Euro Trash. Always get it wrong about America. They come here thinking "liberal" here mean the same as where they came from, it does not. Then they proceed to trash American progressives in some sort of pseudo intellectual pompous retort to gain some kind of acceptance. What they never get is the right wing Republicans here are the shitty party they hate where they are from. So they attack the wrong party looking stupid shallow just like the Euro Trash that they are. Also applies to you Milky Loads Sullivan.

I want him to die a lonely, agonizing death, hated by the very few people who remember him. I want his corpse to be undiscovered until the smell gets bad enough that no one mistakes it for English people trying to cook. And I want his unmarked grave to be littered with chip papers and dog dirts for all eternity.

He doesn't really regret being a Trumper. He regrets picking a losing hand, that's all.

There are people I know who voted for Trump who regret it. They think Trump lied and misrepresented himself. They're ashamed of themselves for falling for his schtick. Milo knew Trump was shit. He just figured Trump was shit he could hitch his publicity chariot to. No shame in the equation.

He's a shit-gulping back-stabbing two-faced self-serving cunt. End of story - and how I hope it IS the end of his story.

No way to reinvent yourself now, Milo. You are stuck being you until you finally die. There is no redemption possible - save the sort where you join a monastic order and brood over the depth of your sins for the rest of your life. Hey, that doesn't have to be bad. You could learn to bake bread. Collect alms for the poor. Address someone as "Brother Rupert". Tend a garden, nurse an injured fledgling, wash the flagstones of the cloister, lead a choir. Have hot gay sex with other monks and then feel really bad about it in confession.

He should’ve spent his time attacking heterosexuals instead since they are the ones who actually deserve that kind of hatred and vitriol. Instead he pandered to their prejudices, and as he turned his back on them, they did the same to him in return. But this time, who can blame them? He is no Robert E. Lee. Even Lincoln regretted losing him to the confederacy. Milo is more like a Benedict Arnold to both gays and conservatives.

So who is responsible for this guy continuing to hold an O Visa to remain here in the US? He must be sponsored by someone, but the Mercers dropped him years ago. He's useless, so who continues to prop him up?

You don't get green cards for marrying Americans anymore, and the fact that no one knows who his husband is makes me think he's not really married, anyway. You can't get a copy of a marriage certificate in Hawaii unless you're an authorized agent so no one would be able to verify his marriage, which I think is how he wanted it.

Milo Yiannopoulos:

--Is a Nazi but fooled everyone into thinking he is Jewish by saying "I'm part Jewish and therefore can't be antisemitic."

--Is racist but fooled many people into thinking he can't be because, he said, "I like big black cock." Out magazine printed this fucked up assertion in a context that suggested it's reasonable.

--Is not a college graduate, not even a bachelor's degree, yet somehow convinced people he is an intellectual and he had a short-lived career as a media pundit and a speaker at universities.

--Is not American yet was accepted readily by seemingly everyone as entitled to being a professional critic of US politics. His job prior to this was writing about video games. It makes NO fucking sense.

--Is not even fucking Milo Yiannopoulos. And that's not even his first false name. He was born Milo Hanrahan. He is English. Not Greek. Then he created the pen name Milo Andreas Wagner in part as a nod to Wagner because of Nazi sympathies.

Yet despite all this obvious, straightforward deception, he's been quoted in major newspapers, featured on television shows such as Bill Maher's HBO show.

What the fuck is wrong with this country?

He's white and so despite his accent and everything-Britishness people don't even see him as a foreigner. It makes zero fucking sense:

In all seriousness, Milo did this to himself. When be first came on the scene, he had some important things to say. Not all of it was correct, and most I disagreed with, but he at least had a vision.

But as he became more popular he became more lazy. He cared more about flaming people online and trying to be outrageous. However that gets old fast if you don’t have a message. And, as more and more gay conservatives hit the scene, he became even less relevant.

As for the pedo thing, I think it is clear his words were taken out of context. But, by that time, his writings and opinions lacked any real messages and be fell into irrelevancy.

