Milo Yiannopoulos

[mtnbkr]

never heard of him.  Really don't care what is view is on any subject.    :)

But you cared enough to comment that you didn't care.

Maybe you ought to look into him, you might like what he has to say.

Nobody said ya have to care.

I like Milo too, and I doubt he gives a hoot what anyone thinks of his lifestyle as long as they don't try to legislate it or kill him because of it.

Which, IMHO, should be the attitude of the LBGT movement and anyone else in an oft persecuted minority. There is something to be said for the Honey Badger attitude and Milo seems to be proof of the fact that it wins more alliances than not, even alliances that seem very unlikely on first glance.

For those interested, he doesn't mind using anti-semitic symbology.

OH snap. He's an 'Alt-right racist.'
Must be the news service used by a few of our members here.

Why would we want people to hide what they really think anyway?

I posted it merely as an FYI. I follow the guy on Facebook, he upsets SJWs and the regressive left, which is good enough for me.
Then again, he claims to be Jewish matrilineally (though religiously Catholic), so I'm curious if he's actually an anti-semite or just enjoys shitposting.

Huh. I thought he was trying to give old troll Soros a hug.

Probably just 1 part shitposting, and 1 part actually using the "echo through time" to be a not so subtle dig at Soros' past ratting out other Jews during the Holocaust.

Equal opportunity troll on full honey badger mode intentionally trying to piss off everyone to prove a point?

As much as I appreciate the "Dangerous *Not nice word for gay men*" bit, he plays the stereotypical Fabulous Man a little too hard for me to buy it as more than a shtick, so I take his provocative crap with a grain of salt.
Attention seeking outrageous people who are trying to stir up trouble will say anything. *shrug* The people who take him seriously are the ones who should be concerned about having too much time on their hands.

As with any celebrity saying inflammatory things, he doesn't appear to actually believe any of it. Just playing a bit to get a following.

Well, not "religiously."

Well, not "religiously."

That's why Christians call it "Practicing".  They never get it quite right.

Apropos of nothing:  one form of the word gets filtered; the other doesn't:

*Not nice word for gay men*  (one 't')

*Not nice word for gay men (with two 't's)* (two 't's)

Right? Because he can't be both flaming gay and pro Liberty because only open border libertarians can occupy that political space?

Because his past statements are not consistent with his present ones. And the only conversion experience he seems to have undergone is realizing what generates coverage. Gay or straight or liberal or conservative or whatever has no bearing on it.

As a more general rule, the stage personality entertainers present is rarely anything at all like their private one. Doubly so for entertainers who's entire schtick is saying outrageous things.
