Is Taoism the patrician's choice?

Unrelated but I am currently reading The Republic and Socrates seems to me like a sophist? Like he's not sincere at all? All his opponents present strong, intuitive viewpoints and he just asks unrelated questions and draws analogies that do seem logical but make me feel like it's just not sincere. Like he's just playing the devil's advocate every time?

The biggest and most annoying pseud I've ever known was a self proclaimed taoist who was micro-fucked on lsd all day. Even the most passive people that knew him had a distate for that guy. Fuck him and his bullshit.

I don't care about any brand of Ching Chong Nip Nong theology and you shouldn't too, but alas you are a mutt.

Read the Advaita if you're serious about metaphysics instead.

Taoism, how cute. When you grow up, I'll introduce you to the works of Mr. Shankara.

Daoism is simply the path of the indolent and unvirtuous. Reject fate, reject inaction.

Burn incense and leave fruit for Yu Shuohua the deified fish monger (now Sixth Celestial Minister of the Heavenly Yuan) so that your child will score high on exams and you'll win at gambling.

You can discuss indian philosophy without being deluged in racism, but it always devolves into shankarafags and buddhafags screaming incoherently at each other.

Tao is a hack, like all Chinese "philosophers", who conflate poetic similes and platitudes with meaningful insights. The only Chinese philosopher who was ever worth anything was Mozi, and to no one's surprise he took an interest in Western logic as a result.
