Please reblog this because some of you put fascists on my dashboard unwittingly and I need you to Know… You need to Look…
Can I add the fact that they try very hard to discredit posts exactly like this one by calling them “paranoid” or “delusional” but what they really mean is that they genuinely thought these memes and slogans were brilliantly subtle and actually thought nobody else in the whole world was smart or observant?
“Globalist” is also another word to keep an eye out for. It originates in the idea that Jewish people have no allegiances to their country but instead to some global conspiracy. Ties back into the idea that they secretly rule the world.
Yes, lots of people use Wojaks, “Virgin/Chad”, bell curve, etc., memes and sometimes are using them to ostensibly make the opposite rhetorical argument.
But that’s the whole point of dog-whistles, isn’t it? Being able to blare them completely openly and feign innocence when one of your targets takes notice and complains?
One of the biggest issues with the “Dirtbag Left” is that they so very often are utterly indistinguishable from fascists. Even when not doing “ironic” antisemitism or misogyny or racism or transphobia, if you are clothing yourself in fascist symbols including memes but claiming it ironically, you are helping them to get into more spaces where ignorant and naive people won’t notice.
“What are you so upset about? Nordic Chad is funny. Dented-head Wojak is funny. ‘Cuck’ is funny.”
If you’ve heard, “the medium is the message” before, consider how that applies to memes that are eugenicist, white supremacist, eliminationist, and so on. How subversive are you really being by carrying your message on these things, particularly if their punchline is supposedly neutral (think: “girls with a time machine, 'I am your granddaughter’ ”).
For people who are the targets of fascists, they don’t have time or the luxury of giving you the benefit of the doubt and making generous assessments. So why would you cause a false panic in them by being around them, or by appearing in their social media exactly like a fascist; and why would you want to make it harder for them to discern among strangers instead easier?
The only thing worse than rainbow capitalism? Queerbait rainbow capitalism.
OK, so this definitely borders on making fun of The Satanic Temple just to make fun of The Satanic Temple, but somehow they managed to take rainbow capitalism and make it even worse last year.
Hail Pride ️ Pride Month is just around the corner and we want to take a moment to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community! In that spirit, we’re excited to announce that our new pride merch is available in the TST Shop at
OK! A buncha Satanists are queer people, esp. TST members. Let’s see what they had?
Sure. Yeah. Not everything needs to be “rainbowy” or in pride colors to represent queer pride, right? Of course not. Satanists tend to dress in black a lot. Fine.
But what about the buttons! The preview image made them look colorful!

Uh… that just looks like a random collection of “The Satanic Temple” pin-on buttons with the logo in various colors, including a few “The Satanic Temple - Salem”, which is the same location as the “Salem Art Gallery”, the physical headquarters of The Satanic Temple and where they sell a bunch of in-person merchandise.
Did- did they just throw together a bunch of buttons they already had on hand and then call them “Pride buttons”?
That does certainly seem the case, yes.
“Wait a second, @QueerSatanic,” we can already hear someone saying. “The Satanic Temple does great gay pride content year-round. So what if their Pride month collection was last minute. TST probably didn’t even think about needing it because they’re so oriented toward queer issues all the time.”
That is an absolutely great point to make, thank you so much not letting us go astray.
Indeed, TST logo patches doseem to include a TST logo with rainbow colors.
Anyway, look, The Satanic Temple would not be any betterif they were selling more rainbow stuff for Pride Month. Certainly, they’ve sold rainbow stuff in the past. It’s just funny that they didn’t bother to do anything for 2021 until the very last minute, and did the ol’ bait-and-switch with their marketing, disappointing a lot of people.

It really is a nice touch that rainbows are everywhere except the actual products they offered, right?
Speaking of Pride Month and The Satanic Temple’s interests there, let’s check in on New Jersey and how one trans member there is feeling about a local would-be chapter.
To be fair, “We will use your face to promote us, but we don’t want you involved in leadership, and we just want to make money off of Pride celebrations” is very on-brand for The Satanic Temple. As are the TSTer comments reacting to criticism as healthily as we’ve come to expect
we haven’t BEEN IN your home lately (thanks, panini) but if we had to guess, it’s missing one of these satanic antifascism tapestries. lucky for you, there’s an easy fix! treat yourself with one of these bad boyz that come in a variety of flags so people know EXACTLY what kind of gay you are.
(if you’re new here, proceeds benefit our ongoing legal battle with the satanic temple, and you can find all the info you’d ever want and more about that in theselinks. needless to say, we are exhausted and poor and your support means the world.)
Aswe’ve said before, defending yourself from a SLAPP suit is expensive. In honor of Gay Wrath month, we thought we’d do something a little different this year.
Donate $40 or more to our legal fund via any method, and get one of these double-sided 3-foot-by-5-foot Queer Satanic Antifascist Gay Pride flags.

We currently (May 31) have 9 in stock, but if they go fast, we’ll make more.
When you donate, send a screenshot of your donation/receipt or the name you donated under to flags[at]queersatanic.com along with a mailing address you want your flag mailed to.
Once you get your flag, please send us photos of you with your flag or tag us in them on social media! We’d love it even more if you took your flag to a Pride celebration wherever you are.
