This is a very good story. Yet it's amazing to see the New York Times continually miss the forest for the trees. The NYT is ok with extremist ideology as an anecdote in a profile—but highly allergic to any deeper examination of the ideology itself. No one gets to write an op-ed explaining any of this. That’s not allowed. But a billionaire can drop it in a quote as a passing comment. Of course, I just wrote a book about it! https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Nerd-Reich/Gil-Duran/9781668221402
