Boycott the @NewYorker festival, People.
#BoycottNewYorker
I love working for @NewYorker, but I'm beyond appalled by this: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/03/arts/steve-bannon-new-yorker-festival-haruki-murakami.html … I have already made that very clear to David Remnick. You can, too: themail@newyorker.com

This is insanity & Remnick deserves to be fired for this. I can't believe my subscription fee is being used to line Bannon's pocket, and worse, amplify & lend a shred of legitimacy to his idiocy. In utterly disgusted.

It's not an interview. It's a public spectacle without benefit of context. No one is saying don't interview Bannon.
-
Nothing benefits Bannon more than a public spectacle in which 1000s of booing New Yorkers drown him out while he puffs up and grins. This is perfect for him -- and he, alone.

Some people don't want to know their enemies. I do. If you don't know what they're up to, you are unprepared to deal with it.

How very thinky of you. I personally do not require or desire intimate knowledge of the inner workings of a racist xenophobes principally because they all think alike.

They don't. Never had any1 made a psychological warfare (propaganda) tool this effective 4 use in the U.S. In 2016, we were ignorant of Bannon's tools & strategies, so the HC campaign & Congressional campaigns didn't respond effectively.

We learned Bannon's ultimate goal from a past interview. There is nothing new to learn about him. His goal is unchanged. Denying him attention is what we should do with him now.
-
We don't need to know just his ultimate goal but also his current strategies. In a previous interview, B said he wd "flood the (media) zone w sh*t." Don Lemon came up with an excellent response to that strategy, here.https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2018/04/13/donald-trump-fox-tweet-jason-miller-sot-ctn.cnn …

Note the title to this article about Cambridge Analytica. Whose tool was used to elect Trump? Bannon's tool.https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/17/data-war-whistleblower-christopher-wylie-faceook-nix-bannon-trump …

You are making good points. Even though I am glad he is not going to be there, I am hearing you.
-
Thank you. Perhaps the New Yorker festival was not the place for an interview of him, but I do want interviews of him for what he reveals.

As an American historian and senior acquisitions editor, there is nothing "literary" or "historical" of interest by having this conspiracy theorist present at the New Yorker Festival. This autodidact businessman doesn't know what he doesn't know, nothing but a confused mind.
-
And what can be gained by talking to him that can't be learned by looking at SEVENTY YEARS of scholarship on the topic of authoritarianism and fascism since WWII? Nothing.
