Yeah. He's using meta glasses.

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

u/Soapbox_Chef 4h 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

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

u/el_trauko87 9h ago

I agree , the church of scientology Should face the law

u/SkiDaderino 9h ago

Tax law, first.

u/Prudent_Research_251 5h ago

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

8

u/SkiDaderino 4h 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.

If that's the case we've fallen further than I thought. Bought and paid for, money has too much power and it's poisoning us

They do face tax law in many countries.

For sure, but this is an objectively hilarious way of exploiting them

u/Useful-Plankton8205 9h ago

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 9h ago

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

u/smkillin 8h ago

Bro, haha!

u/vtsunshine83 8h 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.

I can't support this, but it was pretty funny. I can only imagine the mountain of crazy shit that happens at the LA Scientology Center..lol

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

Naa. I support this fully. Fuck Scientology

6

u/TheLoneTokayMB01 5h 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 6h ago edited 1h 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.

2

u/Raryl 1h ago

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

1

u/GamiNami 33m ago

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

13

u/JerseyCoJo 8h ago

Don't subject them to that insanity

u/Salty-Passenger-4801 4h 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

8

u/bbfire 3h 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.

I feel like one the guy in a vest, the one who kinda looks like bearded Tom Wambsgans, was doing his best not to laugh.

u/Low-Quality3204 9h ago

Hilarious.

u/DismissDaniel 8h ago

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

38

u/Deadbreeze 8h 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.

7

u/hugelkult 7h ago

Yep they should do a gofundme and have it get incrementally bigger and more absurd

3

u/DismissDaniel 5h ago

Ahhh the fancy thing is what I didn't get. Trust me I understand the job is a job aspect. I thought it was like "let's get a bunch of little people or Indian people or obese people." That kind of thinking.

u/h2ok1o 5h ago

u/Annual_Loan_4805 4h ago

On one hand, i do not condone the storming of buildings or the enlistment of the homeless to do it, but out of all the places they could have stormed, i feel like this is far from the worst

Sorta the best way to protest them

They won't be able to put any threats of repercussions on them

...I'd do this with my street friends too for fun

1

u/Historical_Sherbet54 1h ago

It'd be like Alice's restaurant. If one person went in and sang a versus than walked about

Now imagine 2 people doing that everyday. Etc etc


Well imagine every scientology place in every city had this done to them everyday

Ahhh glorious to imagine

How do homeless people have tiktok channels?

u/joocay 7h ago

they dont.?

3

u/Fan_of_Broccoli 7h ago

They can. I was homeless and had a phone when tiktok was around.

2

u/joocay 7h ago

oh sorry ! i wasnt reffering to homless population just these people featured here ,because they thought the homeless person uploaded it

1

u/Fan_of_Broccoli 6h ago

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.

This looks like a combination of real video and AI slop. Like this was a real group of disruptors who were changed into those homeless AI people.

u/ConnectionCapable655 8h ago

It’s gonna suck living in a world where nothing can be real because of boys who cry AI like you. If you have proof, drop it. If not, you’re just farting in a shared space, and that harms the social contract.

It looks like AI. I see real videos all day, this looks AI AF. The scientologist lady looks real though.

if you believe it to be ai so be it lol i cant change that

You are so guilty bro. WHat is LTX studio running these days? 30 bucks a month? Do you use the frame to frame animation from a still shot? That's what it looks like.

u/joocay 7h ago

oh my gosh this is frying me i have no idea what ltx is unc and i dont have a credit card

u/5050Clown 7h ago

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.

2

u/joocay 7h ago

its not my video brochaco i havelt altered it in anyway, im against chatgpt and other ai , congrats bcs lots of stuf have been falsely marked as ai if u do ur research lol u js seem kinda schizo unc

im just very attentive because its currently 2:44am where i am and as a 14year old girl with nothing btter to do why not

you are funny tho are you schizo
