The Satanic Temple

I noticed there wasn't a TST Lemmy community. The Satanic Temple is a modern satanic religion that aims to promote human rights and compassion. Check out their about page on their official website at https://thesatanictemple.com/pages/about-us. Note that this community is not an official affiliation. TST is also separate and not affiliated with the Church of Satan, who have a slightly different viewpoint of what satanism truly is. Dunno what to post in here, but maybe some will search for this and take part. Hello!

To sum up the video,

The founders have very problematic pasts, and most likely are still very sympathetic to extreme right wing/ fascist politics. There is no accountability for the money they are taking in. They are bringing lawsuits against people who dare say anything negative about them or their pasts. They are actually pretty ineffective at what they say they say they do.

In all, it appears to be a grift targeting left leaning people.

This isn't some "wanna be" you tuber just mouthing off. They bring the receipts.

As a member of TST, I think it's very important to not look away.

I know the video is couple of hours long, but you can break it up into pieces.

It's a very informative and well put together video. For those of us who've known about a lot of the things Doug and Cevin have got up to both before TST began and since, it's interesting to see non-Satanic progressive activists beginning to look deeper into how they operate. It's also fascinating to witness the level of denial some current members operate under.

I think this is the 3rd YT-er to look at them. illuminaughti is obviously the biggest with their 1.5million subscribers but Dead Domain is much newer so whilst I think 'wannabe' is a bit harsh, it's true that 80k is not 1.5million. Even so, there's a few very interesting comments from past members and (appalled) current members learning all this for the first time in the comment section of that video.

And Jews and Christians worship variations of Ani and El, even referring to them as "Lord," which is what Ba'al means. Bakunen lives.
