    From what appears to be the guy’s Substack:

    East Asian people are on average more intelligent than Black people. Which is factual based on the vast majority of tests we have developed and observed over the decades.

    And:

    I am an advocate for ending mass migration and initiating mass deportations for illegal migrants in western countries. Not because I am a white supremacist (I am not white) or because I believe there is necessarily anything innately special about being white. I believe these things for three reasons. First, nations have the right to preserve their ethnic identity, and second low skill immigration saturates the job markets of these countries making jobs which could once earn a living wage become unlivable, increasing the amount of value draining people in society by both importing them and undercutting low skill natives. lastly, generally, whiteness in these countries is a decent correlative to some of the things I value.

    And:

    It is true that many of the features which white supremacist value have little to do with the genetic predisposition to European ancestry and instead have to do with higher IQ; which is relatively more common among whites than most other groups.

    So, a common-or-garden guy who is not left-wing or right-wing but a secret third thing that is also right-wing.

      The model of people as engines which add to or drain state revenues, and social welfare as handouts to inferiors not aid to people in certain life circumstances, reminds me of Kelsey Piper. Just where a CEO who does billions of damage in pollution and evades billions of dollars of taxes fits they don’t explain.

      How sad that Altman’s shell corporation’s property insurance has to pay for this guy’s tedious status anxiety

      Ah, racist like my grandma. Make up a statistic, and your bigotry is suddenly scientific fact that you are regrettably forced to accept as population level facts.
