Zoomers 'Speedrun' Scientology Church: Is This Based?
Okay, so some Gen Z kids 'speedran' a Scientology church in NYC, and the Church is big mad—but is it based? Let's unpack this meme-worthy moment.

Alright, chuds, let's talk about this Scientology 'speedrun' thing that's got the internet buzzing. Apparently, a bunch of Zoomers decided to treat the Church of Xenu's pad in Manhattan like a level in Grand Theft Auto, breaking in, causing some chaos, and racking up a bruised staff member in the process. The Church, naturally, is clutching its pearls harder than Tom Cruise at a Dianetics convention.
Now, before we start chugging copium and chanting about the sanctity of religious institutions, let's pump the brakes for a sec. Scientology, for those blissfully unaware, is less a religion and more a high-control cult with a sci-fi backstory wilder than a season finale of Rick and Morty. They’ve been accused of everything from financial fraud to harassing their critics into oblivion. So, forgive me if my sympathy levels are currently registering somewhere between zero and 'slightly annoyed by the paperwork this probably generates.'
These kids are getting clout online for their shenanigans. The Church of Scientology's statement to The Guardian is basically the NPC meme of 'This wasn't a peaceful visit!' But here's the thing: while the property damage and potential assault are definitely un-based, the sheer audacity of these kids is…dare I say…kinda funny? Like, these are the same kids who will cancel you for using the wrong pronoun while simultaneously violating the rights of Scientologists. The irony is so thick you could cut it with a tactical spork.
The real question is: are these Zoomers truly enlightened crusaders fighting against a shadowy cult, or are they just attention-starved goblins chasing TikTok fame? Probably the latter. But hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day, and sometimes, the enemy of my enemy is just another moron who accidentally stumbled into doing something vaguely amusing.
The Church of Scientology is now crying to the NYPD, probably hoping to use the full weight of the legal system to crush these kids like empty beer cans at a frat party. They want to remind everyone how serious they are, which only makes them look more pathetic. Seriously, these guys are about as threatening as a My Little Pony convention. The Streisand Effect is about to hit them harder than L. Ron Hubbard's ego did in 1950.
So, where does that leave us? Well, the Church is probably going to get some extra security and some more bad press. The Zoomers will get their clout and probably a stern talking-to from their parents (or maybe just a retweet from Elon Musk). And the rest of us? We get to sit back, grab some popcorn, and watch the chaos unfold. It's the internet, baby! Ain't nothin' sacred. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go practice my own Scientology 'speedrun' route in Minecraft.
