its cringeworthy to see westerners practicing it

from what i know it boomed in the americas with the hippie movement

why is it cringey for themt o practice ... just curious

@Sorghagtani Beki some people in Soviet Union believed in communism instead of learning about it, went to see Lenin in 5 hours line, charged water with good wibes from TV.

because it's an ethnic religion - chinese think americans are fedoras

when they do it

In atheist country

its ethnic ? how so i dont know religion

more importantly, they practice it to look cool often

it's not a religion, it's a philosophy

ok but why is it ethnic

because it's seen as a unique chinese thing

like pandas

but what makes its practice ethnic, are you basically whining about cultural appropriation at this point

but justifying it cause cringey etc, i used word ethnic

yes it's hilarious watching whiteboy pretend to be a genuine daoist scholar

like for example, Rastafarianism is like litterally ethnic

like but what about its teachings are ethnic

daoism? no, confucianism - yes

i don't like daoism

@Deleted User most American teach me about communism and the history of USSR if they have a chance. They know so much.

it's a very valid belief but

(sarcasm)

it doesn't fit me

@ghosty, it's exactly like what firefly just said

so you cant explain its teachings that are ethnic <.<

like you are talking about loud mouths, but you said originally "ethnic religion" then you said "no its a philosophy"

like you said the teaching itself was ethnic

there are posers for any human activity

because you originally called it a religion or treated it like thay

i could have said ethnic philosophy

no i came in after that and asked that que

People who spend 2 hours studying about something teach people who spent whole life on it. Such an American thing to do. Anglos do it too.

@Sorghagtani Beki California

but those are just douche bags....

and in either case, it's pathetic because americans who practice it have no identity of their own. so they appropriate it. i don't dislike it, it's just funny. the chinese want confucianism and its opposing sects to mostly remain chinese.

oh so you are just doing the sjw cultural appropriation whinning but making it chan appropriate by pointing out its cringey

and whinning about americans

oh yes im whining

definitely

ok just wanted to get it clear
