His ideas were complete garbage and are only fitting for controlling vast insect populations, right?

Only spergs and bugmen think China isn't the country of SOUL. Your conceptions regarding Confucianism are pop-philosophy tier. Read Confucius, Mencius, and Zhu Xi.

East Asian and therefore countries in the shpere of confucianism are the definition of soulless societes.

You unironically don't know shit, there is no such thing as a souless society (traditionally speaking, symptoms of modernity are irrelevant regarding this as modernity isn't the result of a certain culture) but China is one of the least souless countries out there.

Nice spastic quote.

Its a peak soulless shithole where children would sell their own mothers for money and recognition from their peers.

Life is not valued in these countries, they live to create value for their slaveholders.
Lying and cheating is so deeply ingrained into society that it is actively encouraged as long as you arent caught.

No he wasn't. Confucius criticised the princes of his day extensively. He advocated harmony not total power like the legalists. Mencius then even concludes evil rulers can be disposed.

I'm sorry anon, but China is too Chinese. Now Taiwan, THAT'S soul! Liberal democracy, LGBTPP+-==/P acceptance, and only a light sprinkling of orientalism to give it some flavoring.

Confucianism is the closest to individuality and freedom in China, which indeed makes them only semi soulless. You have no idea what you are talking about.

At least get the meme views right. China has always been the coonsoon country. At least that's how it was seen from the outside. Read Gobineau's essay on human races.
Of course they had a true communist phase where there was nothing to consume, but no one that has gone to China in the last 20 years will deny it is consumerist to the last degree.
