1 - huh?
2 - huh?
3 - wild. What’s that like, thinking that the only reason to marry is to fuck? Is your professor okay?
4 - where are you that it’s not? Afaik, in most places considered “developed” you can dislike police as much as you please. There may be consequences if you resist their actions but that’s a different issue.
5 - I don’t know if I agree that it’s “market” (because if your neighbour has chickens and you have a cow and you trade your milk for their eggs that’s a market) but the complexity of modern production and global trade. There’s just no way anyone can really understand all the processes so there is necessarily a level of abstraction that alienates you from what is happening at the other end.
6 - duh.
7 - sure lol

I can read at most a few characters here and there on that page so that doesn’t help ^^; What exactly is illegal in Taiwan regarding the police? They can’t read your thoughts so how would they decide whether you have contempt for the police unless you actively antagonise them?

Ah, if you INSULT a police officer, that’s what’s punishable. That’s actively antagonising them, not just not liking them.
Mind you, I don’t think insulting a police officer should hold any more severe punishment than insulting anyone else. So yeah, that’s bullshit.
I’m in Germany, there’s a common myth that “Beamtenbeleidigung”, insulting an official, is a criminal offence. It’s not - if you insult anyone, regardless of their job, they can sue. Police are just more likely to actually go through with that because they have a reputation to uphold.
