Sympathy for the Devil

Headline in an Australian paper, which cares about this issue for some reason: “White House Monkeypox Response Deputy Dubbed ‘Gay Satanist’ by Conservatives.” Now why would those meanies do that? Because he has a pentagram tattoo, and that symbol is — really — a trademark of the Church of Satan.

Well, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and offers dead crows to the Father of Lies at midnight like a duck, then one might infer something. What’s more, the Monkeypox Responder was profiled in 2014 by the New York Post as a co-owner of a dungeon-themed workout place. The article quotes patrons and staff, and, lest you think they’re all acolytes of evil, they are boring conformists trotting out rote pseudo-spiritual drivel.
