* Why Satanists should stop crying about free speech.* If you live in America, you are told that you have inalienable rights, and that all men are created equal. We know both of these statements are lies.* There is no such thing as equality, and every right we have, comes with restrictions.* Why then are Satanists who inherently are a counter or sub culture, so obsessed over a public corporation restricting speech on their platforms? * We are supposed to not be forgetful of past orthodoxies, like when we were demonised for existing, and yet we cry when popular culture rejects us. OF COURSE THEY DO* I thought that was part of the point. We didn’t want to be part of popular culture, and yet there you are, engaging in it at every opportunity, flying your bad guy badge* Why are you a Satanist? Is it to show other people how edgy you are, or is it to be yourself, for yourself? * Why do you use public forums to share your edgy ideas if that is not what you should be doing as a Satanist? How is that helping you as an individual?* Why should you care if a public arena doesnt want your voice, YOU SHOULDN'T WANT THAT PUBLIC ARENA!* Your free speech isn't being hampered, just your ego, when you are banned from a public platform. You shouldn’t have been there in the first place. You are acting as a member of the herd, the very herd you propose to dislike or reject.* You are the very thing you hate.

But we should not forget the legislative event that this long-planned insurrection coincided with, and indeed was largely motivated by. Some eight Republican senators and 139 Republican House members objected to the Electoral College vote tallies in Pennsylvania and Arizona confirming President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in. As has been written previously and exhaustively, these objections were always doomed to fail.* But the objections did their job of providing a public spectacle and a rallying cry for insurrectionists. It prolonged and drew attention to a process that, for nearly every presidential election, has served as a rubber stamp. It served as a chance for Republican members to signal their fealty to Donald Trump above all else. It gave them an opportunity to say that they would rather lose American democracy than see Trump lose an election.* Importantly, some members protested the presidential election results in their own states. That is, they objected to the electoral systems that put them in office. Others objected to the elections that put their new colleagues in office.* Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., was sworn in on Sunday as Doug Jones’ replacement — one of his first acts as a senator was to object to a free and fair election. Indeed, he did so after Wednesday’s violent events. He was one of three newly minted senators to register objections to one or both of the states.* In the House, the number of first-time lawmakers opposing Electoral College vote tota...
