You can swap out hare Krishna with Scientologists to round out the weirdos. They dress like sailors in uniform when they offer their free stress tests in Hollywood.
And answered my own question. Looks like it is on the same creepy level as the vatican:
In 1998, ISKCON published an exposé of widespread physical, emotional and sexual abuse of children in the group's boarding schools in the United States and India. The Hare Krishna monks and young devotees caring for the children had no training in the task and often resented having to perform it, the report said. At a meeting in 1996, former Krishna pupils testified that they had been regularly beaten at school, denied medical care, and sexually molested and raped.[41]
I'm going to give Hare Krishna a pass - they are what turned me onto spirituality when, in exchange for a jug of milk, a Hare Krishna gave me 3 books by Swami Prabhupada whose writings helped me to make sense of a confused time of introspection.
From there the Vedas, then Buddhism, then Taoism then finally Christianity.
No worries. Aum Shinrikyo is the cult responsible for releasing nerve gas in a Tokyo subway. I don't know anything about Synanon. Jim Jones is the guy who got 900 people to drink arsenic-laced Flavor Aid. The Krishna's are kooky, but mostly harmless... I think.
Just saw a man discussing how in the Bible it shows progression from sexual revolution to homosexual rev to insanity [ Romans} that is where we are now. Idiots in cars online is evidence

They were the originals against big pharma though. Gotta give credit there. L Ron Hubbard ass fucked big pharma.

I think any spiritual belief can be turned into a cult by the wrong person.

I would have replaced the Hare Krishna with Jim Jones' Peoples Temple of the Disciples of Christ.
edit: but otherwise a good meme :)
Koolaid anyone?
I don't know anything about these. I was just looking for cults that dress weird
