For a very long time, LaVey at least if not before, #Satanism has been associated with power worship and a belief that #MightIsRight.
What a foolish fucking choice for a symbol, then, to take we your model, #Satan, whose rebellion failed due to nothing if not a lack of power.

@bitomag It's not exactly clear why you decided to analyze in great detail a) a summary post and b) a meme
We do have actual articles that talk about this, with sourcing and greater context. Please consider reading those because they directly address most of your attempted apologism.
For example, the reason Shane Bugbee is important is that after the #MightIsRight radio stream in 2003, Doug Misicko and Bugbee stayed close and Misicko brought Bugbee in to help re-launch TST in *2013*; additionally, emails between them have come out demonstrating that Misicko wanted to write a sequel to the public domain Might Is Right and make it the canonical text of #TheSatanicTemple
Yes, we have sources for that:

"Lucien Greaves said he was sorry for the antisemitism" is fine; that's whatever. The guy agreed with White Aryan Resistance founder Tom Metzger about whether there were good Jews or not, but Misicko tried to argue with him about the best way to eradicate the Black population, directly based on race or indirectly based on IQ. Then Misicko kept a website live referencing his enthusiasm for forcible sterilization in the name of eugenics until 2018, after the antisemitic comments gained attention.
Misicko also went out of his way to continually support literal neo-Nazis as the head of The Satanic Temple, even contradicting local groups who wanted to protest figures like Milo Yiannopoulos, probably not coincidentally, then a good friend of head-of-ministry Greg Stevens.
Again, that link will have a lot more about that.
