Odd 80s Fetishization

 The Odd Fetishization of the 1980s

I don’t understand why people fetishize and look at the 1980s as if they were some golden age. The 1980s were certainly an age but it surely was less golden than Hollywood films of both the time and today picture. The satanic panic was in full swing, which meant that Metallica shirt you have would have been enough cause for you to get arrested on charges of rape, murder, and that dead cow on the farm 16 miles off town limits… despite none of the accusations being truthful or based in evidence. Innocent until proven guilty was nearly nonexistent. 
The 1980s was certainly a golden age for politically correct homophobia. It was no big deal how those dirty, sinful sodomites got treated, aids was the gay plague. 
While it’s a well done show, I do think that Stranger Things has given this younger generation (my generation) a false feeling of nostalgia. A want to live a life they never experienced but idealize only what has been presented by the media 40 years after the matter.

The Freudian Era of the Internet

 The Freudian Era of the Internet

I admire the “old internet” landscape, in fact I have begun calling it the Freudian Era as it seems to have been an open arena of thought and connections. I use the internet today (and every day) as if it was those old days. The Freudian Era was free, people could go into any number of chatrooms and discuss anything- even the most taboo ideas. It was quite a satanic environment. I may not have been conscious for this era (being born in 2006 and all) but I think I get it. I think this era began in the 1990s with the Heaven’s Gate website and ended with the demise of MySpace. 

Some of the old chatrooms can still be accessed via the wayback machine. One that interesting site I know of is this old Dana Plato web forum, many of the links are dead but just as many are able to be opened and all the messages within can be read 20 years later. 

It would be amazing if all was archived or stayed online, but sadly it’s not. O-the places I would go if they were all still available. The longest running sites I’m aware of like these are alt.satanism, 4chan, and Heaven’s Gate

If I Were Emperor of America (satirical)

 

edited photo by me

My first act as Emperor of America (as Doug Mesner calls it) would be to give Ludzer (person on discord) free cookies

My second act as Emperor of America would be the instant annihilation of Canada (in Minecraft)
Act 2.a) make Baphy and Goose assistant to the regional manager

Third act: mandatory viewing of American Psycho for everyone

Fourth Act: change the National anthem to You’ll Rebel To Anything by MSi

My fifth act as Emperor of America would be to require everyone to dress as characters from Clerks

Anyway all this is satire, the only thing I could think of doing in actuality would be not far from Revisionism as defined by LaVey

Thelemic Revision


You can find me reading this out loud here.

 







Thelemic Revision 

Love is the Law
the Law is Love

Love is Hate
Hate is Love 

Hate is the Law
Hate under Will

The will to Love
or to Hate
Is the same

Two extremes
Are just as they seem

Polarity is a circle
An infinite circle 
Rigid and never the same
In constant change
It is still the same

Yet, are we sane?

No, Anton LaVey was Not A Fascist

 No, Anton LaVey Was Not a Fascist 

By Claudia Berdella

The idea that Anton LaVey was some sort of fascist is quite ludicrous if you begin to weigh in all the factors of his persona and personal beliefs. For some right off the bat he was:
-Anti-collectivism (fascism is notoriously collectivistic by nature)
-Pro-individualism (fascism is contrary to this with its religious jingoism)

To quote Marilyn Manson on the subject, 
LaVey had been accused of being a Nazi and a racist, but his whole trip was elitism […] doesn’t judge people by race or creed but by the attainable, equal opportunity criterion of intelligence”-The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell

Pictured (L-R): Manson, Anton, Traci Lords, Karla LaVey

This picture of LaVey that Marilyn Manson paints is coherent with that of his daughter-and only child of his conscious for the founding and building of the Church of Satan- Karla. In an interview conducted by Shane Bugbee in 2022 she explicitly states that while her father wasn’t a complete SJW he was for individual freedom and free thought, the reason he would associate with some fascist leaning characters was out of pure curiosity and interest in the taboo- he was a fry cook and new how to communicate with most anyone, and at times would relay the information and people he learned from as any proper journalist would. 
"My father was not a white supremacist, neo Nazi, or fascist. He instilled values in me that I can speak with authority on & his associations with people like Boyd Rice were not in alignment with those views. That's very important to know."-Bugbee interview, 2022
Artist and filmmaker Carl Abrahamsson details in an interview that while Anton himself was personally staunchly apolitical, the closest label to define him as (which, ew, labeling someone who didn’t have one) would be libertarian, which isn’t really synonymous with fascism- fascism transcends the political compass and engulfs it at the same time. 

Echoing Karla and Abrahamsson, publisher and multimedia extraordinaire Shane Bugbee details similar in both the interview with Karla he did and in numerous points of the Might Is Right 20th Anniversary Livestream

Now, of course Might Is Right has to be brought up because it’s a common point “against” the black pope. 

Baphy Myers did a well done expose on this this subject, so that is copied here for the topic and to close off this article:

Quotes from Dr.LaVey

A fractional content of Might is Right was edited for inclusion, because the book is so filled with glaring contradictions that it is at best a rant. It was that very rant format, however, that had fired me up, and in many ways, spoke for me. ... I intended Ihe Satanic Bible itself to be an "instructional rant," albeit a necessary and largely rational one. ... I decided to immortalize a writer who had profoundly reached me.

- Anton Szandor LaVey

"My sources were Sibley Morrill and Virginia Harner...members of the "Magic Circle" - The Order of the Trapezoid, which was to become the Church of Satan. Some of Jack London's unreleased writings were stored at the prestigious Bancroft Library, where Mrs. Harner worked as a long-time custodian and researcher. She was, at that time, a close friend of Sibley Morrill, a researcher and writer on esoterica without equal. ...Mrs. Harner and Mr. Morrill arranged to let me see the "forbidden London material.

Among stacks of manuscripts, appeared entire sections of Might is Right in London's own hand. Elated as I was, I was not surprised, knowing what I did of Jack London. If London didnt author what I saw, he liked it so much he made his own copy."

- Anton Szandor LaVey

"What I saw (upon discovering Might is Right in 1957) should not have been in print. It was more than in-flammatory. It was sheer blasphemy."

-Anton Szandor LaVey

Hail Anton LaVey! Hail Ragnar Redbeard! Hail Satan!
