Doesn't strike me as entirely crazy. The principals of individualism do clash with the large-group judgments inherent to racism.

Yea this seems like a dumb take. It's not woke to be anti-racist. And CoS has always been anti-racist.

Yeah, wokies like to claim that anyone non-woke is racist. But the truth is that opposing racism has been a common American value for a long time. Real racists have been a minority for a long time. Remember, "All men are created equal."

They sold the fuck out a while back. But not over this. They swear abortion is a ritual because bodily autonomy and supported vaccine mandates. (not the vaccines, the mandates).

Then again I suppose I should have seen that one coming. satanists being massive hypocritical asshats ..who couldda thunk?

Nah that was The Satanic Temple. Church of Satan is a different uhh, denomination? of satanism.

Wait there are two of them?!

Yep. Church of Satan is a lot older and more established. Their beliefs are similar but not quite the same. Church of Satan is more ritualistic and superstitious, and they put a lot more focus on hedonism as a way to attain personal fulfillment. Generally edgier. The Satanic Temple focuses more on rationalism and activism, so if someone's a woke satanist they're probably TST flavor. Although "freedom to offend" is one of their core tenets so idk how these idiots reconcile the two.

Oh, then the one I've heard is TST then. A friend joined it because of rationalism and "freedom to offend"

Racism as in actual institutionalized oppression and hate crimes or “racism” as in “micro aggressions” and someone refusing to check their “White Privilege” and engaging in media they deem to be politically incorrect?

Because there is a difference.

The “Church of Satan” is basically

‘we’re a bunch of leftists that want attention with a cool name and to piss off Christians’

as said above youre not wrong, but not for this. they sold out but they were never down with racists.

The individual is the smallest minority.

The obvious flaw in the CoS argument is it's a society of indifference about the exploitation of others, as long as it serves the individual and doesn't undermine the CoS agenda(s).

They'll oppose racism against those within their group from other members.

But they don't care about the out groups.

An ideal philosophy for the elite, politicians, and other natural ladder climbers.

Then I'm going to be as racist as possible in Jesus's name. Amen.

How racist can you be if you worship him, though? Dude's name is Jesus. Isn't that proof enough he's Hispanic?
