羅大佑近日指控政府拉低文化門檻,並點名蔡英文、蕭美琴、陳菊等未婚未育人士,引發批評。蔡英文透過臉書回應,強調她確實沒有自己的孩子,但會用盡全力守護台灣的每一個孩子。想想論壇另刊楊力州文章,批評國民黨市議員與立委使用「蟑螂」、「老鼠」、「要飯的」等仇恨語言羞辱支持民進黨候選人的市民與藝文工作者,並指出蔣萬安市長以「不在現場,所以無法評論」回應質詢。
資深音樂人羅大佑近日指控政府拉低文化門檻、「現在外省人被欺負得夠慘了」,還點名前總統蔡英文、副總統蕭美琴、前監察院長陳菊等人未婚未育,製造對立言論引發批評。蔡英文也兩度透過臉書強調,她確實沒有自己的孩子,但會用盡全力,守護台灣的每一個孩子。蔡英文所創的「想想論壇」,昨另外刊出「當公共語言變成羞辱人民的詞彙」一文,呼籲即使政治立場不同,至少應該保留一件事,那就是對人的尊重。
這篇由紀錄片導演楊力州撰寫的文章,開宗明義即說,當有人開始相信自己所屬群體比較高尚、上流,而另一個群體是下流、不值得平等對待,政治上的歧義就逐漸變成對人的厭惡與仇視。
針對先前有國民黨市議員以「蟑螂」、「老鼠」形容支持民進黨台北市長候選人沈伯洋的市民,甚至說他們是來追殺爭取連任的市長蔣萬安的人時,楊力州憂心這些言論已經超越一般的政治攻防,讓人不安。更令人不安的是,當市議員在議會質詢蔣萬安市長,詢問他如何看待同黨議員使用這類仇恨語言時,蔣萬安以「不在現場,所以無法評論」回應。
楊力州說,歷史留給我們的警告非常清楚,當政治人物開始用害蟲的詞彙稱呼不同立場的人,我們就應該警覺。這裡面可能存在一種群體心理,透過貶低對方,來鞏固自己的群體認同。
此外,楊說,另一個同樣值得討論的現象,是國民黨立委形容藝文工作者是要飯的。這句話後來在社群平台不斷被引用,甚至逐漸成為嘲諷台灣文化及藝術工作者的詞彙。這其實是另一種值得警惕的去主體化與階級污名。
他說,「要飯的」這個稱呼,將原本具有專業、思想、情感與自主性的創作者,簡化成依附權力、等待施捨的群體。這是一種職業污名,也是一種對文化勞動價值的否定。而明顯的是這群政治人物依然讓這些仇恨詞彙持續在社群平台不斷複製,或許他們希望讓羞辱藝文工作者變成一種日常娛樂。
楊力州批評,一群人被貶抑了公民的尊嚴,另一群人被貶抑了專業勞動的價值。這不只是這群國民黨議員、立委羞辱人民的問題,而是我們應該共同思考的公共語言問題。尤其是具有公權力的民選公職人員,更應該了解自己的言論所具有的影響力,若他們依然認為不認同他們的人是「蟑螂」、「老鼠」、「畜生」、「要飯」時,它們將背離人民越來越遠而不自知。

With 14 days to go before the New Taipei City mayoral election, KMT candidate Li Sichuan and DPP candidate Su Qiaohui clashed at yesterday's political statement, and this morning they both started sweeping the streets in convoys in Bali and Tamsui. Li Sichuan called on Su Qiaohui to be calm. Regarding his sister's company "Queshi Intelligent" taking more than 40 million and external doubts, he should directly confront and explain to the public, emphasizing that municipal administration is his 40 years of experience and daily life, and he will definitely fight back against false accusations.

In the countdown to the election, Chiang Wanan's camp launched the "Wan'an Alert" propaganda. The quality was degraded, the logic was broken, and the emotional manipulation may arouse voters' resentment; the campaign required 20 million, but the Party Central Committee refused to pay for it, and the capital chain was broken, causing the event to be blocked; the Beijing Municipal Education Bureau Teachers were asked to pack "2 grams of fragrant pine", igniting the anger of the military, public and education, and the city government's blame-shifting manufacturers undermined credibility; the internal reformists were marginalized, leaving only the extreme hawks. The blue camp lacked the ability to discuss policy and mobilize resources, and the election faced the risk of punitive voting.

The CCP's official media hype that "Taiwanese young people love to watch mainland dramas" is actually a carefully planned cultural united front, trying to superimpose popular film and television consumption with political identity, leading to the fallacy that "watching dramas means yearning for the CCP system." The author calls on the government to strengthen media literacy education, and the people should trust the government, support the national army in building military preparations for war, and protect freedom with democracy and the rule of law.
