It isn't. It's at best a subcontinent like India. We just refer to it as its own thing for tradition's sake, and because it's so different from the rest of the continent, like how India is sometimes separated from the rest of Asia for the same reasons.

history reasons
religious reasons
cultural reasons
literally no reasons to be bothered by it outside of contrarianism

Because culture is part of geography. Hurr durr why two continents in America, hurr durr why Greenland not a continent but Australia is and so forth and so on.

Some smartass will surely point out how under capitalism deaths are a misfortune while under communism they are a feature. This will be followed by some moral arguing based on propaganda lies designed to make simpletons bleed for their masters' interests.

Allowing people to make choices that lead to death does not mean you killed them. When you take those choices away and the state commits actions that can be directly linked to human death and suffering, it's fair to blame it on the state.

That's because communistic deaths are caused by ideologues, while the capitalistic deaths mostly are not, or are caused by a wide variety of different ones.

What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence - even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!"
Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus?... Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?

Interesting areas/fields of further study and as someone interested in Asian history I would love to hear thoughts from others.

Does /his/ agree with my definition of the two?

Confucianism
>Focus on superior-inferior relationships. Parents are superior to children. Men to women. Rulers to subjects.
>Conservative. Esteem for ancestors, elderly, the wise, the past, and authority rather than esteem for youth, the present, common people, and innovation.
>Focus on community rather than individualism. Each person has a role they must perform. There's a fixed set of social expectations that each individual should conform to. Expectations are defined by the authority. If everyone performed their role, social order would be sustained.
>Most Confucian principles are only applied to the higher class / the nobles. The common people are not guided by the same moral system, but rather by a system of rewards and punishments.
>A ruler's conduct is important and if the ruler is bad, people won't follow them.

Would Confucius rather say "if a ruler is bad, people SHOULD NOT follow them" rather than "people WILL NOT follow them"?

Philosophical Daoism
>Based around the concept of unity of opposites.
>Moral ideas are really just a reflection of how depraved humans really are.
>The Confucian ideal of propriety is just a reflection of how disorderly the world really is.
>Distinctions between good and bad, and other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptible, not real.

I know one of the major tenets of daoism is wu wei "action by inaction" but I'm having trouble understanding what that actually entails.

Your assesment of confucianism is superb. Given that Confucius created the system mainly to preserve social order, I believe he would lean towards should not, as dissatisfied people leads to instability, so they should replace the current ruler ASAP. I belive this was the whole point of the mandate of heaven.

I know nothing about how daoism works philosophically, but have heard that politically it was a kind of proto-anarchism.

Bohemia here

>City of Kaliningrad is named after one Bohemian king (Köningsberg means "King's city") that led a crusade to that area in 13th century

>There was a religious revolution in Bohemia similar to Protestantism but hundred years earlier
>This revolution actually ended in success and Utraquism became official religion
>Utraquism was basically Protestantism but while still acknowledging Pope

>In their time, the revolution woke such an uproar throughout Europe that even Joane of Arc wrote a letter to revolutionaries, promising to come fight them once she is done with the English

>During Russian revolution, Bohemian legionaries fought against the Reds and before being called off took control of the whole Trans-Siberian railway

No. GOD=7_4 is way, way more important.

In modern human history, maybe.

Funny way to spell the Gospel aka NT of the Bible.
