A
philosophy from 2,500 years ago that heavily influenced East Asian culture.
Unfortunately, it is extremely outdated and advocates blind obedience, a form of social slavery, and creates toxicity to the nth degree. People use this
philosophy to justify child abuse and psychological torment.
Confucianism promotes the stratification of society into different castes, forcing them to know their place in society and be slaves to the higher-ups, even if the higher-ups are
wrong. Also, promotes extreme conservatism.
Basically, the kids are owned by the mother, who is then owned by the
father, who is then owned by his superior, and they have to act like slaves according to their place in the caste. Not to mention it creates tons of paranoia if the person does something that's perceived as stepping out of line.
