How much money do you have to have before your beliefs stop changing like a flag in the political wind?

To 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.

pg has been pretty consistent in this position for a long time. 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).

PG has always been annoyingly consistent about his views on this.
