台灣最大公約數 – 反共去統不反中
The True Common Denominator of Taiwan

我察覺到一個新的台灣共識（最大公約數）正在成形，而且已經接近完成。雖然許多人還沒意識到這點，也還有一些人尚處在無感、或雖然有感但心理上拒絕的階段。

I sensed a New Taiwan Consensus is forming and near completion, although many are still not fully aware of it, some at the psychological stage of ignoring it and some even in total denial .

這新共識可以用三個原素的一句話來總結：反共、去統、不反中國平民。三元素環環相扣，構成了一個具有主旋律的直白命題：那些已經把台灣視為自己家鄉的人，已經把台灣當成一個與他方無涉的主體。

This New Consensus can be summarized in one expression with three parallel elements: opposing communism, de-unification and neutralness toward Chinese civilians. These three elements constitute an organic whole with a common theme that simply says, people who took Taiwan as their home deemed themselves as one distinct entity .

為了讓人們充分理解這三元素的意義，需要做一些進一步闡釋。我們這就開始。

I understand some elaboration may be needed to allow the three elements to be fully appreciated, especially the third one. Let me begin.

1. 反共。台灣其實並沒有那麼反對自由的社會主義；事實上，台灣社會本身在日常生活型態中就含有明顯的自由社會主義的痕跡。但是，台灣絕不會容忍社會主義精神脫序到共產主義的地步。若然，那種社會主義就是敵人，沒有討論的餘地。台灣海峽彼岸的中國共產黨（CCP），就屬於這一類。

1. Opposing Communism – Taiwan is not that much against liberal socialism. In fact,there is a rather obvious strain of it already existing in its social life. However, Taiwan would not tolerate socialism when carried away to the extent of communism, and would take it as enemy. Period. Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on the other end of the Strait falls into this category.

2. 去統。在台灣，不但老一輩了解中共天天掛在嘴邊玩弄的「統一」，只不過是其用來維持政權、控制已經被洗過腦平民的一種虛偽口號，而年輕一輩只會以荒謬視之。因而，此處並沒有用過去的「反統」一詞，而是用「去統」，表示了一種將「統一」概念徹底由腦中去除的意思。就像「大掃除」的意思一樣，老早就該扔掉的東西就把它扔掉。

2. De-Unification – Not only do the older generations realize that the jingling of
“unification” of the CCP is just a bogus slogan for upholding its regime’s control
over the brain-washed civilians, the young generation of Taiwan simply finds the
slogan ridiculous. Therefore, rather than using the term “anti-Unification” as people used to do in the past, I think “De-Unification” – the unshackling of the very idea of unification, as one can relate with the word “de-clutter”- is a better suited term.

3. 不反中，指的是對中國平民保持中性的態度。過去三年間，包括我自己以及國際輿論，已經破除了那個存在已久的迷思 – 中共CCP就等同中國。情況根本不是這樣的。中共不等同中國，更不用說等同中國人民了。中共是一個具有9千8百萬黨員的巨大政黨，但那只是住在那塊土地上的14億人當中的7%。

3. Neutralness towards Chinese Civilians – In the past three years, people in Taiwan including myself, as well as the international community, have debunked the long-existed myth that CCP Is China. No, far from it. CCP is NOT equivalent to China, let alone the Chinese people. CCP is a huge party of 98 million members and that accounts for only 7% of the 1.4 billion Chinese people living on that landmass.

簡單的算數就可以呈現真相。對任何國家，如果僅佔7%的人口可以在政治上完全控制100%的人口，唯一的可能就是實施殘酷暴力或通過暴力改變人的頭腦。

Simple math would tell the truth. In any nation, when 7% of the population politically controls 100% of the population, it would be an impossibility unless by brutal violence or total brain coercion.

中國平民本身就是受害者。其他的國家，不應該膝蓋反應式的把受害者視為天生就是邪惡的。因此，無論在心態上還是現實地緣政治考慮下，台灣社會都應該把「必反」這詞留給共產黨而不是受害的平民。

Therefore, considering the Chinese civilians are victims themselves, people from other parts of the world should not act in a knee-jerk way towards the ordinary, victimized Chinese Civilians as if they are born evil. Either under a proper mindset or the practicality associated with geopolitics, Taiwanese society should and is starting to understand this point. “Anti-“ is an attitude reserved for CCP and not intrinsically for the ordinary and mostly victimized civilians.

