'You'll Have to Listen to the Party Anyway, So Why Not Listen from the Start?' — Criticizing the 'Deceptive' Nature of the Four Major Referendum Issues
This article sharply criticizes the four major referendum issues at the time (Nuclear-4, Algae Reef, Ractopamine Pork, Election-day Referendum), arguing the ruling party deceived citizens on these issues. The core argument is that if the final outcome must obey the ruling party's will, then all discussion and demands in the process are meaningless, because 'they're deceiving you.' Specific criticisms include using 'non-nuclear homes' to deceive on stable electricity, using 'algae reefs' to deceive on goodness, using 'Taiwan pork' to deceive on eating ractopamine pork, and using 'referendum will' to deceive on truthfulness.
“You’ll have to listen to the party eventually, so why not listen from the start?”
Because “they’re deceiving you”
From the four major referendums with “no,” they used:
Non-nuclear homes to deceive you into shutting down Nuclear-4 even though electricity would be unstable.
Natural algae reefs to deceive your goodness.
American pork to deceive you into eating Taiwan pork while actually consuming ractopamine.
The referendum will you once demanded—to deceive your sincerity.
They’ve been deceiving you all along.
