If you were wondering if "Roko" was some mysterious luminary, wonder no further. He's just another bazinga with an extra helping of misogyny. :kombucha-disgust:

      Everything I hear about gnostic is bad. Why is that? Agnostic seems good, why does subtracting a single letter seem to lead to nazism or something?

        They weren't that bad for the time. They were big on gender equality and believed everyone could know God personally so were anti-hierarchical for the most part. I don't know what you have heard that makes them comparable to nazis.

          Apparently it led to what a lot of Nazis believed, it's where they got the Black Sun logo among others. Like I said, I don't know much about it other than it's always some kind of malign ideology.

            I don't think there is any connection between them and the black sun logo. I think it was meant to be more Scandinavian pagan. They did believe the God of the Jewish people was evil so you could call them anti-Semitic but I think regular Christianity's 2000 years anti-Semitism influenced the Nazis more there.
