![]() But what I find interesting is that a lot of people seem to really be attracted to Milo, even people who are somewhat sympathetic to social justice, and I’d like to talk about why that is. When he was banned on Twitter last week for his borderline racist participation in an extremely racist mob attack on Leslie Jones, his poor duped followers who take him seriously Tweeted #FreeMilo and complained about “Orwellian” censorship, while Milo himself bragged about the long-anticipated ban, which he celebrated as the latest great victory in his war against people not paying attention to him.Īll of this is pretty typical of the tedious reality-TV type circus that American politics has become. All of this is plastered over with a thin layer of affected homosexual “glamour,” which in this case means calling feminists “dahling” and dressing like he made his first thousand dollars twelve minutes ago. ![]() ![]() His articles and speeches blend generic right-wing babble with exaggerated attacks on feminists, Black Lives Matter and transgender and fat people. He’s now taking after his friend Ann Coulter in making a career out of saying false and immoral things to generate negative attention from easily-offended liberals, something that any 12-year-old with a Twitter account can do. He’s an opportunist who gained fame by championing GamerGate, although he clearly has nothing but disdain for gamers, who he consistently depicts as beta-male man-babies. What Milo really is is a preening, narcissistic, no-face whose main infatuation is his with his own minor celebrity. The news calls Milo a “provocateur,” but I’m starting to think that “provocateur” is just a pretentious word for asshole. I say beneath my dignity because I don’t really think Milo is a serious person. So in a way I regard it as beneath my dignity to make a video about Milo Yiannopoulos, but being beneath my dignity has never stopped me from doing anything before, and it certainly isn’t going to now.
