The Elitist Amnesia of the Gothic Gatekeeper

Confronting Cultural Gatekeeping

Before you can call a modern anime like vampish E-girl bit a fake goth or that they are stupid and ruining the culture with their over sexualization and E-trash, you have to completely distort what goth originally was.

Modern gatekeepers protect a rigid, revisionist fantasy of the subculture one that insists goth was born out of a pristine, gloomy vacuum of anti-religion and all black clothing, tattoos head to toe and not all about pure black clothing, pale skin, and an obsessive fixation on vampires. The fact is its always been a mix of all these things and more. So the purist claims are frankly bullshit.

Also, a lot of the "black and white" styles were inspired by old Black and White TV shows and movies, of which such as The Addams Family and the Munsters that aired in the…

Hyperfixation on Far Left or Far Right Activism

Political hyperfixation, the obsessive, single-minded focus on political ideology to the exclusion of nuance, personal relationships, and pragmatic reality, has become one of the defining psychological and social features of the modern digital age. 

While ideological passion has historically driven social progress, hyperfixation on either extreme of the political spectrum (the Far Left or the Far Right) creates a toxic cognitive environment. 

Though their core tenets and ultimate goals diverge sharply, hyperfixation on Far-Left or Far-Right activism produces striking structural similarities: cognitive rigidity, moral tribalism, social alienation, and the erosion of norms.

I am not teaching what to think but how to think!

The Missing Narrative:

Why the Earliest Christian Texts Ignore the Nativity and the 16 Gods Claim is Complete and total Crap

I also refuse to tolerate fabricated claims, dishonest comparisons, and historically false narratives being pushed as justification to condemn and criticism the religions or beliefs of others, especially when it is all pulled from complete fictions, and detest so called smarter atheists that invent justifications for their atheism and them claim atheism is superior and makes them "smarter by default," which they are not.

Bad arguments remain bad arguments whether they come from religious fundamentalists, militant atheists, conspiracy theorists, or ideological activists. Deceit is deceit even when wrapped in the language of “skepticism,” “science,” or “rationality.” Simply identifying as an atheist does not automatically make someone more intelligent, more logical, more emotionally stable, or more psychologically healthy any more than identifying as religious automatically makes someone irrational or delusional.

Bullshit: Get over it. MAGA Warlocks and Witches exist. So what. So do leftist ones, so do communist ones, so do socialist ones, so do independents, etc. They are not a contradiction, a novelty, or a progressive invention. Historical facts and the actual structure of the crafts make the usual objections collapse. However, let them bitch. Its free advertising.

Mockery only demonstrates the ongoing ignorance of those imposing themselves on everyone else and what “they demand” it to be, while also preaching that it is whatever you want it to be. Also, if you don't have a better grasp on things like theology and diverse philosophies and just spout topic gibberish, the ignorance is your own.

Witchcraft, sorcery, and related practices long predate modern politics, Wica (later promoted as Wicca), and the 20th-century “Pagan” revival. European folk magic, cunning folk, rootwork, hoodoo, Appalachian granny magic, and various ceremonial systems operated…

The Pork Debate Crap Again

Its not what you think it is

Should we even be entertaining this debate, which is essentially being driven by the demands of Muslim fundamentalists to impose their dietary prohibitions on the public, when this whole food debate is pure bullshit to begin with?

The notion that public spaces must be fundamentally altered to accommodate specific religious sensibilities is nothing more than an attempt to impose a particular set of beliefs on the broader population. There should be absolutely no compromise on this matter.

The excuse of an "increasingly diverse culture" is complete nonsense and serves as a form of manipulation; America has been a diverse nation for far longer than all of this noise suggests.

Paradise Lost:

Satanists Don't Get It

Few literary interpretations are repeated more casually — and more inaccurately — than the claim that John Milton’s Paradise Lost portrays Satan as the true hero of the poem. The argument has become so culturally widespread that many people repeat it as though it were an obvious fact. Yet a close reading of the text shows that this interpretation relies heavily on selective reading, modern ideological projection, and confusion between narrative focus and moral endorsement.

Yet it is one of the many of such works many so called Satanists uses as a go to piece of literature they generally don't actually understand and demonstrate a profound lack of comprehensive literary skills.

THE COMPREHENSIVE EXPOSÉ:

Warlocks, Witches and Politics

Ever hear or get told this?

“A real warlock or witch can’t support MAGA or capitalism”?

The vast majority of modern witch-cult folklore is predicated on flawed and misleading evidence compiled by Margaret Murray in her 1921 book, The Witch-Cult in Western Europe. Murray’s extensive use of ellipses allowed her to selectively curate primary sources from witch trials to support her arguments while systematically excluding more fantastical accounts—specifically testimony regarding sexual encounters with the devil, infanticide, and flight—to instead force-fit a narrative of "nature worship" and prehistorical continuity. These "confessions" were extracted through the coercive, horrific methods of the institutional Church, frequently via leading questions. The primary source documentation of the medieval hunts is, therefore, largely composed of these coerced, pseudo-confessional narratives.

Religious Freedom Does Not

Override Public Order or the Rights of Others

Religious freedom is one of the core protections of the United States Constitution. The First Amendment guarantees the right to believe, worship, change belief, reject religion, speak about religion, and live according to conscience without government persecution. This protection exists because freedom of thought is a necessary condition of human liberty.

In the U.S. and around the world, acts of vandalism targeting religious sites are condemned as hate crimes. Legal experts, courts, and human rights organizations universally maintain that vandalism and violence are not protected forms of religious freedom or speech, and perpetrators face severe legal prosecution.

As of May 2026, U.S. federal and state authorities are grappling with an evolving security landscape characterized by the misuse of religious freedom protections and the targeted disruption of public and private spaces. Recent intelligence and investigative reports highlight a growing…

The Case for Absolute Political Neutrality in the Workplace

Firing someone for holding an opposing political view—even a view I personally disagree with—is fundamentally unacceptable. If we are committed to non-discrimination based on race, gender, sexual orientation, and national origin, then political affiliation must be afforded the same protection. The current climate regarding political expression in the workplace has spiraled out of control, and it is time we call it what it is: a failure of professional standards.

We are seeing this more and more:

• Fired for political views or party associations.

The termination of employment based on political views or party associations represents a troubling encroachment into the private lives of individuals. When workplaces become environments where ideological conformity is a condition of employment, the impact extends far beyond the office walls, undermining the foundational principles of a pluralistic society and individual freedom.