Trump didn’t ruin his career. He did. He had 15 minutes and even if the pedo thing never happened he was going to fade away anyway.

by Anonymousreply 110December 13, 2020 6:11 AM

R110 When he came on the scene, it was for mocking women and cultivating a misogynist video game community. Then he was noticed by Breitbart or Bannon and hired to be a tech journalist, which was socio-political and then turned political. He never had anything important to say. He was a troll who said outlandish and offensive things to a community of horny, resentful geeks and his bad attitude caught the eye of powerful and wealthy conservatives who turned him into a troll of general politics.

He dropped out of one college and failed out of Cambridge. He doesn't have a college degree. He changed his name and self-published poetry that plagiarized Tori Amos lyrics. Then he changed his name again. He's a con artist.

Ben Shapiro, himself a troll but a Jewish one, quit Breitbart not long after Milo's star there began rising and Milo became a troll-critic of politics.

Among the messages you say were good were "feminism is worse than cancer," "I was raised Jewish but chose to be Catholic," "I like Big Black Cock," "ugly women should die," "globalists [Breitbart euphemism for Jews] are going to take over and erase white men" and "trans people are gross." For rallying young people with these messages, he was admitted to the White House rose garden, where he trolled President Obama by asking if he could force Twitter to restore his verification checkmark.

He is a troll and he always was. He played a major role in degrading civility and order in this country and HE IS NOT EVEN AMERICAN.

It was nothing but performative and vapid, nothing that's actually long term marketable.

Then he either got too big for his britches or no longer was necessary so they cut finances. If you base your life on nothing but gimmick and you set up your whole career to depend on sugar daddies for money, and sugar daddies are shitbags just like you, and you have no financially stable exit plan; you're an idiot AND a shitbag.

[quote] Then he either got too big for his britches or no longer was necessary so they cut finances.

It wasn't that. It was solely the videos of him advocating that adult men rape teen boys. That did him in at his most 'successful' point.

He had just recently been on Bill Maher's show, celebrated by Maher and garnering headlines in the Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, et al.

He had had a long stint of causing controversies with lawsuits over university speaking engagements.

He had a quarter-million-dollar book deal from Simon & Schuster, was scheduled to be a featured CPAC speaker. He had a major following.

Out magazine did an article of something like 6,000 words (stories that long almost never happen today) that gratuitously flattered him, complete with a flattering photo shoot. The writer's descriptions of him physically sounded like he lusted after Milo, and it presented Milo's racist suggestion that he can't be racist because he likes "big black cock" as a reasonable claim. This article was published withon a month prior to the 2016 election, during which time Milo was employed by the Trump campaign to rally gay voters for Trump. Out's editor defended the story as objective journalism, which it absolutely was not. Shortly thereafter, the writer quit Out and began to write for what? Breitbart. And he 'came out' as an alt-right white supremacist. In retrospect, it seems almost certain that Out's publisher must have gotten a huge check from the Mercers to betray its readership.

Then someone circulated those older videos and his whole nasty little empire collapsed like a house of cards. I think CPAC fired him first, followed by Breitbart. Then Simon & Schuster finally canceled his book contract. Then Bill Maher tried to cover his tracks by claiming credit for Milo's failure because it happened after Milo was on his show. (But he told EW after the show that he thinks Milo is 'reasonable'--probably only because they shared the cause of being allowed to offend people without consequence.)

I think it was around this time that Twitter banned him for harassing and instigating his fans to threaten Leslie Jones. He had tweeted about her, "If at first you don't succeed (because you have no talent), cry victim."

THEN the little bitch had the gall to post on Twitter "I am a victim of child abuse" with a long rant about how he has been abused by all those who have fired him.

Milo was not cut off because the Mercers were done with him. He was cut off because the pop culture tide he had ridden changed within 24 hours when his pedo videos resurfaced and CPAC drew a line. That was it. Had CPAC not fired him, then Breitbart certainly would not have and Simon & Schuster then would not have canceled his book contract and he would probably still be antagonizing universities and inciting violent protests, if not worse. So, in the most unlikely turn of events, we can thank CPAC for driving the stake through the heart of his career. The Mercers pulled the plug after the dominos fell, wanting not to be associated with him.

And then, later, all the Nazi shit came out and revealed he really was more than a puppet. His personal email password that he used at Breitbart referred to kristallnacht, and he courted relationships with Nazis on behalf of Breitbart. An email password is shared with no one. That was not done for show. It shows who he really is.

