More like he send them poo poo in private and they just responded publicly by throwing him under the bus.

Mixed apparently, he got a decent amount of private messages too from them. He said most the woke journos/ critics don't like each other much in private and constantly talk poo poo behind each other's backs. Honestly out of everything he said that's what I believe the most, because I have seen that leak into the public a few times and its politics allies 101.

I always thought that most of the big people weren't really into vidoe games at all, they just saw an opportunity and took it. Didn't Milo have some thing where he showed he knew basically nothing about video games?

He actually used to poo poo on people who played video games, calling them no-life virgins.

I won’t lie: Grand Theft Auto V sounds spectacularly exciting, but it’s not for me. It’s too complicated, it’s too much effort, and it’s too blood-soaked to give me any sort of vicarious thrill. In a real world of terrorism, child grooming gangs and sex changes, nothing the video game people can come up with can compete with the pages of The Sun. I can only conclude that the yellow underpants brigade – teens and man-children addicted to these immersive video games – aren’t getting enough stimulation in real life.

Not only that, but the suggestion that the front page of the Sun has some greater connection to reality than a ridiculous over the top video game.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Are you guys paying attention to Charlotteville? Youtuber baked Alaska was there and ate some pepper spray. Someone plowed their car into a crowd of antifa protesters. Someone has already been declared dead. Things are getting out of control.

That's...pretty much the opposite of what's happened. Charlottesville is generally blue, its police department has a comparatively good record, and they've already arrested the driver.

He's probably one of these Randians who believes that racism*, communism, nationalism, socialism, communalism, religions, families, community codes of conduct, etc. are all bad, but only because they are collective, they see links between groups and actions and are therefore all equally bad. The only true good is sitting alone in your home office pulling your pud.

*Which of course applies equally to both BLM and Neo-Nazis, because they both see race.

There's an old airplane pilot joke that helicopters can't actually fly, they're just rejected by the earth because of how ugly they are. They just made the mistake of flying over an event even uglier than a helicopter.

Well yes I know it is very easy to crash a helicopter if you don't look after it or know how to fly it but police helicopters aren't cheap so I assume they do not, as a rule, crash. So it seems suspicious.

Remember how many US military helicopters crashed in Iraq and Afganistan? They actually do just fall out the sky sometimes. They're way more unsafe than planes.

I suppose I've never heard of any of our lot crashing their helicopters so I figured it wasn't a thing that happened to civilian helicopters operated by major governmental organizations and if it does happen it would make sense to assume interference.

england is geographically small enough that it's feasible to control police aviation on the national level, ensuring a higher quality of resources and maintenance. in the us any podunk force can have their own lovely hand me down chopper with bad upkeep

Which makes sense for some things like why the US doesn't have a single monolithic police department but I think it makes rather less sense when it means it simply does not and constitutionally can not make laws about a bunch of stuff.

That seems like another instance where "Well you can't trust the government to make good laws so let's stop them making any" invites more questions than it answers.
