The modern world preys on white males, who are outside the victim hierarchy. By Peter Rudgeair at The WSJ. An example:

The problem, wrote [Bill Ackman, billionaire US fund manager], was a former lawyer in his family office, whom he called by the pseudonym Ronda. She had rejected three months of severance and instead demanded two years’ pay — about $2 million — citing an unsafe workplace.

How does Ronda deserve US$2million from Bill?

The firm that manages Ackman’s personal fortune … has had high turnover and growing expenses. So Ackman installed his nephew, whom he’d previously stationed at a British watchmaker he controls, to investigate.

The nephew made a comment at a lunch about a woman looking young for her age, Ackman wrote. This and other comments were noted by the in-house attorney, who Ackman gave the pseudonym Ronda. When Ronda was later laid off with others at TABLE, she said the nephew’s comments demonstrated an unsafe work environment, and asked for the bigger severance package, he wrote.

In Ackman’s telling, Ronda is in the wrong, since she handled human resources at the time of the incident and she reported to a woman herself. Ronda might think she could demand $2 million when she had worked at the company for just 2½ years because he has been tending to one of his three adult daughters who is recovering from a brain hemorrhage, he said.

“Ronda also knew that publicity about supposed gender discrimination and a ‘hostile and unsafe work environment’ are not things that a CEO of a company about to go public wants to have released into the media,” Ackman wrote, a reference to his plan to take public his firm, Pershing Square, in the coming months….

“It strikes a chord with people,” said [west coast anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck] in an interview discussing his own response. The founder of a company had directly sent him the post, he said. “There is a system that preys more on white males, because it’s like they are outside the victim hierarchy.” …

He clearly touched a nerve among the capitalist class. Elon Musk responded with encouragement 62 minutes later. …

“Destroy them!” Joe Lonsdale, a founder of Palantir, responded to Ackman’s story.

“Agreed,” wrote Donald Trump Jr., with three “100” emojis. “This nonsense has to stop.”

Most of us have to work for our money, but inquiring minds want to know: why only $2 million? Why not $10 million? Obviously Ronda deserves never having to work another day in her life, poor thing.
