How the viral ‘Scientology speedrun’ trend got started and why young people keep doing it.
1 teen arrested during ‘Scientology speedrunning’ event that got its beginnings on social media
Hahahaha the kids are alright
Feels like a generational rite of passage at this point to shit on Scientologists
I’m glad there’s still some light in the world
For real, when I started seeing these scientology speedruns I literally said to myself “I guess the kids are gonna be alright”
Gooood gooood
I’m glad they aren’t wasting their time on low hanging fruit while the global order spirals into chaos or anything…
Yeah those god damn lazy Canadian teens, why aren’t they stopping fascism in America, or ending the war in Ukraine. All these lazy damn kids are doing these days is… Checks notes … Taking direct and effective action against the world’s largest cult, know for being extremely litigious and violent to detractors.
By the time I was there age I was already… Playing baseball
Yep, exactly
And what the fuck are you doing, asshole? Sitting here on Lemmy with your thumb up your dick?
What? No actually my time is very valuable, I promise.
I can see that I touched a nerve though. You’re welcome.
Every single person who ever said “my time is very valuable” as if it’s somehow not as valuable as someone else’s time, is an asshole. Every. Single. One.
Hmm?
Sorry I couldn’t hear you over the sound of how much more important my time is than yours
Anyway, my point was that scientologists are low hanging fruit, they should be protesting the politicians who are selling their future, that’s all I meant.
I’m glad you feel so passionately about it though. Real “American millennials in 2007” energy
So, only the most important thing can ever be done? Including by random unorganized teens?
I mean, ideally, yes, people should probably try to live their lives in a way that maximizes the importance of their actions, especially when they’re actions that challenge authority.
But hey, I mean laughing at clowns is funny too, it just isn’t as impressive as, you know, actually opposing real authority figures
people should probably try to live their lives in a way that maximizes the importance of their actions
You joined Lemmy five hours ago and have 17 comments, a plurality of which are whining about a few hundred teenagers in Canada.
People including like 14 year old dweebs should be considering the geopolitical and sociopolitical weight of each of their actions and only doing what action maximizes the glory of the human species forever into eternity. Right? I mean this is basically you. Like I get yeah it’s be great if we all just righteously righteouses our way down to city hall and tomorrow we all woke up on Mr Rodgers street and waved howdy neighbour and nobody heard of debt, hallelujah!!!
Like, this is nonsense. This is Wilder than the wildest Looney leftie gobbledygook, by a margin of infinity. You’re a goofball who’s just wasting people’s time and that’s probably the point. And if so then good day sir, you win I lose.
I don’t think you can credibly accuse someone of having a touched nerve while you’re sitting here on a backwater social media site pissing and moaning about how some teenagers in Vancouver are annoying you by doing something good.
Why not?
What? No actually my time is very valuable, I promise.
Okay, then what are you doing with that valuable time? Spill it.
Well, today, I’m actually in the process of packing my shit so I can move into this house that I just bought.
And that’s about all the time I have for you
Being baited into spending time replying to social media posts questioning the value of your time… you sure showed them, buddy.
Dude fuck off that’s what the Internet is.
I’m also doing like 5 other things
Think what you want, I already know I’m living a better life than you are 💖
I’m just being honest with you, but you sound like an insufferable cunt. Go touch grass.
Well, today, I’m actually in the process of packing my shit so I can move into this house that I just bought.
Okay, and how is that helping with the whole “global order spiraling into chaos” thing?
So how’s your personal life going?
Do you usually spend this much time harassing random assholes on the internet, or was there a particular aspect to my offhanded comments that particularly triggered you?
Honestly, I’m all ears
You lose your job? Your boss mean to you? Not a lot of attention from the ladies?
Like what made you such an angry little man, I wonder…
or was there a particular aspect to my offhanded comments that particularly triggered you?
Why yes, there was.
The part where you criticized some random teens for going after ‘low hanging fruit’ when apparently they’re supposed to be tackling global problems instead. Especially the hypocritical part of that, because you’re also doing nothing about those global problems.
Hypocrites annoy me. And I don’t usually spend so much time harassing them, but I do enjoy harassing a hypocrite when I see one so blatant.
I’m glad they are
