Censorship is often sold to the public as a necessary safeguard: to protect children, to prevent hate, to maintain public order, to stop the spread of “dangerous” ideas. But scratch the surface, and what you find beneath is not virtue—it’s a deeply rigged system of power, obedience, and selective silencing.

At its core, censorship isn’t about protecting society. It’s about protecting systems. Systems that profit from compliance and punish deviation. Systems that allow the rich and powerful to say and do anything—no matter how vile—because they can afford lawyers, lobbyists, and PR firms to sanitize their words and actions. Meanwhile, the average person, the artist, the dissident, the outsider, gets crucified for daring to speak an uncomfortable truth, write or create something transgressive, or even just challenge the status quo in fiction or thought.

It’s a pay-to-play game, and most people aren’t even allowed on the field.

The laws themselves are intentionally vague—terms like “harmful,” “obscene,” “misinformation,” “extremist”—all entirely subjective and left up to whoever happens to be in power or whoever screams the loudest. One day a book is literature. The next, it’s contraband. One day a comedian is edgy. The next, they’re a criminal. It’s arbitrary by design.

A glaring example of this weaponized vagueness is the Miller test, which is used in the United States to determine whether a work is legally obscene. It asks whether the material appeals to “prurient interest,” violates “contemporary community standards,” and lacks “serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.” But here’s the problem: who defines that? What counts as “serious value”? What community? What standard?

We don’t live in a monoculture. Humanity is not a hive mind. What’s art to one person is trash to another. What’s disturbing to some may be necessary, cathartic, healing—or revelatory—to others. The idea that a judge, jury, or panel can speak for the full spectrum of human experience is both arrogant and terrifying. No single person, no institution, no temporary cultural consensus has the right to dictate what all of us are allowed to imagine, express, or create. The Miller test enshrines subjectivity as law, and that is a direct pipeline to censorship by personal bias and ideological agenda.

Why? Because vagueness is a tool. If the rules are clear, they can be challenged. But when they’re murky, they can be bent to punish whoever the mob—or the elite—decides is problematic. It’s not about principles. It’s about leverage.

Power uses censorship selectively. The rich, the famous, the politically aligned—they get passes. They can say horrific things or create deeply disturbing work, and it’s called “art” or “critique” or “nuanced.” But when someone without that protection says the same thing? They're “radical,” “dangerous,” “a threat to society.” The difference isn’t in what’s said—it’s in who says it, and how much power they hold.

And perhaps the most dangerous extension of this selective silencing is the criminalization of fictional content. Let’s be crystal clear: fiction is not reality. Fictional characters are not real people. No matter how disturbing, offensive, or upsetting a story may be, if there is no real victim—no actual harm—then there is no crime. To arrest, fine, or imprison someone for creating, imagining, or depicting something that exists only within the realm of imagination is not just absurd—it’s dystopian. It's a thought crime disguised as moral justice.

Storytelling has always been how we explore the limits of human nature. From Greek tragedy to religious parables to modern horror, fiction lets us confront the unthinkable in safe symbolic form. To censor it because it makes someone uncomfortable is to say, “you are not allowed to imagine this.” That is tyranny in its purest form—not protection, not justice.

Censoring fiction is not about protecting victims. It’s about manufacturing them where none exist. And in doing so, the state or the mob inserts itself as both victim and executioner. That is not moral clarity—it is authoritarian theatre.

This double standard doesn’t just suppress expression—it regresses society. When fear replaces dialogue, growth dies. When people are afraid to explore difficult topics, to express uncomfortable truths, to create controversial fiction, we lose the ability to process the darkest aspects of the human experience in any meaningful way. We become superficial, fragile, robotic. Culture becomes corporate. Art becomes propaganda. Expression becomes a risk—unless you’re already protected by money, connections, or ideological purity.

And the worst part? Many people cheer it on, thinking they’re on the “right side.” They don’t realize that once the mechanisms of censorship are normalized, those same weapons can—and will—be turned on them. The mob has no loyalty. The system has no conscience. Today it silences the people you hate. Tomorrow, it silences you.

Censorship doesn't care about truth. It doesn't care about safety. It cares about silence—the silence of dissenters, of questioners, of artists, of thinkers who don’t conform. And in a world where the loudest voices are the ones most shielded from consequence, we must ask: who gets to speak freely, and why?

