Yes it has really been taken to a physical extreme, it is a manifestation of something.

Idk why I am remembering of this but hey look, this is interesting:

The ONA are strongly critical of larger Satanic groups like the Church of Satan and the Temple of Set, whom they deem to be "sham-Satanic" because they embrace the "glamour associated with Satanism" but are "afraid to experience its realness within and external to them"... When in the past we and others like us have said things that others interpret as being against the Temple of Set or LaVey, we (o9a) were simply assuming the role of Adversary – challenging what seemed to be becoming accepted dogma.

This is an act of rebellion yet, who have the power to decide over oneself what is right and what i not, well, we are in exposing the mad world, we're exercising our form of power, we're building the next critic of the current dogma.
