Sep. 1—Sid Daoud had a normal start to his day on Friday, Aug. 9. He went to work, not expecting a night of political coaxing. When a plane arrived in Kalispell that afternoon to fly the Libertarian candidate for U.S. Senate to Bozeman to meet with Senate Republican hopeful Tim Sheehy and former President Donald Trump ahead of a rally, Daoud said that he was confused, but excited to talk about ...

    I’ll leave it to you to determine what THIS poster is.

    As I have noted in my previous comment, the vast majority of my posts are for workers rights, socialist causes, union issues, and education. I’ve contributed over 200 posts and comments to the Lemmy socialist community I created and that I mod. I’m a member of the Socialist Workers Party, and I support them financially.

      Don’t you get it?

      This poster is a Mormon Satanist Transracial Socialist Workers Party Kopimist Monk. Debt-free, Alcohol-free. Drug-free, Caffeine-free, Woke-free (famously something a leftist socialist would say).

      It’s in their bio so it must be true.

        Satanist, I could respect, although Satanism is a rather comical religion: basing the name of your religion on the villain of the holy book of another religion is pretty funny. But regardless, at least they’re pushing back against fundamentalist Christians in a way no other religion is.

        The rest of it is cringe, and the “woke-free” is a dead give-away, as you point out. The combination is disconcordant, which reinforces my suspicion this is a propaganda account.

            You’ll have to enlighten me, because I know very little about modern Satanists (I read some Crowley and his ilk decades ago), but doesn’t the Church of Satan (Satanists) believe in Satan? I thought they did, they just had their own version of the Bible where (the Christian) God is a bad guy and Satan is really the good guy.

              Aleister Crowley included barely Satan or Satanism in his writing, in the Church of Satan they believe Satan is “a name for the reservoir of power inside each human to be tapped at will”, Anton LaVey (the founder of the Church of Satan) says he Satanist’s concept of a god is described as the Satanist’s true “self”— a projection of his or her own personality, not an external deity. Satan is used as a representation of personal liberty and individualism.

              The Satanic Temple is a satirical religion that was established in reaction to the “intrusion of Christian values on American politics”.
