@mnswpr@poa.st Do people understand that I was right yet?

@adolf@nazi.social @mnswpr@poa.st

@mnswpr@poa.st theres a huge difference between the "satanic panic" in the 70s and 80s and pop stars with Jewish managers that literally worship satan and want your kids to also worship satan and be faggots

@guttersessions@poa.st @mnswpr@poa.st they are purposely downplaying and trivializing the concept of "satanic panic", which as im sure you know, was actually legit.

@jamie_birch@poa.st @guttersessions@poa.st @mnswpr@poa.st The Satanic Panic was a kike plot to discredit Christianity by making Christians jump at shadows, waste their political influence, and make fools of themselves in the eyes of the younger generation. You should be able to tell that just by noticing that the things they were calling Satanic were irrelevant and – most importantly – not Jewish.

@jimmyrustles@poa.st That's exactly my point. The shit they continuously freaked out about was not the real problem. I don't attribute that to ignorance but to intentional sabotage.

@jimmyrustles@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st @guttersessions@poa.st @mnswpr@poa.st yeah I was going to say the Finders all but proved that there was a legitimate side to it, albeit it was finked into dust by retards making it about D&D and metal music

@jamie_birch@poa.st @jimmyrustles@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st @guttersessions@poa.st @mnswpr@poa.st Definitely was legitimate, but the satanic panic is too nuanced for most normies to weave coherently into their political narrative.

@Frederickbushby@poa.st The intention and morality behind the Satanic Panic was absolutely legitimate, but the execution of it was sabotaged by Jewish forces intent on preventing it from having any real impact. And since there was no internal reorientation on the real threat, it's net impact was solely negative due to being delegitamizing.

@Insomnolant@poa.st Also a lot of attention was deflected to music metal, industrial, etc artists, movies, and D&D while members of the corporate, political, and intellectual elite were hardly suspected. I remember those times, despite what I said above, there were activists who knew the shoot like Fritz Springmeier but they were relegated to the margins.

@Frederickbushby@poa.st All I know is that my parents started crying and screaming about "Pokemon is Satan's way to get kids interested in Dungeons and Dragons, which gets you sent straight to Hell!" and it destroyed my faith in God for about 10 years. Because it seemed to me as a kid that if God really hated this little electric yellow rat so much, he must be retarded. It took a long time before I came back to God, and I'm so very grateful that I did, but I still curse the fools who created the Panic that made Christianity look so retarded.

@Insomnolant@poa.st @Frederickbushby@poa.st False teachings, bad teachings, and poorly explained concepts drive many away from the faith.

@Insomnolant@poa.st @Frederickbushby@poa.st When I was younger my parents stopped letting me watch Spongebob because of that one episode where they acted like they were married while raising a clam lol. In hindsight a bit of an overreaction since the entire situation was treated like a joke and doesn't feel like it was meant to actually push anything, but it was probably a good instinct.

@Insomnolant@poa.st @Frederickbushby@poa.st The right take would be “Pokémon’s gay, Digimon is the Godly choice.”

@VoidenRay@poa.st Very true. And it took me hitting rock bottom, buried in alcoholism and having been fired from Wal-Mart of all places before I was ready to hear God's voice speaking to me. I am eternally grateful that he did, but I still wish I could have avoided that path in life. Maybe there was no other alternative, I don't know. I won't second guess Him.

@Insomnolant@poa.st I have also done many things that I deeply regret. Do you listen to The God Cast?

@tengumatingpress@poa.st I remember that episode lmao! Honestly it was probably the whiff of smoke in a burning building. Spongebob went downhill fast. Your parents were probably wise to pull you out of it haha!

@VoidenRay@poa.st Yeah sometimes. I've been on there once to talk about David Javerbaum and his fake """Godcast."""

@Insomnolant@poa.st Everything after the movie was shit, you can tell Hillenburg really wanted to end the series with it. Band Geeks was the best episode btw, with the Graveyard Shift a close second.

@Insomnolant@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st Through hardship comes strength. While a part of me wishes I could’ve found a way to avoid my past issues/hardships, I learned from them and because I refused to give up I was rewarded as a result. For what it’s worth I’m glad you were able to keep on forging ahead.

