He did, at least the first bit. Back in the 90's he did good work on personality traits..which is his area of expertise. However..he was a nobody until october of 2016, lol. He made ripples by opposing a transgender initiative being proposed in canada...imagining that it was an assault on free speech and that the government would haul him away to a gulag for refusing to say she, or he, or whatever some transgender person preferred. This was, ofc, not the case. He went viral on yuoutube baiting people and then sitting back to harvest angry tears, aka "pwning the libs".. lol. He then gave a lecture titled:
"Identity Politics and The Marxist Lie of White Male Privilege" in which he layed out his master thesis.
That the world was full of cryptomarxists intent on gulaging everyone, dominance was natural, and we should revert to those social structures he felt nostalgic about. He became the intellectual face of white male anxiety. He's not within his area of expertise, at all..when discussing those things that his fans are most engaged in..but the fact that he is/was an academic is a legitimizing device.
