   While we talk about #TheSatanicTemple a lot, there’s the obvious reasons (the #SatanicTemple is still suing us) and the less obvious reasons (#TST is actively dangerous).

   But in a world with literal Nazis active and ascendant, it’s worth explaining for others why the latter is true and this attention is warranted.

     In a time and circumstances where we have limited opportunities to actually make an impact, every organization that is sucking potential allies into their grift for selfish benefit is a threat and should be treated as such.

     But it's not *just* that.

     @QueerSatanic I've had the same question asked, of why I focus on TERFs rather than the Catholics, or even more specifically, the TERFs in MORENA rather than the TERFs that ally with the right

     But they're the ones in my communities, ruining spaces like La Gozadera or the Dyke March that used to be inclusive, that were spaces I felt at home

     To begin, while #Nazis and other #fascists are clearly a much greater threat in themselves, liberals and especially leftists are not regularly propping up fascist organizations.

     With #TheSatanicTemple, many otherwise decent people *are* wasting resources and energy propping up TST to no discernible benefit — at least to anyone else beside the two men who literally own it.
