"The cult that were kicked out of both the PRC and ROC has a 96% approval of Musk"

This is really not as prestigious as he thinks.

Couldn't find anything about them being banned by the ROC, you have a source?

Yeah, me neither, if anything I found lots of articles on them in Taiwan-based media, including one about a gathering of thousands of members from just a couple of months ago.

Ah well, that's what I thought.

That was my b, when my brother in law said they largely left Taiwan and there were more in the west now than in TW, I assumed there was a crackdown of some sort. Turns out it was just more profitable to be based in the US because Taiwan has a saturated market for "new age" religions.

Wait it's banned in the ROC? LMAO chud cults can't even stay in fascist central

Edit: looks like they're not, makes sense, Falun gong have the full backing of the USA

That's too fascist for them, probably.

That was my bad, I was conflating something my Taiwanese brother-in-law said about how they largely left Taiwan in the 90's. I assumed a crackdown but upon further reading, if was simply better to relocate to the US for funding
