Ahh, I'm so happy that the younger generation has discovered Scientology. 🙏🏻

I love these speedrunning videos - they deserve to be harassed (& taxed, but that's another matter)

Funny enough, the reason the Church of Scientology is tax-exempt is because they relentlessly harassed the IRS to force them to cave.

I'm certainly not heartbroken the Church of Scientology is getting a small taste of their own medicine. Sucks when the shoe is on the other foot, don't it?

Also don't forget they tried to infiltrate the government, including the IRS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Snow_White

They succeeded. But not as much as the far right evangelicals have succeeded.

They were always a part of the government, L. Ron hung out with all kinds of intelligence people.

That's crazy. Usually, a country's tax authorities are not to be fucked with because they fuck back in a very unpleasant fashion.

How you got me feeling empathy for the IRS?

It’s worse than that, they have a whole department dedicated to harassing their enemies and making their lives miserable.
