    Bruh I live near Charlotte I see these fucking everywhere. EVERYWHERE. There was a stack of pamphlets on a restaurant’s cashier shelf and while they looked away I grabbed all of them and tore them up later. Besides that I don’t even know what to do.

      Probably not. They don’t make enough money from selling tickets to fund all of this advertising. They have some shady money behind them, likely of the NED, CIA, State Department sort, that lets them have all of these ads everywhere despite hardly managing to get anyone to actually go see this nonsense. Meaning there is little incentive to make it good.

        If their operation relies on State Department funding, does that mean it would be praxis to attend their shitshows so these various three-letter agencies keep pouring its funding into that hole instead of doing something actually dangerous and destructive with it?

          I see your logic, but I feel like I’d rather get purged and sent to the countryside* than do this.

          I don’t really think that’s a very smart strategy. The imperialists effectively have unlimited funds for their clandestine operations, they can just print as much money and sell as many drugs as they need. We won’t beat them by trying to drain them of cash. And you have better uses for your time.

      There’s only one way to find out, and I don’t feel like torturing myself.

      A “Hawaii before colonialism” show would be extremely based though. See SilverSpook’s mastodon posts about what was destroyed when the US took them.

      Might be why such a show doesn’t exist under US rule.

    It would be funny if a bunch of us attended these and blasted the Internationale at full volume

      I seem to remember a video (it was on r/genzedong about a year ago) of a Chinese man interrupting a Falun Gong demonstration by loudly singing “Ode to the Motherland”

    I’ve got one right next to wear I live and it’s stuck behind the door of an abandoned storefront so there’s nothing I can do

    Why do I suspect that your “normie” friends are tired of seeing their ads not because it’s a cult, but because it’s Chinese?
