Literally the one that excelled at the online pivot.
He’s basically the old white guy from American History X, except because our timeline is extra crazy, he got involved with Chinese WoW gold farms and realized online games was even easier to recruit than webpages.
Like, he’s absolutely a piece of shit, but decades ago before the alcohol turned his brain completely to mush, he put in the first steps to getting us here. Not just politically but socially/culturally.
He was extremely effective, but he wouldn’t have been if he was forced to do all that shit in person where he could be punched in the face.
Steve Bannon hanging out with 10 year olds on a playground sets off alarm bells, but do it from behind a WoW avatar and it doesn’t stand out.
Again tho, it’s not the online games, its not the in person DnD, not the punk shows, not skateparks, not social media…
Those are all just places, and if Nazis are tolerate in any places, they set up shop and start recruiting. The only way to get rid of it and to keep it gone, is constantly being aware in every space that some day a Nazi might show up, and if they do the most important thing is that they leave. If everyone does that, it works. But everyone has to do it, they can’t have a safe space because they’ll only use it to make everywhere else less safe.
You might recognize the CEO Bannon took over from, is the child actor that played Young Gordan Bombay in the Mighty Ducks…
And honestly, I’m like 99% sure it’s what started crypto in the first place. The oligarchs got a hit of digital money they control with almost zero oversight, and a couple years later crypto started popping up.
That article is 2008, and the first Bitcoin was created January 2009.

Bannon wasn’t just spreading hate and grifting gold, he was running a multimillion Goldman’s Sachs venture in third party online micro transactions:

Can’t get any crazier right?
