    They very much remind me of the Scientology drones running around in downtown Clearwater, Florida US.

    Impossible to engage in meaningful conversation, preoccupied nature, and how they group up knowing they aren’t wanted around, but legally you can’t get rid of them.

      if you don’t join them, then you’re just a problem to be overcome. like most cults, they’re not here for ‘meaningful conversation.’

      I used to live in Florida, I’ve heard some crazy ass stories of things that happen with the Scientology people in Clearwater.

        You know it’s bad when these people are weird even by Florida standards.

        About 35 years ago I lived about 2 miles away from downtown in the “artists/gay/gentrification” part of town. The scientologists usually don’t interact with the rest of the city/town. Unless you target them in any way , then you’re eventually leaving … one way or the other.