Probably true. He was interviewed in the UK and came off badly, and because he was always an amateur, kept accidentally showing off his bald spot and was teased mercilessly across social media for it. After Simon & Schuster cancelled his contract, the editing notes were leaked and his book was garbage that I don't think even the most patient, experienced editor could work with. Plus something like $250,000 went missing from that grant he had supposedly funded, and it was just ignored because by the time it was discovered, he had crashed and burned.

R116 Breitbart let him put his name on writing by unpaid interns. That was known even before S&S gave him a book deal. The publisher was just looking for a product to move without any care for the quality or content of his writing. That's what happens when all that matters in publishing is a platform that converts to sales.

by Anonymousreply 117December 13, 2020 10:44 AM

I question just how many interns he really had. Those interns that he called "shitposters" who would come here and spam political threads still came here long after he was fired from Breitbart, indicating that they were actually just Milo himself.

Regardless if those shitposters were writing his stuff for him at Breitbart, the editing notes that were leaked made it clear that S&S were deeply displeased with the shit he had turned in. They didn't just invent that excuse for the lawsuit, they had receipts to back it up.

It's notable that Milo ended up dropping the lawsuit and didn't get a settlement from S&S.

Milo's game was very short-sighted. His gimmick of agitating Liberals got stale very fast and his own side turned against him in a "I don't know her" way.

Why? He was a total dick working for homophobes who dumped him once he was more of a liability to them than useful. And the liability wasn't that he joked about pedophilia being good, it was that because of him the Mercer's scheme was uncovered (how they finance the alt-right). The alt-right used the pedophilia comments to get rid of one of their own.

How odd that no other far-right personality on campuses caused riots, only the one whose entire career was dependent on those riots happening.

R139, you misunderstand what I'm saying. Maher has on conservatives and liberals. Milo does not fall into the former; neither do Bannon nor Ben Shapiro - all of whom have appeared on Maher's show. He gives a platform to EXTREME right-wing views. He does not give a platform to the "far left" who are critical of HIM because he's a coward who is full of shit. He normalizes the far right by virtue of allowing them to voice their views on his show, yet he doesn't extend that courtesy to the "far left" because he knows he will be confronted by them for his own prejudice. The echo chamber is the one where Maher goes off about certain groups without the guts to have them on as guests to debate them, yet he will allow those on the far right who share his bigotry, to poison the well of public discourse.

Any asshole with a platform who proclaims that the first amendment is under attack and people are "snowflakes" stands a good chance of catching Maher's attention and getting on his show. He's very simple. He has a few simple messages: 1) he hates Trump (good); 2) free speech is under attack (mostly exaggerated and not an excuse to put Nazis on TV); 3) MARIJUANA IS SO COOL, GUYS!!! (He thinks it's 1988 and doesn't realize cannabis has gone totally mainstream and is not a bragging right.)

Environmentalism used to be a big push for him, long before most, but he gave it up almost totally many years ago.

And he used to mock all religious people but at some point in the past decade he seems to have decided that all Muslims are evil extremists and chose to totally overlook that most American Christians are evil extremists who only don't kill people becuause we have laws that forbid it.

I can guess that Milo is bitter for many reasons, not least of which is that Ann Coulter writes much the same sort of things and has a following, at least among crazy rabid right-wingers. Of course he feels betrayed. So far she has not written that there's nothing wrong with an older man having sex with a 13 year old boy. (As long as his sexual organs are "mature". ) That was Yiannopoulos's downfall. In most other respects, he's simply a male Ann Coulter......if that is not an oxymoron.

R158 I am pretty sure all Out's editor was thinking was, "Thanks for the check, Mercers! Now I can go to Tahiti!" I wrote for them over a decade ago, when they abruptly stopped paying writers and cut off communication with a lot of writers. They eventually sent out checks to most people but they unceremoniously and ungraciously severed relationships because of financial problems. There seems to be no integrity at the magazines regardless of ownership. Current editors say that they had nothing to do with that or with the Milo story, but the Milo thing totally killed my regard for Out and The Advocate for good. They can't just keep violating their own community's interests and be carried through because of a brand history.

