In 2015, Bannon tasked #CambridgeAnalytica’s @chrisinsilico to build a psychological warfare tool to hollow out democracy & rive open divisions in societies
It worked
And #Palantir, who rptdly taught Cambridge Analytica how to scrape data, are everywhere

A favourite quote of Steve Bannon's is from Milton’s Paradise Lost:
"It is better to reign in Hell than to serve in Heaven”
This video is from his War Room podcast after #Brazil's elections. (via @RonFilipkowski)

How Fascism works
1. Establish mythic past (“Return to greatness”)
2. Sow division (fear/hatred of minorities)
3. Attack the Truth (lie, distort, deny, & create “alt” reality)
4. Use democracy to destroy democracy
This is playing out - to various extents - in many countries

“The best way to understand #Bannon is to picture him as a travelling salesman peddling ideas that he hopes might take root…He needs vessels, he needs incendiaries. He’ll only be satisfied when the flames are blazing around him” @scheuermannc @derspiegel spiegel.de/international/…
