For those of us sitting here reading this and thinking it sounds like the ramblings of a madman writing on a public bathroom wall, can someone explain what this is about?
That's just what it is: some guy channeling some injury to his ego into an attack on institutions and people he is envious of, masquerading as some sort of heroic political fight.
Plus, of course, a sympathetic slice of very online personae who relentlessly complain about "identity politics" and can-we-focus-on-technology-please (case in point: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21307367) but consider this guy some sort of model for even-keeled disinterested rationalism.
EDIT: And the author has another piece featuring none other than Debian Grand Champion of Drama, Ian Jackson! [2]
