So what is Hexbear's official stance on Satanists and Luciferians?
On some subjects they seem pretty leftist, on others they seem like libertarians.
Pick a dang side, Satanists!
slap bass and mouth noises

That's because there's like thirteen different branches of Satanism, but there is one that stands above the rest; and not in a good way
I'm talking about The Satanic Temple, which is basically Libertarian Edgelordism (Anton LaVey was directly influenced by Ayn Rand and Objectivism)
It, like many other things, is basically a grift at this point.
One of their more disgusting acts of late was telling people that if they were official members of TST, they could still get legal abortions in Texas.
You know, completely ignoring the fact that the ban was written mainly around preventing doctors from even being able to perform them in the first place
The best part is that they love using lawsuits to try and quiet their critics, so pointing this out in public is liable to get you threatened with legal actions
And that's not even getting into how their current head honcho is a smarmy piece of shit, who's also liable to be a Nazi
You got your shit backwards. The Satanic Temple is basically an atheist civil rights group. They're the ones that made FL put up the Baphomet statue when it put up a ten commandments statue.
Anton LaVey and the libertarian creeps are in the Church of Satan.
Whoops, thanks for that
I gotta remember to double-check my shit when I'm still groggy from being up all night
Not contradicting anything else you said about TST (because I just don’t know that much about them), but I’m pretty sure LaVeyan satanism is a different branch from TST. Anton LaVey was associated with the Church of Satan
please tell me these dipshits aren't the ones with the dope-ass baphomet statue :vegan-seitan:
That's The Satanic Temple , different from the Church of Satan . In OP Flakes confuses them a bit.
TST (of which i am a member fwiw, but not active as i am eu-based) is just a group of atheist libs, who like the satanic aesthetic, and is de facto a lib political group. R*ddit libs who outgrew their edgy atheist phase love em. The Church of Satan is a purely religious organisation, and "cringe" in every sense of the word. Reactionary, individualist, bigoted.
Is it a parody of religion like New Atheists do?
New Atheists are anti-theist, TST not. TST's entire shtick is secular humanism, and tolerates religion, but puts seperation of state and church first.
Thanks for the answer.
The Satanic Temple are my chosen flock. The priests are true believers who have built a following by presenting my worship "as a bit". It is delightful.
Isn't occultism in general rife with Nazi shit, though? One of my friends is really into ceremonial magick and I read a few articles... tons of Nazi shit. Looked into Crowley... when he wasn't sexually abusing women and children, he was doing Nazi shit. And of course, we all know about Hitler's weird obsession with the occult (in addition to the obvious Nazi shit).
Now, I'm fairly certain my friend isn't into Nazi shit. He has never given me any reason to think he was very politically engaged - he is mostly into esotericism - but he has always been vocally anti-bigotry. You seem to be fairly knowledgeable about this stuff - how common are spaces in occult communities that don't cater to Nazi types? I know that simply being into magick or whatever doesn't automatically make someone a Nazi, but is it fair to view these communities with a degree of suspicion?
If you think I'm sadistic with Christians who do not live up to the teachings of their selected god, imagine how much I salivate to torment those who claim to act in my name.
He is a nazi and I've been trying to convince his underlings to cannibalize him. It turns out that flock is not quite as in commune with me as they like to congratulate themselves on being. All of them have varying taxonomies of early-to-mid stage cancer now at least.
