Anonymous vs Scientology - Tales From the Internet

  • Scientology had long been a target of mockery on the Internet, but it grew exponentially after an episode of South Park exposed more people to its inner workings. After they sent a legal threat to YTMND to take down a number of the sites that were made mocking them, YTMND's owner, Max Goldberg upted the ante by creating a new section on the front page dedicated solely to making sites at Scientology's expense. Among the jokes was a site called "The Unfunny Truth About Scientology," which exposed a large audience to more serious scandals that Church had, including the Lisa Mcpherson case.
    After YTMND had moved on without Scientology following up on its threats, 4Chan took up the mantle against Scientology with its Project Chanology campaign.

      Killswitch Sevenfold That’s what would make such a lie especially appalling, that he wasn’t so dense to have not understood that. Doing the show gave a new generation an appreciation for him, and that statement was alienating (no double entendre intended 😄).
      Not that “The Church” would’ve taken this approach, but it would’ve endeared people so much more if they just saw his being in on the joke. People really soften to someone who can laugh himself. And a lot of people will rattle off the entire gamut of jokes about their own religions. They’re the ones who will introduce you to the jokes, because they’re firm in their beliefs and unshaken by a little humor.

      Killswitch Sevenfold OK, I just found this quote from Isaac Hayes III from Tony Ortega’s site The Underground Bunker: “Isaac Hayes did not quit South Park; someone quit South Park for him. What happened was that in January 2006 my dad had a stroke and lost the ability to speak. He really didn’t have that much comprehension, and he had to relearn to play the piano and a lot of different things. He was in no position to resign under his own knowledge. At the time, everybody around my father was involved in Scientology - his assistants, the core group of people. So someone quit South Park on Isaac Hayes’ behalf. We don’t know who.”

      When Christianity was changed and splintered into a bunch of different denominations the town of Munster adopted their own version that devolved to the point where it was basically a harem for the town elders. Younger men were killed or driven out while the elders took many young wives including children. Any dissent was met with torture/execution. Some seriously twisted shit went down. Fanaticism + Isolation + Charismatic leaders.
      Eventually it got so bad that the German military showed up, surrounded the town, and starved them out. Basically the entire town was massacred down to the last man, woman and child. The leaders of the rebellion were tortured to death and hung in cages for all to see as a warning.
      So yeah. Germany has some history with religions going rogue and causing serious problems.

      Mr. Hayes was definitely pressured to quit South Park by higher ups in the cult. It's a real deal cult; if you don't do what they tell you there are real consequences. And if they want to kick you out its not just you getting the boot, they try to take your family and your friends and your career from you if they can. Mr. Hayes probably saw it as a lot easier to just close that South Park chapter of his life and forward the resignation email the cult sent him then stir up problems for himself and his family.

      @@Sarah-qx4vz It's true. It's not that people don't want to speak up, it's because in the past people used to be able to openly criticize these kinds of things with no consequences and even gaining social praise from it. Now when people attack those kinds of things they risk losing their job, getting ostracized online by the rapid far left twitter cult and getting doxed, harassed, etc.
      The irony with far lefties is that they still believe they are "the rebels", the ones that attack the system, meanwhile their ideology is backed by the Democratic Party that holds full power in politics atm and by just about all the richest most powerful businesses including all of big tech. Some rebels they are as social media backs them up by silencing and banning their opposition and every business in America changes their icons to rainbow flags and BLM propaganda.
      They cry about the system oppressing them as they ally with the same system that is oppressing everyone else, and people get angry as hell because they notice this hypocrisy all the time. But no one wants to risk their livelihood by speaking up, it's not a game anymore, people really lose their jobs by speaking up against this kind of crap.

    I was part of the ASyd (Anon-Sydney) Chapter of Chanology about 12 years ago, and to begin with it was full of hope and affirmation.
    After a year or so of my involvement, it had devolved into shouting in-group memes and screaming them at a building.
    It had become a victim of it's own initial success as cliques formed and infighting began within its own internal structure.
    We thought we were internet super-heroes, but most of us were bored kids wanting to belong to something bigger than ourselves.
    The goal was pure and well intentioned, but the CoS saw us street kids for what we were, and waited us out until we got bored.
    To this day, I wish that I'd been brave enough to take further steps against the 'Church', but I had a life to build, and couldn't dedicate more of myself to the cause.
    This is one of my life's bigger regrets.

