I noticed Chris Wylie make a passing reference to this in the initial whistleblowing article from The Guardian this month, where he was quoted as saying that Bannon "was the only straight white male I've ever had a conversation with about intersectional feminist theory, and he immediately grasped its relevance to young conservative men." But I haven't seen this discussed or fleshed out anywhere else, and this connection between Bannon and intersectionality in his scheming way of thinking really intrigues me. I'd really like to hear anything else you know about this. |

My basis for that judgement came from reading a lot about Bannon and my own experiences w/ the "alt-right" and "alt-left". (ex. a "gamergate person" is to me a person who will never let you have the last word in an argument, no matter what they believe about boys and their toys; sometimes they get arrested because they just can't stop arguing with a cop)
I grew in Manchester, NH which was home to the Manchester Union Leader which was a leading conservative publication in the 1980s. I regularly saw editorials by conservatives who were interested in emulating the strategies of the communist theorist Antonio Gramsci.
