    Do people actually go to these kind of things? Like, I’ve seen them and the Falun Gong around a couple of times but no one seems to care about them. But, if you’re on the CIA payroll I guess that doesn’t matter.

      Brace Belden goes 😆
      It seems unknowable to us whether these shows even break even, or whether their propaganda has any real effect toward imperial goals. I have no way of knowing, but I suspect this has become a project that produces nothing, but also costs the spooks very little, so it perpetuates.

      The tickets are like 100-200 dollars lmao. There’s no way it isn’t a tax scheme.

    I had a Shen Yun ”popup workshop” advertisement type shit right outside my apartment for 4 weeks straight when they were coming to my city in Sweden. People handing out flyers 8 hours a day, and posters promising to show ”China before communism”💀

      It really does astound me how prolific they are. They must spend so much money on advertising this stuff. Good thing the CIA’s budget is practically bottomless I guess.

    If you think that’s bad, I had to suffer through a FLG float / marching band in my Christmas parade.

    They literally ruined Christmas for me.

    A better show you can watch if you want to see China just before communism is called ‘Age of Awakening’. I am sure you can find an English sub for it.

    It depicts the famine and poverty stricken masses, already oppressed by the nationalist royals, bourgeoisie and Japanese imperialists. People were selling their children on the streets, serfs and eunuchs.

    When I think about Shen Yun, I think about a wall 🧱
