ORIGINAL: BoscoX If your bizarro world wacko alt left website isn't pure propaganda, Bannon was obviously referring to a defensive posture, just like Europe is taking by placing armed soldiers everywhere There was an armed soldier in the Brussels train station because of the Muslim threat, and we know that such defensive measures are wise This is how your delusions remain so strong-- if it isn't fake news, then it's not what it actually is. YES, it's fucked up-- but it's also WHAT YOU VOTED FOR. You voted for someone who listens to and appears on ALEX JONES but dismisses the NY Times as fake news. Your ignorant support of this is why America is now in the process of turning into a backwards shithole. Here's the quote again: quote:
In remarks to a 2014 conference at the Vatican, Bannon warned his Christian audience, "We're at the very beginning stages of a very brutal and bloody conflict." "We are in an outright war against jihadists, Islam, Islamic fascism," Bannon continued. He likewise condemned "the immense secularization of the West" and the increasing secularism among millennials. Bannon stressed that "the people in this room, and the people in the Church" must "bind together and really form what I feel is an aspect of the Church militant, to really be able to not just stand with our beliefs but to fight for our beliefs against this new barbarity that's starting that will literally eradicate everything that we've been bequeathed over the last 2,000 and 2,500 years." So this strikes you as a perfectly rational position? Describing Islam as a 'barbarity' that will bring about the end of 2500 years of Western civilization isn't something that someone who wanted a war with Islam would do? This isn't even the only time he has made reference to it. He's a fucking lunatic. The prophecy that drives ISIS in its quest to topple 'the new Rome' is just as scary, and there is absolutely no reason to believe that they wouldn't want to drive a wedge between non-extremist Muslims and the west. They see it as more warriors for their holy army, fellow Muslims they're saving from the corruption of western values. Exactly why do you think that this narrative is implausible? You think ISIS is more rational than that? You think that someone who appears on Alex Jones is above tinfoil hat conspiracy shit? Bannon is just misunderstood?
