27 VII 2022: The “Bannon” Look

Now I’m worrying that Steve Bannon will not be allowed to maintain his skid-row style when he is in jail. He has embodied the “I don’t give a shit” look, providing a model and encouragement for men who are similarly disposed. The extent to which he is imitated can be seen in very many of the Capitol rioters of Jan 6th. More than that, Steve’s slovenly chic style is part of his persona, indeed, part of his message, and I think that forcing Steve to wash his face and shave would be a violation of his freedom of speech.
