So... This post is directed primarily at fellow CoS folks, so know that if you are going to reply from the Liberal TST or loveably batshit theistic Satanist perspective:
Israel is committing genocide right now. Full stop. Satanic sin of harming children is DEFINITELY being violated daily. Over 5,000 children have been murdered with indiscriminate bombing because Hamas finally bloodied the bully's nose and killed some Israelis (normally it is just fruitless, easily neutralized rockets sent into Israel from time to time on the part of the Islamists, while Israel murders - - prior to the current holocaust - - Palestinian teenage boys almost daily for throwing rocks... If one reads any media other than mainstream US Jingoist / Zionist propaganda, you will be horrified... or not.
That said, how do people think / feel about what is going on right now? "Lex Talionis" applies to both sides, both sides are Abrahamic fanatic authoritarians that repress dissent over a book of fantasy garbage (but in reality are just seeking power, as animals do, and using the book to manipulate the weak and form alliances). The US supports "UNCONDITIONALLY" one side, and I know the legacy of CoS (and one of my primary points of divergence with it) is an ultra-nationalist, Yankee-doodle-dandy worship of the fucking US (whether because it is "muh freedom" country, because it is the winning team or simply because it is where most of us live and can thrive, full-stop). The US (and it's toady little bro Israel) is worse than the Nazis, in my opinion, for all the reasons that the Nazis are hated, at least. When genocide happens to white people (European Jews), those in power seem to care... otherwise, it is open fucking season. As a proud mixed-race Black man and thinking, anti-collectivist humxn animal, this bothers me. Fuck equality AND fuck hypocrisy... Where, if at all, do y'all stand. No judgment in this space from me (I have realized in the last several years that religion and politics are different facets of me, and I can lean into either at different times, in different spaces, as needed / advantageous).
I oppose my enemy not because I will win, and not because I am "right," but because he is my enemy. I also have a fucking heart and a limit to the cruelty I can / will tolerate. Thoughts?
I'm my own brand of Satanist. If I had to take a side in this, it would be Palestine. I definitely see Israel as the aggressor/colonizer/in the wrong. Of course, two abrahamic factions fighting each other just makes me shake my head in frustration. Sure, this is about more than religion but I know religion plays a huge part. Overall I don't have a dog in this fight and hope this ends soon.
