For those that haven't been paying any attention, Steve Sailer has been a relatively obscure writer for decades, mainly posting short blog entries on the VDare website.
Recently, he seems to have had an uptick in popularity after speaking at the VDare conference last year and especially since his writings were published by Passage Press earlier this year.
Passage Press is a Thiel cutout founded by the recently doxed Jewish academic Jonathan Keeperman, AKA "Lomez," a BAP orbiter. Passage Press publishes Thiel's court philosopher, the neoreactionary Jew Curtis Yarvin, and notably distributes the "Man's World Magazine" edited by BAP orbiter Raw Egg Nationalist.
Passage Prize has overlap with Chris Rufo, who took responsibility for ousting Harvard president Claudine Gay in an apparent coup against "DEI." Their new big play is to bring down "DEI" which they view as adversely affecting Jews who are lumped in with White people as "white oppressors." Their counter narrative is to embrace "colorblind meritocracy," something which BAP has echoed himself.
Sovereign House, a venue in NYC supported by Jewish Thiel allies hosts the annual "Passage Prize" award ceremony and also recently hosted Steve Sailer.
When Lomez was doxed he was interviewed by TPUSA's Jack Posobiec. TPUSA's Charlie Kirk recently interviewed Steve Sailer on his podcast.
VDare also shares a lot of these connections, hosting Amanda Milius who has produced films for Peter Thiel, and Ryan Girdusky who was contracted out by Thiel clients like JD Vance. Apparently at the VDare conference this year, gun advocate John Lott gave a speech extolling the benefits of minority gun ownership... lol.
Anyway— Sailer's claim to fame is talking about black/white crime stats. Yet according to this twitter post he seems not to even subscribe to the "Human Biodiversity" hypothesis which is that genetic racial differences are the source of racial disparities in IQ, crime, and other metrics.
So what is really so edgy or dissident about Steve Sailer? Or any of this? What is the goal of any of this organizing?
Well, the answer is it is to capture the energy and dissatisfaction of would-be dissidents and channel it into another iteration of neoconservatism. Pro-Israel, philosemitic, secular, in favor of free-market capitalism, and "tough on crime" border and public safety policies.
