Ewan represents the America that never was—academic, socialist; think the progressive era and the green new deal, etc.
The Academic Left, as an American power structure, is the most critical of the current conservative rulers, but when it comes down to it, will fiercely defend the status quo from radicals.
Ewan is the epitome of the righteous indignation and monopolization of morality from this faction of the left. He's talks a lot of blood money, but his hands are not clean.
