--- Quote from: Badspot on February 02, 2017, 04:50:09 AM ---There's negative connotation on the term "rabble-rouser", indicating that you think he stirs up trouble intentionally (the trouble at hand is a riot). You said he has a hostile cult following, implying mindless followers. You said he talks loudly, implying some kind of unjustified influence over these mindless drones (he doens't talk "persuasively", it's just loud ie he bombards them with bad ideas). The whole sentence implies that he whipped up a crowd of his own followers into this riot or that somehow his followers are to blame for provoking people. The second option fits right in with a popular far left narrative going around that it's acceptable to respond to words and ideas with actual physical violence (punch a national socialist, etc) If that's not what you meant to say then you should chose your words more carefully. --- End quote --- Yeah, I kinda forgeted up trying to make a witty laconic explanation that ended up being needlessly critical of Milo. I probably could have worded that a hell of a lot better, in hindsight. Considering context of the thread, it comes off like I was trying to blame him for the rioting. Apologies to rambo it came off that way. I was trying to convey that his outspoken critique of ideologies he deems regressive seems to stir up a lotta stuff in the political scene, and he's gathered somewhat of a volatile following. Also related to thread - http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/01/us/milo-yiannopoulos-berkeley/index.html (warning: autoplaying video) CNN being stupid once again trying to play this off as a "Protest". It was a riot, clear as day. Protestors don't light vehicles on fire and damage property. |

Antifa are domestic terrorists and should be treated as such. |

So did everyone forget about the incident at Seattle about a week ago? One of Milo's chuds almost killed someone by gunshot outside the event. |

He turned himself in to police and was released without charge. Unfortunately, California does not respect the human right of self defense so the Berkley rioters were able to assault their victims without consequence. |

Here's a few real life examples of how absurdly liberal my school is: kick the top fraternity on campus(SAE) for a video that contains "there will never be a monday in SAE", but allows black students to paint swasticas and blame white students while literally assaulting Annoying Orange supporters on election day, while allowing a black running back to remain in school after breaking a girls face. This is in arguably the most conservitive state in the US, Oklahoma. It's also worth noting that this happens at Milo's events all the time. To quote the great Winston Churchill, "The fascists of the future will be the "anti fascists"". |
