Most people have heard of Jesus Christ, regarded by Christians as the Messiah who lived about 2,000 years ago. But few are familiar with Sabbatai Zevi, a man who proclaimed himself the Messiah in 1666. By preaching that redemption could be achieved through acts of sin, Zevi attracted a following of more than one million devoted believers—nearly half of the Jewish population at the time.
Although many rabbis denounced him as a heretic, Zevi's fame spread widely. His followers, known as Sabbateans, sought to abolish many traditional observances, arguing that according to the Talmud, such obligations would no longer apply in the Messianic age. Days of fasting were transformed into feasts and celebrations. The Sabbateans openly encouraged and practiced sexual promiscuity, adultery, incest, and religious orgies.
After Zevi's death in 1676, his mystical philosophy was carried on and expanded by Jacob Frank, an 18th-century leader who claimed to be Zevi's reincarnation. Frankism, as his movement came to be known, centered on his teachings and leadership. Like Zevi, Frank promoted shocking acts that defied traditional religious law, including consuming forbidden foods, performing ritual sacrifices, and fostering sexual immorality and orgies.
Frank routinely engaged in sexual relations with his followers, including his own daughter, while preaching that the highest way to imitate God was to break every boundary, violate every taboo, and blur the lines between the sacred and the profane. Gershom Scholem, a scholar at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, described Frank as "one of the most frightening phenomena in the whole of Jewish history."
Frank eventually allied himself with Adam Weishaupt and Mayer Amschel Rothschild in the formation of the Order of the Illuminati. The stated goal of this secret society was to dismantle the world's religions and power structures in order to usher in a utopian vision of global communism—one they intended to rule from behind the scenes through what became known as the New World Order.
Through the use of secret societies, including the Freemasons, this agenda has reportedly unfolded over the centuries, following a consistent plan. The Illuminati have allegedly maintained control over opposition through near-total influence over the media, academia, politics, and finance. While many continue to dismiss these ideas as mere conspiracy theory, a growing number of people are beginning to question whether it represents a genuine and deeply troubling reality.
- The U.S. allowed deregulated capitalism to hollow out its middle class.
- Public goods were privatized or neglected (college costs, medical debt, housing).
- Extreme wealth inequality became normalized.
- Political systems were captured by corporate interests, making it hard to reverse course.
So yes — while capitalism is at the core, it's the American form of predatory, individualistic capitalism that has been particularly corrosive.
Is this focus on selfishness and comfort mainly because of capitalism?
Yes — but not all forms of capitalism have shaped societies the same way.
The brand of capitalism practiced in the U.S., especially since the 1980s, has been:
- hyper-individualistic
- financialized (profits from speculation over production)
- consumer-driven (your worth = what you own)
- minimal on social safety nets ("every man for himself")
This type of capitalism — often called neoliberalism — promotes the idea that markets solve everything, government should stay small, and individuals must fend for themselves. Over time, this erodes empathy, community-mindedness, and long-term thinking, because:
➡ People are incentivized to compete, not cooperate.
➡ Success is measured in personal wealth, not communal wellbeing.
➡ Systems that support the vulnerable (healthcare, education, housing) get defunded or privatized.
Does the U.S. stand out compared to other capitalist countries?
While most industrialized nations are capitalist, they don't all follow the U.S. model.
Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland)
- Combine capitalism with strong social welfare (universal healthcare, free or low-cost education, support for families and youth).
- Citizens pay higher taxes, but in return get shared prosperity and social cohesion.
- Greater trust between generations — young people feel society is investing in them.
Germany, France, Netherlands
- Capitalist economies, but with more protections for workers, apprenticeships for youth, affordable housing initiatives.
- Less extreme wealth inequality compared to the U.S.
Japan, South Korea
- Capitalist, but stronger cultural expectations around responsibility to community and family.
- However, these countries face their own intergenerational stresses (e.g. aging populations, workaholism).
Why the U.S. version has been especially destructive for younger generations
- The U.S. allowed deregulated capitalism to hollow out its middle class.