@Insomnolant@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st That was a good episode, though Javerbaum’s cringe nearly gave me a stroke lmao

@RoyalJohnny242@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st Ah man it wasn't me forging ahead. I was literally at my absolute lowest point and ready to kill myself. I was being tormented by demons and felt like I was being ripped apart. I prayed to God to please help me, and he said out loud in a voice that wasn't mine: "You've been asking me all this time to help you, but you've never once rebuked the Enemy in my name." And it just hit me like a brick, like scales fell off my eyes, and I started rebuking Satan in Jesus' name. And that oppression stopped, the storm clouds within my soul rolled away, and I knew that I was saved. I can never ever forget that moment, and I can't honestly say I would have been able to believe were it not for God doing that. He has been so infinitely merciful to me that it honestly makes me feel entirely shitty for not managing to embody even a fraction of that mercy to others.

@RoyalJohnny242@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st Imagine how I felt, I had to listen to his stupid podcast multiple times in preparation for that episode, hahahaha!

@Insomnolant@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st To quote Stryper, “To Hell with the Devil.” I used to be a much more nihilistically angry person who tried to use weed and alcohol to try to temper myself. I deluded myself to think that I was “medicating” myself but I was just numbing and pushing down anger while I got into those weird true crime/violent criminal worshipping sections of social media which is not a good combo for a conked out emotionally vulnerable youth. I’m not the smartest when it comes to religious stuff but I decided to not spit in the face of and deny my maker by being a a human tick so I cleaned up (still drink on the weekends but I stopped toking and I don’t plan on going back anytime soon) got out of those weird communities and focused on improving myself by decrying those negative influences in God’s name

@Insomnolant@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st I do not envy that, I’m sorry for past you lol

@RoyalJohnny242@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st Yeah, I relate to that quite a bit. Never smoked pot but at one point I was drinking a handle of vodka in 2 days, trying to numb the pain of existence. When God spoke to me, he ended my alcoholism at the same time. I can even have alcohol in my house now without feeling the urge to drink it right away, which was something I never would have been able to do before.

@Insomnolant@poa.st @RoyalJohnny242@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st I tried pot once with a coworker, absolutely hated the experience and don't understand the appeal. Stimulants and psychedelics are the white man's drugs anyway.

@Insomnolant@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st I used to drink a lot more frequently especially in undergrad. The weed use became very compulsive, but then I decided that I couldn’t stay in a haze forever so I decided to stop in 2017. The night after that decision my “guy” offered me the last of his stash (a large amount for a decent price) I was tempted but then I saw this as what it was, a challenge from God, if I couldn’t say no to this then I would be nothing more than an animal unable to say no to pleasure. So I declined, and threw out my bong/vape and other stuff. Another thing which God gave me the strength to rise above from was not going back to those true crime communities that were just nihilistic, atheistic, truly vile cult like cesspits that fed upon the vulnerable and shat out monsters. Call me “authoritarian” but I’d ban those killer worship fandoms in a fucking heartbeat because they are so fucking harmful to vulnerable youth.

@tengumatingpress@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st I really enjoyed it which is the main reason I went on an indefinite hiatus. It’s like the junk food of substances

@RoyalJohnny242@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st I just felt paranoid and retarded while I was on it, which is basically my default state anyway. Glad you got off it, I know some guys who destroyed themselves with it.

@tengumatingpress@poa.st Yeah, I've tried pot since then and it just made me feel retarded. Like, I feel like I know what it's like to be a nigger, after having smoked pot. You're just dumb and slow on it. I don't get the appeal.

@tengumatingpress@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st It can become very habit forming very fast, and unlike alcohol you can’t “overdose” on it unless you smoke like 1500 joints in like a minute. Demon in a plant, true lotus eater shit. At least when I look back on my past stoner self. Like every night toking up levels of excess

@Insomnolant@poa.st @tengumatingpress@poa.st You might find this cringe but one of the ways I kept myself off of weed was my interest in film. At first I was like “Oh lemme watch X and get baked.” Then when I was prepping to quit I was like, “What kind of disconnected shithead thinking is this? Do you like film for the story/art or because you want something on the screen to primally react to while roasted?”

