Citing Falun Gong for anything is like citing Scientology for anything. In fact, Scientology is probably more legitimately useful to society.

FWIW Falun Gong advocates for supporting Trump and is anti-vaccine.

Wait, I feel like I missed something here. You surely don't meant just because falun gong is a cult it justifies the all those killing and organ harvesting?

You're missing the point. It's made up by Falun Gong. Because a core component of their uhh... Recruitment... Is making up myths like this that make it look like the Chinese government confirms that following Falun Gong makes you healthier because they want to harvest their healthy healthy top grade organs.

The killing and organ harvesting that Falun Gong claims to have happened? QAnon claims that Trump prevented a coup from Obama and Clinton and fought a cabal of pedophiles.

Cults are built on lies. Why would you trust anything a cult says? They lie about everything.

QAnon didn't receive attention from the UN though, so falun gong case carry more weight.

If you say falun gong organ harvesting didn't happen, why don't you (or other people in this thread that keep denying it) provide any source to prove your point instead of downvoting?

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 say falun gong organ harvesting didn’t happen, why don’t you (or other people in this thread that keep denying it) provide any source to prove your point instead of downvoting?

How do you expect someone to prove a negative? What sort of evidence would you like that proves that something didn't happen?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Same way like people accused of murder and organ harvesting defending themselves. Prove that those people are still alive, autopsy proof that the deceased still have their organ intact, etc. Am I supposed to just take your word as truth without asking for proof? That would make just as bad as antivaxers or climate change deniers.

You want someone to... prove a negative? I bet you also believe in God, huh?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All I ask is a reputable source that say all those horrible stuff didn't happen and so far none of you provides one except for downvotes.

Would you also like a reputable source claiming God doesn't exist?
