@Logo_Daedalus I read You Hide, They Seek. Wow. What a powerful testimony. It really breaks my heart that there is so much vitriol being spewed onto people for acting in accordance with Christianity. IMO, one needs some spiritual faith before our minds can accept faith in Mankind.
Watch as the "Far Right Neo Nazi" weeps for the lashings of Chinese landlords during the cultural revolution. "Those BEASTS! Those uncivilized BARBARIANS!" -- only the Chinese Communist strikes fear into these sentimentalists.
The "edgiest" edge lord in the West is someone who looks at school shooters & goes "They were bullied! They were victims of SOCIETY!" etc. They are merely moralists. "Hitler was bullied!" -- moralists.
Moralism taints everything-- even the most "amoral" philosopher, perhaps Aleister Crowley for instance, produces the mindset of "consensual rape" -- contracts for rape, informed thelemic consent for psychic rape, etc.
What's worse about the West is that even the Nietzscheans are moralists here-- a true Nietzschean would respect Nancy Pelosi's gangster hustler grindset, how she humiliates the poor, & magnifies herself etc. But no, these Nietzscheans are mere moralists, rooting for "the underdog"
The "Good Person" is a prideful narcissist who uses his self-judgment as "a good person" to tyrannize over others, by fiat, without any meaningful justification. A saint calls himself a sinner. A "Good Fucking Person" belongs in hell.
"Am I a Good Person?" is a moronic inquiry-- it is to ask "Do I judge myself to be a good person in the way that I judge others?" -- but you aren't the judge, God is, & you won't know his judgment until the End. To ask "Am I productive?" is a scientific inquiry.
It is pure narcissism to concern oneself with "morality" -- "Am I a good person?" asks the narcissist. What one should ask is "Am I productive?" -- this is a concern that is beyond "good & evil" in the moralizing sense.
Chinese philosophy, from its earliest foundations, has never much concerned itself with "morality" as such-- but rather with "good governance" -- which is beyond good & evil. Good Governance requires upholding the Mandate of Heaven even above the "moral sentiments" of a people.
Moralism "feels right" -- but is actually unintuitive & incorrect. A moralist becomes a vegan, which is an asinine sort of behavior. Jesus Christ was not a moralist, which is why he was killed by the moralizing Pharisees. Jesus forgave sin. This is intolerable to moralists.
Most of the "right wing" critiques of "Marxism" are correct simply because "Western Marxists" are petite bourgeois clerks & priests who derive their livelihood from rent-extraction by upholding a pretense to "moral concern" -- the Chinese Communist is not a moralist.
It's good that the Chinese got their hands on Marx, so that they can do the ideas justice, because they have never been a "moralistic" or "moralizing" society-- rather, they've always been metaphysical pragmatists, having created the preconditions for western science in Taoist Alchemy millennia ago.