The answer is clear. Freedom of expression isn’t distributed based on ethics or harm—it’s distributed based on power. If we don’t push back against that, if we don’t fight for the right to think, to speak, to imagine—even when it’s messy, uncomfortable, or transgressive—we are complicit in building a society that is as fake as it is afraid.

And make no mistake: a society built on fear of speech is one that has already lost the war for its soul.

This affects YOU! 🖤

There's a troubling paradox of our time: people are increasingly drawn to others who reflect their values, tastes, and ideas—but often recoil in anger, disgust, or even aggression when they discover that those same people are, in fact, individuals with their own perspectives. What begins as admiration or intimacy can rapidly dissolve into betrayal the moment ideological differences surface.

Why is this happening?

At the core of it lies a growing inability to separate connection from conformity. Many people, knowingly or not, base their relationships—romantic, platonic, even professional—on a kind of unspoken ideological compatibility. In this framework, love and respect are conditional: they depend not on who you are as a person, but on how closely you mirror the other’s beliefs and identity. Disagreement isn't treated as a sign of independence or healthy dialogue, but as a kind of treason.

This is where relationships break down—not because someone changed or lied, but because the other person expected them not to think for themselves.

It’s deeply ironic: people often say they want "authenticity," "diversity," and "open-mindedness," yet when faced with someone who genuinely thinks differently, panic sets in. The illusion of connection shatters. Rather than confronting their discomfort, they project it outward: labeling the other person as dangerous, toxic, or morally compromised. In extreme cases, they attempt to destroy that person socially—through gossip, public shaming, or character assassination.

All because they couldn't handle the idea that someone they liked wasn’t a clone of themselves.

This behavior mirrors the worst aspects of cult psychology. Cults don’t allow deviation. They require total buy-in. You’re either with us or against us. And sadly, many people—especially in hyper-online environments—carry that same binary mindset into their personal relationships.

What’s lost in the process is the very essence of humanity: our complexity, our contradictions, our individuality.

Real connection—true, resilient, soulful connection—only becomes possible when we stop expecting others to validate our worldview and start appreciating them for who they are, not how well they reinforce our identity.

Otherwise, every friendship becomes a purity test. Every romance becomes a checklist. And every disagreement becomes a war.

Until we can tolerate difference without immediately trying to fix, cancel, or eliminate it, we will remain trapped in shallow, fragile relationships—built not on love and respect, but on agreeability and compliance.

Has anyone written and published a book before? If so, what was your experience? How did you go about it? I'm genuinely curious and interested. I'm in the final polishing/editing stages of my novel and will go to print in less than a month. I'd love to talk with others who've done the same.

Thanks for your time! 🖤

There’s a strange entitlement some people bring when they interact with real artists—this idea that the artist owes them something emotionally, ideologically, or socially. That the artist should validate their worldview, behave politely, or be a brand ambassador for their preferred belief systems. And when the artist doesn’t do that—when they’re brash, dismissive, contradictory, or offensive—they get angry. Offended. Hurt. They walk away muttering, “What an asshole,” completely missing the point.

They’re not talking to a friend. They’re talking to a black mirror—someone wired to expose, not comfort.

Real artists aren’t in the business of affirmation. They’re not there to coddle your ideology or reflect your curated self-image. They’re often deeply confrontational because they’re committed to a brutal honesty most people spend their whole lives avoiding. An artist’s job isn’t to make you feel good—it’s to make you feel, period. That includes horror, shame, guilt, disgust, contradiction, ecstasy, confusion—everything that shakes the delusions loose.

You don’t get to ask for “truth” and then complain when it’s inconvenient. You don’t get to admire someone’s work for being raw, visceral, or visionary and then recoil when the person behind it doesn’t subscribe to your sanitized social expectations. That’s not how it works.

Real artists have seen too much. They’ve scraped at the underbelly of existence and found blood, rot, beauty, transcendence, filth, and sacred terror all woven together. They reflect that. Not your politics. Not your brand. Not your ego.

If you're offended, uncomfortable, or destabilized by them, good. That’s the point. That’s the doorway. Most people will never walk through it—and that’s why most people aren’t artists, in reality.

