Milo Yiannoupoulis banned!

It's like saying Ann Coulter is entirely harmless because she doesn't really believe what she's saying and is only doing it because it makes her money.

Intention means absolutely nothing. The people reading and watching believe it, and it feeds into the fact that they very much do hold those views and take them away into the 'real' world with them.

Is this something new or just as it ever was, the real power of silly / self interested pragmatists & manipulators (who may or may not at all really believe a thing they're saying) to leverage great swathes of sincere & dangerous followers on their behalf? Eg the daily mail, presumably it's just there to sell copies of the daily mail,but that doesn't make it any less of a weapon.

So was Milo. During Gamergate, harassing women.
MY didn't start with GG; he just used that as a springboard for twitter popularity. He slagged off gamers before there was an identifiable alt-right faction within them that could be played to.

Coulter was like a decade before any of it.

I didn't say he'd started with it.

I know he was criticising video games; he wrote a lurid piece about GTA online being a violent rape simulator for Breitbart about a year before embracing GG
 
I'm not saying it's only twitter, get off it etc, etc and certainly not that fuckups should be allowed to coordinatedly and persistently abuse people online.

But outside Twitter, and YT, does he get any kind of coverage?

I only hear about these freaks from reading urban. That Rooj thing and whatsname.

MY is an editor (iirc) at Brietbart, in charge of the "Tech" section. Breitbart is a significant alt-right site.

He's a regular on the US college circuit, all sorts of Internet shows . He definitely has a following and an audience beyond twitter . And he's a walking troll. What's worse not even a very good one . It's so staged it looks just looks anachronistic and wooden . And sadly from what I can see a lot of what feeds him is outrage from those college types who are ban everything . They go fucking mental and he just sits back and laughs . He points at their idiocy..which gives him a grain of truth to build the rest of his hateful shit upon . Same goes for a few more of his contemporaries .
Safe spaces, triggering, micro agressions...it's just music to his ears . And money in his pocket. He's just taking penalty kicks and he's not even very good at it . I used to think if his opponents just addressed these issues more rationally he'd disappear up his own arse . But now I'm more aware of how he organises bullying and hate campaigns I reckon he'll ensure that doesn't happen either .
Definitely the last thing he wants mind . Feeds off outrage and has found an identity obsessed corner of the world that guarantees it .
Thing is though he'll wake up some morning and like Coulter before him hell be yesterday's news . Some other wanker will have perfected the same gig even better / worse than him .

Gets quite a bit of popularity from the universities who wanna give him a platform to spout whatever nonsense from where and such. I assume he gets quite the money from the societies that invite him too.
 
If you've never heard of him then you've never heard of him, so what?

Doesn't change the fact he's a reasonably high profile internet/media figure who peddles hate for cash.
 
Cute, I asked a question. You've behaved like a dick. Who's got the moral high ground here?

I don't have a previous identity. How many fucking times?

Since this all started with that Butchersapron guy, he should know that, as someone who's spent the last few months looking to get involved with groups like afed and solfed and others in Bristol, where he lives, they were quite interested, being familiar with this site, in his attitude toward other people. They don't take kindly to cyberbullying, and neither do I. I asked after him because I had made it clear that I would not consider joining a group that tolerated members like that.

I joined this site because I thought it was a reasonably safe space for like minded people. How sad that people who profess to be involved in class politics are just as unpleasant at those they criticise.
Quoted for future-proofing purposes.
 
who is up watching the news24 at 10am on a sunday? lol hardly prime time.

it's not 9 out of 10 cats isit.
i didn't say news24.

He's one of the regulars on the sunday morning 'debate' slow. I've seen him on that repeatedly, up until i stopped watching.

Did you think I meant that he's on prime time tv like eastenders or something?
