Yet so far the liberal world order has made no serious intellectual effort to understand the Wave, leaving the task to late-night comedians. They have preferred to depict it as the product of subhuman, bigoted minds whose feeble arguments can be contemptuously dismissed by symbolically floating rubber blimps over London; or by falling back on explanations such as Nazism, despite the fact we are in the wrong century, without a recent world war, in the middle of an economic boom and the beneficiaries of too many decades of politically correct instruction for that thesis to be easily accepted.
Watch the Bannon interview, too. (h/t Raid)
today it’s Putin and Russia…..tomorrow it will be something else
..but we will always have maxine
Impeachment again?
I am so tired of hearing Impeachment, Impeachment, Impeachment.
And I think most Americans are tired of hearing it also.
What was it a month ago, Immigration?
Last week, Children at the border and meeting with Putin?
This week he misspoke and apologized for his Russia comments?
I’m Taking bets that next week it will be- Allowing Muller to interview 16 Russians if Putin can interview 4 Americans.
They have screamed ‘Wolf’ so many times, no one believes their shit anymore.
Stop yapping and get those articles of impeachment written out, And remember you need a high crime or misdemeanor.
Idiots.
I like Bannon.
When your enemy is making a mistake…. don’t interrupt them.
Fascinating interview for what it revealed. I gather this was NBC. The reporter lost complete control of his narrative by about the fifth minute. You know how desperate he was when he’s trying to portray populist nationalism as fascism. He was also clearly desperate when countered on the real aspect of who benefits and who suffers from illegal immigration. Also fascinating was the reporter’s contradictions. At some points he’s claiming he’s just asking questions, and at others he’s claiming he wants to understand. What he didn’t want, illustrated by his constant interrupting, is to actually let Bannon speak coherently. All in all, this was a superb illustration of why so many of us entirely disregard the bleatings of the Kommentariat.
I think Bannon required that the interview be published in full (i.e. unedited), because he knew (correctly) that he’d have to backup and deal with the deliberate smearing. The reporter kept saying that they only had half an hour, yet the interview went 45 minutes because Bannon wouldn’t let him get away with it.
yes, euronews = NBC
Thanks, JDN, that’s what I thought. Clearly the reporter was vastly out of his depth and truly desperate. Doing the time-play about the half-hour as he did is a frantic attempt to get Bannon to rush his replies. All this young turd was looking to do was to scoop some quick and dirty quotes that could be spliced to enhance NBC’s party line of “populism is fascism”. Having been involved on the receiving side of this sort of crap many years ago, we both know that this silly fart was being fed with loaded questions and follow-ups from his producer via an ear-bug. That’s at least part of the reason why he’s off-screen.
The interviewer … just like that BBC woman who got schooled by Jordan Peterson … is living in a sealed echo chamber, where nothing penetrates. He didn’t hear, or react to a single thing Bannon was (frankly) lecturing him about. He simply repeated the script … Populism = Nationalism = Nazism.
Newsflash! There are MORE … people … than elites. We WILL throw off the chains of our overlords. The people yearn to be FREE more than they yearn FREE STUFF.
What good is cheap WalMart shit made in China if you don’t have a job? Duh. How DUMB are these Havaaad educated elites?
They’re not dumb, Kenji. They simply assume that as part of the elite they will be insulated from the consequences visited on the hoi-polloi. Joblessness is something that exists in ‘flyover country’. They have a vested personal interest in sycophantic journalism, both on a personal, practical level and because their social-science training has indoctrinated them that way. The French aristocracy looking out the windows of Versailles didn’t care about the misery of the urban and rural poor either. Their very living standard depended on royal favour and the granting of trading privileges and monopolies.
So it is today. The elite depend for their income on crony capitalism or a huge range of government grants. This doesn’t make them stupid. Selfish perhaps, but that usually ends up badly.
Agreed. Not dumb, just focused so far inward on themselves, that they don’t even see the angry natives with pitchforks setting fire to their keep. Not until the flames consumed HER in an EPIC conflagration of electoral FAILURE!
It appears to me as though the elites are now offering Socialism-Lite to those voters who don’t really want to work for a living. This is how they believe they can regain power. Bribe the lazy. Bribe the immigrants. How else do they propose to fight against Trump’s economic successes?
