebook he’d left behind in a classroom. The guy, a poli-sci undergrad, had written up a whole illustrated plan of a new Nazi takeover of the United States in which, of course, he was the future fuehrer.
One of our mods here bragged about demonstrating in front of AIT and singing The Internationale. If he were a Nazi instead, do you think he’d be a mod?
Given the amount of WWII movies and games people watch/play how could they not know what the hell Nazi is?
Maybe “Diary of Anne Frank” should be a mandatory reading in Taiwan.

You think it would be any help?
When “Saving Private Ryan” opened in Taipei, they parked a couple of APCs in front of the theater and had some local clowns wearing black tshirts and camo pants doing some kind of lame Taiwanese hip-hop dance on top.
During the movie, locals were laughing their asses off during the combat scenes. I had one guy ask me why the soldiers were scared…that they weren’t heroes.
What [i]can[/i] you say in the face of such mindnumbing stupidity?

“Don’t worry. You’ll find out soon enough when the PLA come marching down your street.”

They will be busy training the “hands up” routine by then.
So what? Westerners love these:

Treason? I wasn’t aware that the CSA was part of Canada…although the Empire did support the Confederacy.
Why don’t we write up a list of difficult to answer questions and send them to this guy who heads this party.
[quote=“Mother Theresa”][quote=“Doctor Evil”][quote=“Mother Theresa”]The OP has nothing to do with Buddhist symbols. It’s about a bunch of college students, and graduates, who claim the Nazi party would serve as a good alternative to the KMT and the DPP. For me the most troubling aspect of the story is that one can graduate from college and remain so completely ignorant. I don’t believe they’re advocating discrimination or genocide. I believe they’re just totally clueless. Heck, this one even majored in politics.
:loco:[/quote]
So what? We have communist parties in the US and here in Taiwan. Westerners with graduate degrees wear Che Guevara tshirts and watch romantic movies about him.
Are they somehow more enlightened?[/quote]
Good point. And the Shrub was elected twice. The world is full of idiots.[/quote]
As was Blair. As was Berlusconi. As was Putin. Yes, the world is full of idiots.
[quote]http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/03/14/asia/AS-GEN-Taiwan-Nazi-Movement.php
A group of Taiwanese university students has set up a Nazi political movement advocating national unity, strength and curbing immigration, the group’s co-founder said Wednesday.
But Chao (the founder), studying for his a graduate degree in political science at Taipei’s prestigious National Chengchi University, denied he was anti-Jewish, and maintained his intention was to foster greater nationalism in Taiwan, an island of 23 million people off China’s southeastern coast.[/quote]
Thank goodness at least the KMT can give up the mantle of being the Nazi party on Taiwan.
Maybe Taiwan culture will be able to remake Nazism to be a cuter, gentler version of the European movement.
Can anybody with a bit better Chinese skills than me check this out:

I am not sure what they write in the article itself, but a link to this idiotic clowns seems to be a bit much, even if it is “just a wiki side”.
Memo to self: When starting my own Nazi Party, remember not to let on to the media that most of my several dozen followers are in junior high or high school.
It would also make a lot of sense for them to choose a party structure that isn’t based around the assumption that German “nordic” types are the best. Extracts from the Nazi party membership requirements circa 1940:
Oops. Pretty much shoots down the whole “Taiwanese Nazi” thing right there…
Well, with the Taiwanese group consisting mostly of teens and pre-teens, seems that they wouldn’t measure up here, either.
Nothing that a few good ol’ fashioned street fights wouldn’t fix.
Oops. Looks like another problem with joining…

(a) The marriage partner of the applicant is not free from Jewish or colored racial admixture; . . . [/quote]
Even if these people were old enough to be married, the “colored racial admixture” would be pretty strong. Just thinking that the very foundational base for the Nazi party was based around racism that certainly did not favor the non-Germans. Given my own muttish origins I’m sure I’d have been one of the first they put up the chimney, so it seems the Taiwanese students are working from a fundamental misconception.
mingshah – the site is full of ignorance and a highly simplified version of the Nazi story. One whole section has their writeup of Nazi cheers.
