A distraction so people don't fight back against billionaires?
Given that their distractions have increasingly become as destructive if not even moreso than the thing they're distracting from, it's possible.
More likely that's it's just culture war bombast designed to reinforce the whole "everyone except us are evil and dangerous" groupthink that they're using for cohesion, though, IMO.
What the fuck does that even mean?
God these fucking weird freaks are the fucking worst.
Education is a threat to fascism. They want dumb people who will buy what they are selling.
Is "terrorist" their new code word for "I don't like this"
That's the way it's been used in the US since 9/11/2001. Not sure about other places.
It's amazing how much damage Bin Laden did to America by killing what traffic does in a few weeks (or toddlers with guns in a decade). Trillions in debt, scared shitless and divided like never before.
That was his entire goal. He was very smart and knew those attacks would trigger the mania it spawned, pushing American culture down the path it ultimately took.
Brits have been using it that way for centuries. Go dig through papers from the 1800s, you'll find them describing anyone resisting their colonialism as "terrorists". Legally, the US is working from the exact same definition that British common law uses.
That makes sense, since, as far as i can tell, the U.S. seems to be a modern hybrid of the British empire which spawned it and the German war machine it assimilated into itself about 80 years ago.

I remember growing up that everyone knew what Marxism is and had a thoroughly developed class consciousness. Everyone was capable of developing a critique of capital. He might be onto something. It explains why America has such strong labor, free universal healthcare, and no bourgeoisie.
Steve Bannon need his throat chakra realigned. No more talking from him will be just fine. If I can smell him from wherever I am, I will make some soup later on. Again, I say If I can smell him from wherever I am, I am making some soup. It is getting near sweater & soup season.
he always looks unkempt, like he is having a hangover everyday.
I think if a skidmark were in human form, it would be him.
Tbf, schools are sort of indoctrination camps.
That said, getting rid of school so that kids would end up learning 0%, instead of the currently 50% useful stuff* isn't exactly gonna solve problems.
(*since the other 50% is indoctrination)
The far right doesn't really want to get rid of school, they just want to control more of it so that instead of the 50% center-right indoctrination, it'd become 100% far right nationalist indoctrination with their agenda instead.
I suspect that this time, they want to get rid of the children too.
These "people" want to snuff out humanity itself. They have AI now and each other.
I suspect that this time, they want to get rid of the children too.
The pedophiles won't be too happy about that.
Maybe this old fucking pisshead should stay away from children. Just sayin
And adults too, for that matter.
I'm for "biological metabolism" staying away from him, including processes currently in-situ in the host organism.
go back to drinking, you homeless looking drunk.
Please don't insult the unhoused by comparing them to this shithead.
Oh ok, education is terrorism.
Goooottttt it.
Welp, this bodes poorly.
Words too many, too big, you prison go
That's not a problem. Without trained and qualified engineers, architects and construction workers, soon the 'prisons' will just be a shoddily fenced easily escapable dirt arena.

Steve Bannon's face should be designated a terrorist organization.
Or public urinal. I'd be good with either.
Or a Superfund site. Maybe a tactical ethanol reserve.

So everyone is a terrorist except MAGA?
"When you think everybody in the room is an asshole, you're the asshole."
It’s still always projection

Private and public? So just schools in general? Or is home schooling ok? Oh, but I'm sure you want some books burned first.

Sure. Let's also designate grocery stores as terrorist organizations. Gyms. Maker spaces. Libraries. Gas stations. 'Terrorist organization' is a useless term now.
And remember:
mechahitler, and NAZI barbie(LAURA ingraham)
I heard Steve Bannon is the secret leader of Antifa

he is one of the few people I truly believe just wants to watch the world burn
Yes, literally. He is a part of the Christian sect called Dominionists that are actively trying to bring about the rapture.
