Stupid Satan always getting in the way of dictator misdeeds.

He's not too far off. It's called big business and big agribusiness from the US in the 1890' through 1940's if I'm not mistaken. These organizations came in and turned subsistence farming into monoculture farming which changed the economy. They for all intensive puroses enslaved the peon farmer. When the farmers revolted (introduction of Socialism) the US back autocratic dictators to put down the uprising and re-enslave the peon farmers. This lead to state sponsored para-military groups murdering, kidnapping, and torturing the populace. This in turn lead to the proliferation of illicit drug trade to make a living, and the multitude of street gangs warring for turf. Do I think it was a satanic cult- yeah initially. But I don't know about right now.

Perhaps you should learn what Satanism is as this is about as far from it as you can get and the whole Satanic cult thing is a myth based in psuedoscience that was pushed by evangelicals create a moral panic. It would almost be funny in it's absurdity if people didn't have their lives ruined over it.

There are real Satanists, I am one, it's an atheistic religion and has nothing do with evil unless you consider what evangelicals and catholics consider sin be evil.

That's "capitalism". Not satanism.

@PolyComrade There's no such thing as "atheistic religion". Atheists, by definition, don't practice religion.

Call it that if you want, I guess, but it's not.

@Paul4747 We
ll there's a lot of Satanists and Taosists and Buddhists that would disagree with you.
There is no god, and I strongly believe there is no soul or afterlife either, but that doesn't mean I don't have beliefs and values.

Religion is about shared values and beliefs, it doesn't have to be a belief in some superstition. Luecian Greaves has argued that this is where atheists often go wrong is by rejecting not just the fiction of god but also religion - which means giving up religous rights and protections - so that only those who hold supernatural beliefs get special rights and those of us that believe in science and rationality don't. Saying there is no such thing as an atheistic religion (despite the fact there are many) is to say that our beliefs and values are held less deeply and less sincerely than those that are supersticious. I reject that.

The Satanic temple has shared valued, and the 7 tenents, as well as it is a recognized religion and has fought various legal recognition cases in the courts. To be a Satanist is to be part of the community of Satanists who hold these deep shared beliefs.

Sarcasm mixed with some political rant.

The guy in the video didn't say anything that could be taken as from a satanic sect.
Ortega is a former guerrillero.
