Steve Bannon, a former adviser to Donald Trump, will be released from prison on Tuesday.
The timing puts him back in front of the media exactly one week before Election Day – and he’s already called his first press conference, which will take place just hours after his scheduled release.
On Tuesday, Bannon will have served his four-month prison term, which came with a $6,500 fine.
He was sentenced on two counts of contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena related to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.
Well, we both had different groups in mind with the label then.
I really am talking about the subset that were taken down the pipeline and who were not shit heads before that.
It’s definitely true that there is a whole group of weak shit heads who decide on this world view with little outside influence. The hopeful side of me wants to perceive this group as smaller than the group that was truly taken advantage of.
Shitty behavior is shitty behavior. Don’t get me wrong, I hate this gamergate incel shit.
Yeah. These people aren’t new though. Pushback to progress from reactionaries that are insecure with their own masculinity is well documented over the last century-ish. Possibly longer but I’ve only read about such a thing since the end of world war 2.
I see.
“Incel” and the archetype seem to be newer. And the phenomenon much larger in recent times. What was it labeled in the time before that? My gut instinct says it’s indistinct like many things are. Similar to having names for mental disorders now that we didn’t have back then. So there would have been lots of various labels for that type of guy. Never really coalescing until “incel” was popularized.
You take a broader and broader view of the group as our conversation goes on. I’ve been looking at the more recent phenomenon. And I’ve been focused on a group just of men/boys who are at a point in their lives before they are snatched by the incel ideology.
It’s a dreadful situation.
I guess it’s probably important to point out though that the ultraviolence against women in the incel community is new as far as I know, probably because they weren’t able to communicate in such closed and broad reaching communities before the internet.
