What age would you say you were happiest?

...when I was in elementary school.

Do you mind if I ask why, or is that too intrusive?

I'm fairly happy now, but I do think I was at my happiest when I held much more of that innocence and wonder (and the blissful ignorance?) I don't think it's gone, but it's hard not to get jaded over time.

I know your situation is different, but I’ve been through something somewhat relatable — my mom went through false court cases after surviving abuse, and I ended up in foster care because of it. Your videos helped me a lot during that time, more than I can really put into words. Saying "thank you" doesn't feel like enough.

You truly deserve peace, justice, and happiness — especially after giving so much of that to millions of people, long before any of that chaos started.

I totally get that trust has to be earned, and it makes sense you’re careful with people. But do you think there might be a time down the road when you’d feel comfortable letting your guard down a bit—like maybe letting some online people play video games with you or something?

I still had faith in humanity back then

If gaming happens it will be in the Onision discord.

I hope someday humanity gives you cause to regain it.

I'm sorry for what you've been through. This might sound silly coming from a complete stranger, but I'm glad you were able to find solace. They made me giggle during darker times, too.

Run for office

A Satanist like myself would never survive in the political sphere, forget the funding necessary to run in the first place lol. And im from the deep south. Running on a platform like mine would just be a death sentence.

The funniest thing about Satanists is they believe in God.

Atheism is the ultimate F-you to God. Satanism just seems to be playing along with the Christians.

You're genuinely a Satanist? And from the South?? That's fascinating! Can I ask what led you to that? What was the appeal?

I'm in the UK, and while we have a lot of contrarians and Goths and alternative people (I very much was one in my wilderness years), I can't say I know any Satanist.

I can't imagine that's popular with the people around you

I'm curious. Do you want faith in humanity back, even? Is it a matter of thinking it's hopeless? Or believing it's more harmful than beneficial?

With all due respect, not at all. Satanist are more complex than you're implying. Each one follows the practice a little differently than the other, but non of them believe in literal God or literal Satan (that would be a Luciferian).

The best way I can describe my "religion" is agnostic athiestic satanist. There's no proof either way (agnoatic) and due to that lack of empirical evidence, I dont have faith (athiest) but I follow/admire Satan/Lucifer from a literary standpoint, in such of his character/themes.

Ugh. Faith. Yeah give me my faith back so it can be ruined again.

Atheists don’t need God or Satan to make their point. They’ve moved on. Meanwhile, Satanists are still using Christian mythos as the foundation, even if just symbolically. So yeah, maybe you’re not praying to the devil, but you’re still operating in his universe. That’s what I meant.

Calling Satanism a religion while rejecting both deity and doctrine seems like branding for shock value more than substance.

Im not trying to sound mean or rude, but you just gotta read more, dude 😅 check out The Revolt of Angels, it lays out meaningful themes and ethos that has a much broader philosophical meaning than you think. Plus, idk how well you can speak on a religion if you dont have much experience in/with it or its literature. Not trying to be rude, just a friendly explanation 👾

you can use literary themes of a book that contains mythos without living under the structure of said book and believing in its myths. Its like Aesopps fables. I can acknowledge the meaning and morals of the story without believing in a talking tortise and hare. Like, you can pull out the ethos from the mythos without believing in the myth. Does that make sense?

My point stands—if you’re adopting the name, imagery, and themes of Satan, even symbolically, you’re still operating within the framework of Christian mythology. You can say it’s literary or philosophical, but the fact that it requires constant clarification proves it’s tethered to the original mythos. Calling it a religion while rejecting the literal elements comes off more like aesthetic branding than a fully independent belief system.

I like that way of approaching religion and philosophies generally - take and apply what's helpful, leave the dogma and the parts that don't seem right. A good example would be the golden rule from Christianity. I try to apply that in my own life, but I'm very decidedly not a religious person.

What distinguishes someone who finds value in some of the concepts from a Satanist, specifically? What are the practices? I find more obscure religions super interesting.

At this point, you find it safer to expect disappointment than expect people to live up to expectations? That makes me a little sad, honestly. But it's presumably based on your experiences, so I can't argue it's irrational.

That's an answer in itself, really, but fair enough. You're under no obligation to satisfy my curiosity. People are interesting - I don't mean to pry.

Do you have a favorite old movie in black and white?

Actually I’ve wondered this for a while, do you find you’ve become more jaded or critical of the world in general because of the witch hunt you experienced?

It was really messed up how the internet ganged up on you and made serious accusations without anyone being able to provide a lick of evidence. The same people that preach against internet bullying actively tried to drive you into exile, and worse.

I just genuinely don’t know how I could ever see humanity in the same light if I had that happen to me, and genuinely want to know how it has or hasn’t changed your view on people in general.

Thanks.

Find a long form content video type that is fun to make and you can post to all platforms.

Then post constantly for months.
