>>74117525

>>74117193
>made civilization

China
>You are not alone,do your part in society, and society will look after you

Western
>lol nope, everyone is for his own, I invented medicine for myself, now go pick your own berries

Meanwhile reality is that our societies work the other way around.

I'm all for collectivism and order and shit but Confucianism seems a little too cucked for my liking.

>>74121372
Confucius knew most leaders can't have virtue.
So you need to scare them, so they act in a virtuous manner.
It's an optimistic philosophy that assumes there could be enough people fit for their positions.

Chinese culture was destroyed by command capitalism, and the explosion of material culture there.
I'm a capitalist, but even I have to admit that they go way too far with their selfish tendencies now days. It's all about who has the best car, or the biggest house.

We're one of the most capitalistic nations in the world. And here bragging and showing off is frowned upon.

I can tell if Hu felt more patronized or confused by the infamous Bama Bow.

>>74121533
That's fine. You can be capitalistic and still maintain a respectful culture. I'm just saying that any culture of mutual respect died in China years ago, and it was likely a result of the explosive material culture.

>>74121551
*cannot

>>74121560
It's more likely the result of communism. And the extreme terror for everyone who stood out. Because you also see it in Russia.

>>74121351
that's only because the Chinese aren't Confucian, they are more Westernized than the West.

>>74121310
>You are not alone,do your part in society, and society will look after you
that's socialistic/communistic view

>>74121310
More like:

China
>Let's all pretend we are looking after each other and use that as a pretext to rob and cheat each other and sell poisonous food

West
>We don't give a fuck about each other but at least we're sincere

>>74123337
>implying we are not two-faced as well

>>74123337
This is more like it.