這才是台灣的最大公約數。然而，為了選票的政治人物及民調機構拖累了台灣。每年每月的民調都在問早已失效的問題：你偏藍還是偏綠？你贊成獨立還是統一？

Putting together the above three Elements, thus there is the New Taiwan Consensus. What’s falling behind and dragging Taiwan’s feet, are the ballot-hungry politicians and the various outdated polling agencies. They do so many so-called popular surveys every year, sometimes monthly. And they stick to the long invalid way of setting up their survey questions: Are you favoring Green (DPP) or Blue(KMT)? Are you pro-independent or Pro-unification?

這種自我設限或自我審查的問法，使得其他國家以為台灣是個分裂社會。

This kind of self-confined or self-censored surveys leave other nations the impression that Taiwan is a split society, Green or Blue, Independence or unification etc.

台灣這種導致外人認為台灣是個分裂國家的作法，實在愚蠢。如果問的問題對，台灣是沒有分裂的。例如，如果將「你贊不贊成獨立」改為「你反共不反共」，結果肯定是98%以上。

It’s such a foolish thing to do for Taiwan itself misleading outsiders into deeming Taiwan as a split country. There is absolutely no split should the right questions be asked in the surveys. For example, had the question been changed from “Are you pro-independence or anti-independence” into “Are you pro-communism or anti-communism”，then the result would have been a clear-cut 98% or even 99.5% towards “anti”.

若問「你是反中國共產黨還是反中國老百姓」，前者不會低於80%，後者不會高於20%。

Now, try this further question: “Are you anti-Chinese Communist Party, or anti-Chinese common people”, my guess is the former gets at least 80% and the latter gets 20% at most.

第三個問題：「你願不願意被共產黨統治」，保證結果是99.9%的「不願意」。
The third question: “Would you be willing to live under the Communist Rule”? That would guarantee a resounding NO answer of 99.9%.

這就是新台灣共識、社會的最大公約數，應該向世界大聲、清楚、不含糊的說出來。

This is exactly how the New Taiwan Consensus looks like – the true common denominator among a seemingly divided Taiwan. And the New Taiwan Consensus should be articulated to the rest of the world, no vagueness, no grey area and unambiguously.

不信的話，可以用上述問題做幾次民調。而且我保證，在不久的將來，所有民主國家都會端出類似「台灣共識」的政策原則。

For any surveyor or politician who still has doubts about this New Taiwan Consensus, he or she can just conduct new surveys with questions suggested as above. And, I myself am convinced, in a not-so-distant future, all democratic countries on the planet would issue national policies based on guidelines similar to the New Taiwan Consensus, for the goodness of their respective countries.

所以，台灣為什麼不這樣做呢？這可是台灣展示世界政治領導力的機會啊！

So, Hey, Taiwan! Why not put a thrust on this Taiwan Consensus to the world by publicizing it unambiguously and show some political leadership, just for once?

後記：以雙語向全球發聲，將是我接下致力的方向。所使用的這兩種文字，涵蓋了35億人口，接近地球的一半人數。這個行動，將以 「前哨預策」網站 為核心基地，其他的社交媒體，只要有傳播力道，都會被用為衛星來做整體運作。

個人的思考、判斷不一定對，您也不見得同意，但是，我保證這平台中的每一句話都是獨立的、出自內心的。而今天的台灣，乃至於世界，最缺的就是突破傳統成見、不受黨派左右、同時又知錯能改的獨立思考力量。不知您是否同意？

「前哨預策」平台將分為三步走：內容平台 – 互動平台 – 行動平台。剛誕生的它，當前還只是個內容平台，但達到一定數量的會員支持後，將加入各種新媒體形式，與會員就重要議題互動，並以「達成不同意見之間的最大公約數」為目標。一旦在會員內部形成「最大公約數」後，就構成了行動的基礎。至於行動的形式，也由願意推動或參與的會員決定。

此平台婉拒任何政黨、政府的贊助，只接受個人會員或企業會員的贊助；所有收入及贊助，均將用於「讓台灣更好」的事務上，以及推動、發揮台灣作為東亞及世界的「關鍵少數」的槓桿角色，為人類下一波文明做出量力而為的貢獻。

