Way to ambguously qualify Bannon's BS ^. Are you saying my de-facto (boilerplate) knowledge of how to copypasta (copy & paste) dubious nonsense from backwoods, unsubstantiated sources means I should quit I.T. & go work on capitol hill?

I don't know what he is exactly, but "white nationalist" seems far too simple.


If Bannon is just a weird guy, why would he make Breitbart a focal point of the alt right, playing up to racial hatred with an "all black crime section," and talk about banning all Muslims (immigrants and native born)?

I asked you if you're saying my knowledge of decentralized IP routing qualifies me as a muckracker. You're perfectly welcome to look up vocabulary & jargon instead of ignoring posts completely.

I mean, if you count militant Zionism & lynch mobs as garden variety weird like Dox was seeking to...

If you mean "garden variety weird" like me, obviously Bannon and company would be harmless, but I think we all know he and his friends aren't so harmless.

Having actually read the site a bit, I think it's reputation is exaggerated, but even if I took your view at face-value, all it would prove is that Bannon is willing to do or use whatever or whoever he thinks is necessary to pursue his agenda, which is likely very different than you think. Bloomber did a pretty in depth profile of him a while back, you should read it:

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/grap ... ve-bannon/

Here's a transcript of a speech he gave at the Vatican:

http://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism ... ire-world/

This guy wants to put bankers in jail and usher in a new era of capitalism that benefits the masses rather than the few; real Darth Vader stuff, huh? Like I said though, the guy is weird, read the articles and you'll see.

Wow, you managed to misquote me and slander Bannon in a single sentence, almost impressive.

Is there really any slandering someone who already went low enough to run a segregationist NEWS site? Also it's plainly apparent I didn't quote you at all. He conflated "Black Lives Matter" with the perceptual effects of crack cocaine.

You cannot be serious.

You said Breitbart started with Bannon & his ilk blackmailing Hillary with iffy accusations composed from deep web sources.

We're certainly going to need a hypervigilant Congress to hold off the potential excesses of the Executive Branch.

Bannon.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it must be a racist motherf*cker.

Hmm..... :chin:
I got a TOS a few days ago for writing a "provocative" post not too unlike this.

I'm sure Bannon isn't the one dimensional, Victorian era stage villain, twirling his mustache. That said, both the fascists and Nazis had talked about siding with working people in order to make capitalism work. Then Hitler went and broke the German unions, a blow from which the German working class never recovered from till the end of the Nazi era. An no, I'm not saying that Bannon or his master are Hitler or Nazis; I'm saying that if people say something good along something disgusting, you can be pretty sure what is the real intention falls into the disgusting category. And seriously, a guy who had worked for Goldman-Sachs is going to suddenly be a champion against Wall Street? Especially since Trump himself has an abysmal record when it comes to treating his workers and small contractors particularly well.
And before you say it, I will: yes, Clinton had been way too cozy with Wall Street, and Obama had no business hiring on former Goldman-Sachs douche bags. The only way to have gotten those vampires' claws free from the White House is if Bernie Sanders had been elected President, or if Elizabeth Warren runs - and wins - four years from now.

Let's recap:
-Characterizes African Americans as an inherently implosive powder keg.
-Goldman Sachs; enough said there.
-Purports opposition to 'big media' atop banner ads for Breitbart merchandise & below FB/Twitter buttons.
-Advocates against freedom of religion.

If this guy gets sworn into any executive position as upholding the constitution he'll be lying with his hand on a bible. I'm not gonna typecast the guy because he's obviously too subversive for that to possibly matter but I'm also definitely not going to recognize any public service he might render in this country.
