The Empire Never Ended

After failing to accept TENE's challenge to a rap battle, Fritz decides to be neighborly and meet David Myatt, founder of the Order of Nine Angles, on his own turf: faux-academic nonsense otherwise known as the 'Hebdomian Way'. Myatt is claiming that this 'philosophy' has replaced the O9A and represents a departure from his "extremist past"... Fritz disagrees. In fact, his Hebdomian Way is merely a rebranding of his old Nazi Satanist turd collection and Fritz explains how even by Myatt's own criteria, it can in no way be called a "philosophy". Enraged by this beat down, the numinous one himself appears at TENE's Death Valley compound with a surprise.