我只能說，十年來的不斷保持獨立，希望能換得您對「不受任何政黨、政府左右」這一點點價值的認同。

【絕食第80日】【80th Day of Hunger Strike: Update & Volunteers' Thoughts】
17 / 9 / 2020

▍「除了停止了探訪外，這裡任何東西都沒變過。廁所依然是那麼髒，他們（入境處）連一塊香皂都沒有多給我們。」- 羈留者O生氣的說

自9月6日CIC出現第二單新冠確診，CIC便停止了探訪，所有羈留者都已經十天因探訪暫停而無法獲得一些基本衛生護理物資。以下為義工H的心聲：

CIC對認可物資要求十分苛刻，書一定不要有任何標註，連一個「由XX中學圖書館捐贈」的印章也容不下，「呢本唔入得」；香皂只能是藍色的，但藥房通常是一排六塊的賣，只有兩塊是藍色，總有四塊紫色、白色不知如何處理；以為只要寫著「祝君早安」的毛巾便可以，買到了，職員又說「標誌中一的不是「合」字，這不是正版」，退回，不收；買了兩包M&M想給羈留者，但被告知一次一定要給5包，而且一定要是同一顏色的包裝。第一次聽到時會又生氣又無奈，明明都是香皂、毛巾，這些要求除了用來留難訪客，有任何意思嗎？每次探訪，更是總會見到其他訪客有一些東西因不乎要求而被退回，山長水遠走到來CIC，卻沒法送物資到親人、朋友手上，會感到很可惜嗎？

怒氣與無奈，隨著探訪次數漸多而慢慢地被磨蝕。為了能順利地把物資送到羈留者手上，更是練成了一對金精火眼，去到不同藥房都認得出物資，知道格價合理與否。這一陣子，見到任何藥房都會逛一逛，見到適合的便買下。這幾天都接給幾位羈留者的電話，有的說急需牙膏、香皂（只能通過探訪才能獲得），有的說很悶想收新的書。我想說，我都準備了，只是不知何時才見到他們。

羈留者的來電中，讓我除了知道他們需要的物資外，更是體會到自由對他們的迫切。「7樓的40多人全被送到隔離營了，你有他們的消息嗎？」S問。「我需要幫助。我不想繼續留在CIC，這裡有新冠病毒確診。這裡不安全。」R說。我想這次CIC這次確診引致的Lockdown和全院檢測已充份反映到這個地方十分高危，為何還是要強行把一班無罪的人拘禁，置他們的健康生命於危險中？

「我們差不多所有羈留人士已經聯名向入境處寫了一封投訴書，抗議停止探訪並要求交代原因。」O說。「希望很快可以容許探訪。」

▍“I am very angry about this lockdown. They (ImmD) did nothing more to advance any prevention or protection measures. Just lockdown. We are running out of toothpaste, soap and hand wash.” — Detainee I

Due to the discovery of the 2nd confirmed case of COVID-19 on 6th September, CIC has suspended all visit. All detainees have since been unable to receiving basic hygienic products from their visiting friends. It has been 10 days. Below are some thoughts of our volunteer H:

CIC is exceptionally meticulous, or better put, bureaucratic about the hand-in articles from visitors to detainees. A book must be totally clean, even a stamp that says “Donated by XX School Library” would made the book ineligible for handing in; The soap must be in blue, yet stores often sell this brand of soap in a pack of six, so volunteers would always be left with 4 bars of non-blue soap; when you bought the towel with the exact wording, the staff will always let you know that your towel is “knock-off” and therefore unaccepted; M&M must come in 5 packs of the same colour. When the articles I bought first got rejected by CIC officers, I was very frustrated. In terms of their function, the towels and soap I bought were just fine. And every time I visited, I always saw other visitors’ “unapproved” articles got rejected. Imagining coming all the way with the hope of giving a little something to make your detainee friend’s life slightly better, and yet got rejected for the bureaucratic instructions of CIC, would you feel upset?

Nevertheless, my angry and frustration has been numbed as I visited CIC more frequently. In order to successfully got the articles to detainees, I have become an expert. I have memorised the entire list of approved hand-in articles and know the prices for each item. And over time, I have stocked up these articles for the detainees. In the past few days, our concern group have received several calls from detainees, saying that they are lacking certain hygienic project. “We are running out of toothpaste, soap and hand wash.” they said. I would love to let them know that I have stocked up, yet I now have no idea when I can give things to them due to the lockdown in CIC.

