Was he onto something?
>>18115292Oh he was on something alright....
>>18115292Who the fuck was the Iron Hubbard?
Regular reminder that Scientology is just Thelema with the Ancient Egypt/Greece theme swapped for camp 1950s sci-fi.
>>18115292He was a boomer. He literally just is a meme for boomers to have somebody say bullshit and give money to. That describes everything he did.
>>18115389He was born two generation before the boomers. He loved to surround himself with young preteen boomer girls in short shorts on his boat while high on stims and painkillers.
>>18115389One of those boomers who fought in WW2 huh? Stupid cunt.
>>18115292Honestly, he was a gigachad. He was able to milk the fuck out of so many people and build himself an empire by saying the most retarded shit imaginable without even keeping a straight face. Nothing but respect. The fact that he didn't even bother having orgies with his female followers and cucking all the men is also impressive considering how many cult leaders did. He already had his sex pest fun before Scientology in his thelema days and was after nothing but that bread by the time he rolled out Scientology.
>>18115428>He loved to surround himself with young preteen boomer girls in short shorts on his boat while high on stims and painkillersKino.
>>18115292Organizationally yes. Their operations were awefully impressive. But Scientology as a teaching is hot gabarge. And he knew this.>>18115440Bread and to act out his fleet admiral fantasies, you mean. And maybe take over a country if he could.
>>18115379Not really. Hubbard was involved with Thelema but the main idea he got from it was that he could make a lot of money startubg a religion.Thelema was basically a sex cult from the start, Scientology starts as mental health/productivity life hacks that transitions into saving the world from nuclear war and that turns into the idea that practicioners can become space wizards. It was basically pop psychoanalysis mixed with New Age self-help culture starting in the 50s mixed with hippies mixed with the UFO craze.
>>18115292He was onto nothing and he knew it, he knew perfectly well that Dianetics and all the rest are hot garbage.However, in his later years, his mental stability started to decrease more and more, he started to actually believe in his own fraud.You can see this in the OT levels, which are basically his own psychosis rambling that people actually pay a shitload of money for.
