>>18643197if you read the Satanic Bible by Anton LaVey, and actually boil down its core tenants, the vast majority of ppl are satanists in practice. regardless of their professed religion, there is a nearly ubiquitous sentiment among people that you, the individual, have the power and sovereignty to dictate all the details of your life, that you alone are in control, that if anything good or bad happens to you, it’s your fault and ultimately it’s your responsibility to act wholly in your own self-interest at all times. this sentiment is everywhere, even on this website. much of what /pol/ idols like Rogan, Tate, Peterson, etc. advise is a kind of “radical self-reliance” e.g.
>If you can’t get sex you aren’t trying hard enough/you need to work out/get rich etc.there is no aspect teaching humility under a higher power, room for fate or destiny, or any instruction on how to build a community of trust and cooperation around you. just you and your wants and your desires and your fears. collapsing the entire universe into a singularity inside of your head where only you exist.
it’s a seductive kind of wisdom to be sure, but prostitutes are also seductive if you don’t contemplate the long-term consequences.
