[MIRROR] Notes on a farce

Originally published at My Thoughts Born From Fireby Aleph Skoteinos Forgive the interruption between my inquiry on Revolutionary Demonology, but it seems there’s been a nuisance coming my way. Suffice it say that, it is quite incredible to see what lengths some people will go to in order to keep other people’s mouths shut. Last […]

Hi Aleph. Your article on Unione Satanisti Italiani is dishonest and leads to slander. Precisely for this reason we’re evaluating with our law firm to proceed with a lawsuit against you. We hope that in the future you will be more careful about making unfounded accusations. You should have read more about us before writing such slanders. We are open to discussion but we do not like those who try to cleverly reinterpret our contents with malice.

How can TST’s defenders think grotesque bigotry by its owner is merely “an imperfection” to be celebrated? When confronted with examples of Doug “Lucien Greaves” Misicko’s pattern of reactionary words and actions over the past two decades, usually, The Satanic Temple’s sycophants offer one of a small handful of stock excuses to deflect and otherwise […]

[MIRROR] Italian Nazis in Black: An analysis of the Union of Italian Satanists

Originally published at My Thoughts Born From Fireby Aleph Skoteinos Whenever Satanism is covered in the press, the focus is usually on the representations of atheistic Satanism, usually consisting of the Church of Satan, The Satanic Temple, and/or the Global Order of Satan.

The Satanic Temple is very bad at court cases

TST’s choices of lawyers helps explain why We’ve written before about The Satanic Temple’s history of embarrassing legal failures and egregious self-inflicted errors as litigants. While it has seemed like this would never catch up to TST in the media because “Satanists are bad, actually” is about as “dog bites man” as a news story […]

The Cevin Who Would Be King

Cevin Soling is the co- or sole owner of most of The Satanic Temple’s various corporations but goes by the pseudonym “Malcolm Jarry” when associating with TST in public, including—alarmingly—on many of their legal documents. We’ve talked before about how before and during the early years of the Temple, Soling (as “Cevin Soling”) was visiting […]

Arrow pointing at white man in khaki pant and a baseball cap, text says "Cevin Soling aka 'Malcolm Jarry', co-owner of The Satanic Temple." Soling is flanked by two Ni-Vanuatu men in mlitary fatigues, with another man carrying a USA flag a few steps behind him. Another six paces behind that man is a contingent of NI-Vanuatu men marching in fatigues with wooden muskets. From a hut and at the edge of a clearing, more people look on.

When it comes to The Satanic Temple, there’s always more and it’s always worse

In short, The Satanic Temple is: But when it comes to The Satanic Temple, there’s always more and it’s always worse. Usually—and this is not a joke—when people learn more about The Satanic Temple’s owners Doug Misicko (“Lucien Greaves”) and Cevin Soling (“Malcolm Jarry”), and their business practices, the unprompted comparison folks make is “Scientology” […]

Be your best self

Your mileage may vary, but here’s one rule of thumb: if you’ve heard of the “Thor Protector of Lesbians” meme before consider whether that character would be effeminate if they had a bed full of soft plushies. If Thor could have plushies, wear makeup and a dress, and still be butch, so can you. You […]

“Disability is great”

Do support your disabled friends and community, but for example, if an artist is doing a commission for you, listen to them very specifically about how the payments are going to work. The USA’s policy toward disabled people, like many people, is best described as “eugenics… but make it a little less obvious”, so the […]