Art isn’t here to make the world prettier. It’s here to expose what the world really is.

People aren’t outraged by lies—they’re outraged by recognizing something real that they want to avoid. The artist doesn't create that darkness. They just expose it. It's up to you how you choose to digest it and react to it.

Stop shooting the messengers!

Much Love and Respect! 🖤

I’ve always loved erotic art.

I created it. Collected it. Lived it. For most of my life, it was one of the rawest forms of honesty I knew. But at some point over the last decade or so, that honesty was drowned out.
Erotic art didn’t disappear—it was buried under a flood of something else. Something loud. Empty. Mechanical. Profitable. So I decided to stop creating it. Not because I had nothing left to say—but because our culture forgot how to engage with it.

We’re oversaturated. Drenched in s*x. Every scroll, every swipe—an endless barrage of bouncing body parts and s*xual sales-pitch loops, followed by links to “spicier content” behind a paywall. It’s not erotic anymore. It’s just... there. Relentless. Predictable. Boring. S*x has always sold, but this isn’t just selling—it’s reached critical mass. An epidemic. The intimacy, the danger, the revelation—all of it flattened into algorithm-friendly repetition. And when something’s everywhere, easily accessible and in your face 24/7 whether you like it or not, it loses its power and purpose. Its awe. Its mystery. Its soul.

Even fetishism, once a space for confession and contradiction, has been reduced to aesthetics. Something to brand. Something to farm engagement with. Everyone’s performing desire now—not because they feel it, but because it might go viral. That’s not eroticism. That’s mimicry.

And I get it. People are struggling. Many turn to s*x work or content creation out of desperation. Because they’ve been told it’s empowering, fast, easy money. But the truth is rarely spoken out loud: most won’t get rich. Most burn out. Many regret it. And when they do, the platforms don’t care. The content is permanent. It can’t be taken back. It’s owned. Monetized. Recycled. Forever. Even when they want out, the system keeps profiting from what they can no longer undo.

This isn’t some moral outcry or judgment of people trying to survive. I understand that a job is a job. But we have to stop pretending this is all liberation and empowerment. It’s not. It’s a brutal market. A machine. And when erotic expression becomes just another hustle, it dies as art.

But the decay runs deeper than that. It’s not just eroticism that’s lost—it’s art itself. We’ve forgotten what it’s for.
Art isn’t meant to affirm you. It’s meant to confront you. To reflect the things you’d rather not face. But we’ve created a culture that is so delicate that it can't tolerate discomfort, contradiction, or anything that challenges the "acceptable world views" anymore. People no longer engage with art to be changed—they approach it like a threat to their identity. And so they attack and destroy it and its creators, just for making them feel something they didn't like, or simply can't comprehend.

The worst part? The censorship isn’t actually coming from governments or religious institutions so much anymore. It’s coming from inside. From within the very communities that once protected transgression. Underground art spaces. Fringe circles. Supposedly radical scenes.
All are now infected with hoards of "moral" gatekeepers—on every side of the spectrum. Left, right, doesn’t matter. Everyone’s policing everyone. Everyone’s watching. Everyone’s posturing. And none of it has anything to do with truth or meaning. It’s all performance.

Even extreme art scenes have been sterilized. Safe. Compliant. Policed by people raised on screens, living online and in their own heads—people who can’t tell the difference between actual harm and ideological challenge. Who’ve likely never had to experience reality directly, and only interpret it through devices and performative outrage, to garner likes, approval and validation from their "righteous" peers, and to make sure they have content. Gotta have that raging river of neverending banal vomit to make sure they stay relevant and engaged with the machine. So, they punish what they don’t understand. And artists, in turn, censor themselves out of fear.
Not fear of critique—but fear of annihilation. Of being deplatformed. Doxxed. Threatened. Having their lives destroyed. Their families stalked. Their friends harassed. Because today, creating something honest is enough to make people want to hurt you, under the guise of "accountability."

And that’s the real tragedy. It’s no longer just difficult to create something challenging. It’s become physically dangerous to even try. So we stop. Or we soften. Or we speak in code. Because anything too raw, too honest, too unresolved could bring the mob. And every artist knows it.

