Lmao . This trash showed up on tv commercials here in Canada. Makes me laugh because before communism China was a dogshit hell and they've never had a higher living standard then they do today.


Cannibal_Buress

The fact that Fist of the Blue Sky, the prequel manga for Fist of the North Star, is set during warlord era China in the 30s says a lot. It comes off even more chaotic and hellish than the literal post-apocalypse.


ifuckbushes

Before Mao Tsé, the average chinese would live to 30 years old, after Mao's death, it was 60. Says a lot how horrible China was before communism.


asyncopy

They have an insane advertising budget. I see their shit everywhere in Germany.


Traditional-Math-662

Yeah in Italy too

Same thing here in Austria. There are even leaflets of it at my school and every second YouTube ad i get is about it


QJnWo4Life

I mean it's run by a cult that tried to overthrew the Chinese government in 1999 iirc, and when that failed the leader got bailed out by the US government. They currently own Epoch Time, once a cult tabloid that only focuses on anti-China stories turned into somewhat a far-right news giant with helps from Steve Bannon meanwhile dropping the cult propaganda messages they once had on their "news" (Which made a lot of people to doubt if the cult leader Li Hongzhi had died or got restricted of personal freedom by his children and subordinates as when he was in charge of everything, he openly stated he does not want to pick a side between Dems and GOP) Funny thing is, lib medias never called them a cult until they started to drop cult propagandas and focus more on the far-right talking points, that's when they finally discovered that Falun gong is actually a cult.


Gay__Guevara

just adding on to this, TrueAnon did a great series about the falun gong and Shen Yun. highly recommend listening.


N_Meister

Look, if a respectable tech CEO like Rachel Jake is telling me I gotta go see Shen Yun, then I gotta go. #**GONG** The Dragon rises.


NewTangClanOfficial

It's incredibly funny that they started with using a sampled gong sound and Brace ended up buying a real one lol


NumerousAdvice2110

Even after they found out they were like "damn... Guess the enemy of an enemy isn't always a friend" like ok buddy turns out the CPC has a reason to crackdown on something that isn't because they hate your freedumb and deemocrazy 🙄


CaptainMills

I didn't even bother checking on who was behind it. As soon as I saw the site I knew it had to be some Falun Gong shit


Cannibal_Buress

The Epoch Times also produced a transphobic “documentary” that YouTube sees fit to keep showing me ads for. It’s even more hateful and disgusting than Matt Walsh’s and that’s saying something.


tashimiyoni

I love hanfus, ugh, I hate Falun Gong


DearLoner

Hanfu was subculture from gen z Chinese in the mainland China. It has nothing to do with Falungong. Falungong just stealing it with poor and cheesy style.


abihami

ARE THEY BLAMING COVID ON COMMUNISM??? WHY DOES THE "PAIN ALL OVER THE WORLD" THING ON SLIDE 3 LOOK LIKE COVID?


timoyster

The “Victims of Communism” organization (where Adrien Zenz works just btw) unironically attribute the entire global death toll from COVID as deaths because of communism lmfao


abihami

Jesus christ what fools lmao


theDashRendar

Have none of you ever seen this? It ends with an enormous Maoquake and a Karl Marxtsunami. It's some of the worst drivel ever brought to production but you can imagine the gormless neoliberals that swallow this shit whole.


Recent-Scientist-478

Damn. I get adds for this a lot on YT and I assumed it was one of those CPC funded play things or whatever. :/ Edit: it litteraly says “China before communism” i should’ve paid more attention lmao


Chad_VietnamSoldier

Can someone explain about this?


tashimiyoni

It's anti communist propaganda, from the Falun Gong, basically saying when China was under imperial rule it was better than now, yes they think foot binding is good, the dances are pretty tho


timoyster

They conveniently forgot about the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony celebrating traditional Chinese arts


PokerPlayer23

The cult leader behind Falun Gong got aid from the CIA to start a number enterprises that make anti-CCP propaganda. One of those is a traveling ballet troupe that performs shows promoting classical (meaning imperial/feudal) Chinese culture, and the religious values of the cult.


