Thanks for posting this. I hope you read it thoughtfully. Even though this is a quote from Taleb, it is a core position of Bannon's and Trump's. Trump, of course, is an inarticulate speaker who lacks the natural ability to be eloquent when explaining himself. Bannon, OTOH, is quite articulate. In listening to several of Bannon's public speeches, some going back to 2010, this core position is always woven into his speeches. And it is core to much of what is written on Breitbart News.
This should appeal to many on the left who speak against 'plutocrats'.
<<We are witnessing the rise of a new class of inverse heroes, that is, bureaucrats, bankers, Davos-attending members of the I.A.N.D (International Association of Name Droppers), and academics with too much power and no real downside and/or accountability. They game the system while citizens pay the price.”>> |
