Nigel discovers the word 'establishment' and writes 500 pages about it

A career politician convinced the entire machinery of government is personally out to get him writes a letter that reads like a jilted lover's manifesto crossed with a conspiracy theorist's fever dream. Every problem is reframed as evidence of persecution, every setback becomes proof of establishment sabotage, and somehow attacking his family's security is both the establishment's fault AND justification for his political crusade. It's the political equivalent of leaving a 2-star Yelp review that's longer than the restaurant's Wikipedia page.
