Yeah, indigenous people, men and women, are easily the most at-risk group when it comes to murders and are disproportionately attack by whites, especially men. But I guess that doesn't fit jnto the concern troll narrative of the savage urban thug and/or the whiny <whoever is criticizing>

Also due to the ephemeral and tribal nature of 4chan boards if enough people say something often enough it gets accepted as fact. My friend once convinced their music board for a solid several months that Antichrist Superstar was a forgotten classic and highly under appreciated because it was basically a secret 9 inch nails album and after a week of spamming that poo poo it basically carried itself as an accepted opinion for an entire summer.

Phil Sandifer posted a not bad analysis of WTF happened to Twitter, threads starting here, here and here. I'll c'n'p the text because it's vastly easier to read that way:

quote:

Two important things to point out about the Milo/Pedophilia thing.

1) Milo's comments are nowhere near the worst things he's ever said. He's making a very standard point about the historical importance of age-gap relationships in the gay male community. Those sorts of relationships are probably not great in the general case, but they're also not, in the general case, predatory pedophilia. They existed for reasons of historical oppression, as a consequence of the closet and confused/scared gay kids discovering the gay scene. Equating them with predatory pedophilia is a classic homophobic trope. All of this is pretty Gay History 101 stuff that Milo regurgitated.

2) Milo has shamelessly used false accusations of pedophilia to whip up moral panic about people he doxes. And *that's* the important thing here. The fact that he's a soulless, hypocritical sadist with no principles whatsoever. The fact that there is *nothing* he won't betray in service of writing a sub-tabloid hit piece for whoever he's being a lapdog for this week. That's why the "what Milo has to say is worth hearing" defense falls flat. Because he literally has nothing to say beyond his raw cruelty. Anything that isn't sadism is just a temporary affectation to facilitate the sadism. And his supporters loving well know it.

quote:

I admit, I'm a little surprised Milo's comments were enough to cause this massive a downfall. (Lost CPAC, book deal, might lose Breitbart.) Even allowing for the ways conservatives are going to hate this more than most poo poo Milo pulls, it's a bit shocking.

Seems a prime case of "the fatal wound and the cause of death are not always the same." i.e., Milo had pissed off a lot of people who were waiting for an excuse to throw him under the bus. And once one materialized, the knives all came out at once.

quote:

"Milo is no more a pedo than the crisis actor who "attacked" Comet Pizza was a genuine right-wing religious nut." -Vox Day calls Milo a pedo

quote:

So I've been thinking about this today, in slightly different terms - specifically, concern trolling leftist resistance and why it works. The answer being that the left's default failure mode is the circular firing squad. Playing us off of each other *works*.

But that's not generally true of the right. Attempts to divide them don't always fail, but it's not their standard failure mode. The right tends to fail by overreaching. And that's how/why no-platforming works even against people like Milo who exploit the attention. Yes, protests against Milo raised his profile. But once his profile got high enough, he suddenly imploded.

And it really was sudden. Yesterday he appeared to have a strong position. Today the knives came out in one shot. Largely, one suspects, because Milo really was a tedious gently caress whose only friends were friends cause there was money in it.

tl;dr, the right is prone to overreaching and easy to bait into doubling down. Exploiting that brought down Milo. Hooray.

I pointed out that it can take a bit long, i.e. Trump is only just hitting the "overreaching" stage. He noted that "The problem with overreaching is it tends to come after an unfortunate amount of reaching."