From these calls from detainees, not only had I learnt about the certain items they need, but also what freedom meant to them. “40 detainees from 7/F have been sent to the isolation camp, do you have any news about them?”, detainee S asked me. “Actually I need help. I don’t want to stay long time in CIC. There is positive case here. CIC is not safe.” Detainee R said. I think the current lockdown of CIC have demonstrated exactly how CIC is not safe. There is a high risk for cross-infection of COVID-19 in CIC. So, why is the authority so determined to detain this group of innocent people, and put their health and lives in danger?

“Most detainees have wrote a complaint letter together to the Immigration Department against the lockdown and ask for reasons.” Said O. “Hope this complaint letter could help reopen visit soon.”

香港大專學界國際事務代表團 x 「我要攬炒」團隊

816遮打【「英美港盟 主權在民」集會 | 「Stand with Hong Kong, Power to the People」Rally】—— 攬炒巴發言 Speech by the Scorched-Earth Team

—————————————————————————

發言全文：
Full text of the Speech:

大家好，我係「我要攬炒」，好多謝大家出席呢一個晚會。
Hello everyone, I am “Scorched Earth”. Thank you all for coming to our rally this evening.

大專學界嘅集會結語，係向國際發出呼籲。而我攬炒，會以一個普通人身份向香港人致謝，亦多謝英國國會議員拍片支持，同表達少少對前路嘅睇法。
Hong Kong IAD closed their speech by making an appeal for international support I, as an ordinary HongKonger, would like to take this opportunity to express my appreciation towards the Hongkongers and UK MPs who support Hong Kong, and give my two pennies on how the crisis of Hong Kong may develop in the near future.

點解我會叫自己做我要攬炒呢。其實源於6月9號當日，我發現幾乎所有香港政府高官同保皇黨都有外國護照。
You may wonder why I took the pseudonym “Scorched Earth”. On 9th of June, I noticed that almost all of the government officials and pro-government politicians are holding foreign passports.

佢地只係假放棄外國護照一次，就享有肆意出賣香港利益既權力，與民為敵。
They may just renounce their passports once, leaving the option of reclaiming them later, they would be empowered to take personal advantage in their positions at the expense of Hong Kong, and act against the benefits of Hongkongers.

賣港之後，啲官同保皇黨就手執外國護照，一走了之。所以，我要取消佢地嘅外國護照重發權利，生生世世留喺大灣區，共享大灣區榮耀。同佢地攬炒。
After abusing their power for their own benefits, they may still leave Hong Kong by reclaiming their renounced passports. I therefore seek to have their rights to reclaim their foreign passport removed. They will then be forced to stay forever in China and to face the same “bright” future as us. If Hongkongers burn, they burn with us - thus the selection of the pseudonym of “Scorched Earth”.

不知不覺間，香港人已經奮戰咗兩個月。而呢兩個月，有三個時刻特別令我感觸同決定奮戰落去，同大家齊上齊落。
It feels like not a long time, but Hongkongers have been fighting for over two months already There were three particular moments during the last two months that touched me and made me even more determined to fight on, shoulders to shoulders, with everyone.
————-

第一個時刻，係6月10號見到有年青人，絕望地回應當權者 「反正都無未來，不如一槍啪死我」
The first moment was back on 10th June, when a young protestor hopelessly said to those in power, ‘You might as well kill me with a bullet – there is no future for me anyway.’

第二個時刻，係7月1號，梁繼平義士同大家講「我地今次一輸就係輸十年」
Then on the 1st of July, when the fearless protestor Brian Leung said ‘If we lose this battle, we are giving up our next ten years.’

第三個時刻，係7月廿八號，元朗有義士既盾牌俾子彈射穿，記者問佢點解仲堅持，義士好堅定咁回答「光復香港，時代革命」
The third moment was on 28th of July in Yuen Long. A police bullet went through the shield of one of the protestors. When a journalist asked why he was still standing firm for his belief , he said without hesitation , ‘Reclaim Hong Kong. Revolution of our times’.

呢三個時刻，反映到香港人逐漸將絕望嘅心情，轉化為無比勇氣對抗暴政。
These three moments show exactly how HongKongers gradually turn their hopelessness into courage, to fight against tyranny.
————

呢一刻我哋可能覺得好疲倦、好憤怒、好氣餒，但係請我哋唔好放棄，因為呢個係光復香港，時代革命嘅最後機會。
We may be tired, angry, or dejected, but please do not give up. This is the last chance to reclaim Hong Kong and succeed in the revolution of our times.

