The Atlantic's biggest anti-DEI proponent just wrote an article on the memoir of a writer on the fringe of the IDW. He was actually one of the guys I had in mind when I suggested the stubstack weekly.

In case you're unfamiliar with Rob Henderson - and you probably are - he's an orpham who climbed his way out of poverty, made it to Yale and now tweets about wokie cosmopolitans victim communists, the family unit, and the heritabilty of IQ.

Fantastically enough he's also a big proponent of the success sequence? One his commenters suggests that he may have the causality of the sequence reversed, and Henderson says...

His whole square-peg-round-hole shtick is based on glazing hereditarianism while simultaneously purporting conservative values on personal responsibility. He also has countless podcasts with Richard "it's cruel that we let the 85-iq blacks believe they're capable of self-actualization" Hannania; on paper you'd think that an orphan would be repulsed by Hannania's love for setting societal expectations of success based on demographic, but I guess Henderson's cool with all the lesser orphans ending up janitors at best as long as they have a highschool degree and no bastards. It's just good luck that he ended up with a high enough iq to make it to Yale, too bad about the other kids but there's nothing you can do 🤷‍♂️.

At the end if the day Henderson is just like every modern right wing ideologue. Just post after post of personal grievances masquerading as social critque; each one unexamined and subtlety incompatible with one another
