It doesn't.. not really. Wiccans shun bigots, druids generally are left or left of center in my experience. The only right wing pagans I met were reconstructionists or the Nordic diaspora wannabe heathens. Some racists try to loophole white pride stigma by attaching a dead culture to it, I think. Hell it aint really pagan but I feel every Satanist is left wing. Star child new age groups got hit with the conspiracy shift tho and reverted to channeling jesus, reading the secret a.k.a the manifestation version of prosperity gospel and toxic positivity almost completely in the last decade.
That has not been my experience at all, i find there tend to be more who are Ayn Rand type libertarians.
Yeah, IMHO (LaVeyan) Satanism is at its core an individualistic ideology
Satanism is divided into Church of Satan and The Satanic Temple. COS comes from LaVey and is Randian libertarianism with an edgy aesthetic.
TST is the Satanism that you seem to be thinking about, using freedom of religion arguments to protect public spaces, bodily autonomy, GSRM rights, etc. We're cuddly.
