Your personal opinion of Confucianism bears no resemblance to the world's understanding and academic description of historical Confucianism.
Frankly it makes you look like an overly emotional retard.
Stick to the facts. You are talking about Communism specifically and ideologies in general.
Zionism is another great example of an ideology that leads to cult-like behavior.
🤣 agreed.
Debian is like falling off a log.
However, I think the reason it gets a scary rep for noobs is because the download options for install media is horrible and the UX is 1990's nerdcore.
Compare this monstrosity:

> Confucianism always creates religious cults
No it doesn't. Show me the evidence. If you cannot find it in China's history then it fails that test. Same for Japan which was stable for 1000 years under Confucianism with no cults to speak of.
> Feminism is a religious cult
No, it's an ideological cult. Not a religion.
You have created a false syllogism with false premises leading to a false conclusion.
Communism leads to cults, hence NK.
@shortstories @teratology @DoubleD
Objectively you are wrong. So wrong. Holding territorial, cultural and poltical integrity for over 2000 years is an achievement and a historical fact when it comes to China.
Sure, they had internal conflicts and warring factions over all dynasties, but it was a remarkably coherent and stable form of governance.
@shortstories @teratology @DoubleD
So what?
You don't seem to understand that I'm not advocating for Confucianism.
> Confucianism lacks a coherent moral system based on the consequences of actions
Again, so what? Confucianism isn't a consequentialist religion. What it does have is virtue ethics and a very clear set of moral principles based on duty - filial piety, loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, propriety.
I fail to see your point.
@shortstories @teratology @DoubleD
And?
My or your disaproval or distaste for life under Confucian rule doesn't change the historical facts.
@shortstories @teratology @DoubleD
Not even close. The Chinese Empire would like a word.
Literally no other culture has held longer cultural, political, and territorial continuity for over 2,000 years than the Chinese under Confucianism.
Confucianism has historically proved itself to be incredibly stable and very very patriarchal.
So few people are actually clued into this, that the Ukraine war is little more than genocidal revenge from hate-filled Khazar elites in Western deep states.
Most normiefags think that's just a craaaaazy conspiracy theory.
Agreed.
I recently read Hagakure, the biography of one of the last Samurai. Totally fascinating.
That whole Bushido creed along with an understanding of Shinto makes consuming Japanese culture (film, books, anime) way easier and way more enjoyable.

SK's a irredeemable shitshow. They've lost an entire generation, perhaps 2, to radical feminism.
When it's all played out, SK are going to be the textbook lesson to all nations on the destructive force of feminism.
If this damning statistic doesn't put the final nail in the coffin of marriage in the West I don't know what to tell you.
Yeah, Better Bachelor covered this recently and I was just as surprised as he was to be honest, proving that data rules.
We all swallowed the line that OF clients were mostly low-income low-achieving black pilled zoomers, when in fact they're blue-pilled blue-balled fathers trapped in marriages with dead bedrooms.
It kinda makes sense since it allows those without the money or inclination to divorce, cheat or use escorts an outlet for their frustration.
Really fucking sad.

It's definitely taboo today, but that doesn't mean it culturally disappears right away, it just turns it into a kink.
You can see this in the tons of brother-sister anime plots and all the mother-son hentai. It's still there.
I don't think you'll find any culture on earth that didn't practise polygyny.
Apparently incest also used to be very commononly practised in Japan, even up until WW2. There were no moral prohibtions against parental, sibling, cousin, aunt/uncle sex or marriage, and it wasn't until genetic science really proved how dysgenic incest was that it got outlawed.
I've been on a dive into Shintoism and once you understand what it is, it answers many many questions about Japanese culture, anime plots and their attitude to things like this.
Since Shinto is animist, they believe spirits - kami - exist in everything from animals, plants & people to inanimate objects like mountains or roombas.
As they say, Japanese people are born Shinto, marry Christian, and die Buddhist.
I find Shinto to be a really unique and fascinating religion.
I think that's probably correct, it's what I was thinking too. The US figures are likely distorted by obesity figures.
Gotta hand it to the Irish, they are a bunch of funny fucks.
