Steve Bannon's face should be designated a terrorist organization.

Private and public? So just schools in general? Or is home schooling ok? Oh, but I'm sure you want some books burned first.

What has caused the misconception that there are only a few of them? That's a dangerous and incorrect assumption.

10% want the world to burn. 10% don’t want it to burn. The others don’t have strong feelings and can be convinced either way.

Education is a threat to fascism. They want dumb people who will buy what they are selling.

Sure. Let's also designate grocery stores as terrorist organizations. Gyms. Maker spaces. Libraries. Gas stations. 'Terrorist organization' is a useless term now.

And remember:

That's the way it's been used in the US since 9/11/2001. Not sure about other places.

Brits have been using it that way for centuries. Go dig through papers from the 1800s, you'll find them describing anyone resisting their colonialism as "terrorists". Legally, the US is working from the exact same definition that British common law uses.

10

That makes sense, since, as far as i can tell, the U.S. seems to be a modern hybrid of the British empire which spawned it and the German war machine it assimilated into itself about 80 years ago.

It's amazing how much damage Bin Laden did to America by killing what traffic does in a few weeks (or toddlers with guns in a decade). Trillions in debt, scared shitless and divided like never before.

That was his entire goal. He was very smart and knew those attacks would trigger the mania it spawned, pushing American culture down the path it ultimately took.

When I was young, an age ago, the word terrorist had a specific meaning, which was someone committing shocking acts to strike fear and hysteria into the general public and thereby influence society and policy.

Then 9/11 happened and although the 19 attackers were most definitely terrorists by the old definition, somehow the definition drifted until it meant “inhuman opponent against whom we are justified to suspend the rules and respond in any way we want to.”

Ironically, this usage itself is designed to inspire fear and keep people from looking too closely at what’s happening. “Oh no! Terrorists! Fine! Just kill them! Keep us safe!” Using people’s fear to justify whatever our military and government want to do comes ominously close to the old definition of terrorism.

This is the strategist behind gamergate and the strategy of "flooding the zone". Its hard to think of someone more responsible for the alt right movement than him

its not even original, its a russian tactic, called firehose of falsehood, flood MEDIA with so much BS, THEY cant concentrate on one. and guess what trump is doing, flooding media with BS, so they cant concentrate one thing.

That's not a problem. Without trained and qualified engineers, architects and construction workers, soon the 'prisons' will just be a shoddily fenced easily escapable dirt arena.

I could not fucking believe what I was seeing, some months back, when somebody posted either a link to, or a green text clip talking about a tiktok video where...

... Some young adult, thought it would be cool to 'pretend' (?) to off himself by holding a loaded gun to his head and pull the trigger.

A semi auto pistol.

This guy... not only did he not even check to make sure there was no rounds in the magazine, muchless drop out or empty the mag, he didn't check to make sure no round in the chamber...

He manually flipped the safety off before doing this.

Yeah, he died, in the middle of an otherwise bragadocious display of being hard and not giving a fuck.

.... The whole thing was so stupid and absurd that I still cannot actually tell whether or not he intentionally, or accidentally, offed himself.

You are probably right, but as someone with, you know, basic firearms familiarization and safety training...

Yeah, I am nearly incapable of imagining someone could be that fucking stupid, all by accident, its basically exactly what not to do, perfectly.

On the other hand, a lot of people are incredibly stupid, hence the Darwin Award.

I mean, if it were up to me, it would be illegal to purchase or possess a firearm without some kind of certificate you've passed some kind of firearms training course and also hold a first aid / trauma response certification.

Was wondering when they were going to start closing down universities for being "communist". Looks like we're heading to that stage now.

I live in Oklahoma and what they are doing with the public school system is terrifying. Our kids are already at a disadvantage and now they are adding Christian bs and getting rid of books. The next generation of kids to come out of Oklahomas public schools are going to be indoctrinated on a terrifying level

17

its actually pretty bad now, posts from r/teacher piqued my interest. and its mostly the teacher saying students are reading at a 1-6 grade level in HS, reading comprehension is very kindergarden at their age, plus writing paragraphs and essays, forget it. also writing, pronouncing is another matter. Math is also pretty poor in these students too.(COVID did kinda make it worst). grammar and paper writing is way above thier "knowledge"

Given that their distractions have increasingly become as destructive if not even moreso than the thing they're distracting from, it's possible.

More likely that's it's just culture war bombast designed to reinforce the whole "everyone except us are evil and dangerous" groupthink that they're using for cohesion, though, IMO.

12

Well yeah. That's what I mean by ensuring cohesion: make them think that every vulnerable and persecuted population group is destroying their lives so that they don't notice that the least vulnerable and most privileged of all people are the ones ACTUALLY doing so.

All schooling? Sounds like Steve Bannon wants to ban home schooling and wants to make Sunday school illegal.

lemmy.world

Reminder that Bannon plead guilty for fraud because he created a fake "build the wall group" that asked for donations to build a racist wall. Bannon instead pocketed the money using it to live in lavish luxury.

Dude is opposed to schools because he needs more people to fleece.

If you want him to succumb to alcoholism faster send him whiskey. Preferably made in mexico to keep his blood pressure up.

Okay that’s kind of hilarious. Absolutely vile, evil guy but I’m not going to hold that one against him. Just wish I’d thought of it first

I remember growing up that everyone knew what Marxism is and had a thoroughly developed class consciousness. Everyone was capable of developing a critique of capital. He might be onto something. It explains why America has such strong labor, free universal healthcare, and no bourgeoisie.

Not being snarky, but that sounds exactly like a drunk rant.

And yeah, schools are devastating our children, but it ain't the Marxists and globalists. I could rant for an hour, that's a whole 'nother post.

Steve Bannon need his throat chakra realigned. No more talking from him will be just fine. If I can smell him from wherever I am, I will make some soup later on. Again, I say If I can smell him from wherever I am, I am making some soup. It is getting near sweater & soup season.

I agree; if nobody could read, none of us would have to read the stupid shit this moron says and we would all be better for it

What a great talking point from Mr. "Flood the Zone". Let's all focus on that instead of the Epstein files!

Tbf, schools are sort of indoctrination camps.

That said, getting rid of school so that kids would end up learning 0%, instead of the currently 50% useful stuff* isn't exactly gonna solve problems.

(*since the other 50% is indoctrination)

The far right doesn't really want to get rid of school, they just want to control more of it so that instead of the 50% center-right indoctrination, it'd become 100% far right nationalist indoctrination with their agenda instead.

When will someone end this mouth-breathing waste? In one-on-one combat, I will happily end him if the coward agrees. I'll even do it on live TV/Streaming. I'm 54, overweight (230lb) and WAY out of shape, very flabby ( I still make sweet-potato hitler look FAT), and untrained. And I will still beat the shit-eater Bannon. He's all talk and all useless.

Understood. Let it be known the ANY family without the means to fund their education is a terroist cell. Let's see how that affects voting
