Steve Bannon Suggests There Are Too Many Asian CEOs in Silicon Valley
- stephenr 10y agoXenophobic shit head says xenophobic things. News at 11.
- ronzensci 10y agoHe is the chief strategist of the president-elect of the most powerful economy of the world. IMHO, should feature on News at 9.
- stephenr 10y agoMy point was, how is anyone surprised by this? Everyone always complains when politicians break their campaign promises once elected. Trump had a fucking train wreck of a campaign, you name it, he was found to have done/said it. He still won. But now people are so surprised that him/his staff act exactly the same way him/his staff acted for the last 20 years. Congratulations America, he isn't the president you need, but he's the president you fucking deserve.

No, he got an Electoral College victory on the technicalities of the Electoral College, while Clinton won a larger popular-vote majority than Nixon or Johnson did. >Congratulations America, he isn't the president you need, but he's the president you fucking deserve. The world will never deserve another Hitler. The Trump administration must be resisted at every turn.
- flukus 10y ago> No, he got an Electoral College victory on the technicalities of the Electoral College, while Clinton won a larger popular-vote majority than Nixon or Johnson did. So he won. Don't change the definition of winning after the game.
- eli_gottlieb 10y agoThis is not a game. This is whether the human race lives or dies.
- flukus 10y agoIf it's that serious then don't get bogged down in semantics about whether he won or not.
- mywittyname 10y ago> But now people are so surprised that him/his staff act exactly the same way him/his staff acted for the last 20 years. We are not surprised. It's the fact that ignoring this behavior is as good as accepting it.
- ronzensci 10y agoI think this is exactly what has been getting the alt-right folks the reach & the engagement and getting them elected in several countries worldwide. It is that the rational thinking folks feel it is not worth their time to engage in such statements from the radical right and is best to ignore them. We need to accept the fact that the mainstream media world over doesn't have the pulse of what the masses are thinking and feeling. The sooner we accept that the better it is for all involved in media based communication professions.
- ElEmEnOhP 10y ago>While Bannon didn’t explicitly say anything against immigrants, he seemed to hint at the idea of a white nationalist identity with the phrase “civic society.” Taken in tandem with the stories Bannon allowed to go up on Breitbart News, including pieces that attacked women, feminists, political correctness, muslims, and trans people, Bannon’s comment wouldn’t come as a surprise. It really, to me, looks like The Verge filling in any nebulous statement with "White Nationalism" to appease their audiences desire to virtue signal against this administration further. That's not how honest reporting should be done.
- flukus 10y agoSo does hacker news support reverse discrimination against privilege or not today? Assuming this is true of course.
