The early-August HuffPo piece that outed him as a Nazi and followup reporting said basically he was an edgelord while at U of Chicago law school, and Peter Thiel and Vivek gave him huge grants to start an “institute” and get into mainstream media, which worked (he has NYT and WaPo bylines)
The HuffPo leaks found that in the past he expressed Nietzschean contempt for Christianity as too compassionate and unwilling to commit itself to manichean race-conscious policies
Also he still openly advocates state-sponsored euthanasia for undesirables…