@Insomnolant@poa.st @tengumatingpress@poa.st not to sound like a stereotypical weedbrain but there are different strains that have different effects. some make you slow and stupid, others rev your brain up like crazy and make you paranoid. i haven't partaken (partook? idk) in weed in a decade but i remember that when i did that because i was always trying different strains that no two highs were ever the same.

@RoyalJohnny242@poa.st Yeah my mom really loves those true crime shows. I try to convince her that dwelling on the worst aspects that humanity has to offer isn't healthy, but she won't listen to me.

@RacistZikaBaby@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st @tengumatingpress@poa.st Yeah, Indica slows you down (the NyQuil of weed) and Sativa gets you more “active” (The DayQuil of weed)

@RoyalJohnny242@poa.st I'm glad you found motivation to stop!

@RoyalJohnny242@poa.st I'm not telling you not to watch it, I just wish my mom watched a lot less of it.

@Insomnolant@poa.st Yeah there’s a weird relationship between women and true crime material. I remember there was a coworker during an internship I did a few years back who was heavy into reading books about it even though she was a sweet middle age lady. Then again Eat Them Alive (aka one of the most batshit insane pulp horror books ever made) was written by a sweet old Midwest grandma who also wrote crime/murder thrillers so who knows what’s up with women and portrayals of violence. http://toomuchhorrorfiction.blogspot.com/2019/01/eat-them-alive-by-pierce-nace-1977.html?m=1

@RoyalJohnny242@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st I think women watch true crime the way otaku watch anime and pick out the best girls.

@RoyalJohnny242@poa.st @tengumatingpress@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st We all have our crosses to bear friend. Glad you are off the stuff.

@adalberht@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st @VoidenRay@poa.st @tengumatingpress@poa.st Thanks man

@tengumatingpress@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st Imagine I told you there was a book in which a psycho and his psycho “friends” (including a black described as being a psychopath who enjoys attacking kids and animals) torture an old rich guy to death only for the psychos to turn on the protagonist and castrate him after he tries to betray them for their loot. After that he ends up taking a bunch of giant mantises and uses them to exact bloody revenge on the other criminals and their families in excruciatingly gory detail. Well there is a book like that and it was written by this lady

@tengumatingpress@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st “Granny can you take us to the park?” “In a bit sweetie I’m almost done writing this scene where a mantis literally eats a woman out*.” “...Granny what the hell?!” *this actually happens in the book

@RoyalJohnny242@poa.st @tengumatingpress@poa.st I was going to post a picture of a praying mantis monster girl and make a joke about it being her eating out a woman but... Holy shit, praying mantis art is fucking awful. Bunch of guro shit on the booru. I regret trying to make that joke, now.

@SpookyNationalist@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st You may be able to find a pdf somewhere but unless you luck out in a secondhand bookstore it’s very much out of print. I got lucky and snagged a copy on eBay for 10-15 bucks as a two in one book with Fleshbait (sea creatures and fish attack people due to environmental stuff)

@Insomnolant@poa.st @tengumatingpress@poa.st Mantis girls need love too...just with protection I do have a soft spot for Eat Them Alive for how bonkers it is and the fact it came from the mind of a little old lady but it’s uh...not the best written book E.B. Stambaugh’s Mantis on the other hand is a much better written book about giant mantis mayhem, with some legitimately creepy scenes. There’s one scene where the protagonist is looking at his kids’ pet mantis Eloise eating a bug alive without mercy. Then he remembers how the end result looks a lot similar to the animals of a shelter and a human victim or two that were found broken apart not unlike Eloise’s food. Then the horror washes over him as it sinks in that there is a physically imposing , inhuman, creature out in his town tearing people apart and eating them alive.

@Insomnolant@poa.st @RoyalJohnny242@poa.st I just keep the guro tag blacklisted.

@SpookyNationalist@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st @tengumatingpress@poa.st I mean you’re gonna see a woman’s hoo haw get fangoriously devoured by a giant mantis, along with plenty of breasts getting eaten

@SpookyNationalist@poa.st @Insomnolant@poa.st @tengumatingpress@poa.st Autistic eBay scouring and pure luck is how I acquired half of my pulp horror paperbacks
