Has history actually shown that? Were comedians and opportunistic video games journalists the harbingers of genocide at some point? I'm betting it was serious people and not obvious trolls that led to every great massacre in history.

And Milo Yopolis is just a oval office. A young gay Brit espouses all the exact same ideas as Rush Limbaugh? How do people not see right through this?

This.

I've watched interviews with Milo, and he's admitted a few times that he's a contrarian who likes to get a rise out of people. He might truly believe in what he says, but most of all he just enjoys trolling people. I saw an interview he did with Gavin McInnes (I know, I know), and he said to him, not an exact quote but, "We're natural contrarians, in five years when the mainstream pendulum swings the other way, we'll be on the other side pissing off the right".

So I can't take him too seriously. He's like an exaggerated version of right wing gay guy.

I'm just ironically burning this cross on this black guy's lawn, bro. Maybe if society wasn't so liberal pussified I wouldn't have to act so contrarian.

Regardless how "obvious" it may be, if the people who read his dreck thought he was a troll they wouldn't be reading it. What you or even he think about his motives or intentions is immaterial in the face of its effect.

Edit : maybe self loathing isn't the right term here. But I don't know what else you would call it. He clearly would rather not be gay, and has little empathy for regard for other gay people. Possibly due to his own unresolved issues. What do you call that?

Milo's a xenophobic fuckhead but he doesn't seem self-loathing at all. I mean he's very, very obviously gay and he seems comfortable with it. I don't know where people are getting that vibe from. I think it's just because his political orientation doesn't fit your narrow-minded stereotype of what a gay person should be like. It's just as cringe-inducing as when liberals accuse all female Republicans of being women who've simply internalized misogyny, or when they call black Republicans "Uncle Toms". It's condescending as gently caress. Like, you're incapable of taking these people seriously as individuals with their own thoughts and opinions, which they've formed as a result of their own personal experiences. All you see is a Gay Person, or a Woman, or a Black Person. You're just as bad as Milo is when he claims liberals are all just self-hating white people.

To be fair to the people you're complaining about, black Republicans are loving Uncle Tom self-loathing scumbag retards, as are all female Republicans, gay Republicans, and other minorities who are loathed by the GOP on a loving fundamental level and yet attempt to get in with them because they're greedy pigs.

Like on top gear!

There is no bigger scum in life than comedians and trolls who maliciously strike at the unfortunate and dispossessed because history has shown that people like them are actual poison who actually convert people into hurting others. because behind every punchline of theirs there's hundreds of years worth of actual suffering meted out by people like them, when the pendulum swings they won't swing leftwards they'll just keep swinging ever more rightwards in the face of their core audience.

Checked out Your Moms House in the last week and love it. H2Champ and Big Mommy Jacket make a cute couple and it's definitely an easy hour and a half to get through. On some of the shows they spend half the time watching clips and riffing on them but since I usually get the podcast on youtube it works for me.

Highly recommended.

YourMomsHouse is the best podcast on the internet. I just got done watching the newest episode (patreon perks). Now that they do the podcast on youtube, it's like my favorite weekly TV show.



In other news that is relevant to this thread, Everyone's favorite alt-right retard Milo got banned from twitter. Apparently for good this time, due to his HILARIOUS PRANK of getting his followers to tweet racist poo poo nonstop at the black chick from that new Ghostbusters movie.

I listen to episodes of the JRE with science and social science experts. Learning Joe is Good Joe. Although I went back to the first episodes to see what they are like and man not good. LOL at all the technical problems in the first few episodes. I totally understand that now that I have my own podcast.

What's misinformed about it? I tried to look up what happened and it seemed to be more or less exactly what Joe was saying. The more outrageous claims I saw about the banning didn't cite anything specific, just scary buzzwords about inciting harassment which always make me skeptical. I hate it when articles describe how to me awful things are and exactly how I am supposed to feel about it without actually showing me.

He directed his band of incels to call her racial slurs en masse so yeah he should probably get banned

May 5, 2004

By directing do you mean he specifically tweeted to his followers instructions to harass her

or

did he insult her in the movie and then his followers on their own decided to harass her. One of those situations should be bannable and the other should not imo.

Like, if I have a million followers and I say "wow Jay Leno's new talk show is a loving abortion" and crazy fans see it and decide to attack him on twitter, it'd be hosed up that my airing an opinion is the same now as inciting harassment/a bannable offense. Hope this makes sense.

Milo directed his followers to attack the only black woman in the film with racially vile bullshit. He has a long history of being a piece of poo poo on Twitter to people. There is a big difference of you saying "hurrr Leno sucks" and people going "lol ya man he sucks!!!" and a targeted attack with thousands calling a woman a number of disgusting racial slurs. Hope this makes sense.

Here is Milo telling his broken brain fans to try and hide being pieces of poo poo and failing just in case you need furthur proof

That article is from months ago & the entire thing looks like they're just loving with the buzzfeed guy and he doesn't know it.

Sorry, I'm still skeptical of him personally directing people since no one can seem to produce a screencap, archive page or anything (which everyone is very quick to do these days, no deleted tweet is safe).

This kind of reporting reminds me a lot of the whole "James Rolfe is a sexist" thing from a month or two ago after he put out a video saying he didn't want to watch Ghostbusters cause it looked bad from the trailer. Cue article after article and a twitter campaign saying he made a sexist rant while not actually citing anything specific, while his actual video was very well reasoned and calm as hell- it's just a big game if internet telephone.

This movie just seems to bring the worst out in everyone.

He's horrible and I am in no way defending him, but I don't see where he tells anyone to go after her, either. Is there anywhere he specifically tells his fans to single out Leslie Jones and tweet mean things to her?

I never listened to the rogan podcast he was on. I remember the first appearance a year ago and that was enough for me.

I still don't see him directly inciting people specifically to harass her there & the childish racist insults you can just block/mute. Tho if I were twitter I'd have definitely banned him for the fake tweet spam.
