I watched American Dharma last night, which is Errol Morris' last interview documentary on Steve Bannon. I was so disappointed, I've liked Morris' earlier work.
I was surprised that about 50% of the time Bannon is dead accurate and very astute. Honestly he shares a lot of the basic understanding and rage of leftists at the ravaging of the middle class by neoliberalism. Like we say 1% and he says global elites, but we're talking about the same things. I think Morris is just a typical lib and hadn't really considered there might be anything wrong in North America, and just seemed totally unequipped to talk about the problems.
I could have forgiven Morris if he was able to competently pull the trigger on nailing him to the wall as a vile racist and fascist but he couldn't do that and let Bannon sweet talk his way through like he didn't run a news website with a special heading for "Black Crime".
The only interesting part is where Bannon gets visibly angry at Morris when Morris confesses that he voted for Hillary against Bernie in the primary. Bannon is a fan of Morris' work and was incredulous. He says "how can you have made The Fog of War and The Unknown Known and still have voted for Hillary?" And he's right, you know?
It's like instead of being an indictment of neofascism the film is an indictment of being a lib, I'm just not so sure the lib got the message.
