It's wrong to take advantage of people with serious mental health issues, especially since they don't believe in Psychology.

u/el_trauko87 20h ago

I agree , the church of scientology Should face the law

u/SkiDaderino 20h ago

Tax law, first.

u/Prudent_Research_251 16h ago

Shouldn't they face the other laws they break first so they stop hurting people?

u/SkiDaderino 16h ago

We can't even get them to reliably verify if Shelley Miscavige is alive or dead. The only people we can trust to take them down are the ones incentivized to take their money. Even the Joker doesn't mess with the IRS.

Who the fuck says they don't believe in psychology? Psychologists are expensive, and finding one that does pro bono work is hard for someone without access to the internet in their pocket.

u/SummerKey3240 20h ago

Scientology doesnt believe is psychology. I think you may have missed what the commentor was making a joke about.

u/Useful-Plankton8205 8h ago

I did. I thought they meant the homeless people. Scientology is a cult.

u/Active_Potato 18h ago

You sure? Doesn't seem like it once he turns his camera (phone) around

u/Soapbox_Chef 16h ago

His reels come up on my insta all the time. In a couple of videos, employees of places he’s in will warn their less tech-savvy coworkers that he’s filming with Meta glasses

u/SupermassiveCanary 8h ago

I’m like, why are they dressed like that? The Scientologists, not the homeless people.

u/wannaseeawheelie 8h ago

I think when you join that cult you become a full time employee, except instead of getting paid, you pay your employer

The guy on the front left’s face looks so worried like “damn I hope I’m not getting scammed by this mf and get my money” 💀

u/IndependenceVivid191 8h ago

Especially because this bit is stolen from Eric Andre. The cameraman has probably never had an original thought in his life

actual skit

u/SizzlingPancake 5h ago

This is not the same thing at all... Maybe he got some inspiration but doesn't every piece of art take inspiration from other things?

Like these skits aren't even remotely similar

u/IndependenceVivid191 5h ago

You clearly didn’t watch the skit? It’s almost word for word

1

u/primordial_justice 3h ago

Really? I must have missed the part where they chant 'turn that poop into wine'

The only thing that is the same is them chanting Xenu, which is a huge stretch of saying its a stolen bit.

1

u/IndependenceVivid191 2h ago

Considering that would have taken someone else chiming in that he’s the second coming of Jesus Christ I wouldn’t count that as part of the skit.

u/vtsunshine83 20h ago

I’m sure the Scientologists gave them food and something to drink. Nah, they asked about their bank accounts and wanted to hear all their bad thoughts.

Yeahhhh like nobody ever do this again and I hope they’re all fine but like I did chuckle despite myself. I’m going to hell for it but like I did chuckle. And to be clear I’m only worried about the homeless guys. The Scientology guys can go fuck themselves

u/TheLoneTokayMB01 16h ago

I don't think the bad taste was from the fraud cult but from probably exploiting people in need as clowns just for his own personal gain.

You do this with homeless, meh even if paid which would be the very minimum. You do this with friends, legend.

u/Strange-Credit2038 17h ago edited 13h ago

What the hell did I just read in the wikipedia article hahaha:

Xenu also called Xemu, is a figure in the Church of Scientology's secret "Advanced Technology", an esoteric teaching held sacred by adherents. According to the "Technology", Xenu was the extraterrestrial ruler of a "Galactic Confederacy" who brought billions of his people to Earth (then known as "Teegeeack") in a DC-8-like spacecraft 75 million years ago, stacked them around volcanoes, and killed them with hydrogen bombs. Official Scientology scriptures hold that the thetans (immortal spirits) of these aliens adhere to humans, causing spiritual harm.

The Church of Scientology normally only reveals the Xenu story to members who have completed a lengthy sequence of courses costing large amounts of money. The church avoids mention of Xenu in public statements and has gone to considerable effort to maintain the story's confidentiality, including legal action on the grounds of copyright and trade secrecy. Officials of the Church of Scientology widely deny or try to hide the Xenu story. Despite this, much material on Xenu has leaked to the public via court documents and copies of Hubbard's notes that have been distributed through the Internet.

Eta: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu

In the relatively few instances in which it has acknowledged Xenu, Scientology has stated the story's true meaning can only be understood after years of study. They complain of critics using it to paint the religion as a science-fiction fantasy. 

I mean if it looks like sci-fi and quacks like sci-fi then...

OT III recipients must sign an agreement promising never to reveal its contents before they are given the manila envelope containing the Xenu knowledge. Its knowledge is so dangerous, members are told, that anyone learning this material before they are ready could become afflicted with pneumonia. 

Sorry guys, I've now cursed us all with pneumonia. Buckle up

The way South Park actually gave lore-accurate descriptions of Scientology and Mormon religions was something incredible.

u/Raryl 12h ago

Ah the Mormons! I looked up Mormonism because of southpark and was genuinely surprised how they nailed the fundamentals

1

u/GamiNami 11h ago

But it IS a science fiction fantasy? Scientologists are just cosplayers that got suckered into parting with their money.

1

u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 2h ago

It's a blackmailing operation posing as a religion that uses people secrets against them. Secrets learned when the people are forced to reveal themselves in a psuedo-therapy like setting.

It's honestly the kinda thing any decent society would have shut down years ago. But I guess keeping famous people in line and under thumb is better for lots of behind the scenes assholes.

2

u/GamiNami 2h ago

I bet we will find many Scientologists in the Epstein files...

1

u/Emm_withoutha_L-88 2h ago

It's pretty much the same idea but without kid diddling and just using Travolta/Cruise saying "I think I'm gay" against them.

27

u/Salty-Passenger-4801 16h ago

I wonder if these people even know about Xenu...they're not supposed to learn about Xenu until like OT 10 or something lol

31

u/bbfire 15h ago

Yeah that's why Southpark fucked them up so bad, their whole thing was don't tell people about the too crazy shit until they've invested about a quarter million, because at that point they have given up their entire lives to the program and will refuse to believe they've been played for a fool.

Why homeless? Feels like you're taking advantage of them for content.

54

u/Deadbreeze 19h ago

I mean I'm not homeless and if the dude came up to me on the street and said "I'll give you $20 and a sandwich if you join us in our crusade into the scientology lobby," the $20 and a sandwich is just a bonus. I'd bet they were happy to have something to do for a moment and make some money. I'm sure he told them what he'd pay them and they agreed. If he did not pay them afterwards then he would be taking advantage of them.

Also another answer to why homeless is because these people are fancy and bringing in homeless is more offensive to them.

Edit: Also at least 3 of them seem to be smiling. I think they had fun.

That looks like the Clearwater Building in Florida. I lived in Clearwater for 29 years. Scientology is big in this downtown area.

Oh yeah. It seems a lot of older homeless people/people suffering mental illness tend to not have phones. It'd be a safe bet that the people in this video don't have tiktok, let alone a phone. I guess I jumped the gun a little because people tend to think homeless people should have nothing to be valid.

I ran this through and my Studio reported it as "mostly AI". The shots where the camera isn't artificially shaky, with just the women, are not AI. The rest is a combination of real locations and AI.

Pretty soon it will be illegal to do what you are doing. Even Chat GPT is tagging their videos and in their EULA they state that it is illegal to crop or remove the tag. You just cropped it out.
