That’s a great distinction, I’m gonna start stealing that.

Some people aren’t anti establishment, they are anti-not-my-establishment. You can’t call yourself anti establishment if you just don’t like the current one.

Totally. I'm not even sure how many do call themselves anti-establishment, but I do know that there's lots of talk on the right about building a "second economy" and "alternative public square" and stuff like the Daily Wire trying to make movies, all as part of this "fine, I'll open my own casino" kind of play. It's very purposefully establisment-focused, just not the existing one.
