Rhetorical questions are such fun. (NOT)

This isn't a rhetorical question.

Because of a quite simple reason: opportunism. A lot of people are very willing to put their ideology aside for money.

why would Bannon use him?

Because they claimed to be connected to the Camebridge university (they weren't) and were able to do excactly what Bannon needed. They had targeting models that noone else used.

Or is Steve Bannon just not as polarizing of a figure as the media has made him out to be?

Bannon is a very polarizing figure, however he is, just like the CA guy, also a very opportunist person. Whenever he sees someone that can benefit him, he uses him. Just like Bannon tried to use Trump to get his own agenda through congress, which hugely backfired on him.

Wait, so they tried to scam him by helping him win an election...by accident?

This smells funny.

They scammed him to hire them, by pretending to be something they were not. Doesn't mean that they weren't excactly what he needed them to be.

Yeah, but the biggest difference is that the Indian itunes/greendot scammers don't actually fix my computer, they just take my money.

You can be the best lawyer in the world, but if you haven't gone to law school, not a person in the world will hire you.

One of the biggest "fake news" writers during the 2016 election cycle was actually a lifelong democrat who found right wing communities easy to exploit for ad revenue. There was also a group of teens in Macedonia who did the same thing, and they ran both articles on the right and left. It was all for the moolah.

Exactly. The elite will always side with the elite, no matter which "side" they're on. Class comes before anything else, and us plebs should remember that.

Ordo ab chao.

Capitalism and communism are a false dichotomy.

There are other ways to organize society outside of the systems that we have been given, I.e. capitalism and communism. Capitalism and communism are both based on materialism at their core. Other societies that have historically existed have had other "gods" at their center.

Did that answer OPs question at all?

It snowed them where they are going wrong in formulating their post.

Because “he doesn’t bring personal feelings and views into business”

Because the color green means more than red and blue.

The way this story is being hyped and presented is raising red flags for me. This is their 'stage 2' of cementing the story. By creating these post event 'discoveries' and 'interviews' , it lends credence to the narrative. Look post 9-11. All the cementing stories that really sold the message. We are all still being told to believe that the U.S. voters were duped by some facebook ads.

It's a prepared and coordinated shot. This will maintain the population divide they have worked so hard for. I think some of that divide was starting to fall apart last week, but lo! its even stronger today. It's the sly expectation that, if this story is so compelling, maybe the other stories are too! Where's Stormy ? Bring her back!

I'll give you a hint. It's a five-letter-word that starts with an "M" and ends with a "Y"

SES and SFS know that each coin has two sides.
