'We Are Ascendant!' Defiant Steve Bannon Addresses Replacement Theory
Conservative podcaster Steve Bannon on Monday vowed not to back down in promoting a racist conspiracy theory that was allegedly cited by suspected Buffalo gunman Payton Gendron.

Conservative podcaster Steve Bannon on Monday vowed not to back down in promoting a racist conspiracy theory that was allegedly cited by suspected Buffalo gunman Payton Gendron.
On his daily War Room: Pandemic podcast, Bannon insisted reports about the "replacement theory" were meant to distract the public. Bannon has previously promoted a French book that inspired the theory, which claims that white citizens are being replaced by immigrants.
"Of course, all of the morning shows are all over Tucker Carlson and a few others about the replacement theory," Bannon complained. "They seem to miss the point. And here's what we're not going to back off on. For people who have followed this show from day one, we are inclusive nationalists. Right?"
Bannon said that he was "not backing off one inch" despite the shooting.

Nick Fuentes' racist "groyper" movement is building a coalition with far-right Catholics. They have a plan
By Kathryn Joyce and Ben Lorber
(snip)
In today's groyper movement, classic white nationalist themes of "white genocide," white identity politics and conspiratorial antisemitism blend seamlessly with fervent appeals to Christian piety, slogans like "Christ is King" and militant calls to enshrine Christian fundamentalism as state policy. Most groypers are young and enthusiastic adherents of Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Latter-day Saints or other Christian faith traditions, and many are first drawn into the movement through its ubiquitous "trad" subculture a largely online aesthetic celebrating a rejection of modernity and embrace of patriarchal, anti-LGBTQ values and become "red-pilled" on the tenets of white nationalism along the way.
For the groypers, hard-edged, traditionalist opposition to LGBTQ rights, abortion and feminism is rooted in uncompromising misogyny and male supremacy, a worldview in which straight, white, Christian Gen-Z men are valorized as the rightful heirs to and guardians of the American nation. Today, the groypers' strategic blend of white and Christian nationalism has arrived right on time, helping the movement find natural allies among hard-right Christian groups particularly Catholic right groups like Church Militant and, from there, to build new pathways towards mainstream acceptance.
(snip)
Last November, (Church Militant) hosted a noisy, daylong rally on the Baltimore waterfront to protest the annual meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops next door. Church Militant's emcee for the event, fallen "alt-lite" star turned groyper leader Yiannopoulos who joined Church Militant as a regular contributor in 2021 after declaring himself "ex-gay" directed the roughly 1,200-person audience to chant "Lock them up" at the bishops gathered nearby. It was he, in fact, who reportedly arranged for Marjorie Taylor Greene to speak at Fuentes' AFPAC III in February.
Another groyper leader speaking at Church Militant's Baltimore rally was anti-immigrant pundit Michelle Malkin. The day after speaking at the white nationalist American Renaissance conference, Malkin told the Church Militant crowd that USCCB aid to immigrants and refugees had the "ultimate goal of fundamentally transforming the United States of America and destroying the historic American nation" white nationalist language that echoes the "great replacement" conspiracy theory, according to which whites in the U.S. are being "replaced" by non-white immigration.

(1,780 posts)...Nick Fuentes, and Michelle Malkin, who calls herself "Groyper Mommy"; Bannon and "Real America's Voice"--among others--are mainstreaming this crap. I first heard about the moronic Groypers on a Chapo Trap House episode. The Chapo guys were accosted at a CPAC conference by Fuentes and his "Groyper Army".

The officer corps is filled with idiots and dirtbags who cover for and help each other. The higher you go, the greater the percentage. I have seen a few exceptions to the rule (the head of the nuclear power program was surprisingly one), but they are rare.

Who is replacing who in replacement theory?
These racists think brown/black/Jews/whatever are replacing European Americans like what happened to Native Americans.

(1,780 posts)...and Nick Fuentes jump onboard these movements, somehow thinking they're going to ride the tiger, and then get a bitter taste of reality. Roosh already tangled with the Stormfront thugs who threatened to kill him. Apparently, Nazis think that when you LARP as an Iranian MRA/PUA, that's "degeneracy" punishable by a lynching. Who knew?!
As for Nick, "fuck around and find out": Nazis don't care that you "look white" when your name is "Fuentes".
He will discover sooner than he thinks that those trains are coming for him, too...and believe me, those trains run on time.
