Global Order of Satan and Satan Not Hatin' are thrilled to announce "Contra Odium" ("Against Hate"), a compilation album which will feature songs from some of our Satan Not Hatin' participants in support of charities who do work supporting victims of hate or who support musicians local to each of our participating Orders (Global Order of Satan - United Kingdom, House of Heretics, Satanistiska samfundet and Global Order of Satan: Steel City).

But inciting violence politically is, judging by recent events, absolutely fine.

Vorta for Borg Backup - for linux and MacOS. You use it remotely but I use it for local backup because a) its encrypted b) its Borg so awesome and c) easy to use. I just pointed it at my home directory, told it where to place the encrypted backups and how often to make them.

I've had to recover files twice and recovery is just as easy as set up.

Wouldn't it be better to just stop doing the thing that's making the existing reefs die?

Came here to say this. Fucking traumatising.

It's not an 'either/or' situation - both sets of people are culpable.

Want to see the direct consequences of unfettered hate masquerading as free speech? That would be Elon Musk, Nigel Farage et al spreading utterly incorrect rumours about migrants in the UK and goading right-wingers to set fire to hotels where migrant families are staying. Luckily no one was killed but do you think tutting and calling them idiots before you move on is going to change a thing?

Last week, our "Satan Not Hatin'" campaign - set up to challenge hate and far-right extremism in alt music scenes - welcomed it's 200th opt-in participant. That's 200 artists, bands, record labels, promoters, venues and other organisations not prepared to tolerate hate.

As well as the documentary on the project (which is still being shot), a Stockholm based radio show, Trigger, have announced they will be dedicating an episode to the campaign and playing bands that are participating!

You can read more about the campaign at it's dedicated website and details of how to access the Trigger episode (either as its broadcast via their website or the next day on their Mixcloud account) are also on the site.

We are delighted to welcome back our dear friends in Sweden, Satanistiska samfundet, as an official Order of Global Order of Satan after a hiatus of a couple of years. As the right-wing religious threat grows across Europe, Satanism in Sweden has seen an uptake in interest and after a surge in membership applications GOS Sweden are now ready to once again stand with us in active opposition. You can find them in the following places:

(side note - I'm hoping to get them active on the Fediverse too!).

Two days ago, LW started behaving very oddly. It suddenly stopped rendering pages - but only on some sites. For example, the default Lemmy skin is fine but the Alexandrite skin is not. The BBC website doesn't work either. A few others seemingly totally random.

The domain resolves and it makes the initial connection and then it takes up to a minute of doing nothing and then just craps out, unable to render the page. Checking the Inspector reveals no errors or warnings and the network inspector is making a connection but not loading anything other than headers and basic tags.

The page presents no errors it just shows a blank screen. <html> <head> and <body> tags load but nothing else.

All these pages work fine in all other browsers I've tested in (floorp, Mullvad, vanilla FFox and Brave).

Details: LibreWolf 128.0-2 (flatpak) on LMDE (Faye).

Any clues, pointers or advice very gratefully received. I love the browser and have it set up just how I like it so don't really want to switch to another.

Firstly, in an amusing turn of events YouTube removed the latest episode of GOSPod from their site. The reason? The episode - the subject of which was Satanic conspiracy theories - briefly mentioned the antivaxxers and YT said we were peddling medical misinformation. We appealed but nope. You can still hear the episode in all other places listed here.

Secondly, the S8N Not H8N campaign now has its own dedicated website as its was just getting too big (over 130 participants now) for one page on the main website to cut it. You can find that here: https://satan-not-hating.com and we also have launched socials for it too if you want to follow them:

The far right, emboldened and enabled by political leaders such as Nigel Farage, are currently engaged in a wave of misinformation-driven violence that is in danger of engulfing the UK. See it for what it is - extremist thugs manipulating the totally unrelated murders of children to further their fascism.

They are using the tools of right wing social media outlets to organise and spread their misinformation and hate via the usual suspects - Tommy Robinson, Katie Hopkins, Andrew Tate, Elon Musk etc.

How can we fight back?

One way to effectively fight back is to support groups like Hope Not Hate and their 'Hold On To Hope' campaign: https://hopenothate.org.uk/hold-on-to-hope/ where you can sign up to lend support, keep abreast of developments and donate if you are able to.

If it is safe for you to do so, another way is to talk positively about multiculturalism on your social media presences and challenge the prejudices you encounter. This country was literally built by thousands of years of multiculturalism with hands and minds from many places and of many colours creating the very best of it. We must never let the far right deny that reality or allow their misinformation to gain a foothold.

EDIT: Here is a list of UK wide anti-racism protests being held this coming weekend: https://standuptoracism.org.uk/stop-the-far-right-national-day-of-protest-saturday-10th-august/

A member of our UK Order took time off from our own podcast (https://gospod.chat) to be interviewed on the Spiritually Incorrect podcast about Satanism and GOS. You can listen to the whole episode on their website (also contains links to other podcast supporting platforms).

If you decide to not use StickerMule again, as the org I'm part of now has, I'd suggest that rather than simply not using them to login to your SM account, then contact them via their Support interface and ask them to remove your account and all data associated with it or direct them to tell you how you can do it yourself and end by telling them exactly why.

On December 12, 2023, within the corridors of the Polish Parliament, a scandalous incident occurred, exemplifying extreme discrimination and a lack of respect for the freedom of conscience and religion. During the ceremonial lighting of Hanukkah candles, Member of Parliament Grzegorz Braun extinguished them using a fire extinguisher. Following the incident, Braun gave an interview to the tabloid Super Express, justifying his actions by claiming that “the act that took place in the Parliament was a religious act, deeply satanic in nature” and that “it would be a betrayal of his principles to tolerate and ignore Satanism.” Thus, in the view of the Global Order of Satan, Braun’s act resonated not only as anti-Semitic but also as anti-Satanic. For this reason, one of the members of our community has filed a complaint with the prosecutor’s office, citing a justified suspicion of committing a crime under Article 196 of the Penal Code(commonly referred to as ‘the insult to religious feelings’) to the detriment of one of our members.

A documentary about our Satan Not Hatin' campaign is underway!

An award-winning documentary filmmaker — who has also directed numerous high-profile music videos for metal bands — was intrigued by the campaign, and by Satanists working towards positive change in the music scenes we love. They are now in the process of interviewing participating bands...watch this space for more updates on this exciting development.

Meanwhile the campaign progresses apace, with nearly 70 participants signed up! If you, your venue, or bands you know would like to join in you can get in touch using the form on our website at https://gos.pm/snh . Let's make sure we're all #protectedbythepitchfork

It's amazing how many snowflake comedians start crying about being cancelled and then go on to have numerous netflix specials about it. Almost like they were never actually cancelled in the first place but they learnt that if they said they were enough times, the terminally dim people who enjoy their material will pay money to see their bully fantasies played out on stage by an old rich guy.

Elon: "100% free speech, always!"

MediaMatters: "Here's evidence Musk is an antisemite."

Elon: "I'm suing you for speaking freely!"

Just a reminder to my American friends that everyone was absolutely positive there was no way Trump would get elected in 2016. You sleptwalked into a near dictatorship because everyone agreed the idea that he could win was a big joke. There's very real possibility that a refusal to believe he can do it again will mean he does do it again. And if he does, I don't think it'll be a near dictatorship you have to live in.
