Taoism Fail

Taoism is a philosophy that people have made into a fullblown religion. It's a simple philosophy: There is no evil, because everything is a natural part of life. Taoism is founded upon a renounciation of the teachings of Confucious, who invented virtues and sins after his own whims. Taoism is ethical anarchy.

It seems easy to understand as a concept. The founder of taoism, Lao Tzu, wasn't a holy man. He was a simple librarian who was fed up with working for Confucius. One would think that at least a handful of people would understand what Lao Tzu was saying.

Nope.
Todays taoism is about reading his book, interpreting its phrases, wondering what they mean, and thinking it's all very mystical and wonderous. "Don't be a faggot." is some sort of ultimate wisdom from a grand sage, that people can only hope to get a glimpse of.

This may seem funny enough, but to really understand the bizarre, we have to look at taoism online.
4chan is a pretty taoist forum already where everything that is allowed to be permitted, is permitted.
However, official taoist forums, are not taoist forums. Quite the opposite.
Besides the general forum PC rules that every forum has copied and pasted from eachother, every post also has to be nice, popular and express a politically correct view. These are forums that would permaban Lao Tzu himself for "promoting immorality". In the end everyone has to basically already agree with eachother, which runs contrary to spiritual progress within taoism. With discussing the validity of immoral views banned, the activities are confined to quoting the Tao Te Ching, screwing around, and small-talking: Drivel.

Taoist forums have actually managed to become evil even in the taoist sense: These forums let you hang around doing nothing but "participating in the community" (fuck all) - that is until you show signs of violence or immorality. Then you effectively graduate from the site without discourse. The effect is that all these forums churn out into society, is people who only want to hurt other people. It's a sort of one-sided corruption not different from any other kind of fanaticism in religion: They want to create soldiers.

You expect normal forums to behave in this way, because normal forums don't understand the taoist perspective. Once you actually understand the slightest bit of taoism, you understand the consequences, yet the taoist forums still pull this stunt, using propaganda phrasings to make it look legit.

Here's an example:

"We will let you swim in the sea of relativism, until you show signs of violence or inciting violence. Then we let you lose upon the outside world, to burn and pillage in the name of Taoist Jihad.
