However the Falun Gong may have been persecuted first for their popularization of ancient traditional knowledge, and in response became the free speech/anti-communist voices they are now.

Well now isn't that very interesting. Hitler was doing the same thing trying to restore pride in ancient history with Aryans (this is actually a word for Ancient Iran, not white supremacists) and the swastika (which is an ancient symbol that spanned the Earth). Opponents of Hitler have framed this as him just knowing how to unify people for his own end, but I am not so sure.

Much like with Christianity, I think we are missing some crucial details about Nazi Germany.

Lao Zhu was a cool dude.
