Key Points of Wisdom
-
[01:16:56] “What used to be hidden or secret is now arrogantly brandished in public by Satanists who recruit openly and display macabre graffiti and gruesome mutilations in public places.”
Context: Quoting a 1980s documentary on the normalization of Satanic imagery.
-
[01:55:53] “You mean do what thou wilt? The libertarian credo. I’m telling you, there’s literally no… there really is not a difference. There’s not a difference between Satanism and MAGA boomers, in terms of the morality that they espouse.”
Context: On the ideological overlap between Satanism and libertarian individualism.
-
[02:35:02] “Whether you know that aside, like take away the goofy Satan costume, take away the, you know, the stupid rituals and all this other stuff. None of that’s even… is like, take away even if you want to be an atheist… If you were in this hyper individualistic mindset, where the universe does not extend beyond you, anything goes. And I don’t want to live in a society where that’s how everyone thinks.”
Context: On the dangers of extreme individualism.
-
[03:09:13] “It exists because it’s a selfish ideology. It’s an easy ideology to believe in. You know, it relieves you of any kind of responsibility for anything around you. Like I said, your universe ends at your fingertips. So you’re not responsible for anything else. And that’s a really attractive worldview.”
Context: On why Satanism and similar philosophies appeal to people.
-
[03:23:34] “You know, it’s good to have those discussions, but it just seems so much in the abstract when I can be focused on things that are real right now, like preparing for an economic collapse like the West has never seen before, like preparing for maybe another period of war that rivals World War One and World War Two, preparing my children for… paving a way for them to weather through that. And that’s what I’m focused on.”
Context: On prioritizing practical action over abstract ideology.
