Tarl Warwick (born 1988), known by his screen name of Styxhexenhammer666, is an Occultist, author, editor and political commenter on Youtube. His videos cover various topics of interest such as religion, politics, world events, occultism and posts other miscellaneous material.

Overview

A typical video has him sitting in his house with his microphone in view expressing his opinions on politics and current events. Once opening his videos with "Alright Youtube" he has since switched to "Alright Everyone" (Briefly "Alright World") due to his choice to begin double uploading all new content to Vid.me. Every video he ends by saying "that's about all, peace out".

Many of his videos, especially between 2011 and 2014 have been about religion. His religious background was originally marginal Christianity, but over time, he became first a general atheist, then a Satanist, and now a pagan and occultist. He has stated that his variant of Satanism was essentially atheistic and that he belonged to no specific order or group therein.

He had previously uploaded trip reports from when he used recreational drugs. He stopped using drugs in 2010 after a severe overdose from a type of synthetic marijuana known as "Spice" that sent him to a psychiatric ward. He said it took many months before he felt normal again and advised that no one should ever use the substance.

During 2016, his videos became increasingly focused on the 2016 United States presidential election. Initially, he endorsed Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party, until he felt he could no longer support Johnson due to differences in views on Islamic immigration and switched his support to Donald Trump. Even before he withdrew his endorsement of Gary Johnson, he predicted that Donald Trump would win presidency and also voted for Trump in the Vermont primaries, making him one of very few political commentators to successfully predict the outcome of the general election.

His videos can be controversial and he is not afraid to express opinions considered to be unpopular. Beginning with Charles Manson, he has expressed his belief that Manson was innocent and should be released from prison. During the years when most of his uploads were about religion, he expressed his fair share of anti-religious sentiment, especially towards Christianity, Judaism and Islam. He also considered himself to be the most anti-religious person in Vermont. He has admitted to receiving death threats from Christians due his anti-Christian videos, although he said he never had a problem with liberal Christians, it was the fundamentalist Christians had a problem with. Some examples of his most anti-religious videos include: Proving the Bible is a Fraud, The Truth about Organized Religion, New Age Morality, and New Religious Movements and Fred Phelps, Last True Christian, Dies at 84.

Political views

Tarl Warwick's political views are complex and have been known to change over time. Views expressed include anti-religion, populism, classical liberalism, drug legalization, pro-abortion, right to bear arms, cultural nationalism, anti-globalization and apocalypticism. Examples of how his political views have changed over time include how he used to consider himself a Liberal around 2009, but later became a Libertarian. Another example was in 2016 when he abandoned his support for the Libertarian Party in favor of Donald Trump, after saying a year earlier that he would never vote for Trump. While he has become increasingly critical of the left, Warwick rejects being labeled as a conservative and has also expressed criticism of the Republicans. Warwick stated he voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and wrote in Ron Paul in 2012.

His views over the years have remained consistently in favor of limited government and distrust of power in general. Since 2016, many of his videos have been defensive of Donald Trump, although since his inauguration he has expressed criticism of Trump on certain issues such as his controversial Tomahawk missile strike on Syria and his signing off on a massive arms deal with Saudi Arabia. He has referred to himself definitively as a "limited government minarchist." He has elaborated on this general idea, saying that tyranny and abuse currently come from the left, mainly, and if they were coming from the right, many would mistake him for a liberal. He opposes corporate power as much as government power.

European Union

He opposes the European Union and has made videos in support of Eurosceptic right-wing populist parties, such as the Freedom Party of Austria. He has also supported euroskeptic movements on the generally leftist side, such as Front Nationale. He also urged all his British viewers to vote to leave the EU in the 2016 Brexit referendum. He has expressed support for EU states in Eastern Europe such as Poland and Hungary which are at odds with Brussels over various disputes including the refugee crisis. He correctly predicted the loss of Le Pen, the mild gains of Geert Wilders, and predicts the general collapse of European centrist movements and the eventual demise of the EU. 

Immigration

Warwick is critical of open-door immigration policies such as those in place in Europe because he believes the people do not assimilate to into a common culture and allows entry to Islamic extremists. He believes multiculturalism has failed but multiethnicism can work if assimilation is encouraged. In a video uploaded in 2011, he said Europe needs to protect its racial groups but stated that America was meant to be a melting pot and should continue allowing immigrants from all parts of the world. However, in a 2017 video titled "Open Borders and Limitless Immigration Are Stupid", he believes America no longer has enough open space to admit unlimited numbers of immigrants and believes limiting immigration is important for liberty because "people from cultures that don't value freedom can poor in at their leisure". He fully supports Donald Trump's policies to build a wall on the Mexican border and to block immigration from a select number of Islamic countries. However, he opposes the concept of mass deportation and has stated he would not oppose limited amnesty for illegals.

Alt-Right

Warwick has attracted a following from the alt-right, a loosely formed populist movement centered around white nationalism. He has said in 2016 that he is "not really on the alt-right", but appeared sympathetic to the movement. In September 2016, he appeared as a guest on Red Ice TV, a YouTube channel which describes itself as "predominately focusing on issues concerning European survival" where he said he was "on the fringes of the alt-right, I guess." However, he has since rejected this label and has stated that what "alt lite" meant during the election has shifted and now mostly refers to racial nationalists that do not openly proclaim racial nationalism.
