Steve Bannon isn't calling Musk "racist" as much as he's saying Musk's the wrong type of racist. I hope these two feud for a long time.
Exactly. When Bannon says that word he means “Elon’s not hiring enough white people.”
For real, lmao. Absolutely none of it is over the actual racist shit he’s done, this is just more white nationalist chest beating.
Oh my god
I never thought I would live to see the day when ranked competitive racism made its triumphant return
NA Racists getting angry about pros from other regions ruining the local scene
he's complaining like a plat jealous of gm. shouldn't sell himself short; he's at least diamond to masters level racist
maybe they're worried he's boosting his racism like he did with poe
I didn't think it was possible to sound racist while disparaging racists. 🤯
Just the idea of The Night of Long Knives Part II: Holy Shit You Idiots Did It Again keeps me going sometimes
Literally going for the "racism is a crime, and crime is for black people" approach.
Makes me sick that I agree with Steve Bannon on something.
A "stopped clock" and all that I guess...
That's about what I expect from Bannon, yeah.
Wow. I agree with Steve Bannon on something. Fuck this universe.
Just remember his version of racism is against white people... So you might agree with the term he is using, I bet you would not agree on how me defines it
A broken clock is right twice a day.
Pot, kettle, etc.
Throw some corn in there and crank up the heat.
Someone's jealous of daddies attention
Notice me, Daddy!
Pot, meet Kettle. You two have so much in common.
Bannon's just mad that he's not part if the Trump "in-crowd" anymore and the government looting train is leaving without him on it.
"Listen, I'm evil. I hang out with other people who are evil. So be assured I know what evil is, and Elon is truly evil," said Bannon, probably.
Takes one to know one, I guess?
I heard Elon was going to build a border wall in Mars just so us Mexicans can't jump there.
It'll be an arms race against the genetically-modified jumping beans.
That's just for us legal Mexican American people. The "illegals" get shot by the new satellite system with free WiFi!
Illegals... Just imagine one day, you're all grown up and somebody informs you that you are illegal... Not that you've done something illegal, you as a whole are a specifically corrupt thing.
Bannon is sad that he's no longer president and that Musk is.
The H1B visa blow-up is the plutocrat wing championed by musk getting their way over the more strict white supremacists represented by bannon.
So why did bannon call musk racist - which counts as complement for their base - rather than a race-traitor, which their supporters would agree is bad?
Does he think non-magaites will only now realize musk is massively racist and jump on team bannon? I truly do not understand.
He is left language to try and be heard outside the right... It's making the headlines, so it's working to a certain extent
Sure, it's definitely making headlines. But it doesn't seem... purposeful I guess? Who is the target audience for this message? How does it possibly further bannon's interests?
I can't imagine any of musk's support being eroded because bannon thinks he's racist, and no one left of mussolini is gonna join team bannon.
Monkeys throw poop. You can probably find KKK members that think to themselves “I’m not racist, it’s just that {insert race slur of choice} is the problem”. Bannon is trying to give them targets.
There are some people on the right who like to tell themselves that they're not racists, and cling to that shit whenever possible. I think he is speaking directly to those people.
And if anyone would know an evil racist, it'd be someone who looks at one in a mirror every day.
Sounds awfully woke
Kids, you're all just terrible.
Who cares, fuck Bannon. People worth listening to say it too, let's talk about them and not give Bannon attention.
He's AGAINST racism now? Strange.
Love it when the hyenas starts eating eachothers.
Ah, the racist's racist.
If either of them said that if myself I'd wear it as a badge of honor knowing I did something to piss them off.
I mean banon literally sold a bridge (wall) to mouth gaping imbeciles and went to jail for it. Who the fuck is he calling evil?
ESH
Fan of Camp of the Saints, calling others racist? Crazy world we live in
