It was developed in the 70s and Alan Moore & grant morrison are practitioners. Last podcast on the left did a decent intro series on right hand path left hand path and chaos magick. The bassist from blondie also just wrote a book on trump’s ascension and chaos magick.

How'd it pop into being as a weird fad for the far left community, in 2019? My theory is that people are realizing we are well and truly hosed, with no realistic fix in sight. They're retreating into pure fantasy, but as the right has largely co-opted american christianity as a tribal signifier, leftists have to go elsewhere. So instead of taking oxy and buying angel statues off qvc, they get real high, draw a diagram, and, uh... jerk off on it a bunch, if i understand correctly???

I scribble little symbols on the backs of old receipts, and each symbol corresponds to a set of exercise I just did. Like a small circle is 5 kettlebell swings with a 40 kg bell, a + is 10 with a 20 kg one. Infinity symbol is overhead press. etc. Maybe magic doesn't work but at least got in some exercise while doing it.

Basically. Though I think you can have sex too as long as you think About the diagram. I’m not an expert by any means. Same with Williamson support. It’s woowoo nonsense but mostly positive so let’s meme her into the whitehouse using chaos magick.

The first "leftist" reaction is to deny religion, because it is synonymous with christianity. The next step is going, who said the mystical is synonymous with christianity? I'm not gonna believe in Jesus, because he is right wing. Instead, I'm gonna read a comic book and believe in this wizard guy. That's better, right?

That was a facetious statement, about how Christianity is perceived, or what it has become. Jesus' actual teachings have almost nothing to do with mainstream christianity today.

If Christ were to appear before the President, and the President didn't know who He was, the President would absolutely want Him out of America. I don't have a doubt about it.

Last podcast on the left did a decent intro series on right hand path left hand path and chaos magick. At points it's very self helpy (which I guess helped with the pyramid scheme, if you send me $500 I promise your love and will is going to grow immensely) and also has very little filters so the rocket scientist hoping to harness enough love to summon Gaeae the sexy earth goddess is admitted next to the guy hoping this is hopefully like the counterculture version of the Mason's so I'm not surprised it's back, but what a history in the 21st century. Those two people I mention being admitted are real people and also one of them is L Ron.

Aleister Crowley tells a joke: How do you help a man plagued by invisible rats? Give him a box filled with invisible ferrets. Also, as far as I know, Moore has never said what he did is "chaos magick". That's a specific concept he doesn't follow.

I think it's because Christianity relies so aggressively on a persecution narrative that it will fabricate and form its own enemies and dumb leftists who reject Christian narratives start with the "enemies" of their object of focus, ignoring this well known pattern

So, we as rational men should strip ourselves of all mystical thought? Also magic is not pseudoscience. It's either not science at all, or it's psychology/sociology.