- Public goods were privatized or neglected (college costs, medical debt, housing).
- Extreme wealth inequality became normalized.
- Political systems were captured by corporate interests, making it hard to reverse course.
The American form of predatory, individualistic capitalism that has been particularly corrosive.
Satanism and money: the philosophy
When people say, "Satanists use money to keep score," they're usually referring to:
- The idea in LaVeyan Satanism (founded by Anton LaVey in the 1960s) that material success is a valid expression of personal power, individual will, and superiority.
- LaVeyan Satanism celebrates self-interest, indulgence, and achievement — it rejects humility, sacrifice, or compassion as moral imperatives.
- Money becomes a visible marker of personal power, competence, and dominance — a scorecard for who is "winning" in life.
LaVey himself wrote:
"Life is the great indulgence — death the great abstinence. Therefore, make the most of life — HERE AND NOW!"
"Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!"
Money = power, success, proof of superiority in this worldview.
Parallels with U.S. capitalist culture
American capitalism — particularly in its hyper-individualistic, exploitative form — shares many of these values:
- Selfishness as a virtue ("Greed is good." — Gordon Gekko, Wall Street)
- Wealth as proof of worth — if you're rich, it's because you worked hard or are inherently better
- Indifference to suffering — the poor are blamed for their own misfortune; charity is optional
- Dominate or be dominated — competition above cooperation
- Both systems glorify:
indulgence personal power over collective good status through wealth rejection of traditional moral frameworks (especially those that encourage sacrifice for others)
Is capitalism "Satanic"?
That's subjective — but exploitative capitalism and LaVeyan Satanism share a moral outlook that prizes individual gain, often at the expense of others. Both systems:
- Encourage people to treat others instrumentally (as tools or obstacles).
- See compassion or selflessness as weaknesses.
- Use wealth as a key metric of success.
The difference?
Capitalism, at least in theory, doesn't explicitly call itself a philosophy of selfishness — but in practice, U.S. capitalism often functions that way.
LaVeyan Satanism is honest about its values: it openly glorifies selfishness and power.
Do other societies avoid this trap?
Many societies (e.g. Nordic nations) balance markets with:
- Strong social welfare
- Emphasis on cooperation
- Cultural value on fairness and mutual responsibility
Quotes from LaVey & Modern Satanists on Money and Power
Anton LaVey and his followers were explicit in connecting money, power, and personal worth. Let's look at key examples:
Anton LaVey
"There is a beast in man that should be exercised, not exorcised."
➡ LaVey argued that selfish drives — including the lust for power and wealth — are natural and should be expressed, not suppressed.
"Satanism is not for everyone. It is for the strong, the independent, the self-respecting. It is for those who refuse to sell themselves cheaply."
➡ Material success is part of proving you haven't sold yourself cheaply — you've dominated rather than submitted.
"The Satanist realizes that man, by nature, is a carnal beast — more so than any other animal. He therefore accepts the fact that all religions are based on fantasies, but instead of bending his knee in worship to, or turning the other cheek to, the supposed superiors of man, he places himself at the center of his own subjective universe as his own highest value."
➡ In this logic, material success — including wealth — is how you manifest that self-worship. It's proof of your superiority.
Modern Satanist Views
Contemporary Satanist groups (like The Satanic Temple) don't always share LaVey's materialism, but LaVeyan circles still express these ideas:
- Money as the most honest symbol of power
- Wealth as a sign that you've mastered the game of life, or outcompeted others
- Charity seen as virtue-signaling weakness unless it serves your goals
A common LaVeyan theme:
If you're poor, it's because you're weak, lazy, or stupid.
If you're rich, it's because you're powerful and deserving.
How U.S. Capitalism Absorbed & Normalized These Values
Here's the deeper, systemic part:
Capitalism in theory (esp. early capitalism):
- Was about creating markets where free individuals could trade fairly.
- Promoted ideas of hard work, thrift, and social order (Adam Smith even emphasized morality and sympathy).
