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 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21307367) but consider this guy some sort of model for even-keeled disinterested rationalism.
