I reject this two axis map.
Gnostics fall into 3 categories
1. The ignorable. This is most of thr groups, despite whatever media fame they achieve or crimes they might become infamous for because they dont actually know anything important, or anything at all perhaps. Agnostic gnostics.
2. The Marcionist Umbrella.
Groups in this branch present themselves as the good guys fighting against an evil ceator and escaping his prison creation. In as much as many revere Christ as a savior most of these people are harmless except anyone who stays around long enough will eventually encounter and may well be tempted by
3. Transgressive Satanists.
Groups in this category are the inverse of 2. They are gnostic but they hold no illusions about being the good guys, rather they believe gnosis is only attained through transgressing god's morals, ergo crime is their superpower.
3. is the real deal and should be feared and avoided at all costs. O9A or any other Bataillian group, anyone posting a black sun who understands what it truly means, will commit evil for evil's sake believing their godliness increases with each transgession. These are the beliefs of serial killers and child rapists and the like; at best they will be caprophagists . I assume their supernatural powers are totally imaginary but they are nevertheless extremely dangerous due to their perverse principle of seeking to harm basically anyone and everyone. They will only deceive on principle to avoid non deception. Beware.
