I commented on the Berkeley farce - but did so knowing nothing at all about this Milo character - so figured probably good idea to rectify that situation - and sadly, sad because unsurprisingly, I found nothing to justify the left’s outrage. Now, I just watched a few videos to get a feeling for his thinking in general and a sense of what his ‘act’ is all about - and maybe there’s other stuff out there that I would take exception to - but from what I did witness his ‘arguments’ amount to mainstream rebuttals of the progressive agenda and precepts - sure, delivered with a certain animation that is no doubt intended to offend and get a rise out of people - but as he would rightly say what the fuck good is free speech if you can’t offend people? Indeed, how can free speech even exist if it can be shut down simply because some jerkoff somewhere gets offended?
Ya know, I’m sure he’s said some things that I’d find problematic - but by and large I agree with the points he makes and see them as legitimate counter arguments to throw against the nonsense spewed from the liberal hivemind - which would seem to indicate the outraged left hates the guy simply because he effectively disagrees with what they believe. Or maybe it’s just because he’s an entertaining gay guy who is conservative and funny gay guys are not allowed to be anything but liberal. Whatever it is, that the left thinks it legitimate to riot over opinions being expressed that are ‘flawed’ only in the sense that they do not conform with progressive orthodoxy is truly cause to worry about where Western culture is heading. Very hard to see this ending well.
