>4 thousand years of Confucianism and Taoism then one day European showed up with artillieries and wipe the floor with themreally makes you wonderif Confucius and Laozi were so damn wise, they should have taught Chinese how to make guns and steam engines
> to make guns chinese invented guns
>>217667754Europeans invented proper, efficient use of guns.
Surviving thousands of years as a coherent entity is no small feat.Europeans were extremely powerful but what use is that if they can't maintain it. Many of them will likely be taken over be foreign conquerors within the next hundred years
>>217667739Confucianism is about government systemsTaoism has been a meme from the very beginning.
It wasn't 4000 years of Confucianism and TaoismConfucianism started in the Warring States period and it was the wrong choice, Legalism ought to have succeeded
>>217667772The thing is European civilization(West but also East to an extent) is based upon divide et impera.
>>217667739By living in Taoism you have a good peaceful life.By living in industrial and post-industrial world, you fucking suffer everyday.
>>217669040good peaceful life is when you starve to death 或者類似的東西
>>217669040The logical conclusion of Taoism is to just kill yourself
>>217669137Only the smartest are capable of that.
>>217669137Too much work, rather you have to become an alcoholic neet like li bai
its all the manchu's fault o algo
>>217667739confucianism doesnt save changs from rape and looting from barbarians, its in the chinese sovl to be raped and killed in the tens of millions of barbarians, mongols, manchus, whole of europe uniting to fuck china, and japs, the next is america on the list to rape china
>>217669781impotent rage lmao
>>217669798im just pointing out a historical truth, you're here to say some nonsense to argue since you dont know your own history, anyway the future is america raping china possibly with nukes
>>217667739ming and song were pressured all the time so they had to invent stuff, qing was a military juggernaut from the beginning so when the brits first showed up in the 18th qianlong easily rebuffed them, but when they came back in the 19th the tech was overwhelming, confucius said not to be too prideful, the real lession isn't confucius was stupid, it was that no one listened
>>217667769and now they can't even make them for their own militarizes.
>>217669821*yawn*
>>217669798You know he's right farmer boi
>>217669860They never stopped. They're also expanding drastically for ((((reasons))))
>>217669894*mouth wide opening for big american cock*
>>217670000>>217669798
>>217667739the Song dynasty was the closest a civilization got to industrialization before it actually happened in the UKi think their steel output even matched that of Britain when the Industrial Revolution started unfortunately the Mongols had to come and ruin everything, and the subsequent dynasties favored and isolationist agrarian societyreally makes you think what would the world look like today if it started in China instead of UK
>>217670000Digits don't lie.
>>217667739History will only repeat itself. Rome mogged China, Europeans colonized Asia and the modern White Man will once again conquer Asia through our women's pussies. The true battleground is reproduction.
Europeans lived in a constant state of war for centuries, which drove military research forward, while the Chinese were prosperous and peaceful with the exception of mongol shenanigans and the odd genocide. But they could throw bodies at any military problem and you don't need advanced tactics or tech to slaughter peasants, so their military might didn't advance at the same pace.
>>217670153The Song Dynasty had the rudiments of a constitutional monarchy; it might have transitioned into capitalism, but it wouldn't have invented the steam engine. It was a society with a rather distorted government system because the civil wars that preceded its emergence nearly wiped out the Chinese people. It could have perished much earlier, but the advent of guns and cannons allowed it to survive for another 150 years.
