Does anyone here miss Milo Yiannopoulos?
posted 5 years ago by AbleistSL 5 years ago by AbleistSL +39 / -0

I just wanted to ask everyone about their thoughts are on Milo Yiannopoulos and why he is no longer active that much anymore.

I am aware of the drama involving his comments on the drunken pesants podcast and his firing from brietbart and want to know if it affected your views on him.

I wish he came back though.

He got thrown under the bus for backing Trump.

He's on Parler though.

He got thrown under the bus for backing Trump.

No, he got thrown under bus for saying that being stat-raped as a gay teenager wasn't exactly a terrible experience. Dude had his entire career erased for sharing his personal experience as a victim.

Then gays in San. Francisco literally decriminalized what happened to him. So he was railroaded out of the public discourse for half-excusing something that his political opponents don't even believe is a crime.

And his employers, Breitbart, buckled immediately and fired him on the spot after he'd brought them more new, young readers than anyone else on their staff had done in decades.

I don't like the guy, but I find what was done to him, by both WSJ and Breitbart, to be some of the lowest, snake-tier shit.

It really is bad what happened to him, but given the current environment, he should have known better. Trying to brush it off as not too bad (likely out of a subconscious desire to not be seen as a victim) was optical suicide.

There's nothing subconscious about it. He has out right said on several occasions that, that specific event doesn't define him.

'should have known better'

Than to say the same thing that George Takei has said on several occasions, and he's still Nerd God of the Left?

Everywhere I look there's CIA fucking up America.

This was the statement by Trump that caused Chuck Schumer to warn on the Rachel Maddow Show in 2017 that if Trump continued to criticize CIA, they would get back at him "six different ways to Sunday":

who has heavy ties, if not is outright employed by the Reagan Battalion, cut from the same RINO cloth as the Lincoln Project.

Exactly.

They were approved, and Milo wasn't. He knew that, and he knew how the game was played, then shot himself in the foot. Double standards are complete bollocks, but it is what it is.
