- hyeonwho4 2y agoTo be fair to pg, he has hinted at anti-radical-left beliefs before (see the essay about moral fashions). He is probably able to voice anti-radical-left views now because the Overton Window has shifted.

His worldview is closest to what one could call "classical liberalism": Free speech, economic liberalism, civil liberties, individual autonomy. That's a worldview that is pretty idiosyncratic today (sadly). On some topics he's "left wing" (pro palestine), on others he's "right wing" (anti affirmative action in university admissions).
