Nowadays the youth spends a sheltered life, being one of many, wasting time at their Xbox or MMORPG and in between, while browsing the internet at their desk, stumble upon Satanism. They think "Hey, nifty, I don't believe in god, there are no morals as they say, and I sooooo identify with this, thus... I'm a SATANIST!".

Sure they are.

But then they check out ONA and goddamn, they are or retarded or plain insane. That's right; compared to many others, they are insane and if you aren't you can't walk this path because it requires more than just making a statement. It requires to go where no "normal" man would go. Deeds my friend, it is all in doing.

The ONA isn't technically theistic, and requires no such absurd ritual. The ONA isn't technically anything other than a series of memes devised by one man to take root in a variety of people to fulfill his ends. (Which are heavily anarchic and counter governmental/establishment, to the point of obsession).

Those at the upper end of it, 'own the meme' thus making it their own and using it how they see fit, the rest that are susceptible to it, but lack the IQ to prevent it melting their brain end up being colorful albeit misguided ‘whack jobs’ that go on about the people they want to kill and joining the Taliban because they misunderstand completely the key concepts. That is representative of a very small number of those that knowingly associate with the ONA meme in any real way. The idiotic will either remain in their parents’ basements, or end up in prison. The remainder, and vast majority of those I have had discourse with over the years wouldn’t lose a brain pan size competition against many others.

The ONA isn't an order, and it isn't a coherent group. It's the label for a counter cultural memeplex. Barring the odd aberration there are no practicing 'Sinister Tribes' as envisaged by Myatt, and there is no coherent Order. Instead it’s representative of a theme, or a current of direct and violent opposition to the current World Order. Many of those whom the ONA meme describes are in no way related to the ONA, or wouldn’t be able to tell you anything about it, however they are described by it. The ONA isn’t anti-Semitic necessarily. It isn’t Islamic (Myatt’s jaunt into Islam was a self admitted ‘Insight Role’, to experience that culture absolutely so he could wield it as a weapon. Apparently his Islamist spiel was so convincing that he had many on certain fundamentalist forums convinced he was a man of great spiritual insight, and reputedly he managed to incite a large quantity of attempted violence), it sure as shit isn’t necessarily Satanic. It will however use any ‘modern heresy’ to throw itself and those it can recruit, or manipulate, or indoctrinate into direct and violent physical and ‘psychic’ conflict with the current Aeon. It’s weapons are civil unrest, easily manipulated racists, terrorists, the disenfranchised and anyone that is susceptible to be manipulated by a charismatic and willful individual/group to directly fight and kill and all in all disrupt the World Order and associated nation states.

The mss produced, particularly those around the time of the ‘Naos’ and the ‘Black Book of Satan’ etc. came from Myatt shortly after his skin head days where he was himself a ‘foot soldier’ then eventual ‘leader’ of his own group of anarchists. He saw a way of capturing the fringe and at the time, secret societies, Satanism and other such entities were popular. The meme he planted sprouts even now, but there remain 2 types of people that will read the ONA MSS. The type of person that will get it and see through it (which is most everyone on this forum) and will see that it’s not directly advocating human sacrifice or culling necessarily, but rather amorality as a means to an end. That end of course being the disillusion of the current World Order. They will also see that these manuscripts are tools to recruit those sufficiently easily manipulated that they will actually literally go out and kill people over the meme. Some of the people that see through the meme become enamored with it enough to own it and should in theory have a healthy batch of recruits in the ‘idiot’ pile to manipulate and use to achieve their ends.

The ‘Satanic’ manuscripts are just one incarnation of a multi headed memeplex. Sure it’s fiercely individualistic and adversarial, meaning it can be considered ‘Satanic’ but it’s not what it looks to be on face value. There is a Nobility to the End that is sought by those of the ONA current. The evil is a means to an end. It's the only vehicle for real change.

I think one should not look at it as Long ruling above them all and manipulating them to his needs or plans.

Many have come to similar ideas or conclusions, even without meeting ONA, and see in Long a comrade going in the same direction, aspiring or working/acting towards the same goals. As such, instead of being subject to the memeplex, the memeplex becomes subject to them.

Not too different from what happens when people meet the "modern Satanism" memeplex or any other construct. Of course, when it is rather harmless, it doesn't feel so bad.

I prefer to call him Long. The fact that "Anton Long" was chosen to represent ONA, obliges me to respect that and use that name.

Others do what they feel appropriate.

I think respect is pretty valuable, at least to those you consider your own kind. To others, politeness can't harm either.

The fact if or if not Myatt is Long is not only a constant source of amusement, it is only important to many that can't come to terms with ONA itself and prefer to focus on such trivialities instead. The same goes for the "culling" subject; do they or do they not? Maybe they're just teens acting sinister from their basement. It's nothing but Internet grand-speak.

Maybe indeed.

If it brings people comfort thinking the devil doesn't exist, who can object to that? He might not exist indeed.

I don't think calling someone by their actual name is a sign of disrespect. I think it's a simple choice between using a pseudo name to create confusion or not. I don't adhere to the 'esoteric' naming principles of the ONA, and have met few who do outside of the internet.

I like to see the ONA as a theme park of sorts. You have a theme park and you want to take idiots for a ride. So you first study your target market of "wack-jobs" and you make a ride each subculture of "wack-job" is into. If the ONA theme park has Satanic, Nazi, Jihadi rides in its theme park... what's it say about such subcultures in general? But this is insight from the top end of the ONA.

But, I am not going cut my finger with a *knife* for anyone.

Of course, that's why you are Mindfuk and I'm Diavolo. It's just a name isn't it?