I stopped creating because of this. Because I saw what it was becoming. People no longer wanted to feel—they wanted to perform being correct. They didn’t want art—they wanted confirmation.
And anything too real became a liability.

So now, I’m convinced: people who don’t understand art should no longer be allowed access to it until they've studied it and experienced enough real world life to be able to process and digest it like mature adults.
Not to gatekeep—but to protect the thing itself and the people that create it from the ignorant, violent masses.
Because too many now come not to challenge themselves—but to seek more reasons to be offended so that they can create content, thus perpetuating the endless cycle contributing to the downward spiral we've been in for well over a decade now.
To screenshot. To posture. To punish.
And in doing so, they reduce art to generic, regurgitated, safe content, and that empty content just becomes more additions to the ever-increasing noise of the machine.

I still believe in the kind of art that bruises. That seduces. That says the unspeakable. That rips through the noise and leaves you wrecked.
But I’m not offering it to this culture anymore. Not until we've grown up again. Not until we remember that art and eroticism aren’t products—they’re experiences. They’re not supposed to be safe. They’re supposed to change you.

Eroticism didn’t die because we became too free. It died because we commodified everything. We confused exposure with expression. And we sold its soul for clicks, validation and profit.

Art didn’t become too dangerous.
This culture just became too fragile—and too performative to understand it.

I’m not interested in feeding a machine that punishes meaning and rewards mimicry. I don't want to just contribute to the noise while simultaneously risking my life. I'm not comfortable with sharing my personal art until we’re actually ready to feel again as a culture. There's just no point anymore... and that REALLY fu***ng sucks!

Much Love and Respect! 🖤

You should never support individuals or groups that do not support you—especially those with a verifiable track record of attacking, belittling, and attempting to cancel anyone who doesn’t blindly adhere to their leader’s personal beliefs. Respect is a two-way street, and any movement or organization that punishes independent thought or disagreement with harassment and condemnation is not worthy of your time, energy, or allegiance.

It’s also deeply unwise to trust people or groups who claim to represent one thing while acting in direct contradiction to it. When a group uses a label—be it Satanic, Occult, Pagan, or otherwise—yet behaves like a cult led by a self-serving dictator, their true motives become clear. These leaders don’t care about the community or the values they pretend to uphold. They care about control, obedience, and building their own following by lying to gain your support.

Anyone who insults, shames, or bullies those who question or deviate from their imposed ideology is not a leader—they’re a manipulator. Supporting such people only fuels toxic, authoritarian dynamics and further damages the very communities they claim to represent.

Do your Will, but choose wisely!

Much Love and Respect! 🤘🖤🤘

I find the behavior of many self-proclaimed Satanists not only misguided, but deeply undermining. What’s being paraded under the Satanic banner—performative outrage, public spectacle, and victimhood disguised as activism—stands in direct opposition to the core tenets of Satanism.

Satanism is not about mimicking the religious mindset we reject, nor is it about pleading for recognition from institutions we’ve consciously chosen to transcend. It is a path of individual sovereignty, disciplined thought, and personal accountability—not herd theatrics, attention-seeking, or entitlement.

What we see instead are those who mock, provoke, and instigate—approaching the world with aggression and hostility, all while demanding to be seen as victims. To mirror the very behaviors we claim to oppose—demanding equal treatment within systems we reject—betrays the essence of Satanic philosophy. It reveals not strength, but dependency. Not rebellion, but conformity. And it distorts a worldview built on self-mastery into a caricature of grievance.

This is not Satanism. It’s an insult to it—and it sets us back decades.

