    It’s one thing to get swept along by the mob of social media, its a whole 'nother level of dumbassery to do illegal shit and then post the evidence to social media for the cops to come and arrest you. I dunno why that’s controversial.

      I’ll be dead honest, I’m stoked they did for the simple fact of pointing any kind of light at Scientology (I don’t need the “this doesn’t really help” POV to be clear).

      Whether it’s stupid in a general sense? Maybe specifically for these ones, yeah, gonna be consequences lol.

      But I expect there exists some inflection point, where the knucklehead youths do more and more funny (cool) shit, looking a bit like this.

      I think that exists because they’ve grown up on a singular social message - broadcast *stuff*, it's both no big deal (any given stream) and important (can't not stream). While at the same time things really crumble and get notably shit, the same generation growing up to see the Emperor’s Clothes, so to speak, via Epstein and the amazing un-response to some of the worst shit ever.

      That’d be I guess, roughly, you and my generation who mostly sleep-walked into that.

      So yeah. More people doing and more people streaming the doing is what I expect. If it’s inevitable, let’s welcome it. Celebrate. If not, regardless of value judgment, starting from just what seems likely, well, strap in lol.
