It's a mystery. There's a twitter account who claims to be him, but it's not verified so we may never truly know.

Just tell me I'm exotic.
Isn't he basically Breitbart the Twitter? Also the people who follow him are way worse than Milo himself/themself. Considering I'm seeing replies to Milos tweets about how Anita Sarkeesian should be assassinated to "finish what the turks started"

Well speaking of IOSM, I haven't seen him in forever. Did something happen? Or is he just posting under his Poptart_fairy account now?

A goon mentioned that his trans brother could have very conceivably been in the Orlando shooting since they live in the area. PCOS Bill said it was a pity that the goon's trans brother wasn't shot to death, and was probated for a month.

This is true especially because nothing that ever happens on twitter or tumblr or wherever this is could possibly be of any real consequence.

If it was just people saying racist bullshit on twitter or tumblr, people would care way less. If Milo was just doing stupid poo poo like being a twitter racist and crashing White House press conferences to demand explanations behind his twitter checkmark removal, people would be laughing at him more than they're angry at the guy.

Somehow I haven't yet figured out that if poptart fairy shows up in a thread out of nowhere to start a derail over some bullshit "puppetmaster", the person he's talking about is obviously, among numerous other offenses like being a neoreactionary misogynist, a Gamergater. Why does poptart fairy show up in random threads to start talking about Gamergate apropos of nothing? Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be that he has an unusual variant of Tourette's that gives him the unique tic of compulsively shouting "GAMERGATE" at random intervals. It could be that, being somehow even more of an intellectual coward than most Gamergaters, he really wants to fully support Gamergate but is too craven to do so except from one layer. It could be that he has this cowardice because, as he has explicitly stated numerous times in the past, he worships the South Park "perhaps the truth is in the middle" mentality, and believes that he is taking a neutral enlightened position. It could be that he is merely a lovely gimmick poster who, like he projects onto his heroes Milo and #whenisinternationalmensday, merely wants attention in the clumsiest way possible -- the equivalent of your neighbor playing crash cymbals outside your house at three in the morning and acting smug when tell them to shut the gently caress up just like they planned. It could be that he is merely a lovely gimmick who posts dumb bad words without putting quote tags around them. It could be that he has no actual interest in any of the threads he posts in, as evidenced by him never posting any intentional content in any of them, and sees them merely as a collection of vehicles he can use to start blathering about Gamergate whenever the mood strikes him, which is literally always. It could be that this is why he would be missing from a thread for months, but would appear within minutes as soon as the word "Gamergate" was posted and it appeared on whatever he was using to obsessively search the forums for his favorite and in fact only subject of conversation. It could be that he is just another pathetic Gamergater who has found a way to spread his Gamergating beyond the hellthread or whatever the current equivalent is in a way that flies under the mods' radar and doesn't get him banned like the rest of the Gamergate shitposters. But I think that the most likely reason of all, may have been that his brain is two sizes too small.

I got my degree online, it minimized the toxic feminism pervasive in today's educational system. Sure there were conflicts, but women taking comments out of context is nothing compared to false rape allegations.

How do you keep someone from escalating by doing the exact thing that's escalating them.

Speaking personally, the escalation is the point. The best thing that can come from Milo is for him to have a completely self-destructive breakdown that makes what happened to Jason Russell seem recoverable. Basically, I'd like to see the "Breitbart on Twitter" comparison to be prophetic.

But the people getting hurt by escalation aren't the people wanting it escalated.

"Hooray, this person deliberately provoking an angry response from me is getting others worked up in anger! A victory!"

I just don't see the logic, tbh. It's like congratulating myself because I typed a long winded counter-argument to an LoB post.

Summary: Two people are involved in a crime and are caught. Each person can choose to either rat out the other person or remain silent. This results in 4 different outcomes for each person A, B, C, or D, A being most favorable and D being least favorable.

If both cooperate and remain silent, each person will be given B.

If both don't cooperate and rat each other out, each person will be given C.

If one doesn't cooperate and the other does. The person that didn't cooperate will receive outcome A and the other person will receive outcome D.

The Prisoner's Dilemma can be applied with having relationships with women and this is how each outcome can be broken down:

A. You get sex, but don't have to commit. This is usually given to Chad Thundercook, Alpha males, or PUAs. This requires a lot of hard work learning and practicing game constantly and facing a lot of rejections in the process. It is difficult to achieve, it might also require breaking your own moral code resorting to actions such as lying and cheating. This is what The Red Pill tries to achieve.

B. The blue pill fantasy, commitment and sex are exchanged mutually with respect from both partners. This requires finding a Unicorn a NAWALT it simply does not exist. This is the idea being sold to us since we are born. It is pushed on to us by women so they can get what they want from us, and so that they end up with option A. Which for them is resources and commitment without giving sex. You might have fallen for the idea that this fantasy actually exists (I know I have), but it's time to see it for what it is an illusion. This can only be achieved if the government put laws that restrict female hypergamous nature, not going to happen in our gynocentric society.

C. MGTOW, simply refusing to play the game.

D. Divorce rape, paying alimony, being used for money and resources, and dead bedrooms. While you see the person you put trust and faith completely using you for what you have, not worth the risk for a wet hole or the fantasy of having companionship and love from a woman.

Sure, A is a viable option, but it requires a lot of work and also risk of ending up with outcome D. The reward is one night stands or plates which I simply don't see as being worthwhile. B would be great if it actually existed. Since A and B are not viable, I have picked scenario C. Outcome D is completely and utterly brutal and no one even bats an eye, for men with good intentions that get completely screwed over.

The correct choice is C, do not play the game. Even the video mentions at the end that the most logical choice is choosing not to cooperate.

I was under the impression that he actually worked at Brietbart.

A co-worker really likes Brietbart and keeps trying to get me to go to a show. So when other people overhear and ask what kind of show, I exclusively refer to his "stand-up tour" as the Dirty human being Tour. Which turns a whole lot of people off of it.

E: vvv I should have added context, he named his tour "the Dangerous human being tour"

My serial-conspiracy-theory posting FB friend is on another roll. Apparently, there was shooting at a club in SC, with some guy getting into an argument and firing into a small crowd of people, hitting 3 before someone returned fire, hitting the shooter in the leg.

According to him, this is a COVERUP by the media because a GOOD GUY WITH A GUN fired back and ended the "possible massacre", and the reason it wasn't on mainstream national news is because democrats are coming to take your guns.

I guess the guy is forgetting that 4 people shot on any given night is like the national pasttime nowadays and isn't really that big of a story. No ties to ISIS, no double-digit body counts, no bombs - just some jackoff with a gun and grudge.

This is like a perfect storm of pro-gun stuff. Black man with illegally obtained gun is stopped by good guy with conceal carry license. Nobody died, either, so the guy is a hero. It probably didn't make the news because it's par for the course in a surprisingly large part of America, like you said.

Also, the office who spoke to this news outlet is named "Lieutenant Bobo", which is pretty fun.

Everyone is a good guy with a gun until precisely the moment they're not.

Go ahead and point out the fact that the shooter was a black man, but then casually mention that he had an illegal gun. If the 2nd amendment dudes have a problem with the first part but not the second part (why is that GUN illegal!!11), they're hypocrites.
