Seems like an op? Just blatant anti-communist propaganda used in their advertising? Some one who knows pls explain :puzzled:
It is run by the Falun Gong cult who, among many other things, believe that race mixing is a plot by evil aliens to destroy souls. I hear that one of their shows features a city being destroyed by a big wave with Karl Marx's face on it, very subtle.
Falun Gong. Probably one of the widest reaching completely wacko cults in the world. The Shen Yun shows are everywhere. They have a newspaper called The Epoch Times too.
People who publish china bad articles in the NYT often have a background with the Epoch Times.
Don Lemon publishing tips on dumpster diving, and how to get involved with the local FNB chapter
Falun Gong/Epoch Times actually has a lot of little subsidiary media outlets that few would know about. Off the top of my head, the YouTube channels Strictly Dumpling and Generation Tech have associations with FLG even though they're a food channel and a Star Wars lore channel respectively.
Strictly dumpling in particular makes more sense when you know they're FLG related because they review Chinese food everywhere EXCEPT CHINA.
Yup, I knew they had a whole lot of branches. But I'm still very surprised to hear about those specific examples. That's fucking wild. We're gonna have some fascinating documentaries about them in the year 2050 or whatever
The way things are going, the documentary will be entitled "Falun Gong, Heros of Kiev"
fuck generation tech, cringelord that goes 'humannity first its not racist' despite the setting hes discussing having many nonhuman people. fuck aliens and droids i guess.
They also make the Vision Times/看中国/Kanzhongguo that has boxes all over town here and it seems... Maybe less awful? I remember seeing a lot of front page stuff celebrating Eileen Gu and seemingly being not openly anti-China. It was weird. Could be completely wrong though. Epoch Times would never fly in this city, maybe this is their "softer" newspaper.
Shen Yun billboards and flyers everywhere though ofc.
It's such a competitive environment, but the Epoch Times might just be the most insane right wing rag.
They are really really into organ harvesting. My first exposure to Falun Gong was a few people who were often holding a few beat up conspiracy signs about alleged organ harvesting. They just hung out in a couple different tourist spots in Boston
They have a big billboard on a highway in Wyoming. I want to go there and see what kind of Guy goes to an anti-communist Chinese traditional ballet in Wyoming.
I wanna see what kind of guy sees a billboard in Wyoming , as far as I'm aware no one lives there
A guy who lives in Colorado but has to go to Cheyenne sometimes. It would just be us at Shen Yun.
A play about how life was better when China had a life expectancy of 35
China is having a million covid deaths a day. Underreporting numbers as usual… Life expectancy will be 35 again I fear
International Reactionary Religious movements often have CIA ties, especially given their fervent anti communism, id be surprised if the CIA didn’t get involved at some point
Yeah what is that 'China before communism' bullshit?
The good ol' days of foot binding and yearly famine.

The Falun Gong apparatus in North America has the most spooked up vibes for an org with no established, identifiable ties to the deep state. But like, c’mon where do they get all this money
Yeah, there is no way in hell FG isn't getting funds from the US

Lib-compatible piece on why they are completely whacko bonkers
Is everything an op? Jfc
Edit: this probably comes across as harsh and for that I apologize. But at some point conspiracy bros think everything is an op. From Hillary Clinton to JFK to the United Nations
I was down with Falun Gong when I was a lib. But honestly they're almost certainly an OP.
Not everything is an op, but the anti-CPC show run by a cult with deep ties to the US government and which is unaccountably very wealthy is almost certainly an op.
The usual reactionary woo: "Once upon a time things were good and perfect. That is no longer the case. Things should become good and perfect again, which can happen after lots of cruelty and murder." :grillman:
we have to ban miscegenation and bring back foot binding, otherwise civilization will collapse!
This is a great explainer, made by an outright anti-communist who still acknowledges that the Falun Gong is bad and bullshit.
reactionary terrorist cult from china, believes in aliens and racially segregated afterlife, funded by the west of course
