It’s doubtful any kind of increased attention on Scientology will benefit the cult. Too much is already known about them for anyone to take them seriously. In the past, they relied on the public’s lack of knowledge of their inner workings to recruit new members. Today, a quick google will bring up Xenu, Sea Org, harassment campaigns, slavery, the Miscaviges, and South Park. Scientology hasn’t faired well in the Information Age.
You’d think conservative values would lapse in the same way, but they have only been invigorated in the minds of current day youth. Sense and reason can be completely overtaken by emotion. Particularly against an “aggrieved” party like these slimy fucks.
sure, it won’t help them recruit, but it will help them hold their existing members. when they have evidence of the “persecution” they face it makes it easier for them to discredit the negative info online.
i know for certain that this is at least the Mormon playbook.
It took Jews 3000 years to commit a genocide. Laughing at them is only step 1. They only become a respectable religion once they commit their own genocide.

What the fuck?
If there’s a question, you’d have to be more specific.
