This morning, Leslie Jones‘ was violated when her personal website was hacked. The hackers leaked her license and passport as well as nude photos. Jones is no stranger to cyber bullying. When Ghostbusters was released, she received so many racist and hateful comments on her Twitter account that she temporarily “quit” the platform.

Breitbart writer Milo Yiannopoulos was one of the people after her, and after Tweeting that she was “barely literate” and “playing the victim” his account was permanently suspended due to “targeted abuse.” Milo is still on Snapchat, however, and in the wake of news of the hack, he sent a selfie with the caption, “Karma’s a bitch.”

I used to kind of pity Milo as much as I hated him. He as a clearly self-hating man being used as token puppet for the biggest assholes around. Now I see him as more of a self-loathing sociopath taking his entitlement complex and self-worth issues out on everyone else.

I'm sure there are Trump supporters who would willingly give up money that could be spent on their children's medical bills or education to go toward a "kill the liberal media" legal fund operated by a billionaire.

That said, the Russell Brand bit seems relatively neutral and/or a reasonable assessment even though the person posting (and maybe Brand?

6) LGBT & BLM - Milo Yiannopoulos
Belief:
- The LGBT movement now has so much political and social power that it has unfortunately turned into a movement devoted to bullying religious people.
- For example, Gays will intentionally seek out Christian bakers that refuse to bake a cake for their gay wedding with the intent of humiliating their business on social media.
- People, Gay or Christian, have a natural right to refuse service to anyone they please. Let the free market decide if they'll stay in business without bully tactics.
- BLM is the sole remaining race supremacy group left in the United States with any REAL political and social power. After all, how many politicians do you hear kowtowing to the KKK nowadays?
- Whenever BLM does anything, the liberal media and our politicians are afraid to speak out against them in the fear of political consequences. BLM hate white people, hate all cops, and ignore basic facts like how black-on-black crime dwarfs the statistic of police brutality in the United States.

Was these sorts of excuses made when african americans in the south were denied service? Because that's what Milo is arguing for.

"Well the free market" :downs: is perhaps the dumbest argument in regards to continuing to allow people to be discriminated against.

We did let the free market decide though, Milo. Target thinks there's more profit in being nice to gays and transgendered than not, but your Christians threw a poo poo fit when the free market didn't want you to harass short haired women in a restroom. If anyone's going against capitalism, why, that would be your side, buddy.

There's a difference between someone like Milo and say, Penn Jilette in regards to being :downs: free market about things.

Penn made the argument that he believed that the free market should decide things...up until those things flat out discriminate against someone, then the government should step in. Which is truly believing in the "Government being the last resort" sort of thing.

Which is why when he was interviewed about the Indiana Pizza controversy? He was kinda like "Yeah. They SHOULD serve the pizza. This is a situation where the government needs to step in".

Milo and these other shitbags don't believe that.

Milo also dropped by to poo poo up the SFF fandom by co-authoring a pamphlet called "SJWs Always Lie" with notorious misogynist and racist Theodore "Vox Day" Beale. Their minions got it nominated for the Hugo award, but it placed dead last behind "no preference" and "just don't give anyone the award" in the actual vote.

The main difference is you don't debate people like Milo at all because then you get people like Richard Spencer. If Dick Dworkins taught us one thing it's that you don't debate crazy.

Like most conservative views on their political opponents, the idea that liberals/leftists are oversensitive is just them projecting real hard. It's actually kinda of uncanny how just about every insult conservatives use against liberals applies to themselves.

edit: Some day we will find out that Milo's mom is been held hostage for the past few years and that he has been threatened to continue expressing terrible alt-right political opinions or they'll kill his mom.

His mom will be rescued and then someone will say "It's okay. You can finally rest now" to Milo and he will burst into tears.

Okay, how is someone being denied service at a store and then telling people about it, and suggesting they no longer shop there, not the free market?

Like, isn't that how they say the free market would work? Isn't that the justification to get rid of things like quality control and meat inspectors and poo poo because, "oh, if you don't offer the best service, people will spread the word and you'll go out of business!"

Isn't this exactly what they want?
