Crazy that a decade ago, scientologists was a creepy ass cult.
But today, of all the crazies, they are the most tamed.
I wouldn't go that far.
Still a creepy ass cult, but got better at hiding it. Meanwhile, more crazy emerged to compete.
Did they stop being a creepy ass cult?
No, but Q and Trumpeters and, hell, just republicans, they've raised the bar so high that even classic whackadoos seem closer to normal than to them.
If you could bring out the unabomber you'd probably be okay with him watching your kids now that we had that other shit-fire in office. Unabomber killed nowhere near the number of people due to crazy than the one guy killed due to weaponised stupidity.
What, you think they're just a regular ass cult now?
If I was in a room with a scientologist, a Nazi, a climate change denier, a Fox News fan and a Maga trumper... Pretty easy to pick. Spoiler: the last ones are near interchangeable.
so between the two people in that room, the scientologist isn’t as bad? well yeah
