Copy pasting a fantastic comment from the reddit thread.
I tried to explain to my mom why I don't want to go to Shen Yun with her the next time I visited but she agreed with all their insane ideas about evolution being a lie and science being a communist plot. Luckily she thinks yoga is also sacrilegious so explaining Qigong finally got her to turn on it.
I had to beg a coworker of mine not to go to a Shenyun show. She did anyway and there was apparently a part with happy dancing in a meadow, and then a giant Karl Marx head arises from the background and drenched everything in red. Like the big head from Zardoz or something. And then communist party guys come out and beat everyone with imaginary sticks.
I told her that sounds rad as hell, and she got mad lol. She was like "This is their history! That really happened!" But my coworker was nuts and used to listen to Joel Osteen at work.
Karl Marx really did that.
Karl Marx = Andoss from Star Fox confirmed.
His floating head, shooting out polygons, killed 100,000,000 people at least.
That actually sounds rad and now I really wanna go while on a mild psych trip. But I ain't paying

Bullshit, they weren't even in China for COVID
I can't believe even the Falun Gong have now abandoned over 5000 years of Chinese history
Go and laugh and clap at all the "wrong" parts. Stand up and sing the Internationale when they lift up the Marx head. :sankara-salute:
I remember reading about the giant Marx head, and thinking "that fucking rules". I wish i didn't have to sit through the whole expoitative performance to see giant Marx painting the stage red.
Tell her that if the US ever had the balls to prosecute the Church of Scientology, this is exactly the same kind of whiny bullshit play they'd write about it.
