“Do you honestly expect me to know the continents?”

“If you drink water from your faucet it’s like drinking water from the toilet didn’t you know that?”

Reminder, The Satanic Temple is NOT YOUR FRIEND!!! Run by right wingers, a man who believes in eugenics and is quite antisemitic. Queer Satanic has all your info on this as well as a great video by Dead Domain.

How are people like @sarapequeno.bsky.social still writing facile stories like this in the current year of our dark lord?

Seriously: try asking TST about their approach to free speech when it comes to current and former members — or critical news articles.

In the Trump era, Satanists may be our saviors in fight to preserve free speech | Opinion

I spoke with Lucien Greaves, cofounder of the Satanic Temple, about what the organization looks like in the Trump era.

It’s why after college I couldn’t in good conscience work for anything corporate and just became a teacher. I was all trained up to be a geologist… wanted Paleontology was told no jobs don’t do it so much. Jobs in geology! Yeah if wanna sell my soul.

I know we all love this man, but make sure to genuinely carry his message in your heart: you can always reject a false premise. There are almost always more than two choices.

That's more of a feature of Satanists having virtually no real-world power than us being inherently better in any way.

Satanists suck for the same boring reasons as everyone else.

Anton LaVey was a mediocre douchebag

Or: "How the Church of Satan founder was a piece of shit in lots of boring ways, too"

Jack Kirby: "I was raised in an area where you had a lot of gangsters. I know what gangsters do. Hitler's gonna want war. You start jumpin' around and giving him what he wants, he's gonna feed on your weakness."

MARK: So the capacity for great good and evil is inherent in everyone?
JACK: Of course. I was dating my wife at the time Hitler was coming on, and I did this editorial cartoon which showed Neville Chamberlain patting a boa con-strictor, and the boa had a bulge called Czechoslovakia. Chamberlain had just given Czechoslovakia to Hitler, okay.
And the boa had Hitler's mustache. I showed it to my boss at the syndicate and he says, "How dare a 19-year-old like you do a cartoon like that? What do you know?" I says "Well, I was raised in an area where you had a lot of gangsters. I know what gangsters do. Hitler's gonna want war. You start jumpin' around and giving him what he wants, he's gonna feed on your weakness." And Hitler wanted more and more until there was a face-off.

1/ Exiles of the Golden Age is a neo-Nazi event coming to Vancouver on July 26. Why do the care so much about Vikings? Nationalist movements, the Nazi Party & now neo-Nazis constructed their own version of Nordic history (which they extended to German history) to justify fascism.

Hey

So this is capitalism trying to take a foothold in our community.

They see a market, and they want a piece.

If they get one, they'll want more, they'll start trying to show up at cons to sell us garbage

They'll insert plants into our community (which I bet are already here now) --->
