Here's a question: can you even name another Asian cult?

Turns out, a mostly Western construct whose leadership is mostly dominated by the West doesn't understand Eastern culture. No one worth a damn in Eastern countries gives a fuck about what Falun Gong says.

If you want a real human rights violation to be outraged by, look at the Muslim crackdown in China. That has actual, verifiable evidence.

If you want a real human rights violation to be outraged by, look at the Muslim crackdown in China. That has actual, verifiable evidence.

China's "crackdown" isn't specifically anti-Muslim, as proven by the supposed targeting of Uyghurs despite the Hui ethnic group being the largest Muslim majority ethnic group (but this makes sense if we take into context that the Uyghur ethnic group is the largest in Xinjiang (UAR), in which China is performing anti-extremist action due to U.S. supported terrorism (see p. 271 of Paul Williams' Operation Gladio) in the region). This doesn't bode well for your "outrage", but I'd like to see your actual, verifiable evidence of human rights violations nonetheless.
