there is something at the bottom of every new human thought, every thought of genius, or even every earnest thought that springs up in any brain, which can never be communicated to others, even if one were to write volumes about it and were explaining one’s idea for thirty-five years.
~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky

This is not the story of a man who joined the people. It’s the story of a man who studied them, branded them and built a media empire on their backs. He frames everything as a spiritual battle — America versus the elites. But Steve Bannon is the elite. He just speaks rage fluently. So here’s the question: if a man tells you he’s at war with the empire while still cashing royalty checks from it, do you believe him? Or do you finally see it for what it is?
