That account belongs to someone on BG, cause that sounds too familiar.

lmao if yall don't follow godfrey you should

Why? To read a bunch of logical fallacy?

I really don't understand why this has become the alt-right (or whatever you want to call it because I'm sure someone wants to nitpick this) main strategy. Find the people using extreme language, make the argument that the person or topic in question doesn't match the most extreme accusations, then call it a day. Like you've won. Like you've invalidated all criticism.

Let's look at some Milo quotes just for fun.

"If white privilege is a thing, why are people working so hard to be black? All of the award shows and cultural events favor black culture."

"Now, some of the most dangerous places for women to be in the world are modern, Western, rich European countries. Why? One reason. Islamic immigration - it's got to stop."
This one may be my favorite. Yeah, those women are more at risk from the Islamic immigration in the West than they are in the Islamic countries themselves. What????

"It’s time to eject transgender people–specifically, the screeching, bullying, authoritarian trans rights lobby–out of the gay club, at least until they learn how to behave properly to the rest of us."
In an article he penned about "Drop the T" from "LGBT".

Here's just some links to articles he wrote with their titles

I got exhausted from this, so... yeah. I'm not saying this justifies trying to silence the guy, but give me a fuckin break with the "he's not a shit stirrer / anything people say he is!" Don't be an idiot.

i was saying it was a funny account

[NynJa]

It was a sarcastic comment because thats literally how some people act.

The whole "if youre not with us, youre against us" mentality has never been so prevalent as these past few months.

"I believe men and women should be paid the same wage for the same duties, and i dont believe that women make 77cents to the dollar men make for the same task is " = OMG SEXIST PIG

"Trump and Hillary were both shitty candidates" = OMG FUCKING NAZI TRUMP SUPPORTER (not even joking)

I'm well aware of the sarcasm. It irritates me (clearly) that this is an actual defense people use, though.

I'm pretty comfortable saying that I stand against some of the views Milo espouses, so I find it rather dismissive when comments like these get signal boosted across the web as the ultimate takedown of the fee-feeing left. No, dude is actually a shitbag. That's not that hard of a concept to swallow. Some leftists will call him a Nazi because they're dumb, just like some conservatives would call every Democrat a socialist.

[Andalusian girls]

Hero to Zero the moment they do something the hive mind doesn't like. It's the new Liberal way. Want to know how Hitler consolidated power so easily? I'm not exactly a history scholar, but I'm willing to bet that what we're going through is almost a complete re-run of that.

as a pretend scholar of history i can guarantee you no, no we are not.

That's fuckin ridiculous.. some of you are communists.

[Seha]

Only in America there's people who consider socialist a shocking word lol.

[Day]

haha i know right, socialism never caused any problems in history

[Zealot]

All things are absolutes am I right? Of course I am because I'm not a little bit wrong so I'm completely right.

[Galkaeater]

Before anyone mentions them no the nordic countries are not socialist countries.

[Andalusian girls]

Only in America there's people who consider socialist a shocking word lol.

it has been my experience the people who most hate the word are Eastern Europeans who lived under Soviet dominion.

[tyven]

i prefer countries that didn't live under soviet dominion

[thetruepandagod]

i prefer countries that didn't live under soviet dominion

why do you hate my peoples so.

You're the one defending the self hating homosexual homophobe, the onus is on you to defend him. Dude is trash, his parents should have stopped whipping him for being gay and instead whipped him for that haircut. Just cause you're american doesn't mean you have to defend the rights of people who actively try to take rights away from other americans.

Fuck you his hair is more fabulous than you could ever hope to be. Also dude is a provocateur not a politician. He isn't trying to take anything he's trying to get you guys to take the bait and look like idiots in the process. Congratulations you fell for it and fed the troll

Right. Which is why universities shouldn't allow him to talk on their campuses.

[Salodin]

I lost

But archi with the save.

[thetruepandagod]

Right. Which is why universities shouldn't allow him to talk on their campuses.

I don't disagree with this as he brings literally nothing to the table in regards to discourse or opposing ideals.

But watching protests/riots is entertaining so i'm stuck in an odd place. Ideally there would be an intelligent speaker that would also result in protests.

[dasva]

Right. Which is why universities shouldn't allow him to talk on their campuses.

Really it's up to them. I'd argue they should say they are going to let him on in order to see who acts the fool and then kick them all off the campus.

[TheDirtyHobo]

Right. Which is why universities shouldn't allow him to talk on their campuses.

The much easier approach would be to, y'know, ignore him. Protests and bans just further galvanize both sides and make him even more popular.
