"These individuals seldom know what their end point is. Their main drive seems to be motivated by dissatisfaction in most cases."
Bannon, a political player of both note and notoriety, has always struck me as quite the same as a number of ordinary everyday folks I've known who are of no note or notoriety beyond how many of them there apparently are within our society. He's someone who knows what he hates and doesn't want, but has no real idea that can be expressed in concrete and specific terms of what it is he really does want, (beyond perhaps power, money and recognition). No 'vision' of a future that can be expressed in terms that don't include some form of nihilism.
In this he is completely like a fair number of people I've known personally. They can only define themselves by what (and who) they're against. Ask them to explain in specific terms what they are actually for, and it's the sound of choking crickets that you will usually hear.
