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.

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

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.
