In other words, the Bannonite belief in disruption as an end in itself renders impossible any self-scrutiny or acknowledgment of error, in a kind of endless feedback loop (the consequences of which could become much more dire over time). And it is precisely the Bannonite contempt for procedural and institutional knowledge that is partly responsible for creating all of the logistical and legal problems to begin with. Greg Sargent
About This Quote

The idea that the only way to truly bring about change and improve society is by tearing down everything and starting from scratch is a dangerous one. As seen in the quote above, the Bannonite movement is not about constructive change and improving society, but rather about destroying all of the existing forms of leadership and progress. The idea that anyone can change anything at any given time is false. We can only change things if we understand what needs to be changed and why.