Watch the "Infiltrating scientology" videos that came out recently. Its by a couple dude bros, but it was very well made. It is what started me on this rabbit hole. The part that freaks me out a bit more is that the main dude gets brainwashed, and cant remember actual events of his life because it got changed from a 10 hour session of what is clearly brainwashing.

Needless to say, my teacher told my parents, my parents took me to a psychiatrists, it was a mess. But yes, i got a big talkin' to about doing school reports on touchy subjects. Joke was on them. The psychiatrists I mentioned: She told me that I should be a journalist, and that I should always push the envelope if I think something should be brought to people's attention. Now it makes sence.

    One of my proudest accomplishments is that I recognized "Scientology" for the cult that it is way back in the late 20:th century. I was WAY ahead of the curve on that one! I even bought a copy of Dianetics for less than a dollar and actually read it just for the lulz. At the time I couldn't quite believe how all these creative, intelligent and seemingly well-read celebrities could fall for such an obvious con. That was a good decade+ before I got my autism diagnose. I now realize that neuro-typical people generally believe in stuff, not on the merits of their objective "truth value" or bayesian probability , but for entirely esoteric causes like psychological and social reasons.

    One time back in 2018 when my dad and our roommate and I were walking down Hollywood Boulevard, a guy in a suit stopped us and offered us movie tickets. As soon as we saw the synopsis we knew it was nonsense. The guy insisted but we said no thanks and walked away. I looked up in front of me to the side and there it was. The Scientology building itself.

    You know, as a Catholic I was never once offended by jabs at my religion done in Family Guy, South Park or any of those shows.
    I genuinely found those jokes funny.
    Little story about my own encounter with Scientology here:
    I work at a grocery store, and we have a bunch of magazines of course.
    Well the title of one of the news magazines articles we had was "My Life in Scientology Hell".
    And that was plastered in gold bold on the front cover.
    A lady comes up to my line and asks to speak to a manager with this stern, and clearly offended voice.
    I didn't resist her at all.
    Believe me I thought she was being way too sensitive saying that having Scientology and Hell in the same sentence was some how discriminatory towards here belief (she was a Scientologist).
    I saw nothing wrong with it, Hell was being used as an adjective to compare being part of Scientology to subjecting oneself to eternal condemnation.

      Late to this, but same. There are some religious jokes that bother me, but my reaction is usually to just stop watching that episode. If Jesus has a problem with it, He'll deal with it.

    I read an article about Isaac Hayes and South Park where his grandson was interviewed. In it he stated that he believes that the Church of Scientology wrote that letter as Hayes was incapacitated with a stroke. He said that his grandfather was a lot of things but he wasn't a hypocrite. After South Park satirized every other religion without him saying anything he wouldn't have flipped over Scientology.

He was brainwashed by the club and I think he did snap out of his, but it was too late and he died as he fell off the cliff (im not sure bout the latter part.) It was a touching episode in it's own weird little way. I think it was a fitting tribute. The guy did work for southpark for years, a lil pedo joke would make him proud.

    Saw that south park as a teenager, bought the fundamentals of thought and read it. Shit is wild, they redefine a lot of words to fit their theology. After reading the book I went the the Denver Scientology Church to see whats what. Immediately it looks like a modern library mixed with a museum. The receptionists pair you up with a person who works there. The person you are paired with interviews you and asks/answers questions. Its very similar to a car salesman where they try to feed into your ego to manipulate you. After about 30 minutes I took their personality test. The person read it to me and then began to push Scientology courses to "fix" what was wrong according to my personality test. These courses aren't cheap, $500 each. After hearing that I politely told them I will think about it and left.
    Cool experience if you're bored and want to see what Scientology is like in person

    Isaac Hayes leaving South Park was just really, really sad. The man never had any problem when the show was poking fun at literally anything else but as soon as they brought up Scientology, it became a problem. Almost like he was forced to leave or something...
