In Goethe's version Faust gets away with it.
Oh, that's funny - is white nationalism running around with the idea that deals with the devil are actually awesome?
Faust was just such a Chad that the deal didn't take - he asks Mephistopheles to make him so happy that he doesn't want to strive for more, but then doesn't allow himself to be satisfied. Haven't read it since college, but IIRC much of the story is about exactly that kind of rugged individualism sigma grindset shit that so many guys worship.
That's really funny, he turned the idea of a Faustian bargain completely on its head.
Kinda depressing life though. You're never satisfied, never truly happy, so thoroughly empty that not even the devil can fill you with joy
Yeah it's all very Sturm und Drang.
