Yes that's a fair assessment.
Through line of his books seem to be "little guy is good".
In many of the stories the little guy he valorizes is just another neutral actor in a zero sum game.
The Big Short it just so happens that the "little guy" who was right got to make money off fairly bad actors! I wouldn't say they were themselves "good", rather more neutral players in a financial market.
He now seems to have chosen a little guy (SBF/FTX) who were explicitly bad actors.
Also interesting questions in the whole Blind Side story now.
