Kurt Eichenwald is exhibit A on how social issues are abandoned immediately by Sensible people (who will tell you they are the ones looking out for minorities) the second they can find an opportunity. The idea that moderates are the ones that are standing up for the rights of the disadvantaged is such bullshit.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
The reality is that the fair weather friends we sometimes allied with are tools who will betray us at a drop of the hat. We are in this alone and the left must conqueror the country with only victory in mind to subvert the evils of humanity that created conservatives and bring about prosperity.

The aim of the left is to pull the evil of those who abused the structures of class and race to their proper place nd elevate those who have been abused by the system to their proper place. I call that prosperity and utopia.

The goal is justice, equality, fairness, and progress.

What you're describing is more akin to communism/marxism, while the American left, at it's leftist, is still more capitalist then socialist.

But the establishment right is the one bashing students for wanting to disinvite Milo. I mean, this is irony in its essence.

Colleges disinvite Milo from speaking, conservatives attack colleges for disinviting him and invite him to speak, conservatives pay attention to what he says, conservatives disinvite him.

The funny thing is that Soros probably gives very few poo poo about politics and just really cares about making money and likely just gives enough money to charity to get the maximum return in tax breaks, as prescribed by his accountant.

It's simpler than that. Soros really loving hated W. So he spent a lot of money trying to ensure W wouldn't get reelected in 2004. This was mostly a business decision because W was terrible for his line of business.

The fact that he also has an ultra-weird personal backstory makes the conspiracies easier to swallow.

That guy is such a tool, from the last week of junk about him. Turns out a gay dude can love vague culturally-liberal things and still be a greedy racist nationalist in his heart, especially after turning 30. His 'mean' former friends on the left are probably just not bothering to police their tone and verbiage. Guy doesn't understand (or does?) that he's at best a token PR flack for right-wingers, at worst a future Uncle Tom.

Yeah, the only negative to this video getting so much play on the right is that while Milo is a lovely, horrible person who deserves every bad thing that has happened and will happen to him, this is just going to confirm negative stereotypes to shithead anti-gay activists who were just waiting for a prominent gay to act like this. It's Milo's end goal, essentially, though I imagine he was hoping he would avoid any personal damage to his brand.

Even in his apology post on Facebook, he was still trying to play it off as "it was just a joke, you just don't get British humor." I hope soon we'll forget Milo ever existed.

Milo is under attack, not because anyone in their right mind believes he is a pedophile. But because this young man, an Immigrant, a Conservative, and a handsome Homosexual is an effective voice for the right. He must be destroyed.

This is literally the reason for dumb bathroom bills like the one here in NC. Yokels who have no friends or family out of the closet, they're still so terrified of the gay chomo bogeyman that they'll support idiotic policy like that.

The only upside about the crazy accumulation of capital with no downward trickling: big business doesn't support peckerwood legislation, so we get free-market sanctions (+ a few state ones) to pressure our industries and lawmakers.
