I haven’t listened to it yet. Academic articles take forever to go through a process, so this was mostly written in early 2025. I saw that episode came out pretty recently, but didn’t have time to listen to it. There was a whole lot more to say about current 09A and NSBM.

It’s as if LaVey, sui generis, created a system, totally out of the blue - despite quite a few people identifying as Satanists over a period of decades beforehand. And all this from someone who had to plagiarize his own big book from some racist rant from the 1890s

No, they weren’t Nazis either. The shooting was planned for April 19 and it had to be delayed.

Well, the prewar romantic & literary satanists weren’t Nazis! Also, there was a word limit which I already exceeded! For that matter, I barely talk about the satanic panic

Trump is making massive changes to the government, including seizing powers that are normally not held by the president, in order to create far-reaching change. but unlike FDR, who moved to the left, Trump is moving the country to the far right with these techniques

Only a bit of it is about O9A actually… I ran out of space and it wasn’t my specialty …a lot of it is about Nazi-Satanism’s origins in the 70s and 80s which is the context that 09A came out of, and a bunch of other questions that often don’t get addressed about Satanism & national socialism

in the article i go into how the TST founders have origins in this racist satanist scene, altho they have come to be pro-LGBTQ+ liberals. but the leadership remains anti-leftist and there are true antifascist and left-wing satanists including groups like @queersatanic.com
