If you don’t feel like watching a two hour video about The Satanic Temple but still want info, I’d recommend this Newsweek article.

If you’ve already watched it, here are some additional comments regarding this video as provided by QueerSatanic on Reddit (slightly edited for formatting):

On lawsuits

The chilling effect of The Satanic Temple suing Newsweek (and its reporter as an individual) for defamation over the magazine’s story in October 2021 can’t be overstated.

Everything has been dismissed except for the question of whether TST is a public or private figure (it’s almost definitionally a public figure) and whether they were defamed by the article quoting someone about sexual abuse in the Temple; all the other ~20 claims got tossed by the judge.

But as Dead Domain’s video showed, it’s not like there is a paucity of evidence for the remaining claim, either.

If you want to dig into the court docket for the Newsweek SLAPP, this is the magazine’s last filing (1)(2), which TST handwaves away as “Internet hearsay” in their reply.

On bigotry

Dead Domain may have been required to use that “I think it’s OK to hate Jews” clip because it’s the most infamous one and the one that has been addressed publicly at all.

However, the beliefs on eugenics are so much worse, plus the casual racism and the praise of literal fascism. (Examples).

“I went to Italy and got a fascist shirt, and I loved how clean that part of town was” is something that made it into the video, but people still willing to give TST’s owner the benefit of doubt are basically saying they don’t care to learn how bad he actually was at the “young” age of 28, and they don’t need any proof of change other than not hearing those clips anymore.

Fifteen years later at age 43, TST’s owner was still running his website called “Dysgenics . com”
