Hey Simone Gao, why was the cult you are a part of setting children on fire in the 90s? Was it because of innovation?

Chinese short documentary

Actually, I was off by a bit: in January 2001, a group of Falun Gong cultists self-immolated in Tiananmen Square, bringing their children with them and setting them on fire, leading to the death of a 12 year old girl. This is who western liberals support.

Omg, they were trying to do like the monk resistance to the crack down on Buddhists in South Vietnam, weren't they? That doesn't seem as great when you make other people do it...

Yeah kinda but unlike Vietnamese Buddhists the Falun Gong is just Chinese scientology
