Huh, I see ads and banners and signs all the time. I guess I should have guessed the only non-governmental propaganda machines that big are religious cults.

Don't forget that Falun Gong, the religious cult behind Shen-Yun, also bankrolls the Epoch Times.

There was a time when I wanted to see that show. I didn't know it was backed by Falun Gong and considered complete propoganda until I saw the Half As Interesting video on YouTube about it. I never did see it but it's sad to say they dump loads of money into marketing that live show and the marketing works.

I didn't find out until after I had gone to see it. I thought it was just ballet, but they had some WEIRD segments like the opera about atheism or the organ harvesting dance number.

Performing when injured? Sounds like any performing group. Athletes, musicians, etc.
