You’ll find people willing to join any cult if there’s any reasonable chance of victory.

But why a sizable proportion of a milenar culture(should be translated as “wise” in political correct dictionary) went for an European cult?

It was imposed on them by the sword, like communism is everywhere and always.

So, why did they go for a European cult with a red star as a symbol?

Greer Fri, 10 Jun 2016 08:47:37 +0000 http://www.isegoria.net/?p=40380#comment-2476832 He overstates the case. Chinese intellectuals have also cared about how to have a happy and harmonious family, how to find and savor beauty, how to live life right when society has gone astray, how to attain personal enlightenment — and when to leave the world of politics and government behind altogether. That is a theme almost as old as the “good government” one: why you shouldn’t care about government at all and instead should go fishing, or get drunk, or something of that sort.

I think the first ‘democratic’ election was in the early 2000′s in Taiwan. The historical fact is that China’s government has been monarchs, tyrants, kings and dictators for much of it’s history up to today if you include the heavy handed leadership of the Communist party. 10′s of millions were killed in the last century and probably 10′s of million in the preceding 5000 years at the hands of China’s ‘good’ government. Hardly moral.
