not a fan but a good quote nonetheless

@sun something that an associate of epstein would say

@meowski that's a really good point, re-evaluating

@sun lol what is he even saying? there are conspiracies all over the place. and there are definitely coincidences too. so doubly weird

@meowski my position is that in politics there are definitely conspiracies. and that in politics, you can't afford to assume something is a coincidence even if they exist.

@sun especially around the kind of stuff bannon was reporting on, there is no shortage of conspiracies, and a lot of what appears to be coincidences probably isn't.

i always took it as some vague, blanket dismissal of "conspiracy theories" which is kind of a slimy position to take but fits with someone who is compromised by blackmail and wants to deflect

@meowski I'm basically retarded, I knew bannon was directly connected to Epstein, who was performing big conspiracies. And, arguably, he was direclty responsible for a bunch of psyop stuff on conservatives leading up to trump getting elected. so yea, actually he has a huge incentive to convince you that conspiracies don't exist.

@sun iirc i've seen photos of him on the island even, and he did a long interview with epstein that seemed like a whitewash, and didn't publish much of it, but i'm just going off memory. definitely close ties there.

bannon is kind of mainstream conservative inc for boomers. not very enlightened

@meowski I don't know what exactly he is, he's not a paleocon, he's not a neocon, and he's not a reactionary or a neoreactionary (although he has called himself neoreactionary)

@sun his takes aren't very noteworthy. kind of milquetoast commentary, strongly against democrats of course, but not much beyond that.

@meowski his commentary isn't important, his work at breitbart and with the early trump campaign were insanely influential though, in addition to probably a lot of stuff we don't even know about it.

even reactionary bloggers and youtubers are saying now he "invented gamergate" this isn't true but its probably true he co-opted and leveraged its mechanism for trump's benefit