But U.S. capitalism — especially post-WWII and hypercharged since the 1980s — evolved to mirror LaVeyan values:
- Wealth = moral worth. If you're rich, you're smarter, better, more deserving.
- Greed = good. Personal gain is celebrated, no matter the cost to others.
- Power for power's sake. Big companies crushing smaller ones = admired.
- Suffering = your fault. Poverty is seen as proof of personal failure rather than systemic injustice.
- Altruism = optional or suspect. Social safety nets are attacked as "handouts."
- Consumption = identity. The more you own, the more you are.
Figures like Ayn Rand actively preached a philosophy ("Objectivism") that overlapped with LaVeyan ideals:
"Selfishness is a virtue."
"The man who does not value himself, cannot value anything or anyone."
Milton Friedman's Chicago School economics normalized ideas that:
- The only responsibility of business is profit.
- Market forces alone should shape society.
- Government's role is minimal, only protecting property rights.
Pop culture reinforced it:
- Gordon Gekko: "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good."
- Reality TV, celebrity worship, and "success culture" made conspicuous wealth the ultimate goal.
Bottom line
LaVey was upfront about glorifying power and wealth as ends in themselves.
U.S. capitalism absorbed those values and spread them through economic policy, media, and culture — often without admitting it was doing so.
That's why today, what might have once been considered Satanic morality is simply... mainstream.
Corporate Slogans: The Language of Selfish Power
Modern brands often echo LaVeyan or hyper-capitalist values, subtly encouraging:
individual dominance
self-gratification
wealth or consumption as proof of worth
Examples:
Nike: "Just Do It"
The message: Don't think about rules, consequences, or the impact on others — act on your will, your desires.
L'Oréal: "Because You're Worth It"
Your personal worth justifies indulgence. Gratification isn't just okay — it's owed to you because of your inherent superiority.
Apple: "Think Different"
Individual genius over conformity. You are the superior mind who deserves the best tools to express that power.
MasterCard: "There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's MasterCard."
Money is your tool to achieve everything that matters. Power lies in what you can purchase — and everything has a price.
Burger King: "Have It Your Way"
Indulge. Customize. The universe bends to your will, even in trivial ways.
Red Bull: "Red Bull Gives You Wings"
Consumption as empowerment. Drink this, and rise above the ordinary. Power through consumption.
Advertising Imagery: The Cult of the Self
Modern ads routinely:
Portray the individual as a heroic figure triumphing over others.
Depict products as the key to personal power, status, or domination.
Normalize self-indulgence and consumption as forms of liberation.
Example: Luxury car ads often show lone drivers conquering vast landscapes — no passengers, no community, no relationships, just domination of space and machine.
Example: Tech product ads (smartphones, wearables) promise to make you the center of control over your environment.
Education: The Hidden Curriculum
U.S. education, especially in business schools and increasingly K-12, has absorbed and transmitted these ideas:
- Teach competition over collaboration. Group work is often graded competitively; systems of honor roll, valedictorian, etc., create zero-sum reward structures.
- Celebrate wealth and success stories uncritically. Business case studies praise "disruptors" who dominate markets — often ignoring the human or environmental costs.
- Promote individual achievement as the sole measure of worth. Less focus on community impact, more on personal success (résumés, awards, GPAs).
- Entrepreneurship culture as a moral good. "Be your own boss, crush the competition, make millions, change the world." Rarely: "How will your business serve your community or planet?"
MBA programs especially glorify "winning" at markets, often framing ethics as an optional course, not a core value.
Why it works
These messages are so effective because they mirror the moral code of modern capitalism:
- You are what you own.
- Success = domination.
- Compassion, community, or restraint? Optional at best, weakness at worst.
Core psychological effects on youth
When young people are constantly bombarded with messages like:
- "You are what you own"
- "Winning means beating others"
- "Happiness comes from consumption"
It conditions them to adopt values and behaviors aligned with self-interest, status-chasing, and anxiety over inadequacy.
