Re: What I'm missing from protests:
My unsolicited advice, General: If the lulz have left you or chanology or your corner of chanology, putter around and experiment a bit.
It's true, Scientology isn't the biggest thing on the planet. But there's something about it that hits a nerve. I can say, "fair game is bullshit!" without pesky conflicted emotions. So fighting it is fun. Scientology is, for me, a kind of test case. My larger interest is pseudoscience generally. Most popular anti-science movements are not organized or centralized like Scientology, Inc., so they're much harder to fight. Here's a happy daydream: Anonymous inspires enough political will to strip Scientology of its tax exempt status. That, combined with loss of public trust, leads to closure of most orgs around the world. The dedicated few remaining followers re-interpret LRH's writings as an account of his own personal spiritual journey rather than a prescription for the planet. They get rid of the Sea Org and the coercive tactics. They become unique individuals riffing on LRH like jazz musicians, and mostly doing positive things for their communities. The story of Anonymous as a strategy used to dismantle a power hungry cult becomes a chapter in the civics textbooks used across the US. Kids find the anecdotes about the victims of fair game riveting, and they understand why making an argument and responding to an argument is important. |

Re: What I'm missing from protests:
If Chanology had a lot of money, what projects would top the list? Probably not yelling at buildings or DDOS attacks.
I'd like some undercover investigations. The whole thing is just such a curiosity. For example, what's in the mine shaft? What is the point of the Freewinds? How much of Hollywood does Scientology control? What's Scientology's long-term strategy regarding intellectual property law? |

Hey the Sociopath Daily is back from the dead! That's a fun place to putter around if you're looking for lulz.

Should all religious documents be in the public domain by law? That way there can be an open discusion, and people would know what they were getting into. And the concentration camps would be called "religious retreats". |

Also, wit and cleverness do not peak in youth any more than they peak in old age. According to the poll here, 60% of members are 25 or younger. This is energy and future and very good to see, but the world is run and understood best by people who are more like age 30-70. "Old" people have money. "Old" people have experience. "Old" people have patience. "Old" people don't care about fads or looking cool. Accept the merging for the strength it is, or move along to where things are still all playground. Chanology, despite the nostalgia of some, did not start purely as a playground. Protesting an organized crime syndicate is SRS BIZ whether you like it or not. If you come only for the lols, you'll stay mostly for the SRS or end up leaving. |