I've been spending most of my time outside of work just creating and doing research again, steering clear of all social media as much as possible, treating it like the mental and emotional plague that it is.
It's been good. Really healthy and satisfying just going internal again and not worrying about who's doing and saying what online and feeling as if I need to counter it, reminding others that we're all human, in this together and to come back to the center again rather than swinging so far into the irrational, knee-jerk, emotional and fanatical extremes.
I've mostly stopped attempting to offer rationale and solutions in an environment where they're unwelcome. Where polarization and division are the points rather than just byproducts of social interactions.
Being back in the creative flow again has been interesting and extremely refreshing. It's been many years for me. I've missed it more than I realized and it's brought me back in touch with the personal inner workings of my thoughts and ideas.
Most of what is considered creativity today is sort of a competition of repetition more than anything, from what I've witnessed. It's a bent toward what sells and what's popular more than actual, raw internal creativity from the source itself. The real thing has a VERY different flavor. It's not based on any external influences or guidelines. I HIGHLY recommend it! 😉
As satisfying as it's been, a funny thing happens about halfway through the creative process. I start to question myself. A sort of doubt or imposter syndrome kicks in and I begin to wonder if what I'm doing is any good in reality. It really doesn't matter if it is or not, that looming dread rears it's ugly head again no matter what and forces me to try to view it from a different perspective and maybe even get honest external opinions if I feel it's truly necessary.
I usually see every project to completion but the feeling remains...does this suck? Even if it does, it's ok. It's the journey that counts, and it's FAR more fulfilling than most of the time I've ever spent on any social media platform.

I'd like to permanently migrate off of this cesspool of hatred and fanatical bias to a platform full of rational people, free of group think propaganda and rhetoric tempered with blanketed calls for cancelling and murdering anyone who doesn't just blindly agree with the mainstream narratives 110%. Any suggestions of a place where we can have inconvenient and uncomfortable adult conversations about our shared reality without fear of being lynched by mentally ill lunatics? Are you somewhere else and afraid to mention it publicly for fear of the "diversity-minded, tolerant and inclusive" cancel mob coming after you to destroy your life and plan your murder? DM me so we can move elsewhere together and start with a fresh slate free of this disgusting sewer of intolerant hatred and violence.

We have so many options today. SURELY this bitter and stubborn old dinosaur of a platform isn't the best we can do! 😮‍💨

Much Love and Respect! 🖤

The historical separation of the exoteric and esoteric realms of knowledge is often misunderstood as a deliberate control mechanism employed by elites to hoard power and keep the masses ignorant. While true that most of the elite political and religious groups of today have abused this separation and used it to their advantage throughout history to exert control in order to gain power over and extract profit from the masses, the ACTUAL roots of this division lie in the recognition of the dangers posed by unchecked groupthink and the fanatical ignorance of excitable masses who, rather than engaging in individual thought and research, adopt the beliefs of their social or ideological group as their own. This uncritical conformity to collective ideas often leads to harm—both reputational and physical—when these individuals, convinced of their own virtue, act without evidence or nuanced understanding. This cycle has repeatedly shown that what is deemed virtuous by the group can become a justification for violence, exclusion, and even the destruction of lives and businesses.

Throughout history, human societies have struggled with the tension between individual discernment and the tendency of the masses to fall into echo chambers. Groupthink, where individuals conform to the prevailing views of their community or social circle, often drowns out dissenting or nuanced voices. More troublingly, this phenomenon leads to the adoption of beliefs or ideologies without rigorous questioning or evidence. These unexamined beliefs, when acted upon, can cause immense harm, particularly when directed at individuals or groups who are scapegoated for their perceived difference or deviance from the norm.

The initiation process within esoteric traditions was not born out of a desire to exclude but rather as a safeguard against the destructive potential of this dynamic. Initiation served as a gradual process of preparing individuals to grasp deeper truths responsibly, only after demonstrating sufficient maturity, discernment, and a capacity for critical thought. The esoteric truths—often complex and counterintuitive—were deliberately kept hidden from those unready to understand or wield them wisely, not out of elitism but out of a recognition of the potential for misuse when such truths were misinterpreted or weaponized by the unprepared.

This approach was not rooted in a disdain for the masses but in the recognition of human nature's susceptibility to emotional, unexamined reactions. When profound truths are laid bare without proper context or preparation, they are easily misunderstood, leading to distortion and harm. The gradual revelation of esoteric knowledge allowed practitioners to integrate these truths at a pace that ensured their ethical application and comprehension. It also acted as a filter, ensuring that those who advanced in understanding were not only intellectually capable but also morally and emotionally prepared to handle the implications.