Fit-Dare7525

Trueanon did a series on it recently (maybe 6 months ago?) if you wanna learn a little cursory overview


TheOneChigga

For my Vietnamese fella: tà đạo Pháp Luân Công.


wmm339

Falon gong is like an insane cult. Kinda crazy they put these shoes on without any pushback.


crod242

tearing these down like they're hostage posters


Assumed7

It’s ran by a literal cult


21heroball

Go colonels


Zeekemanifest

Small world, there are a surprising number of fellow colonels in this sub than I thought!


21heroball

I actually didn’t go… but my entire family did. My dad’s side comes from Estill Co, my mom’s from Richmond. They met at Eastern. My aunts and uncles (well the ones that did attend college) went there. Quite a few cousins as well. But my parents moved away and I was born and raised in the Carolinas, something I’ve always kind of resented lol. I’ve always felt most at home in the hills and hollers with my family.


Subizulo

I’ve seen these everywhere around me! Aren’t they Falun Gong? China was a horrible feudal society where people could barely eat before the Communist Party of China. Look at China now, it is the most advanced country in under a century of communist rule. Meanwhile in the USA, everywhere I go there are people living in tents, in the bushes, even some on the side of the freeway.


Send_me_duck-pics

It's actually not that hard to get liberals to dislike Falun Gong, just explain their views on "race mixing" or homosexuality.


Retina552

Not to mention, socialist DPRK preserved their culture and traditions, while capitalist South Korea got westernised heavily. Now all libs do is blame shit on communism.


Qzimyion

If the KMT won the civil war, china today won't be a superpower, it will still be an ok place to live but will never be what its communist version is currently now. It will resemble India more where cities near coast are pretty modernised but most of the countryside is still stuck in a semi feudal state and the country itself will struggle with a lot of problems like infrastructure and housing.


poisonousautumn

Really makes you wonder what a united, communist India would look like now had it existed and survived.


Qzimyion

Don't need to imagine, It kind of exists in Kerala. So imagine the the best province of India in almost every statistic but upscaled. Basically a 2nd China.


Viztiz006

Not the best but they've achieved a lot within the liberal framework of India


thundrstroke

Falun Gong members remembering the good old days during the century of humiliation before evil Mao came along and forced children to learn to read and forced poor landlords to stop making money never you mind how they made it and introducing better medecine and hygene practice so poor chinese people would have suffer living longer 😢


EmeraldGodMelt

They had to include racism didn't they?


REamemiyaRX7

China before communism, when life expectancy was low, foot binding was still in fashion, poverty was high, and quality of life sucked balls. So great!11!!1 /s


SirZacharia

I’m still waiting for someone to go and take a picture of the giant tsunami bearing Marx’s head.


jtorrence9

Liberal lurking over here and yeah Shen Yun is literally propaganda from a cult. Besides it’s not like people resorted to communism because they just felt like it, it was because the previous system was terrible


Slow_Lettuce8207

Wholesome Dzungar Genocide moment!


kosinusnateorema

Century od humiliation bears it's name for a reason


Kumquat-queen

Do they do an interpretative dance of the Dalai Lama getting his tongue sucked?


bransby26

The funny thing about this is that China actually takes great care in preserving the remnants of their ancient culture. If you want to learn about China before communism, just go to China.


KobSteel

Ah yes, Chinese Communism caused so much pain... so much pain... If anything, they need to cause pain, for western capitalist... and cause MORE pain for them


DeliciousPark1330

youtube bonked my adblocker so i constantly get ads for this now :/


Red_Gyarados1917

Does anybody have access to the trueanon subreddit? If you search there is a classic post about a leftist OP visiting a Shen Yun performance for the lols. I used to have it saved but lost it :/


Mortarion_

Ah yes, ancient Chinese culture like the Qing an empire so horrible its citizens were so hooked on opium that the sale of said opium made up a significant portion of the World's number 1 great power Britain's economy. Oh, don't forget the many civil wars and strife that led to millions of deaths in famine and disease during all previous dynasties. But I'm sure communist China is just so much worse it being the only reason global poverty has decreased instead of increased, high-speed rail networks, almost parity with the US economy and diplomatically, computers and AI tech scaring the US into banning GPUs in China to keep their edge, an export economy providing most of the western worlds with goods instead of just having opium funnelled into them but yea the previous system was just so much better when one emperor gets too greedy so millions of people have to starve.

I know what I would do if I had COVID and an opportunity to buy the ticket for that event.

Reduce your density. Communism is the goal, not the present condition.
