Dear @logiczombie !
Taoism advocated for real-world politics without kings, but in reality, kings always dominated Taoism.
So, I think Taoism is a fraudulent scheme that deceives the masses to gain profit!
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
ok, your perspective is interesting
i've never thought of tao te ching as a scam
Taoist thought and literature are interesting and excellent. However, Taoist political and state ideology was practically impossible!
So, Many East Asian scholars adopted the political and national ideologies of the United States and Europe.
i've heard south korea is facing population collapse - - do you have any comments on that hypothesis ?
Yeah, It is correct!
Overlords are promoting to the public that reducing the population is necessary to maintain a standard of living and income comparable to that of developed nations.
Consequently, the number of young people giving up on marriage and childbirth is increasing.
Overlords are replacing the population decline with cheap immigrant slaves from abroad.
If the Overlords discover that I said this to you, I could face criminal punishment!
If people of low status like me reveal the secrets of Overlords to foreigners like you, especially Americans, we will face criminal punishment.
So, people in my country avoid talking to foreigners.
I have already received criminal punishment in the past.
Defamation
wow.
the story i've heard is that women and men are becoming increasingly aggressive and distrustful of each other and that is leading to population collapse.
i've also heard that the political environment is becoming increasingly polarized by gender, with one political party appealing more to men and the other to women, stoking a culture war.
Yeah, you are right!
Overlords argued that population reduction was absolutely necessary to achieve the status and income of advanced nations. That is why they are implementing such irrational and foolish policies.
