I'm currently looking into the possibility of other Satanic/LHP organizations being interested in cooperating with the JoS. As many of you already know, this is a very complicated matter.
The Joy of Satan is the largest Theistic Satanist organization, perhaps expanding as far as the niche of "Spiritual Satanism" allows. It seems so far that the rest of the LHP individuals and organizations have already decided their opinion of the JoS. Typically, their decision is heavily determined by their impression of JoS being a Neo-Nazi organization. They either believe the Joy of Satan's focus is too heavily fixated on Nazism, or rather that it isn't enough and that it is far too liberal. It's a very odd situation. The fact that JoS could even be considered Neo-Nazi is quite laughable, as the Joy of Satan hardly conducts itself as an authoritarian rule and welcomes LGBT identities, all races and express themselves openly. The only thing most people seem to care about is the JoS's stance on jews. I wonder why that might be :lol: .
Another difficulty is that neither the JoS or most organizations are willing to adjust their core values to allow closer relations with each other. In the case of the Joy of Satan, I genuinely believe this to be the right decision. As I look into other branches of Satanism, specifically so-called "Gnostic" Satanism, I am starting to see many anti-xian qualities that are the foundation of many of their loosely speculated concepts. A loyal member was also observed to meditate daily for 30 years and never achieved anything serious. They do have some interesting concepts, including the literal creation of golems who apparently can actually move, but I have yet to read this material myself.
On the Order of Nine Angles, ONA/O9A. This is not an organization the JoS should want to affiliate with, it would simply enforce the JoS identity with Neo-Nazism. Besides, they're at least borderline insane and are actually dangerous. It's said they attack people in South Europe in the woods at night, and are generally known to be "real" terrorists. People like to throw the term domestic terrorism around these days, but O9A take vigilantism to another level.
Then we have Atheistic Satanism, who for the most part disagree with the existence of Satan and the Gods as literal beings, as well as the existence of spiritual phenomena. While they don't like to admit it, their entire identity is based on for profit political propaganda. I believe that an organization like The Satanic Temple (TST) may be the strongest candidate for JoS compatibility, and even then hardly. Their organization is opportunistic when pursuing their goals, hiring the same lawyer Alex Jones and other Alt-Right groups have back in 2018. While this is true, I'm concerned that TST may stir drama and even public controversy if the JoS were to approach them directly or indirectly in any way. They seem to be accepting of individuals who hold theistic views, and have directly stated they do not discriminate against members who do so. Yes, as I write this, I'm convinced TST is the best candidate.
If anyone has any opinions regarding this, I'd be very interested in having a conversation.
