<![CDATA[What Are ‘Scientology Runs’ and Why Is Gen Z So Obsessed With Them?]]>In case you’re still lost as to what the heck is going on, a Scientology Run is when people film themselves charging into a Church of Scientology building to see how far they can get before being caught and booted out.

both are long reads, but well worth it to just get started in understanding just how fucking vile and criminal scientology is, especially when it comes to getting what it wants.

and thats before you even get into the harassment, blackmail, torture, human rights abuses, kidnapping, robbing members of their life savings and even homes and property, etc, etc, etc.

But maybe a better use of Scientology infiltration tactics would be an investigative piece rather than a viral speed run.

The irony of the journalist writing this and missing that this is their job
