Chanology?

Sure, it isn't a political proclamation, but that's what the signs are for. It gets real boring standing outside for several hours unless you've got something everybody can laugh about.
Also, in b4 somebody posts the "INTERNET SUPERHEROES" poster which describes 4chan's /b/ ("we are mindless 'me too'-ism"). Seriously? A 4chan-based protest without memes is like a tanning salon without skin cancer.

That's not to say they protesters were justified in their following actions either. Both the protesters and the woman in the video were in the wrong.

Honestly, it looks a lot like she was the one sounding off. She even kicked one guy who was trying to hand her a pamphlet. How did he respond?
He let it slide.
While I'm hesitant to use the bad behaviour of one person to tar an entire organization with one brush, that little exchange right there looks a lot like a microcosm for the larger anon/CoS dynamic
--- Quote ---Scientology is -
1) A dangerous, brainwashing cult with an agenda of fear, intimidation, profit and world domination.
2) A bunch of pathetic rich people with some frankly fucking ridiculous beliefs.
3) A club for homosexual men who are unable to come to terms with their own sexuality.
Anonymous is -
1) An anonymous international terrorist cabal with an agenda of fear, intimidation, harassment and global unrest.
2) An online community of marginalised geeks with a perverse sense of humour that share an avowed interest in meta-ironic humour.
3) A bunch of pathetic Nerds who play anarchy between mammoth D&D sessions in their Mom's garage.

From what I gather, Scientology is somewhere between 1 and 2 (the extent to which either statement is true should be decided on a case-by-case basis). Anonymous, insofar as it's possible to generalize about them, mostly fall into category number 2. Any incidents where they're accused of falling into category 1 are generally a result of somebody either misinterpreting them, or trying to undermine their credibility with scary buzzwords.

Hmm, the church of scientology seems more and more like a peoples temple type organization to me.
Oh yes, and I have some useful information for your avatar, calenlass.

That article doesn't say anything about furry woodland creatures. The erect critter might not have a problem with looking like that.
