The Crucifix is not "a Catholic totem"! Its a religious symbol whose meaning is widely understood throughout Western society and Christianity generally.
It was noxious to many Elizabethan Protestants and would not have been much seen after about 1560 in Anglican churches (the Chapel Royal being a notable exception). In 16th century England its use would have been a very clear marker of confessional identity.
Not just Bannon, but Musk, Ramaswamy, JD Vance, Peter Thiel, et al, are proponents of this. Deeply concerned that no one's ringing alarm bells about these crackpots taking major positions in government, especially given Elon's "temporary hardship" remark, with the intent of overthrowing the government.
About 10 years ago I was deeply involved in Republican state politics in Arkansas. There's a wealthy CEO I crossed paths with back then who talked about how collapse needed to be brought about in America before things could get better. It made no sense at the time, but in hindsight, I believe he's also a Yarvinist. He's still a major player here.
In short, they're essentially white supremacist who are afraid of becoming a minority in a democracy and this is their rationalization for seizing power. I keep thinking that surely the IC is aware and already on it, but it's startling that no one is the news is saying much about it.
Really enjoyed this and I agree about some of these so-called intellectuals, who appear to prefer the conspiratorial approach to many contemporary issues. He was so wordly and a bit up himself, truth be told. I prefer listening to people who use critical thinking to come to their conclusions; he was rambling a lot and constantly deferring back to himself. We should worry about how many people get their news from Facebook, X and the like and how many of these type of 'intellectuals' reside there.
