Why do the women march in the USA for "rights" when the rights of women in countries such as Saudi Arabia and other countries are being trampled on daily?
This is something I've seen often repeated, and it makes no sense. Exactly what do you mean here? Are you trying to state the everything is peachy-keen for women here in the USA? Are you trying to suggest that since women have it so bad in Saudi, absolutely no sexism/sexual assualt and other men-on-women crimes don't occur here in the US. Surely you're better than this: how about a real insight from you personally, not some saw-it-online, thought-it-clever and deserved repetition from the troll-comments on NTY or The Guardian. But I guess the fact that you've replied with a vapid rhetorical question about Saudi women in the context of white supremacists speaks volumes....about you, that is.
Oh, and I guarantee YOU had never heard of Bannon until the liberal narrative of "HE'S A WHITE SUPREMACIST !!!" was introduced.
I've heard of Bannon. I've been monitoring neo-nazi, white-supremecist, and other far-right websites for examples of scientific racism since about 1998. And to be fair here: Bannon is left of those organizations/websites that I just mentioned. But he tended to pop up every so often on some of these sites awhile back (not that this would constitute his endorsement of them).
More to the point, your point is pretty weak: imagine that a small boy in New Foundland had never heard of Hitler...would that make his heinousness any less relevant? What does "YOU have never heard of Bannon" have to do with the fact that he is part of an organization who's fundamental principles are an attractor for racists, homophobes, and sexists--something, as you know, he's admitted (and has been quoted verbatim on)? Bannon headed up Briebart News, as you know, a corporation that he specifically called "the platform of the alt-right."
And here's some more alt-right
here,
here, and
here (please click on these links, and if you don't know what 14-88 is, then google it).
So you tell me me: what makes it acceptable in any way, shape, or form, that the advisor to the US president is even marginally associated with the dispicable views of the alt-right? I'm not saying you're defending him, but you're sure-as-sh1t aren't trying not to. And again, the fact that you've supplied a baffling rhetorical question about Bannon's perceived notoriety among liberals in the context of white supremacists speaks volumes about you.
What were you trying to accomplish in your last two posts? I'm truly puzzled.
