Daughter and this classmate of hers have been dating since August. She told us him & his whole family are Scientologists. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t know anything about it until she mentioned it, my first thought was “oh, they believe in science? That’s cool”. Then I looked it up online… and I still don’t understand anything. Most sources say it’s a bad thing, but I don’t get what it’s all actually about, as in doctrine, beliefs, activities, etc. I don’t even understand if it’s an actual religion or one of those pay-to-level-up self-care courses. One of the most confusing things I’ve ever read about. So if anyone could explain it straight to the point, I’d be very grateful.
Everyone else has covered most of it, but another “neat” tidbit: To my knowledge, 4chan’s protests and hacktivism against scientology was the largest coordinated action that community has ever taken.
Fucking 4chan. Land of the worst the public facing internet has to offer. Despite all their fucking racism, sexism, homophobia, supremacists… just overall despicableness… they came together in united action against this group.
