Confusionism 

When an attorney lies and twists facts, engages in gaslighting at every hearing, throws a bunch of manure on the case hoping it will stick into a nice, smelly ball of turd with the purpose of confusing a judge. The result of Confusionism is a high-conflict case where one of the parties becomes homeless and the party who went to jail for abuse keeps their freedom, money, and children for the time-being. Usually overturned on appeal in the Supreme Court.

John Kelleher practices Confusionism!

collusionism 

Living in the State in which you do not know if what you are hearing, seeing or speaking is actually true.

The Nightly News just declared finally that we are living in a world under Collusionism and that there was no need for them to lie to us anymore.

confusionship 

A phenomenon when a couple of interacting people have neither a well defined friendship nor an FWB nor a romantic relationship and thus their attraction is still undefined to them both, yet they're definite about defining it as soon as possible.
The state of confusion before defining your sort of relationship with the person.

We were in a confusionship, but eventually deconfused ourselves and got romantically involved.

Confucianism 

The ethical system of Confucius, the Chinese philosopher and teacher of ethics (551-479 BCE), emphasizing moral order, the humanity and virtue of China's ancient rulers, and gentlemanly education. Confucius was born Kong Zhong-ni, in the shih (knight) class in the state of Lu about 551 BCE. Most biographical information derives from the Analects, which are the collected sayings of the Master. Confucius aspired to governmental office and there is a tradition he was a minister in the government of Lu for a time. Confucius special goal in life was to restore the culture and tradition of China to the ideal set forth in the time of the Duke of Zhou. He saw himself as transmitting ancient tradition, not innovating new ideas. His efforts were not appreciated and he was consistently rebuffed in attempts to gain more important offices he felt were his due. So Confucius turned to education to achieve his goals setting up a school to train disciples in his ideals. Perhaps because of the trials of his youth, Confucius never turned his back on the common man and no pupil, no matter how poor was turned away from the school. Though he had a full life teaching in Lu and seeing his students gain high public office, by his 50s Confucius became irritated at the lack of progress in moral reform and disillusioned by the lack of public moral leadership in the ruling class. He decided to travel to other states and try and educate other rulers and find a way to put his principles into practice.

While he was well received and offered responsible positions in other states, he never found anyone with the moral commitment to restore the Zhou society. After a decade of wandering, Confucius, now nearly 70, returned to Lu. Outwardly, he felt that he had failed, for no ruler adopted his practices and he had not attained a significant office from which to effect change. Nevertheless, his wanderings as the gathered and trained pupils sowed the seeds of future change, as these disciples would fan out across China to carry his message and transform society. The heart of Confucian scripture has always been the Five Classics. As they finally took shape in a later era, these included: The Classic of History (Shujing), recording the words and actions of the sage-rulers from the ancient, prehistoric Yao period to the early Zhou period; The Classic of Poetry (Shijing), some 300 poems mostly from early Zhou times exemplifying moral virtue and poetic beauty; The Classic of Changes (Yinjing), a book of divination with explanations and commentary explaining the patterns of the universe; The Classic of Rites (Lijing) the detailed account of the rituals and ceremonies of the sage-kings and their meaning and significance, plus philosophical teaching; and The Spring and Autumn Annals (Chunqiu) recording events in Lu 722-481 BCE with commentaries. Apparently a sixth classic, the Classic of Music was lost. The Confucianism path of transformation is based on these texts.

Confusimonism 

A body of beliefs and related practices created by the prophet Simon in 2012. Characterized as a religion, Confusimonism teaches that it is permissible and desirable to have multiple partners that fill the varying needs of each individual. Typical relationships may include but are not limited to; baby momma/daddy, girlfriend/boyfriend, sex idiot, roommate, chef/housekeeper, personal assistant. While members may choose to marry, monotony (otherwise known as monogamy) over an extended period of time is a frowned upon practice.

In practicing Confusimonism I’ve found true fulfillment and enlightenment.
