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!

The campaign slogan writes itself.

Ron DeSantis: Putting Satanic chaplains in our schools since 2024

I'm sure his base will love that.

You assume republicans are capable of holding themselves accountable.

[–] partial_accumen 30 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nah, they modern day republican base operates on dog whistles. Near the next election, the Satanic Temple just needs to come out and thank DeSantis for his support with their effort on child outreach and how it wouldn't have been possible without DeSantis fighting for and passing the new laws.

Fuck, I think you're right. Progressives and libs seem to try to fight "conservatism" (fascism) using the same processes progressives themselves tend to value and support: communication, compromise, empathy, rationality, etc. They/we aren't perfect, but we as a group at least have some who tend to try.

Why the fuck aren't we also engaging like a bunch of degenerate apes when battling against christofascism? It's all "strong man right and good, weak man wrong and cuck" with them. Why don't we "out strong man" them? Trump has already shown us you don't actually have to be strong for them to perceive you as such, you just have to brag and bluster, like a yappy little dog.
