As an architect of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential election victory, Steve Bannon knows a thing or two about unconventional political warfare. Now the godfather of the US alt-right is gearing for combat in Europe. His arena is the campaign for the next European Parliament elections, scheduled for May 23-26 2019. His chosen weapons, as in the US, are set to be the stoking of social tensions, economic nationalism, incitement of public anger at elites, systematic attempts to discredit reasoned argument and the spread of misinformation.
作爲唐納•川普(Donald Trump) 2016年總統大選勝利的設計師，史蒂夫•班農(Steve Bannon)對非常規的政治戰爭略知一二。現在這位美國另類右翼(alt-right)的教父正準備在歐洲作戰。他的競技場是下一屆歐洲議會(European Parliament)選舉——計劃於2019年5月23日至26日舉行。和在美國一樣，他選擇的武器將是煽動社會緊張、經濟民族主義、激起公衆對精英的憤怒、系統性地企圖抹黑理性論證、以及傳播錯誤資訊。
