The Sayings of Confusius: Confusionism for Beginners

By Hermann Observer

Confusius is confused. He is confused about cultural appropriation, for instance. He is also confused about gender fluidity, identity politics, cancel culture, and the diversity cult. Left-wing bullies, Marxist intellectuals, antifa thugs, Black Lives Matter martyrs, Extinction Rebellion rebels and Greta Thunberg activists confuse him too. Postmodern academic deconstructionists confuse him, as do social justice warriors. Sound asleep woke folk confuse him. Our country’s systemic problems that aren’t systemic problems confuse him, just like radical feminism and intersectionality. Microaggression and safe spaces confuse him too, almost as much as the unsolicited political opinions of confused Hollywood celebrities. He also finds phony oppression and victimhood antics confusing. Illegal immigration really confuses him. Progressive platitudes confuse him a lot too, just like leftist vindictiveness in general and political correctness in particular. Boundless globalization, left-wing overreach, liberal domination in academia and education and our extraordinarily biased mainstream media confuse him terribly, although not as much as having to watch how his fellow citizens, confused like himself, allow themselves to be patronized, harassed, exploited, and silenced by all those above. Most confusing of all, however, is The Great Presidential Election Fraud of 2020. That this could have taken place in the United States of America just won’t go into his head. And he is stunned at what followed of course, not confused for once, but genuinely astonished at the jaw-dropping level of confusion the world is now forced to witness in the White House.

Confusionism is the result. Confusionism is the answer. Confusionism is the expression of Confusius’ confusion. It is a valiant attempt, he says, to come to grips with the demoralizing situation we now face. It is a spontaneous reaction to the turmoil that permeates what remains of the civil society we once lived in. Like the conservatism it stems from, confusionism is not a philosophy per se but a reaction to the excesses of left-wing lunacy now poisoning what remains of our society. It is an attempt to illustrate the senselessness of the liberal “anything goes” culture masquerading as the norm in America today. It is a quiet personal rebellion against the status quo of leftist ideological politics. It aims to strike a blow at the moral condescension progressives use against anyone who refuses to be indoctrinated. The assorted observations which make up this book are a plea for reason, you could say, a cry for help but also a cry of hope. The hope that the disregard for fairness, justice, and the rule of law we see all around us can somehow be checked and overcome.

And just who is Confusius, you ask? I am not at liberty to tell you. He insists his identity be kept a secret. All I can say for sure is he is even more emotionally unstable at the moment than he was before the election took place, which is saying a lot. He is obsessed with subjecting complete strangers like yourself to his confusionist views, jokes, and unsolicited advice, spontaneously and repeatedly. I can also tell you that he is not Chinese, even though he pretends to be for some inexplicable reason. His super-dorky and highly inaccurate faux-Chinese-speak is annoying and embarrassing beyond belief but no one can get him to stop. And one last thing I can also tell you is he asked me to pass on his heartfelt wish you will enjoy this book and, with luck, come to share his confusionist confusion. It might just make a difference. He also asks that you never forget there is hope. Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.

Quotes of Note

The Author

The Way of the Dragon: Liberals dragon everybody down who work for living.

Confusius ask, what Joe Biden's favorite food? Fraud chicken. Ha, ha. Small joke for to start.

Confusius ask, is presidential election 2020 turning point? American constitutional republic founded on mutual loyalty of politically opposed groups. Once you must doubt good motives, intentions and honesty of opponent, basis for this cooperation is undermined. What come then?

Confusius say, you may think your mental defenses strong enough to withstand daily barrage of mass suggestion mainstream media bombard you with but their advanced brainwashing techniques more subtle than you think. Can penetrate any opinion given enough time. Stay alert. Don’t be media moron.

Confusius ask, who Joe Biden's favorite superhero? The Man of Steal. That was next joke.

Confusius ask, how can you not blame leftists for mess today? Who else? Postmodernism, identity politics, cultural relativism, radical feminism, and all other lunacy in universities today not come from right-wing wackos, right? The damage academia cause with their pandemic make Corona virus look like runny nose.

Confusius say, to live and struggle in democratic here and now can only appeal to adult side. Restraint required. Utopian illusion like socialism appeal only to infantile side. No restraint needed there. This how leftist get votes.

Confusius ask: With one exception in 132 years, no president ever receive MORE votes in run for reelection and lose. President in question receive 10 MILLION MORE votes in first run and still lose reelection. Who was it?

FDR?

LBJ?

AOC?

Donald Trump?

You know who. Don’t play like dummy.

Confusius ask, which of these puffed up overpriced college majors contribute least to betterment of society while guaranteeing degree holder unproductive occupation in parasitical academic environment? Liberal Arts? Black Studies? Gender Studies? Too hard choose just one. I go with Liberal Black Gender Studies. Bet money that don’t exist?

Confusius ask, when Joe Biden lie in sun what kind of tan he get? A charlatan.

Confusius ask, the science is settled with climate change? Then it not science. Scientific knowledge always provisional (that mean for short time). What true today is refuted tomorrow. Statement like that only mean person who say it lack humility.

Confusius say, Media Brain Police know what sell: Moral outrage, call for justice, equality, diversity, all the rest. This is standard program material made day and night by global mass entertainment industry they part of. These everyday products that bolster customer bonding and ensure profit.

Confusius say, left-wing mind easily succumb to pious utopic fantasies. These always things that have nothing to do with real world. This because left-wing mind deluded. Believe that reason is in control of emotion when other way around. Cannot wish utopia into existence.

Confusius ask, why Joe Biden like being president so much? It's the heist office of the land.

Confusius say, puzzling. Progressives think it praiseworthy to criticize and mock religious beliefs. One big exception, though. You Bad Guy if you criticize and mock just that one. Progressives want to have this faith or they afraid? Which faith? Don’t act like el stupido. You know which one.

Confusius say, watch out for media mind control circularity: Objective journalists make subjective decisions as collective. Then decide how will view something (BLM, for example). Then consciously select, suppress, or manufacture only news items that support preconceived view.

Confusius ask, of 19 counties both Democrats and Republicans call bellwether counties that always go with outcome of presidential election, which candidate won 18 of them and still lose?

Alexander Lukaschenko?

Vladimir Putin?

Nicolás Maduro?

Donald Trump?

Don’t pull