I don’t believe The PEOPLE … the REAL PEOPLE … will happily return to the Elitist, Globalist, corporate subjugation.
I really enjoyed seeing this interview… nice to see Steve take apart the partial quote that the interviewer asked him to comment on.
I’d put my money on the current iteration of populism being a reaction to the ruling class. Not the liberal ruling class, the conservative ruling class, the socialist or technocratic…the entire authoritarian ruling class. Thats why it is happening on the right and left. Occupy Wall Street, the Tea Party, Trump and Brexit were a giant middle finger to the arrogance and corruption of the ruling class which includes politicians, celebrities, media, corporate VIPs and academics. The hissy fits and abusive manipulations by the ruling class that have followed pretty much ensures that what follows could very well be worse than giving them the middle finger.
It’s aggravating to be scolded and looked down on by crooks, hypocrites, liars and pseudo-intellectuals of the ruling class. The chasm isn’t income inequality, IMO, it’s a chasm of power inequality. The ruling class use their wealth and SES to manipulate the rules to benefit themselves and their pet causes, without consent of the voters. You vote for policy A,B,C but those promises are quickly broken after the election and you get expensive, stupid policies D through Z instead. If you complain, you get called uneducated,racist or whatever slur is currently popular with politicians, the media, the entertainment industry and academics. They show no signs of sharing their power willingly or with grace and understanding I’m afraid.
LC sums it up perfectly.
The difference the writer claims to see,something different this time?, is civilization working.
In the 1770’s we had no peaceful way to reeducate the parasites,so the most effective ways broke out all over.
There is no way to “negotiate” with parasites.
Today we are trying the ballot box.
So far President trump is looking reasonably effective,making it seem to voters that more MAGA might just work.
As in vote in more real conservatives and slaughter the Uni-Party members at the polls.
This is the preferred path for a wealthy civil society.
If this method fails,the old methods await.
Absolutely right, LC. It wasn’t some vast plot that burned down the Bastille in 1789. It was an outraged public in a France with about 65% rural unemployment and being saddled with one massive tax increase after another. France had had many peasant revolts before, and nothing much came of any of them. The difference in 1789 was that the middle class joined them. The leaders of the revolution only came to the surface after the public revolt against the principal oppressive symbol of absolute rule. Quite simply, ALL of the public was thoroughly exasperated and had had enough.
And so today, Trump didn’t start the revolution, not Bannon and not Breitbart. It was the Tea Party which started it roughly at the beginning of the Obama presidency. When Trump went to Davos in January it was akin to Danton taunting the aristocratic faction in the States General, effectively saying “We’re going to burn your elitist house down.”
Of course not. Their goal remains the expropriation and extermination of every human being posing a meaningful threat to their absolute power—essentially, every human being with an IQ above 70 and able to function outside a cult compound or a prison where every important decision is made for them.
They hate us, because we refused to willingly become slave labourers living worse than dogs in some insane fantasy of a socialist commonwealth under their control, and they want our stink gone from their nostrils once and for all.
The class war is real enough. Until the election of Donald Trump, the elites were winning. Now the tide has turned.
Spot on LC. And IMHO … the revolutionaries (all of US) are far more intelligent than we are considered by the Elites. When was the last time someone said that SHE was the … “smartest woman in the world”? I guess all US dumb, uneducated, slack-jawed, deplorables … were smart-enough to punch the correct chad? And punch HER out.
cathy newman / jordan peterson interview v2.0 (notbbc4) hahaha.
Everyone Is Smart Except Trump
That’s why they all are billionaires and all got elected president.
It really is quite simple. Everyone is smart except Donald J. Trump. That’s why they all are billionaires and all got elected President. Only Trump does not know what he is doing. Only Trump does not know how to negotiate with Vladimir Putin. Anderson Cooper knows how to stand up to Putin. The whole crowd at MSNBC does. All the journalists do.
