Bannon made big money from 90s hit TV show Seinfeld. Who would have thought Seinfeld would be instrumental in funding the Alt-Right / Neo-Nazi revolution.
Maybe Bannon sees Net Neutrality as a way of destroying his Alt-Right competitors.
In StreamPunks, YouTube’s Chief Business Officer says middle aged white guys (like Bannon) used to decide everything we saw on TV.
There is even a quote from the scene in Seinfeld where they try to pitch the show, which is about nothing, to the head of NBC.
“Why am I watching it?” asks the studio exec.
“Because it’s on TV!” says George.
Bored with deciding what’s on our TVs, Bannon has taken it upon himself to decide who is in the White House.
His recent speech to Black Americans for a Better Future was a masterclass in rhetoric from a man whose Breitbart website is a favourite among neo-Nazi white nationalists.
This Buzzfeed piece points out that Black Americans for a Better Future is mainly funded by wealthy white donors.
As pointed out in this blog, the Alt-Right’s favourite UK politician is Jacob Rees Mogg whose mission, like Bannon’s, is the Deconstruction of the Administrative State i.e. Deregulate Everything.
I wish I could round off with something comforting you can do to stop this madness. Suddenly fascism is fashionable.
