Isn't the blaze hemorrhaging money? And I don't think I've actually heard of Matt Walsh outside this thread. Beck went from a prime cable time slot to an online newspaper, there is no way that's a step up.

Free Milo is amazing because imagine someone who doesn't know who Milo is and watching them discover his tweets for the first time "Free Milo! Free speech!" "What did he say?" "that a black actress was a gorilla"

Milo is someone who I do not think has any core values beyond "I want to be important" There was a hilarious thing on reddit once when he became Breitbart's Tech Editor and a follower tossed him some softball questions about tech like "Why is 60fps better than 30fps" and he couldn't answer them.

None of them are directly aknowledging that he harassed a black lady and called her a man and a gorilla. They know that what they're doing and defending is hosed up enough that they should hide it, but they're not going to reflect on that and come to the realization that they're the bad guys here

Frankly I want twitter to release the metrics about the users who engage in this kind of abuse because I would bet actual money the percentage of trolls like this is well over 60% under the age of 18.

Mel Mudkiper posted:Milo is someone who I do not think has any core values beyond "I want to be important" That's probably my favorite. He can bullshit alright on social and historical themes but the main thing he got hired for, tech/video game analysis, is totally foreign to him. He's only involved in it cause he discovered how easy it is to gain approval from those groups by being a shithead. And the people who make up those groups are so fundamentally stupid and desperate for validation that they don't even care or notice that their main guy doesn't know or give a poo poo about their source of identity.

Even him as a """tech editor""" is a pathetic joke. Somewhere, I want to say KiA, asked him some pointed questions about important tech issues and he couldn't answer them. It was clear he doesn't care about tech at all. In fact, despite him being a gator favorite, before the job at Breitbart he routinely insulted gamers. He's just an attention whore. Hopefully the Twitter ban is the beginning of the end.

Really, the problem with any political idea that operates under the assumption "things will be good as long as we get rid of _________" is that its doomed to failure because once those people are rid of and things aren't fixed, they will continue to hunt for degenerates to cleanse until the whole thing collapses.

I'd like to see the metrics as well. From my subjective experience though I've seen an equal spread of shitlords from all ages. I remember as a kid before twitter it was people on AIM and MSN with confederate display pics ironically. It's just they were more fragmented instead of unified under twitter. I won't be surprised if the white supremacists start their own twitter like that one facebook knock-off a while back. I feel incredibly powerless when it comes to this white supremacist "resurgence" because of course they get to speak at the podium because what they say sells, it gets page views and shares.

I've mostly given up. Whenever I encounter one in the wild that I cannot ignore for whatever reason, I just play into their delusion and say things like "When the revolution comes to your suburb, you'll be first against the wall. Better keep the powder dry." Responses vary.

Milo comes off as nothing more than a walking, talking ball of bad faith. It seems like he's purely doing what he's doing for attention and money. His entire repertoire seems to be telling young men that it's perfectly acceptable to go around saying racist, sexist, transphobic things in order to make them worship him. It's really unfortunate that he's well known as a free speech advocate, because it puts him in contact with other, more respectable free speech people, who then get dragged down to his level of discourse. Douglas Murray etc.

I feel like teenagers lack complex empathy and global awareness and its a great breeding ground for this kind of behavior. Plus, there is an idea of power behind it. Being a teenager is all about a sense of powerlessness in your life and the world around you. Going on twitter and calling a famous black woman a gorilla until she reacts gives you a sense of importance and relevance that I think most people crave at that age. A lot of teenage males want to matter, and the easiest way to get a sense that you matter is anonymous harassment.

Douglas Murray etc. His "Free Speech Advocacy" is just the standard right-wing "you can't censor me" bullshit, as if just because you have the right to free speech it magically means people shouldn't take offense or call you out when you're being a lovely human being that has to punch downwards on minorities while doing your "satire" (seriously, someone once tried to tell me that Milo is a satirist), or just being an outright abusive troll. Nor does it mean a company doesn't have the standing to prevent you from using their services when you violate the terms of using their services. It sucks that so many people easily fall for that bullshit because they can't tell the difference between the Government censoring speech (Turkey being a prominent recent example), and a company telling you "you're banned for being an abusive dick." I really wish people would stop equating the right of free speech with the "right" to be an rear end in a top hat. Not saying you're doing it of course, I'm just frustrated that people honestly think Milo is doing anything in good faith rather than just a bunch of self-serving poo poo to advance his personal brand.

As far as Milo and his ilk goes, they know it's all a con. All they have to be is just a little more clever than their target audience and they're laughing all the way to the bank. I sincerely doubt he gives two shits about Ghostbusters or ethics in video games or whatever. It's just an easy means of riling up his base and getting those oh so precious clicks.

Christopher Hitchens was an avowed Marxist in college before turning into whatever he turned into. Trump was a lifelong democrat. All those old Project for a New American Century neocon guys were liberals at one point. It's all meaningless. Soulless opportunists who will sell out their ideals for profit/power. Also Hillary Clinton was a Goldwater Girl. It helps if you think of them as lizard people.
