Truth behind 228 and Pro TI movement


The people who died in 228 were rich aristocrats who lost in a power struggle against the Nationalist government. That's why their decedents hate KMT. I bet Will Tiao was from one of the rich families. They probably owned a lot of lands back then only be taken away by KMT in a Land Redistribution scheme to strip of land owners the power.

Real Taiwanese should celebrate 228. KMT redistributed these lands to the poor farmers which are 95% of people in Taiwan. Taiwanese all benefit from the scheme. The rich people got company stocks of some of the major industries of Taiwan which is now worth hundreds of million dollars.

Of course, the people who died in 228 was dead for good reason. A failed revolution kills. Why blame KMT for actively eliminate revolutionaries? Evidences point out most of rich and educated folks back then were socialists who once supported Taiwanese communist party.

Finally, oversea Pro TI groups were rich folks who fled (abandoned) their homeland. They were so rich that they were able to purchase plane tickets or boat tickets out of Taiwan. Plane tickets were really expensive. The 228 decedents sold Taiwanese assets and invested in US. They literally stop investing in Taiwan. I think it's a betrayal. After years of investing in US, they decided to use the US money to fund their attempts to gain political powers in Taiwan. This is after 40 years of exile.

It's even more embarrassing. They finally found Chen shui bian, a pro TI candidate, to support their cause. It turn out the former president took their money and buy assets in US.

Pro-TI is a joke. That's it.
