Sebastian Gorak Gorka is a strategist by trade, an ‘assistant’ to the President, Steve Bannon’s purse-dog, and real-life Dr. Strangelove.
And he doesn’t want to hear it from no protesters. According to him, the uproar around Trump’s attempt to make cowards of us all (for what else is a zero-risk policy regarding the intake of refugees ?) arises from the chattering classes.
He isn’t too forthcoming with qualifications for enrollment in the chattering classes, but his implication is clear enough. The chattering classes are made up of poli-sci students, their professors, pampered, ex-poli-sci students employed in government or the soft sciences, and a few, deluded members of the aristocracy. A diverse group, it’s members hold in common a history of sheltered existence and an effete spirit. In Gorak’s Gorka’s estimation, those qualities render the opinions of the chattering classes irrelevant.
It is the reapplication of common sense. Brexit happened — Donald Trump became president because the average voter said, Enough! We want safety! We want national security to be a priority. But the chattering classes do not understand.
“I’m not interested in the chattering classes, in the social justice warriors,” Gorka says. “If you’re really going to ask really churlish and childish questions like that, then there really is no point to the interview.”
The problem is, of course, that anyone who opposes the Chief Troll, his lackeys, or his lackeys’ purse dogs, is automatically part of the chattering classes.
That is the only real inclusion criteria. Otherwise, it would be hard to distinguish Gorak Gorka from the whiners he holds in such contempt. He has a PhD in political science. He was a writer for a fringe publication on the internet. His current purpose is to yap and bare his teeth at anyone who dares look askance at mumsy and her entourage.
He had better be thankful for the chattering classes. They are the manifestation of our society’s commitment to settle politics politically. They are what allow him and his ilk to exist.
He can keep saying ‘chattering classes’. He had better keep saying ‘chattering classes’. I dare him to stop, jump out of that Coach, and try to take a bite. I double dare him.
Dedicated to the Game 
This is an interesting article. The only mistake is that the fellow’s last name is Gorka.
Nope, Gorak. He is definitely a Gorak
Is that a joke?
I don’t know, is it?
What are you, some kind of stickler for the so-called facts?
Prolly one of those media bastards, eh?
Fine, if it makes you happy – but that guy is still a Gorak, which was originally a Hanna-Barbera cartoon villain, if I recall correctly.
But it doesn’t matter if I recall correctly anymore.
