re: #85 J. Bastard (Buttland Institute)
Oh, these guys I knew were major assholes, and not in an “egotist asshole” kind. They kinda veered into the whole fascism/Stalinism/Holocaust denial etc. (Yes, I’m talking about Russian Laveyan satanists).
I always thought LaVey’s shenanigans had a carnival / circus atmosphere to it. Like a Nietzsche-scented sideshow exhibit, and more than a little kitschy. I suspect a lot of that gets lost.
