  6. A #Satanist, as framed by #AntonLaVey in #TheSatanicBible, does not ignore harm or turn passive. Response is measured, not reckless. They assess the situation, set firm boundaries, and act to protect themselves. If wronged, they may answer proportionally rather than forgive blindly. Justice is practical, not emotional, with focus on preserving strength, autonomy, and control.

    > This presentation will explain how a neo-Nazi current developed as part of modern Satanism. Despite its highly individualistic ethos, since Anton LaVey first founded the Church of Satan in 1966—kicking off Satanism as a religious and philosophical tradition—it has been mired in Far Right views. LaVey’s early flirtations with National Socialism helped lead to an actual Nazi-Satanist current emerging in the early 1970s, which has ensconced itself as a permanent fixture in Satanism. Today, this current has become more popular than ever, as the Order of Nine Angles cross-pollinates with neo-Nazi terrorists, school shooters, and online child abusers.

    ¿Sabían que la filosofía de Anton Szandor LaVey, plasmada en La Biblia Satánica publicada en 1969, se define técnicamente como un materialismo ateo y no como una adoración a una entidad deística o sobrenatural?

    LaVey utilizó la figura de Satán como un arquetipo literario y simbólico que representa el individualismo, la complacencia de los instintos naturales y la oposición a las religiones que promueven la abnegación. Su estructura de pensamiento se basó en una síntesis de las ideas de Friedrich Nietzsche sobre el superhombre, el egoísmo racional de Ayn Rand y las teorías de la supervivencia del más apto de Ragnar Redbeard, rechazando cualquier forma de sacrificio o ritual que implique daño físico a seres vivos.

    Su sistema ético se basa en la formulación de las "Once Reglas Satánicas de la Tierra" y los "Nueve Pecados Satánicos", donde el pecado capital absoluto es la estupidez. A diferencia de las percepciones populares, el sistema de LaVey prohibía estrictamente el proselitismo y la violación de la libertad ajena, estableciendo que la propia satisfacción no debe interferir con la de los demás. Su organización, la Iglesia de Satán, fundada en la Noche de Walpurgis de 1966 en San Francisco, operó bajo un registro legal de exención de impuestos en Estados Unidos, enfocándose en la "psicodramaturgia" o rituales de descarga emocional como herramienta de catarsis psicológica sin pretensiones de intervención divina o mágica externa.

    Be so unshakable, so fully aligned with your own truth, that even those who stand against you are forced to reflect. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 — 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞. When your presence leaves a mark, when your actions echo long after you’re gone, you’ve already won. Let them walk away with trembling thoughts and new awareness — not because you sought revenge, but because you embodied power without apology.

  21. Anton LaVey plagiarized* "Might Is Right" for "The Satanic Bible" — here's the proof

    queersatanic.com/anton-lavey-p

    Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, directly lifted passages from the 19th century proto-fascist book "Might Is Right" by “Ragnar Redbeard” (Arthur Desmond) and did so extensively and without credit to produce a substantial part of LaVey’s most famous and popular work "The Satanic Bible".

    This has been known for a very long while, although most Satanists tend not to be aware of just how shamelessly and thoroughly this work was done.

    This article demonstrates exactly that.

  31. Why You Should (Not) Become a Satanist

    queersatanic.com/why-you-shoul

    (A Case Against) Identifying with Satanism in the Modern World

    First, let’s make sure there’s no misunderstanding.

    Most Satanists do not worship or even believe in a literal, supernatural devil. It is absolutely not the norm for Satanists to abuse or ritually harm children or animals; if anything, less than the general population, even. Satanists do not have much institutional power or influence in the world; most of what you hear along those lines eventually ends up being thinly-veiled antisemitism, frankly.

    So who are Satanists, really? Mostly we’re just regular folk with some religious trauma.

    If you’ve been raised by Christian reactionaries and particularly if told that you personally are evil because you have typical intrusive thoughts and human feelings, it’s going to mess you up. Or maybe you have an understanding of your own body, gender identity, and/or sexuality that your Christian family and church disapprove of. It can be quite natural to abandon trying to live up the expectations of those who will always hate you. When you notice that family members can justify abuse, rooting for genocide, and calling rank cruelty the way of heaven, it’s not surprising if you are one of so many who echo Huck Finn in saying, “All right then. I’ll go to hell.”

    When you have watched those who say they are of-God make for years a convincing case that Satan is the logical and compassionate choice, why would a thinking, caring person not say, “Yes, I am of the devil. Be Gay, Do Crime, Hail Satan”?

    Yet you should resist this temptation.

    So who are Satanists, really? Mostly we’re just regular folk with some religious trauma.

    If you’ve been raised by Christian reactionaries and particularly if told that you personally are evil because you have typical intrusive thoughts and human feelings, it’s going to mess you up. Or maybe you have an understanding of your own body, gender identity, and/or sexuality that your Christian family and church disapprove of. It can be quite natural to abandon trying to live up the expectations of those who will always hate you. When you notice that family members can justify abuse, rooting for genocide, and calling rank cruelty the way of heaven, it’s not surprising if you are one of so many who echo Huck Finn in saying, “All right then. I’ll go to hell.”

    When you have watched those who say they are of-God make for years a convincing case that Satan is the logical and compassionate choice, why would a thinking, caring person not say, “Yes, I am of the devil. Be Gay, Do Crime, Hail Satan”?

    Yet you should resist this temptation.

    (A Case Against) Identifying with Satanism in the Modern World

    First, let’s make sure there’s no misunderstanding.

    Most Satanists do not worship or even believe in a literal, supernatural devil. It is absolutely not the norm for Satanists to abuse or ritually harm children or animals; if anything, less than the general population, even. Satanists do not have much institutional power or influence in the world; most of what you hear along those lines eventually ends up being thinly-veiled antisemitism, frankly.