「光復香港，時代革命」唔係一句空洞口號，更加唔應該俾人利用黎分化我哋。
“Reclaim Hong Kong. Revolution of our times’ is not merely a slogan, and most definitely should not be used by some to divide us.


因為「光復香港」指既係：
光復香港嘅自由、人權、民主、資源自主同國際定位
It is because “Reclaim Hong Kong” means, to reclaim the freedom, human rights, democracy, control of resources and positioning in the world of Hong Kong.

而「時代革命」嘅意思係：
聲稱五十年不變既時代之中，由香港人一齊由下至上撼動政權，改變政治體制。
And “Revolution of Our Times” means, within the 50 years promised to have no changes in way of life, Hongkongers to shaken the government from bottom up together and to change the political system.
———

學術上，只要社會大眾，嘗試由下而上令 政治體制 有變化，就係革命。所以，2014年係革命，2016年係革命，2019年都係革命。
Academically, ‘revolution’ is a bottom-up attempt by the masses to bring about structural changes to their political system. That is why, it was a revolution in 2014, so was 2016, and now, WE ARE IN A REVOLUTION in 2019.

1984年至今35年，香港人不斷退讓，抱薪救火，最終導致退無可退。
Since the Joint Declaration was signed in 1984, for 35 years HongKongers have been compromising, naively believing that this is the way to save ourselves. That led to the dead end we are facing today.

對我地年輕一輩黎講，與其2047年默默死去，倒不如趁香港尚有 一絲希望既情況用盡最後一口氣，創造未來。
To the younger generation, they either rot towards death upon the arrival of year 2047, or, whilst there is still a chance, they would rather sacrifice themselves in the hope of real changes, and to pave a new path for Hong Kong.

有年長一輩問，到底我地後生既有無勇氣，
將抗爭 交返俾 傳統大台領導。
Some from the older generation asked, whether these youngsters are brave enough to let the established political parties to lead the movement again.

我不禁反問，傳統思維一輩又有無勇氣，放棄三十年黎既模式，放手俾我地手足以新思維新方式改寫香港命運？
I would ask in return, whether the established parties be brave enough to let go of the same old way they have been operating for 30 years, and let the next generation lead in their new mentality?

———

當年青人日以繼夜，夜以繼日以不同方式向政府施壓既同時，旦願我地回過頭黎，會見到年長一輩企喺現場，默默支持我地。
When young men and women continue to pile pressure onto the government day by day with their ever-changing strategy of protests , I just hope we would see more from the older generation to be there in the sites of protest to support us.

年輕人需要既唔係金錢、唔係食物，而係活生生既人願意走出黎支持。
The support from people literally standing side by side with the young protestors means much more than supports in form of money and food.
——-

今日之所以邀請不同光譜、不同年齡層既人士上台，就係為咗向全世界展示出：
The reason that people from a broad spectrum and from different age group are invited today, is to show the world that:

無論香港情況幾嚴峻，香港人都唔會因為政治理念、年齡不同而廢言、割席，無論有幾多風波，我地依然團結為我地既訴求奮勇到底。
No matter how dire the situation is, how different our views and ages are, and how challenging the situation is, HongKongers will stay united.

由今日起，我地唔應該再分勇武同和理非。出得黎既就係手足，係抗爭者，用核彈都唔會割。
From now on, there should be no more classification of aggressive or peaceful protestors. Once we are together on the streets of Hong Kong, we are each other’s brothers and sisters, limbs and body. We are one. Nothing can divide us.

——-

我必須強調大專學界同攬炒都有同樣信念：就係拒絕大台。
I would like to emphasis HK IAD and our team do not condone any one single leading platform for the whole movement

如果有大台出現，我會出全力摧毀佢；假如有一日，我成為大台一部分，請大家一視同仁，將我拉落黎，拆我台。
If such a platform is ever formed, I will do my utmost to demolish it. If I ever become part of such a platform, I ask you to do the same to overthrow me and demolish the platform.

只要拒絕迷信大台模式，唔割席，唔氣餒，善用國際思維，我地一定會贏。
As long as we all believe in the leaderless model, stay united, keep our spirit, and to think global, we shall prevail.

香港人，寧化飛灰，不作浮塵，光復香港，時代革命！
We would rather live freely and burn, then to be subjugated and diminished. We are HongKongers.
“Reclaim Hong Kong. Revolution of our Times”