The modern world provides countless examples of how the lack of such a system can lead to harm. Social media platforms, for instance, amplify groupthink, where half-truths and emotional appeals spread faster than verifiable facts. Individuals often adopt the rhetoric of the groups they associate with, acting on beliefs that they have not critically examined as if they were their own. The result is often catastrophic: reputations are destroyed through mob justice, businesses are boycotted or shut down based on misinformation, and, in extreme cases, individuals are harmed or killed under the belief that such actions serve a virtuous cause. This phenomenon reflects the very cycle of harm that esoteric traditions sought to prevent.

By placing a structured initiation process at the center of esoteric teachings, ancient systems aimed to cultivate practitioners who could break free from the limitations of groupthink. The gradual unveiling of deeper truths encouraged self-reflection, critical analysis, and personal accountability—traits that inoculated the initiate against the blind fanaticism that often accompanies unearned or misunderstood knowledge. This process was as much about developing character as it was about acquiring knowledge, ensuring that wisdom could be wielded responsibly rather than destructively.

In conclusion, the separation of the exoteric and esoteric was not a cynical strategy of control but a recognition of human nature's vulnerabilities. It aimed to shield deeper truths from being weaponized by those unready to understand them and to cultivate individuals who could approach such knowledge with the responsibility and maturity it requires. This ancient recognition remains relevant today, as the unchecked spread of misinformation and groupthink continues to demonstrate the importance of fostering critical thought, individual accountability, and the gradual development of wisdom. Without such safeguards, the cycle of harm perpetuated by fanatical ignorance will only continue.

Much Love and Respect! 🤘💚🤘

When you're hesitant to associate with someone who has done no harm—neither to you nor anyone else—simply because you fear retaliation or judgment from the leader of your organization, religious community, or political group, it's a red flag that you may be entangled in a cult-like environment. Healthy groups, whether they're social, spiritual, or ideological, thrive on diversity of thought, mutual respect, and the encouragement of individual agency. In contrast, groups that foster fear of reprisal for independent thinking often cross into dangerous, authoritarian territory.

Cult Dynamics and Control Mechanisms

One of the hallmark traits of a cult is the centralization of power in the hands of a leader who demands unquestioning loyalty. This leader may use tactics like belittling dissenters, ostracizing individuals who question their authority, or spreading smear campaigns against perceived threats. These methods serve to instill fear and suppress critical thinking, creating an environment where members self-censor to avoid being targeted.

If you find yourself unable to make personal decisions—like associating with someone deemed “unacceptable” by the group—without fearing retaliation, you're not in a space that values your autonomy. Instead, you're likely in a system that prioritizes control and obedience over individuality and fairness.

The Importance of Positive, Supportive Communities

True leadership inspires rather than controls. A leader worth following encourages dialogue, accepts constructive criticism, and fosters an atmosphere of mutual growth and understanding. In contrast, a leader who attacks, belittles, or threatens dissenters is not seeking to guide but to dominate. Associating with such individuals or remaining under their influence only perpetuates the cycle of fear and control.

If the environment around you discourages critical thinking, civil discourse, or the exploration of new ideas, it’s worth reevaluating your involvement. Healthy communities lift people up, celebrate diverse perspectives, and encourage personal growth. They do not demand conformity at the expense of individuality or use fear as a tool for compliance.

The Dangers of Staying in a Cult-Like Environment

Remaining in an environment governed by fear, manipulation, and authoritarian control can have long-term psychological, emotional, and even physical consequences. It stifles creativity, crushes self-esteem, and creates a toxic dependency on the leader or the group. Ultimately, no positive outcomes emerge from such an environment unless you are complicit in perpetuating its oppressive dynamics.

Choosing to distance yourself from such a group or leader isn’t just an act of self-preservation; it’s a declaration of your commitment to living with integrity, reason, and courage. Freedom of thought and association are non-negotiable aspects of a healthy, fulfilling life.

A Final Thought

Fear should never dictate your relationships or your thoughts. If associating with someone—even in a civil, rational, and kind manner—provokes threats or consequences from your leaders, then you’re dealing with more than a bad leader. You’re dealing with a manipulative, abusive system. Strive to surround yourself with people who inspire and uplift you. Avoid those who belittle, attack, and control. Freedom of thought and association is your right, and no leader or group should take that away from you. If they try, it’s time to leave.

Much Love and Respect! 🖤
