I agree, which is why I think people who have the means to fight back should do so. Better still I think would be "Going Galt" and forming parallel institutions while letting Woke Society wither and die. Either way, it illustrates the importance of fuck you money and why it's something everyone should strive for.
But if you get fired for taking his advice, is James Lindsay going to put food on your table or pay your mortgage? No. Maybe he'll tweet about it or open a gofundme or something, but he assumes none of the risk for taking his advice. And being an academic his risk profile is very different than the vast majority of the people he's speaking to. By not being honest about these risks he does a disservice to those listening to him.
