if you wanted to take the most "evil" position, and you buy into anti-communist rhetoric, why not ironically take on the position of a communist? it's the ideology of death according to reactionaries; what could be more metal than that?

you invoke satan, and all you can come up with is an edgy version of the status quo? fuck off lmao

    This is how I feel about most self-professed chaos magick practitioners. They're free to manifest whatever they can imagine, but the things they choose to imagine are fucking stupid.

      That's pretty accurate for the Satanic Temple, they're like Ron Reagan Jr. style atheist/secular libs. The episode is about LaVeyan Satanists though who are libertarians :libertarian-approaching:

    Okay but that middle bit with drilSatan and chrisHitler made me laugh harder than I have at chapo for a while. I'm pissed that people think everythings on fire down here. We don't have trees down here for fire!! Do you know how long it takes for a tree to do enough bad shit to go to hell?!

    I'm interested but not enough to listen to a podcast. What are the satanists up to?

        A British nazi satanist group infiltrated a bunch of American nazi groups and are potentially assisted by North Korea :alex-karma: and no I am not kidding

      It's basically Ayn Rand with some occult/ritual nonsense sprinkled in. I only know this because I read the Satanic Bible when I was an edgy teen.

    Pasi described [Allister] Crowley's fascination to the extreme ideologies of Nazism and Marxism–Leninism, which aimed to violently overturn society: "What Crowley liked about Nazism and communism, or at least what made him curious about them, was the anti-Christian position and the revolutionary and socially subversive implications of these two movements. In their subversive powers, he saw the possibility of an annihilation of old religious traditions, and the creation of a void that Thelema, subsequently, would be able to fill."
