The same is reportedly true of Trump , of people like Ann Coulter , of Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage They are pure antagonists unencumbered by any conviction apart from their personal entitlement to raw power and stacks of cash . Holy shit , that ' s an amazing article . And there the party at the recent Republican Convention is Daryush Valizadeh , also known as Roosh V , selfstyled leader in the neomasculinity movement , author of a suspicious stack of sex travel guides and headlinehunting nanocelebrity in the world of ritualised internet misogyny . Roosh hates feminists for a living . He asks me what I ' m doing here . I ask him the same question . . I turn to leave , and Roosh suggests that we should start some sort of fake fight on the internet , because that ' s part of the game . It just gets more and more insane Wilders is the most obviously disturbed member of the neoright suicide squad in attendance . He cannot finish a sentence . His voice drifts , and he trails away , already out of the room . There is a dustbin fire behind the blank eyes of his human suit . Dear rthedonald , please note Milo peddles a pageant of insincerity that is immediately legible to fellow Brits . Americans understand irony differently , and sometimes not at all . The crowd of excitable young and youngish people gathered to hear him pontificate believe what he ' s saying , even if he doesn ' t . Which he doesn ' t . And it doesn ' t matter . A notterribly optimistic conclusion What ' s happening to this country has happened before , in other nations , in other anxious , violent times when all the old certainties peeled away and maniacs took the wheel . It ' s what happens when weaponised insincerity is applied to structured ignorance . Donald Trump is the Gordon Gekko of the attention economy , but even he is no longer in control . This culture war is being run in bad faith by bad actors who are running way offscript , and it ' s barely begun , and there are going to be a lot of refugees .
