Milo is a great example of the scary-in-real-life thing; he works for a semi-major media outlet that's pushing someone who will almost certainly be a major party's nominee for president. Clearly Milo isn't even close to being the main thing driving Trump (polls show Trump supporters skew pretty old, after all), but it's still disturbing how much he touches on the "real world."

Shouldn't a public figure be angry about twitter pulling shenanigans like that? And why is he self-hating, exactly? Because he prefers black dick?

He helped organise Gamergate. Some of the harassment could get really vicious, and then there was the swatting, which was basically attempted murder-by-proxy.

He got it removed over harassment, and he's self-hating because he literally hates being gay, it has nothing to do with what sort of dick he likes, seriously. :wtc:

If he truly enjoyed being gay he wouldn't go out of his way to talk about how he wishes he wasn't gay and how he thinks it isn't right, how he want's to be "cured" of his homosexuality.

Let's go with what he's said (all sources for quotes can be found on http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Milo_Yiannopoulos#His_own_sexuality):

quote:

"But the thought that I might influence my child towards a lifestyle choice guaranteed to bring them pain and unhappiness–however remote that chance may be–is horrifying to me. That’s why, quite simply, I wouldn’t bring a child up in a gay household."


quote:

"But everything isn’t OK. And, ceteris paribus, no one would choose to have a gay child rather than a straight one. It would be like wishing that they were born disabled–not just because homosexuality is aberrant, but because that child will suffer unnecessarily. Again, you’d have to be mad. Or evil."


quote:

"Most of the reason I went gay is so I didn’t have to deal with nutty broads. Imagine how much worse they’re going to get when the passive aggressive manipulation tactics stop working because the guy can get himself off with a thinner, hotter robot any time he wants to. They’re going to go mental."


quote:

"I would love to be cured. Who wouldn't want to be cured? Of course I want to be cured. I've tried to pray the gay away....I think for a variety of reasons, most gay people, if they were honest, would not choose to have been born homosexual. I'd love to experiment with some of these therapies, not because I think they'll work."

quote:

"Gays have been told for 30 years that they were 'born this way'. That's a lie. 'Born this way' was invented by the gay lobby as a run-around of the religious right. The religious right was saying that homosexuality was a sinful lifestyle choice, and then the gay lobby invented the 'gay gene'. They said "we're born this way"....it really has no basis in science at all. The most we can say is that it is a mixture of nature and nurture and it may have some epigenetic component. Nobody really knows."

Unless he's suddenly gone back on all of this, i feel pretty confident in saying his dislikes being gay.

Anyway, the guys a professional rent-a-gob gobshite like Katie Hopkins et al, doesn't think internet harassment is real but simultainously complains when it happens to him.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

Immortan posted:

You are either desperately uninformed to the point of comedy, or deliberately obtuse in order to stir up poo poo, and either way you should shut up and go away.


On the other hand, this is a thread about walking sacks of poo poo so Milo's on topic. Here's a classic example which some folks in this thread may not already be familiar with:

Walking sack of poo poo Milo Yiannopoulos used his position at sack-of-poo poo-factory Breitbart to accuse major Black Lives Matter activist Shawn King of not actually being black enough, forcing said activist to reveal in public the fact that the man listed on his birth certificate is not actually his biological father.

It turns out that Milo got his "tip" about Shawn King's racial background from this other walking sack of poo poo, who is such a caricature of a person that I can't even summarize him here without sounding like I'm writing satire.


It's sort of interesting to look at a piece like Neiwert's "Rush, Newspeak and Fascism: An exegesis" from 2003, which examines how Rush and other demagogues acted as transmitters, moving ideas from the extreme American right (which at the time were largely militia movement types and the like) into mainstream right-wing thought, and compare it to how these days there's no need for those kinds of people any more.

Neiwert has been covering this poo poo for a long time and his work is worth reading (his "Confederate Heritage Month" pieces from April are painful and damming), although by now the events documented in books like this seem so tame by comparison.

Business is slow
Did I ever tell you about the man who taught his rear end in a top hat to talk? His whole abdomen would move up and down you dig farting out the words. It was unlike anything I ever heard.

This rear end talk had sort of a gut frequency. It hit you right down there like you gotta go. You know when the old colon gives you the elbow and it feels sorta cold inside, and you know all you have to do is turn loose? Well this talking hit you right down there, a bubbly, thick stagnant sound, a sound you could smell.

This man worked for a carnival you dig, and to start with it was like a novelty ventriliquist act. Real funny, too, at first. He had a number he called “The Better ‘Ole” that was a scream, I tell you. I forget most of it but it was clever. Like, “Oh I say, are you still down there, old thing?”

“Nah I had to go relieve myself.”

After a while the rear end start talking on its own. He would go in without anything prepared and his rear end would ad-lib and toss the gags back at him every time.

Then it developed sort of teeth-like little raspy in-curving hooks and started eating. He thought this was cute at first and built an act around it, but the rear end in a top hat would eat its way through his pants and start talking on the street, shouting out it wanted equal rights. It would get drunk, too, and have crying jags nobody loved it and it wanted to be kissed same as any other mouth. Finally it talked all the time day and night, you could hear him for blocks screaming at it to shut up, and beating it with his fist, and sticking candles up it, but nothing did any good and the rear end in a top hat said to him: “It’s you who will shut up in the end. Not me. Because we dont need you around here any more. I can talk and eat and poo poo.”

After that he began waking up in the morning with a transparent jelly like a tadpole’s tail all over his mouth. This jelly was what the scientists call un-D.T., Undifferentiated Tissue, which can grow into any kind of flesh on the human body. He would tear it off his mouth and the pieces would stick to his hands like burning gasoline jelly and grow there, grow anywhere on him a glob of it fell. So finally his mouth sealed over, and the whole head would have have amputated spontaneous except for the eyes you dig. Thats one thing the rear end in a top hat couldn’t do was see. It needed the eyes. But nerve connections were blocked and infiltrated and atrophied so the brain couldn’t give orders any more. It was trapped in the skull, sealed off. For a while you could see the silent, helpless suffering of the brain behind the eyes, then finally the brain must have died, because the eyes went out, and there was no more feeling in them than a crab’s eyes on the end of a stalk.

Luke Bozier in his memoir posted:

Milo was stirring, and I wanted to see what he was keeping in his boxer shorts. I figured with all of the swagger this guy had, his dick must have been pretty big. I was about to find out.
Reaching down under the duvet, I pulled on the ubiquitous elastic strap which holds boxer shorts in place. A weird experience. I was more used to a thin elastic band holding skimpy pants or a thong in place. Boxer shorts were new to me. Milo got the message and assisted in removing the Calvins or Ralphs, or whatever they were. With anticipation, I lifted up the duvet and headed down.

Taking hold of the Yiannopoulos penis, I recoiled in surprise. In place of what I expected to be a huge, swagger-laden cock, I found something rather smaller, rather less impressive than I'd expected. I felt cheated. There must have been some mistake. This wasn't what I expected from a fully-grown man who walks the Earth with the arrogance of someone who owns much of it. Well, I wasn't going to let that hold me back. At least now I knew the truth. I continued and made the best out of the situation. Actually I find smaller penises much easier when it comes to performing oral sex on a man, but that's just personal preference.
