Definition
愚忠 refers to blind or unreasoning devotion, especially to a ruler, leader, or cause, often to the point of ignoring faults or moral issues. The word carries a critical tone — it implies loyalty without critical judgment, which is typically seen as misguided in modern contexts. It is a noun and is used in discussions of history, politics, and personal relationships.
