I think I may do that. bitcointalk.org is probably the community where the most insanity goes on.

Litecoin's forum and god forbid Paycoin's are a goldmine too, but that's getting past the point of this topic.

But seriously people still believe in Paycoin and I almost feel bad for them.

Libertarian website Reason.com ran a humorous contest to come up with bumper sticker slogans for Invictus' campaign:
Augustus Sol Invictus has announced himself as a Libertarian Candidate for the Senate from Florida. He has admitted to sacrificing a goat and drinking its blood and exhorts his followers to "take LSD and practice sorcery... listen to trap music and black metal," and bring their girlfriends to strip clubs and then seduce the dancers in the back room. Kindly come up with a bumper sticker for his campaign.

We know that this is likely his favorite emperor.
He went against roman traditions by murdering people randomly, engaging in prostitution (in disguise), marrying the equivalent of a nun, attempting to have sol invictus worshipped (as opposed to Jupiter) circumcising himself (and talking about castrating himself), having massive festivals where he threw gold to people. He eventually was killed by pretty much everyone in Rome ganging up on him and the roman empire almost collapsed because of this

Found this while I was doing things.

Here's the text if someone can't get to it.
Quote from someone about him.
"Mr. Invictus practices Thelema, an occult pagan religion based on the teachings of Aleister Crowley. Mr. Invictus was ejected from Ordo Templi Orientis for brutally and sadistically dismembering a goat in a ritualistic sacrifice."

Quote from him:
"I did sacrifice a goat. I know that's probably a quibble in the mind of most Americans. I sacrificed an animal to the god of the wilderness ... Yes, I drank the goat's blood."

I didn't go looking this guy up, I actually found out about this from @_Floridaman

He's got a hard-on for ancient Rome, but follows the religion of a crazy British heir? What?

Thelema claims to have root in older pagan practices and some Thelemites consider all neopaganism to be forms of Thelema so that may explain his seeming inconsistency but its a stretch. Crowley had a hard-on for Ancient Egypt (but was racist enough to love the British empire and probably by extension the Roman one, he was supportive of fascism until Mussolini kicked him out of Italy for degeneracy)

Crowley was a con artist who would do nearly anything for attention, but at least his cult wasn't as gauche as that of L. Ron Hubbard, whom he despised.

I'd guess because he really gets off on things that make him sound wise deep and edgy. Emperor's new clothes syndrome with that. Frankly I'd guess he had no faith in it and little care, more wanted to show off so took part and then managed to kick his edgy up and got booted for that stunt.
 
I suppose that Augustus is beginning to miss the five minutes of fame that sacrificing a goat brought to him, and that he's trying to get more attention by doing more bizarre things—such as announcing his plans to publish his "LSD journals."

Florida Politics said:
Libertarian U.S. Senate candidate Augustus Sol Invictus — the Orlando lawyer who admitted sacrificing a goat and drinking its blood as part of a Pagan ritual — is now promising to release two years of “LSD journals.”

Invictus posted a tweet on Twitter Monday stating, “I am pleased to announce that I will be publishing two years’ worth of LSD journals on 31 January 2016.” He also included a picture of two pages of handwriting that includes the declaration, “F- you America. This is your next Senator from Florida.”

It’s unclear whether the two pages are from the journals he promised to release. It’s also unclear whether Invictus is acknowledging LSD use. He did not respond to requests Tuesday morning for clarification.

His campaign, launched in May, has often been marked by statements, behavior and revelations of his past that many have found ranging from far outside the political mainstream to bizarre.

Among his more controversial positions involves past promotion of eugenics. And while Invictus has contended he has dropped that belief, he nonetheless refers to it in a long list of grievances he has on his campaign website. In his “Declarations of the Failings of Federal Government,” he criticizes government policies “to protect at any cost the survival of the weakest,” adding that the country has “abandoned its eugenics program & elitist mindset in favor of decadent ideology.” He criticizes U.S. policies for “demeaning Christian Rites for fear of the Jews.” He declares that Martin Luther King Jr. is of “a different breed of lesser men.” He calls immigrants, “parasites.”

The Libertarian Party of Florida has disavowed him (and sustained upheaval over his candidacy in the fall,) and Invictus has acknowledged he is not “a certified candidate” of the party. Yet he remains the only Libertarian in Florida’s U.S. Senate race. He also reported that he filed in December to run for secretary of the state party.

So he has LSD journals. That's quite fitting to the overall theme of "Extreme Edge Philosopher King", though not exactly a novelty -- Aldous Huxley, Ernst Jünger, Timothy Leary anyone?
