So it has come to my attention after triggering a state investigation into Microsoft, somebody has written a hit piece about me on substack:
[Substack Hit Piece]
This is in addition to what appeared to be aggressive astroturfing on several subreddits trying to bury my story about Microsoft violations of worker protections (for which now there is a state and federal investigation pending an investigator):
[The Problem with Microsoft]
The hit piece tries to tie me to Elon Musk, Jordan Peterson, DOGE, and the GOP - claiming that I was harassing CUPD to detract from SA victims with personal grievances, and tries to frame me for “vaccine skepticism” and alleged belief in Jewish space lasers. This is in addition to criticism now that since I’m moving to China that means I must be doing something nefarious there too.
Oh boy where to even begin...

The main problem here is that it seems to me that both the right and establishment dems have failed the millennial generation - and smearing people by placing them in a box is designed as a form of control or to discredit detractors of any kind. This whole thing with Microsoft is a microcosm of the issues with the establishment dems in alienating their own base that cost them previous elections because what I’ve actually done is criticize Elon Musk and Jordan Peterson, advocate for Medicare for all, and report declining mental health of students and cocaine sales on campus at CU boulder shortly before a mass shooting and riot of students flipping police cars:
'This was a revolt': CU students blame frustration over COVID-19 restrictions for Saturday's riot
But of course I’m being framed as literally being a part of DOGE with direct ties to Elon Musk allegedly trying to detract from SA victims. Literally the university takes the side of fraternity rapists and I’m being told if I say anything about the corruption on campus, I’m somehow the problem. I was also estranged from some of my immediate evangelical fundamentalist MAGA family and assaulted in my vehicle (police report on the situation) for playing a song about releasing the Epstein files on their street.
Over the years I've seen UC Berkeley devolve into violent protests after a 500 million dollar budget cut, wrongful (possibly in a coverup) terminations from Boeing, and the systematic misuse of institutions - but I guess I'm the bad guy and possibly dangerous for complaining? I don't think so.
Remember when Dr. Jordan Peterson was blowing up on the internet? I talked with Dr. Peterson for an hour, and here is my takeaway.
Young people are feeling alienated and lots of people would like to start a family and even have the traditional roles where the girl doesn't have to work and can just stay at home and volunteer or work on a part time basis in the community. I don't think that the majority of women I've interacted with love going to work to make money.
The problem is that it isn't socioeconomically viable. They feel socioeconomic anxiety and conflicting desires to both attain these traditional markers of adulthood but at the same time can't and are told that the goal itself is harmful in some way or told that they just have an unearned privilege and the way to attain it is by "earning" this "privilege" in a late stage neoliberal hellscape.
Millennials have been failed by both the right and the establishment dems. There was a power vacuum left and then it was filled with toxic alt right figures.
Young men were told that when they felt alienated and anxiety about meeting their needs they should talk to a therapist, and then there was the rise of Jordan Peterson. They were told that they should work on themselves, and then there was the rise of the self help grifter Andrew Tate. They were told that the answer was to vote or protest to have their voices heard and then there was the the rise of Trump.
Now, on the left, establishment dems are more unpopular now than ever. While Trump is invading countries and hiding 3pstein files, on the left there is apathy and vague gesturing towards change and the status quo - an implicit support for the same oppressive systems they claim they are against. It isn't enough to simply be for or against the other color team - you must act.
Instead of young guys "forcing women" to do anything you could... like...pay Millennials properly? Hold powerful people accountable? Just a thought and one main reason young women feel anxiety about having kids or about not working constantly in the rat race - it turns out that many young women do want a relationship where they do not have to work, support so that they can stay at home *if they want to*, and contrary to the propaganda - most Millennials did want kids.
Both men and women just don't want to feel like trapped slaves and to do so on their own terms with the socioeconomic stability and mobility to do so. Extreme take?
I don't know why the conversation is usually framed as young guys must either remain in unstable and precarious relationships / not have any intimacy or force women to do anything - it turns out that you don't tend to have either issue when the older generation is just paying them to do what they want consensually instead.
Maybe the conversation is just to avoid the fact that most of the wealth of the older generation is stored in overinflated NIMBY housing valuations they don't want to give up to actually fix the problem? 🤔
The irony is that I have been personally affected by budget cuts - when I attended UC Berkeley there was a 500 million dollar budget cut leaving students to fall through the cracks - leaving 10% of the students homeless while attending. There was a violent confrontation between protestors and police - I left the campus and in spite of not being on academic probation I was denied re-entry. The irony is that I've been framed as participating in wrongful terminations of government employees when I've spearheaded a campaign to hold big tech companies accountable for wrongful terminations.
