为什么不是SM呢？父母对待子女的态度不像施虐狂？言语羞辱、贬低、身体虐待？用虐待来表示自己的爱。子女对待父母又爱又恨又离不开，有几个意识到是不健康的关系？能断绝一切往来？要是顺着他的话批评他的父母，肯定又会指责你，我爹妈还是很好的，他们也不容易。等到有了自己的孩子又重复以上的循环。怎么不是SM？

没办法，家国主义这就是纯粹的Brainwash，因为只有接受了这个前提，中国才能用类比父母子女关系和政府公民的方式混淆中国人的大脑，让中国人认为无条件支持政府是天经地义的行为。

之后中国政府无论说什么，公民都没有理由不接受了，因为接受政府的洗脑在中国人眼中和接受父母教导没有区别，中国政府以此才能顺利推行系统洗脑的行为。

The attitude towards superiors in the workplace is not influenced by filial piety. Rather, it is an extension of the philosophy behind filial piety. Filial piety has two central premise. One, that parents are inherently morally good in nature. Two, children owe everything to their parents. The combination of the two pillars resulted in the core ethics of absolute obedience in a family unit.

This philosophy is then applied to all aspects of life. Chinese people organise their society in a similar structure, where their value family/friends/acquaintances over meritocracy of individuals. They run their businesses like they run their family, and the government run the state like it’s their family property as well. The reason is very simple. Such philosophy demands absolute obedience, and will grant the most power to the superior. By assuming that the superior is always morally just, any disobedience must therefore be unjust. By assuming that the subordinates always owe the superiors everything they have, the superiors can rightfully revoke/deprive everything that the subordinates have. In other words, this social structure is the logical end-point of everyone in a position of power demand their subordinates to obey with no hesitation, where obedience is the ultimate virtue.

It’s not that filial piety influence how Chinese behave. Filial piety is simply a symptom of the Chinese philosophy - authoritative collectivism (hierarchical slavery).
