You can only preserve Civic society if you are willing to stand up for your opponent and speak out against your ally
Struggling to find the sweet spot between Libertarian small government & and Socialists safety nets
- Americans: Don't worry. The next election is going to reset everything. The Democrats will fix it. The rest of the world: We are never going to trust your country again. Americans: HUH?!?!
- When have the Democrats ever fixed anything It's a good cop bad cop con game and the American voter keeps falling for it Democrats aren't fixing anything otherwise things would have been fixed already Democrats maintain their power/(corruption) Because of Republican corruption
- My thoughts on the CoS... As I said in my previous post about TST, I'm still relatively new to Satanism so I'm leaving room for developing my opinions but I like to think out loud and maybe others can give their thoughts or correct anything I've got wrong. This is my early impression of the CoS...

View full threadDoes anyone have the strength to do it all on their own? Like truly? I believe everyone needs a community, everyone needs support
- COS teaches me to be stronger individual which allows me to be a stronger member of the community COS teaches me to set healthy boundaries TST teaches me to use that strength for the betterment of the community Perhaps it would be best to call me a Baphometist 🤪 Balance in everything
- 💡⚖️ Yes exactly what you're saying. As everything in our world today It's binary black and white left and right TST COS but the world doesn't work that way I try to find balance These aren't opposing paths They're parallel paths. And at different times in your life you need one more than the other
- If I seem to be favoring COS at this moment it's simply because they get a lot of ignorance based hate from people that aren't even embracing the principles of TST I'm not endorsing them simply providing a counter perspective
- I don't follow all the alpha delta stuff so I'm not really sure what you mean here sorry
- Short answer a good leader draws people to them and everybody succeeds a poor leader forces others to follow them and often everybody suffers
- The strong are the ones capable of succeeding Not by tearing other people down but able to climb through their own strength while offending off weaker individuals trying to succeed by destroying them Strength doesn't destroy others to be strong Only the weak need to destroy others to be strong
- I think that's the biggest misconception people have when it comes to LaVey Satanism It's not success at the expense of others is success through personal strength inspite of others
- On greater magic we're back to the Baphomet. There's no moral call on light and dark right and wrong Greater magic is self-delusion which we would call bad. But it can be used to change your headspace for self-approvement
- As I'm typing this this thought kind of popped in my head so it's half baked You want us to understand Satanism throw all your concepts of right and wrong out the window and weigh right and wrong as equals Again really bad phrasing hopefully you understand what I'm saying
- Lesser magic is manipulation but greater magic is more than that isn't it?
- Short answer no Lesser magic is the manipulation of others. Charm body language phrasing your words a certain way Greater magic is the manipulation of yourself. Changing your headspace using ritual in theater.
