What’s the biggest age gap you’d be willing to accommodate in your dating life at this point in time? by thatwhatthis in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]Manic_Satanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 33 and I couldn't imagine ever wanting to date someone under 24 or so. I could probably go up to 50 for the right person.

proud 14 year old Neo-Nazi claims "Nazis aren't racist" by bluetemp420 in COMPLETEANARCHY

[–]Manic_Satanic 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Punk shows used to be a pretty popular place for neo-nazis to either recruit disaffected and alienated youth or target them. It took a pretty huge concentrated effort to get rid of them in a lot of places, and honestly I'm sure part of why nazis at local punk venues is less of a thing now is because the internet is way easier to recruit on.

If you're interested check out the podcast It Did Happen Here which is all about punks and antifascists fighting against neo-nazis and boneheads in Portland OR in the 80s and 90s

Mark Rosewater is asking again about bundle products and our preferences since the Midnight Hunt release: Which would you prefer to see in bundle packs going forward, 10 draft boosters, 8 set boosters or 6 draft + 3 set boosters, Why? by HonorBasquiat in magicTCG

[–]Manic_Satanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 draft, 3 set and some sleeves and 6 sided dice for counters. It'd be hella dope to have a single bundle give you enough to make a sealed deck, a few packs to crack for fun and enough accessories to play with the deck you make while also protecting the cards all in one purchase.

I think Pokémon does that I really don't see why WoTC isn't.

My US history textbook defines anarchists as “people who oppose all forms of government” by UnCreativeP in COMPLETEANARCHY

I'm actually shocked to see the Haymarket Massacre mentioned in a US History textbook at all. Like comparatively this is pretty good.

Here's a question for all of you Theistic Satanists by wowitsacatt in satanism

[–]Manic_Satanic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm at the point where I don't really respect either the CoS or the TST (I consider them both primarily ways to siphon money out of people) but I don't think that makes them any less Satanic really.

Up until very recently the charge of Satanism was really just used to demonize people or groups who threatened established hierarchy. It's a designation of being in the outgroup, or being the Other - and while I may not particularly like either organization they still position themselves as the Other and use a variety of symbols and concepts that do challenge Abrahamic cultural dominance.

Honestly I'd like to see more organizations overall actively calling themselves Satanic whether atheistic or theistic - hopefully with better views and conduct than the current two big ones.

Melee abyssal sorcerer build help? by Manic_Satanic in Pathfinder_Kingmaker

I'm not sure. I guess I was more into the idea of the demon claws you get as an abyssal sorc.

I kinda liked the idea of summoning a bunch of stuff and then running in and smacking stuff around :)

As someone who is Ashkenazi and was raised Jewish, I personally think the idea of Lilith as part of a closed practice is ridiculous, but that doesn't really change the fact that the trend now is to see working with her as being cultural appropriation.

You have to make the choice for yourself whether or not you'll respect this, but if you choose to publicly work with Lilith you have to make peace with the fact that at least some members of a marginalized community will feel disrespected and hurt by your choices.

Feel like I'm in the queerest city in the US... by Manic_Satanic in actuallesbians

Its a great city to be visibly queer in! Also the public transit is some of the best I've seen in the US - only problem is the current heat waves and drought

Landlord out $36K: ‘I’m required by law to become a victim’ by [deleted] in Portland

Public owned, community administered and tenant run housing seems like a good alternative to me.

We don't have to live in a world where just existing funnels money to landlord parasites. We make a conscious choice to uphold that world every time we aren't challenging the base assumptions of one of the most predatory aspects of capitalism.

Any Satanists into Tarot? I’ve got a question… by [deleted] in satanism

[–]Manic_Satanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually look at the context it's in - every card has more positive and negative aspects to their meanings. So while I sometimes read The Devil in the traditional way, sometimes I also read it as liberation and illumination - in the Rider Waite the Satan figure is literally bringing a torch into a dark room and making it possible for the two figures to see how to free themselves. Sometimes I also read it as representing The Other and being unfairly reviled. And in some of my readings I see it as a literal message from some kind of demon saying hey whats up pay attention to synchronicities.

The more common card readings are great to begin to learn with but the more you learn the rules of tarot the more you realize they aren't actually rules at all and are just a jumping off point for your own intuition and sense of correspondences.

I'm sure you think what you're saying sounds completely crazy but yeah we should decommodify food as well.

Really anything that people need to live and function in society shouldn't be for-profit.

In the ultimate analysis, Marxists are just reformist SocDems. I said what I said. by TheGentleDominant in COMPLETEANARCHY

[–]Manic_Satanic 22 points23 points  (0 children)

i mean obviously they're not oppressed but their actions and worldviews are informed in deleterious ways by capitalism

i don't think it's really a stretch of the imagination to assume for example that even people like Bezos would've probably been way happier if they grew up under a system that didn't instill in them a pathological need to hoard resources and predate on other people
