Another one interpretation is "Look how silly SJWs are to believe the 4Chan prank about this being a white power symbol. Let's continue to troll them."
- zimpenfish 8y ago> I think that is the least charitable interpretation of him performing that gesture. He's posing with two virulent white supremacists. If you lie down with dogs, you might not get fleas but everyone will certainly think you have.
- gadders 8y agoHe's posing with two right-wing journalists or ex-journalists. I realise "White Supremacist" is the insult-du-jour, but when you apply it to people who aren't actually racist, you just undermine your own credibility. It's like calling everyone in the Democratic party a communist.
- denerio-a 8y agoAre you accusing someone of being misleading while calling Steve fucking Bannon “an ex-journalist”? Christ.. I don’t think this level of obfuscation should be left unchallenged. What are you trying to do here exactly?
- gadders 8y agoI mis-spoke. I guess you would call him a media executive? Wikipedia says: "Bannon was a founding member of the board of Breitbart News"
- jamespo 8y agoChuck C. Johnson isn't actually racist. LOL.
- patrickg_zill 8y agoExplain to me how a guy surrounded by Jewish people at Goldman Sachs could rise up in the organization and leave as a vice president of the company, if he was truly anti- Semitic. He would have to be a better actor than Ben Kingsley and Laurence Olivier combined. After Goldman he worked in Hollywood btw.
- zimpenfish 8y agoPerhaps he pivoted after he left Goldman Sachs? Plus there's many examples of people who have managed to keep their beliefs and/or outside lives well away from the people they work with. Many serial/spree killers have had someone quoted afterwards saying they were the nicest person and you'd never think it, etc. It really doesn't require great acting.
- patrickg_zill 8y agoSo you are remotely diagnosing and mind reading... Cool.
- tashi 8y agoHistory shows that you'd only need to be as good an actor as Mel Gibson.
- patrickg_zill 8y agoHe'd have to be better. Think about it...
- tashi 8y agoNo luck figuring out what reason you have in mind. Want to explain?
- patrickg_zill 8y agoGibson got caught. So for anyone else to not be caught they would have to be better than Gibson.
