He has repeatedly identified himself with conservative thinkers, which he claims are victims.



IIRC in the Bloomberg interview linked from the article, he explicitly rejects that he would identify with alt-right (that's because the interviewer asks about it), and explains that he is pretty much a centrist. He does claim though that conservatives are victims of bias in Google, but that doesn't mean he _identifies_ with them.

Kinda similar worldview to Jonathan Haidt, for example.


He explicitly identified himself as a classical liberal in his essay, which most people today call libertarian. He feels that this group is a victim in the Valley, and he identifies as being part of this group.


If there's one thing this year has established, it's that we're all centrists, from the "create a white ethnostate" to "blackbloc anarchy forever" people.

Not that you could ever take people at their word for their beliefs and politics, but its seems especially disingenuous in this case.


I disagree, I don't see any evidence that he is being dishonest.
