我之前在呂正惠教授的文章下留言，提到「台獨意識」是委屈感的產物。有主張台獨的網友反駁，玆簡單答覆︰
一、台灣是中國的土地（這一點，全世界都同意，包括台灣政府自己。見於台灣的中華民國憲法），沒有人強迫你要做中國人，你要獨立建國，請另外找地。台獨者自以為長居台灣，是台灣的主人，台灣卻是中國的土地，於是覺得委屈。
二、你的祖先，都是以中國人的身分來到台灣的。他們與清朝官員是同一國，他們沒覺得被外國統治。他們生活在台灣，對政府的態度，與生活在福建等大陸地區的人民沒有兩樣。
三、人是文化的產物，而非獨立在文化之外的個體。（當然，文化也是生生不息變動不居的，而非死的鐵板一塊。）而國家是文化的反映，而非人民自組的團體。這是中國文化下的國家觀念。也就是英國馬丁教授所說「中國是一個文明偽裝成一個國家」的含意。
四、台獨意識所以成氣候，就是因為炒作「台灣是受氣包」成功，而讓大家覺得「我們被欺負夠了，該有自己的國家」。這就是委屈感。悲情意識，是台獨在感情上的支撐。
五、文化的迷失，人生的淺層化，物質享受片面化，缺乏意義縱深與歷史感，是台獨的另一溫牀。這個意識，反映的是「西瓜靠大邊」，那個對我有利我就選那個。因為英美的自由對我更有利，所以我不要中國，而選擇投向西方懷抱的「獨立」。但殊不知，一旦東風壓倒西風，誰自由誰不自由，就會顛倒過來。自由，一向是勝利者的專利，奮鬥者只有犧牲自由以求勝出。想想你當學生時如何面對考試便能明白。

1. above is very easy to refute. I don’t think you’re going to approve/publish this post because it’s really going to piss you off.
1. The first political regime ever, that is based on the Chinese mainland, to politically and militarily incorporate and subsume Taiwan within a mainland-based political system, is the Qing. The Qing is led by a Manchu family/clan and the Manchus are an alien ethnicity not ever considered “Chinese", not even now. Even they don’t consider themselves Chinese. I personally despise the Manchus, but that is another discussion. The only time period, ever, in the history of the world, when a Chinese mainland-based regime had legal jurisdiction over Taiwan, where that regime was indisputably, bona fide “Chinese", was 1945-1949, less than *four* years. this was the time period between the end of WWII, when Chiang’s Nationalist government still had China, and when they were expelled from China, in 1949, and forced to take refuge in Taiwan. In 1949, Chiang’s Nationalist government ceased to be a “mainland-based" regime. So, think about it: *4* years, out of a supposed 5000 year-old history. 4 years doesn’t entitle any “Chinese" regime to claim Taiwan. This is as thin a claim as the Jewish claim that their ancestors inhabited Palestine 2000 years ago and so they’re entitled to own Palestine, now, in 2023.
Actually, no, you’ve completely misunderstood the psychology of us Taiwanese indépendantistes. It’s not really out of a sense of “grievance" that we want Taiwanese independence, as you claim. Maybe *you* are the one acting on a sense of grievance when you hate the TAiwanese, hate us. We want Independence because as we see it, “Chinese" mainstream culture as it has developed, in the last two hundred years or so, has nothing that is inspirational, or uplifting. There is nothing in mainstream, late-stage imperialistic Chinese culture that inspires us Taiwanese to see ourselves as part of any sublime project bigger than our individual selves. It’s just every-man-for-himself corruption and dastardly behaviour. We want to break free and we want to blaze our own trail. We want to be human, in the fullest sense of the word, and not be sucked into the futile, hollow project of national “rejuvenation" that all you waishengren unificationists have been harping on and on about for the last hundred years or so, and that is bound to fail.
