  • A year or two ago, I saw posters for them for months. I had no idea who they were, I was just excited that some form of “art” was coming to my town, which otherwise was constantly skipped by other shows. My liberal ass didn’t think twice about the tagline “China Before Communism”.

    I went all dressed up with family and had a somewhat good experience, punctuated by very strange religious overtones and overt anti-Chinese Govt messages. Once the “Athiesm and evolution are a sin” song and dance rolled out, my experience soured. Ashamedly, I bought their political persecution message because I had the “China bad” brainworms.

    I thought the experience was weird enough to do five minutes of research. I found that the show was a PR campaign by the Falong Gong cult. I wish I had done even the slightest bit of research before I gave them money.


  • The government giving out money to people so that they could stay housed/fed did not cause record inflation. The capitalists massively hiked prices, then said that inflation made them do it. They then declared record profits afterwards. Capitalists scooped up all that money with ease. They then did their little song and dance of, “We’re all in this together. We’re just widdle beans trying to survive like you.”

    If the government doing stuff for people over a 2 year period causes massive amounts of inflation, wouldn’t decades of handouts to capitalists cause record hyper-inflation? Inflation doesn’t happen because the government does stuff. Inflation happens because capitalists will pounce on any opportunity to eek more money out of you, then blame you for having too much money.
