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. It’s a notoriously secretive religion, so it turns the whole place into an action-movie set piece where the protagonist is trying to infiltrate a compound while fending off its legion of foot soldiers, clad in terrifying white button-ups with black vests.
What are 'Scientology Runs' and Why is Gen Z So Self-Obsessed With Them? FTFY

More like “I am obsessed with GenZ doing this”

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

and its not a religion.
It only has tax exempt status due to one of the largest infiltration and attacks against the US government in the entire history of America.

Most journalists wouldn't know hard hitting journalism if it fucked them balls deep with no lube.

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.

There's different types of names for a group depending on certain variables. Not all cults are religions.
The difference between a cult and a religion is that in a cult the person at the top of the pyramid scheme knows it’s all a bullshit grift and everyone else is a true believer, it’s a religion when that person dies.

Can they try Mormon temples next? Please? That would be so fucking funny.
I am crying at the mental image of a bunch of retirees in white suits and white dresses trying to politely shepherd a bunch of teenagers with phones out of their crystal-covered collection of big living rooms.
It would be difficult, idk anything about Scientology but I’ve spent time in Mormon temple. Scientology buildings are more like offices I think and the temple has tons of locked doors
-
it’s trespassing with the added benefit of a dice roll on the building security’s understanding of castle doctrine.
And filming yourself and posting it online for the notoriously litigious organization.

Surprised they weren't just shot.

On the one hand, this is very funny. On the other hand, however, it’s still very funny, but also maybe we shouldn’t turn running full speed into a house of religion, no matter how hokey that religion may be, into a trend? Yes, the whole enterprise is shady at best, and they believe in some weird space alien magic. They also have a history of harassing former members and anyone who dares to pull back the veil on the secretive organization’s scare tactics.
Fuck off with this whitewashing. Scientology isn't "hokey" or "shady". It's outright evil.
And why does the journalist call it a religion? It's a cult.
Or a for profit company, under German law.
-
Clearly they're doing it wrong - they need to attack en masse.
And they need to do the naruto run, i thought we already had this figured out

Helll yeah, carrying on the tradition

Seems to me if you did some research, came up with a cover story and dressed the part, you could walk in and get pretty far before being caught. Just pretend you’re on your mission year, and wear a nametag.
You wanna get Sea Org’d? Cause that’s how you get Sea Org’d.

Weird way to spell "do shit like boil them alive".

And we know this, and yet our government has done nothing to purge this national security threat from our government.

I read that as "fucked them in the balls with no lube" and I really liked the way it sounded.

It's pretty common mentality among a lot of adults that the fucked up world will just have to be fixed by the kids. It's fucking absurd.
