      The fact that a group that even exists like that is bizarre and it’s even more ridiculous that anything they say is given any sort of credence. Redditors will jerk themselves off about how dumb Scientologists, Qanoners, MAGAS and anti-vaxxers are but when there’s a group that intersects all four, they’ll believe them because China bad

        That cult puts on a ballet every year (or the years when there weren't pandemics) and literally nowhere is it advertised it's run by a weird cult. It's advertised as a celebration of "traditional Chinese culture" except the one my friend went to had moments where a screen had stuff projected on it like "Darwin was a liar" and "Atheism is a disease." One year they apparently had a little scene of presumably pre-revolution China represented by dancers in a meadow, then the sky slowly turns red and Karl Marx's face appears and all the dancers then run in fear. It's absolutely wild and they keep doing it every year with the same advertising slogans and absolutely no one around here has yet caught on that it's weird propaganda by a weird cult.

            All around the USA as far as I know. They have a website. Cruising around the website now and they actually do mention Falun Gong stuff in the FAQ in no less than reverent terms.
