I mean, one thing he was right about is that he fucking hated cops and feds, he always said things like “I’ve never seem a criminal improved by time in prison… we have no right to keep a man in a cage, we don’t even have the right to keep animals in cages.”
tho i guess it’s the same reason he hated psychiatry ( tho he does actually make some solid criticisms of psychiatry ) it’s because he wants to be the guy in power
honestly, that would be a good move for scientology to embrace lgbtq+ rights, half the people on this network would jump on it “Look the church has changed, no you don’t take the alien invader force literally, it’s a spiritual alien invader force”

@AppleAmps problem with that tho is that sexual blackmail is one of their main mechanisms of control, so sexual repression is kindof important for auditors to reel in whales
@AppleAmps mhmm, it’s modeled after catholicism / confession, the homophobia is actually a big reason a lot of people left since most of their members are california libs, whereas L Ron’s politics was like a right wing libertarian more or less, the Tories in the UK were sheltering them for a minute