They could not stand up to Matt Lauer at NBC. They could not stand up to Charlie Rose at CBS. They could not stand up to Mark Halperin at NBC. Nor up to Leon Wieseltier at the New Republic, nor Jann Wenner at Rolling Stone, nor Michael Oreskes at NPR, at the New York Times, or at the Associated Press. But — oh, wow! — can they ever stand up to Putin! Only Trump is incapable of negotiating with the Russian tyrant.

And let me add … that even when Trump says “stupid” things like … “I prefer War Hero’s who don’t get captured” … there was a raw, unvarnished, kernel of TRUTH in the statement that resonated with us commoners. Even as I winced upon hearing it … I silently acknowledged that he had a good point. Not because McCain served, was captured, and tortured … but how he has traded upon that fact, embellished his “heroism” … and orchestrated his own praise.
And now look at what has become of that “War Hero” … Mr. McCain has revealed his TRUE self to the entire world. That he is a FRAUD. He is FAR worse than a RINO … he’s a full fledged Trojan Horse Democrat. And his bitter recriminations, rankings, and votes are tainting his image as he slips toward a horrible death. MY President EXPOSES the fakirs and frauds throughout the political class and their guard dog media.
The PEOPLE love how he baits and exposes these ROTTEN elites with ROTTEN souls.
This may be the wrong group to make this statement of Complaint… I am an American and my generation would NEVER falsely accuse another American of Treason, or question their Patriotism… The term un-American does not have an American meaning. Every American makes an individual decision of what makes his or her America.. The Word suggests a collective defined behavior (Foreign)
The NFL Players taking a Knee are not un-American or unpatriotic… They are just pissing Off the NFL & their Fans.. Nobody should believe they are playing to Win and their past performance makes that obvious,, Instead of preparing themselves to play they are demonstrating that those paying them are fools..
JMHO
Agreed. The NFL players have every “right” to express themselves on the job site, and intentionally back their employers into a no win corner. Jesse Jackson has been pulling this stunt for years … shaking down Businesses by threatening to scream RACIST in a crowded Corporation. In return for his silence, and/or endorsement, Jesse has collected $M’s
The NFL players are shaking-down their employers, forcing them to admit their customers are all RACISTS. That their customers routinely brutalize the poor innocent criminals, er innocent black men for no reason other than their skin color. Lie about, and kick your customers in the balls … and yet … expect them to return to the stadium?
Good luck with that. Just as your players may now hide from the National Anthem … ashamed … angry … defiant … inside the locker room. So too, we … can remain in our automobiles as we pass by your publicly financed stadiums … on our way to the Zoo … where the animals are better behaved.
Did Benedict Arnold make an individual decision of what makes his America? Or Aaron Burr? Or Tokyo Rose? By your definition there is no such thing as a traitor.
I don’t know I would call the NFL players who disrespected National Flag and Anthem traitors, but I would definitely question their patriotism. The National Flag and Anthem are only symbols, but they are visible and audible representations of the country. The country as the republic founded by the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, which can withstand whatever wrongs committed by anyone currently in power. I suffered eight long years watching the republic in disarray, but I would never have thought of desecrating the national symbols because I despised whom my fellow Americans chose to elect as President. Desecration of the national symbols goes way beyond disagreement with the present administration, it is disavowing the nation.
To point out those players have no patriotism is not falsely accusing them. It is pointing out a fact.
“Did Benedict Arnold make an individual decision of what makes his America? Or Aaron Burr? Or Tokyo Rose? By your definition there is no such thing as a traitor.”
I would remind you that the USA didn’t exist when Benedict Arnold betrayed GEN Washington during the WAR of independence…(He went to the UK and died there). It would have been a mistake to shot him, he was an English Officer
Aaran Burr: His activities eventually led to his arrest on charges of treason in 1807. The subsequent trial resulted in acquittal
Tokyo Rose was FAKE News by Japan (she was not an Individual) just like CNN “May” fake American emotion…The Rule of Law must play the role of fact finder & a Judgement of Treason made… Those that scream treason are mentally ill
The Film that has been made of Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg has a scene where she scolds the Judicial Bench “Freedom is not a Right” That film does an injustice to America unless they explain that the First Amendment is FREEDOM and/ or Ginsberg was a lying whore who is still lying….The General public is never served by blatant lies
