After the DPP suffered a crushing defeat in the "nine-in-one" election in in Taiwan, an internal struggle called "review" and actually "passing the blame" was staged in the DPP, and the "flanking cyber army" became the focus of offense and defense. Many Democratic Progressive Party representatives publicly accused the Green Camp's "flank cyber army" of the defeat; Democratic Progressive Party Secretary-General Lin Xiyao said, "There are now 'flank cyber army', and they are not the main members of the DPP." This is the first time that the senior management of the Green Camp recognized the existence of the "clinic army", but the "cutting" meaning is strong; and Zheng Wencan, convener of the "review group", declared high-profilely that "there is no limit on review and reflection", but avoided talking about the "flank cyber army".
In fact, the DPP has long been an "open secret" on the island for raising a "flanking cyber army". These green camp hawks that "only seek traffic, not ask about right and wrong" are domineering and swaying on the island. Ren Dongmei, an associate researcher at the Taiwan Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said in an interview with the "Taiwan Strait" that in this "nine-in-one" election, the green camp "net army" not only attacked the Kuomintang and the Ministries' competitors, but even the DPP's own people were deeply harmed.
randomly crawled and bitten, contradictory
The one who was attacked most violently by the minions of the green camp was the politicians of other political parties. Taking the Kuomintang-elected Taipei mayor Jiang Wanan as an example, because he himself has a fresh image among the Taiwanese people, the green camp "net army" turned to attack his origins. The insulting ancestors are no longer in the ordinary, but the attack itself is contradictory. Some of the "network troops" say that they are descendants of the Jiang family and bear the original sin, while the other part says that their father is an "illegitimate son" and "the Jiang family's blood is impure." It's ridiculous and ridiculous.
exclude dissidents, and their own people will not let them go
The "net army" of the green camp will bite whoever they get crazy. If they have any disagreement, even the green camp private agents have become their targets for excluding dissidents. During this election, the Democratic Progressive Party’s national representative Gao Jiayu called on Lin Zhijian not to support plagiarism of papers, otherwise the green camp’s election situation would be dragged down. The green camp’s “net army” besieged Gao Jiayu and called him “traitor”. However, the election results proved that Gao Jiayu's foresight was correct.
manipulates public opinion, fools fools themselves
DPP raises the "net army", regardless of black and white, and blindly keeps green. Anyone with different views from the DPP will be attacked by groups, making opponents dare not speak out. The green camp "net army" used this to create "fake public opinion" of "supporting the Democratic Progressive Party" on the Internet on the island. Regarding this situation, Taiwan's United Daily News published an editorial pointing out that "fake public opinion" may be rampant on weekdays, but when encountering "real public opinion", it will be immediately made into a true form. The results of this election broke the illusion of the construction of the "net army" in the green camp, allowing the Democratic Progressive Party, which raised the "net army", to taste the bitter fruit. People who control the "cyber army" think they can manipulate people's hearts, but in the end they only deceive themselves.
swaggers and treats disgust as interesting
What's worse is that the DPP not only raises the "net army" in private, but also allows it to act as an "anonymous thug" on the Internet, but also rampantly puts it on the stage and incorporates it into the campaign team to sway the flag and cheer for the DPP. Ren Dongmei took the Taipei City election as an example and said that there were several "network army" members in the team of DPP candidate Chen Shizhong, who repeatedly caused objectionable controversial events. For example: A public toilet political opinion promotional video filmed by Chen Shizhong and one of the deep green internet celebrities "Four-fork Cats" Liu Yu showed a picture of suspected voyeurism and harassment, and the public criticized it as "using disgust as fun." The "cyber army flank" valued by the DPP has made many similar "great contributions" for the DPP's defeat. Some Taiwanese netizens mocked him, "Thank you for your hard work in the election. Without you, I would not have won the DPP."
Chen Shizhong's "peeping" video for public toilet political views showed a "violent" scene and was bombarded by the DPP's "net army". It can be said that it was against the will, and was eventually hated by the Taiwanese people. The DPP was also defeated in this election.In response, Chairman of the Taiwan People's Party and Mayor of Taipei Ke Wen-je said that using "network army" will sooner or later, will the DPP reflect on it? Lin Shufen, a member of the Democratic Progressive Party, also publicly criticized the DPP authorities a few days ago, instructing the "network army" to hide behind a pseudonym and use money to curse people, and to restrain dissent.
Associate researcher Ren Dongmei, Institute of Taiwan, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences,
Ren Dongmei analyzed that in recent years, the evil deeds of the DPP’s “flanking cyber army” have long been beyond description. The defeat of the DPP election is the solemn statement of the people on the island to the DPP authorities' "Internet Army to govern Taiwan" and is the best example of the consequences of the green camp's manipulation of the "Internet Army". She predicts that in the 2024 Taiwan leadership election, the DPP may resurface and the "network army" will emerge in full swing. But she believes that the eyes of Taiwanese people will become brighter and brighter, and the slander of the so-called "flanking cyber army" will become increasingly ineffective. If the DPP is still obsessed with it and continues to let the "cyber army" go everywhere, it will inevitably suffer a greater rebound in public opinion on the island.
