Great listen as always. Especially the focus on effects on a younger generation, that in turn gets older.
However,
I am disappointed that for all the talk about Gamergate & Milo, not one word about Bannon.
"I realized Milo could connect with these kids right away," Bannon told Green. "You can activate that army. They come in through Gamergate or whatever and then get turned onto politics and Trump."
You are absolutely right. Bannon plays a key role in helping to whip up frenzy around GamerGate and weaponizing the anger and toxicity that emerged from it to channel those young men into the Trump camp. Wish we could have talked about GamerGate more but we were already talking about so many things so we couldn't cover everything sadly but great insight.
