    I remember many years ago when I was a young naive lib, I was one day walking down the street in my neighbourhood when an Asian woman handed me a Shen Yun Pamphlet, telling me to check out the show and how it shows “authentic Chinese culture”.

    Me being the naive lib who at the time thought the evil CPC destroyed ‘real’ Chinese culture which orgs like Falun Gong preserved, accepted the pamphlet happily and later on in the day went to visit my Chinese grandmother to tell her about this cool Chinese theatre play.

    She immediately shut me down and told me that Shen Yun is a cult that you shouldn’t trust whatsoever. I didn’t become a communist until years later, but that day taught me to rethink my position on Falun Gong and to not blindly trust reactionary religious organizations.

    Thanks grandma.

      I think you’re underrating how funny their cosmology is. The CCP is harvesting their organs that are superior due to qigong, Heaven is racially segregated so mixed race kids can’t get in, etc.

      I haven’t seen the IRA say anything about breathing in a specific pattern to cure my cancer.

        Heaven is racially segregated so mixed race kids can’t get in, etc.

        Aliens exist and are spiritual entities that invade earth through the bodies of humans born through miscegenation with the intent of destroying the human race. At least that’s what I remembered reading the last time I was researching them

        I might be getting them and the scientologists confused though, but I’m fairly positive I’m not because the Falun danfa cult is hella racist towards mixed-raced people.