Main impacts:
Hyper-individualism
Youth internalize that success is purely personal — a lone journey of achievement.
➡ "If I fail, it's my fault. If I win, I deserve all the credit."
➡ Weakens empathy, teamwork, and collective action.
Status anxiety
Since worth is tied to what you own or display:
➡ Constant comparison on social media.
➡ Fear of falling behind peers materially (FOMO).
➡ Obsession with brands, followers, and outward markers of success.
Emptiness from consumption
Many young people report:
➡ The "high" of buying or achieving fades fast.
➡ A sense that no amount of stuff or success fills deeper needs for connection or purpose.
This mirrors what researchers call "affluenza" — a psychological malaise from chasing material wealth.
Desensitization to inequality
When ads and education normalize wealth and power as moral markers, youth may:
➡ View poverty as deserved failure.
➡ See generosity as optional or performative rather than essential.
➡ Struggle to connect with broader social justice issues.
Behavioral outcomes
This messaging isn't just theoretical — it shows up in choices and trends:Increased consumerism
Young people often define identity through brands (clothes, tech, experiences).
➡ The rise of "flex culture" (showing off wealth online).
➡ Debt accumulation — buying the image of success before achieving security.
Entrepreneurial pressure
Start-up culture and influencer culture push youth to:
➡ Monetize hobbies.
➡ Constantly "grind" and "hustle" to stand out.
➡ Believe if they aren't exceptional, they're worthless.
This can fuel burnout, anxiety, and a sense of perpetual failure.
Declining civic engagement
When the focus is on personal success:
➡ Less interest in collective action (voting, community organizing, unions).
➡ Politics seen as irrelevant or rigged, since only individual gain matters.
What the research says
Psychologists, educators, and sociologists have tracked these trends:
Jean Twenge ("iGen"): Found sharp rises in youth anxiety, depression, and loneliness linked to social comparison and materialist values.
Studies on materialism & mental health: Higher materialistic values correlate with lower well-being, higher depression, and poorer relationships.
Marketing researchers: Show that youth exposed to materialist ads exhibit more selfish behavior and lower empathy in experiments.
Famous Satanic phrases about money & wealth
"Money is the most powerful tool of social influence, and the most honest indicator of success."
— Paraphrase of LaVeyan themes in interviews and essays
In LaVeyan thought, money is a straightforward measure of who's winning in life. Unlike abstract morality, money is clear and undeniable.
"Satanism has been called a religion of the flesh, the mundane, the carnal — and rightly so.
We believe in greed, indulgence, and materialism."
— Anton LaVey, The Satanic Bible (1969)
LaVey openly embraced materialism, arguing that desiring wealth and possessions is natural and healthy.
"The Satanist knows that praying does absolutely no good — in fact, it actually lessens the chance of success, because it distracts from the responsibility of material accomplishment."
— The Satanic Bible
In other words: stop wishing, start accumulating.
"Satan represents all of the so-called sins, as they all lead to physical, mental, or emotional gratification!"
— The Nine Satanic Statements, The Satanic Bible
This includes greed — seen as a positive force that drives success and pleasure.
"The Satanist realizes that wealth is a means to an end — that end being self-empowerment."
— Common in LaVeyan circles and writings inspired by LaVey
Wealth is not just for comfort, but as a sign and tool of personal power.
"You can't be a good Satanist and be poor for long, unless you're a fool."
— LaVeyan-style commentary (from interviews and essays by Church of Satan members)
Wealth is viewed as the natural result of applying Satanic principles of will, discipline, and mastery over others.
Why these phrases matter
The LaVeyan system elevates money to a moral symbol — not of generosity, but of dominance and competence.
Charity, in this view, is pointless unless it serves your personal goals.
The Satanic Principle → Business Doctrine
LaVeyan Satanism:
- Wealth = power = moral worth
- Greed = virtue
- Indulgence = natural, desirable
- Compassion = weakness (unless it serves your gain)
- "Score" is kept by material success
