    ****ing hypocrite . Dude has been bullying people and getting away with his special privileges of acting as a self hating gay. Hope he hits rock bottom and actually ruminates on his shitty existence.

    So uh the Berkeley protestors were actually NICE to him . . . relatively speaking. Milo would give anything to go back to that day. :D

    No actually, not at all.....him getting fired doesn't make violent douchebags any better. They are still violent douchebags and they were still wrong. Firing someone or disinviting someone from speaking is one thing, lighting things on fire and vandalizing property is another.....hopefully this concept isn't too advanced for you to comprehend.

    VCs don't **** around. I guess Dunham's weird stuff with her sister didn't scare off HBO or book editors.

    I have issues with both Maher and Milo, actually not really with them but the trend of populism and misinformation. These guys are both selling an agenda, Milo seems to revel in the idea of controversial commentary with a focus on the Alt-right talking points. Maher is all about selling his enlightenment on non-religiousness. Neither has any expertise, they are simply commentators. I have little faith in their objectivity to facts/research or societal realities, imo most commentators fall into this category. I think that is fine, everyone should have a voice and an opinion, it should not be stopped at that level, even though they are influential to the masses. However, our current environment globally is deteriorating at various levels due to mass overload of information which is causing fault lines within societies (Truth is now up for debate). Heck, Putin is popular in Russia, he has written the book on populism and misinformation. Everyone seems to using a similar formula, DT won because of it.

    These two knuckleheads in themselves are not the problem. Problem is how to police the underlying systemic issue of too much information.

    The split was already there. Winning the election just distracted everyone from it for a while. Now the dust is settling, and the same old fractures are still there, and it's only going to get worse. Trump has to unite his party if he wants to stand any chance at a re-election bid.

    Because if he was a left wing activist and the right treated him like the left treats him now.... the left would be screaming antisemitism and and anti-gay racism crap from every media orifice available.

    I guess you would have a point if there was an actual gay/Jewish left wing activist who was spewing the sort of vile, attention-grabbing trolling that Milo is and has the same media presence. Bill Maher could be an example, but he gets attacked from the left about as much as he does from the right and isn't gay or Jewish(his mother is Jewish so I guess he technically is although raised Roman Catholic and a decidedly outspoken atheist). So in other words your point is complete circular reasoning.

    Like many a promoter like Trump and Ann Coulter Milo shows how to develop your celebrity status and brand and male money simply by being an ass.

    okierock is the type of person to make a very vague general talking point and then never posts a source that backs up his claim. He's also too lazy to read your sources refuting his claim. The worst kind of debater.
