What would you call Falun Gong? My first impression was Daoist, but it seems they're right wingers. They run the Epoch Times.

@Woodchaz @SrRochardBunson @zdl @SabinaKnight @bryankam @chineseliterature @philosophy I think we should let Falungong categorize themselves, if they're inclined to do so. Putting simplified labels on complex beliefs seldom leads to understanding.

I agree in principle, but when they mass mail out the Epoch Times propaganda newspaper, and my family and friends ask what is up with it I still need a label to continue the conversation.

(This has actually happened, and me thinks that you are associated with the group ) 

Oh, Rio Rancho New Mexico, ay? The same city that had a Falun Gong (Dafa) day in 2007? Coincidence?

I'm just basing my take on their Youtube ads. Seems pretty pro-MAGA to me.
