These “Scientology Runs” seem less like a real movement and more like the internet looping the same stunt over and over again.

In case you’re still lost as to what the heck is going on, a Scientology Run is when people film themselves charging into a Church of Scientology building to see how far they can get before being caught and booted out. It’s a notoriously secretive religion, so it turns the whole place into an action-movie set piece where the protagonist is trying to infiltrate a compound while fending off its legion of foot soldiers, clad in terrifying white button-ups with black vests.

    And why does the journalist call it a religion? It’s a cult.

    Or a for profit company, under German law.