When Out published the story, it was met with immediate backlash and the editor defended it adamantly as important and objective journalism. But it was not that and within a few days or a week or so, Out added this disclaimer to the top of it (still there) acquitting itself of any responsibility:

"Editor’s Note: It should not need saying that the views expressed by the subject of this piece in no way represent the opinions of this magazine, but in this era of social media tribalism, the mere act of covering a contentious person can be misinterpreted as an endorsement. If LGBTQ media takes its responsibilities seriously we can’t shy away from covering queer people who are at the center of this highly polarized election year, and we ask you to assess Milos Yiannopoulos, the focus of this profile, on his own words without mistaking them for ours."

Interestingly, the article includes this quote from him: "Everybody has bad shit happen to them, and you either use it to turn yourself into a star or you become a victim. And I don’t have time for victims,” he says. “If you allow the bad things in your life to define you, you will only ever be a parasite.”

...and so of course anyone should have known that when he lost his CPAC speaking engagement, his book deal, his job at Breitbart and his Twitter account, he would take to Facebook and write, "I AM A VICTIM OF CHILD ABUSE" and expect to be forgiven.

This is part of the Out feature:

“What I love about Milo is he is such a hard worker,” Bannon says. “Milo has such a big heart that even people he disagrees with, he can get along with. That’s why I think that he’s going to have real longevity.”

When it was published, most people probably did not know who Steve Bannon was yet. Of course, Bannon was in charge of Breitbart and Bannon hired the article's writer, who seemed so desperately enamored with Milo, to write for Breitbart within a couple of months of the story's publication.

The alt-right debacle of the past four years has been a real test of integrity and a lesson on how to destroy communities from within.

--

In an email to TheWrap, Out Magazine editor-in-chief Aaron Hicklin said, “Naturally, we anticipated a negative reaction, but I hope readers will recognize that the strength of our profile lies in the diligent way Chadwick Moore interrogates his subject.”

by Anonymousreply 161December 14, 2020 10:02 AM

Hicklin has repeatedly defended his editorial decision-making on Twitter and in interviews. He gave one such interview to Fusion on Thursday, calling the article "a great top-notch profile piece."

"I do think there’s a bit of a double standard when it comes to LGBT media, and I think that’s disappointing," Hicklin said. "I think we’re seeing that because we’re LGBT, we’re almost seen as having a kind of LGBT mission, rather than a journalistic mission. Our mission first and foremost is always journalistic. It’s a great, top-notch profile piece. I think the writer clearly critiques Milo and lets Milo — though he lets Milo speak for himself — I think in a profile, it really is about the subject damning themselves. It’s not about having an opinionated piece."

--

Meanwhile, the writer, Chadwick Moore "came out" as an alt-right white supremacist after the article was published, and appeared on Fox News, in Breitbart and Infowars, the totally nuts precursor to the QAnon cult movement.

So in the end, the question is whether Aaron Hicklin was so ignorant and personally prejudiced as to have actually read Moore's gratuitous flattery of Yiannopoulos as "diligent" journalism, or whether someone got a big fat check from the Mercers, whom we now know underwrote Milo's entire short-lived career to turn alt-right hatred and conspiracy mongering into a virus.

R159 / R160 Ann Coulter is a vile opportunist, too, but she has proved to be savvier than Milo Yiannopoulos is. She was overtly hateful to Muslims before hate was trendy. She took advantage of whatever grotesque relationship she has with Bill Maher to grow her fan base through his television shows. Milo capitalized on the kind of nonchalant hatred she sowed the seeds of in pop culture, and she hopped onto the Milo bandwagon and rose that zeitgeist to university speaking tours, etc. He was underwritten by the Mercers (Is she?) and at the time, people regarded her as a desperate has-been who rode Milo's coattails. But after Milo crashed and burned, she continues to be a staple poster monster for the worst of conservatives and her horrible comments still make it into mainstream news now and then, ensuring she is remembered, where Milo has been all but erased from the general memory. Like any talented opportunist, she knew when to associate herself with Maher and with Milo and when to abandon them and do her own thing.

[quote] (Her first book on Clinton was published in 1998 and it made the NYT's best seller list - albeit by being bought up by conservative groups as free give aways, as is common for right-wing books).

That's a standard publishing business model. Anyone who has a platform, and particularly one with speaking appearances, can easily secure a book deal. I work for a national association and my CEO was sought after to write a book not because of ideas but because of sales: the publisher expected the association to buy hundreds of copies to give away or sell at our conference, and encouraged us to encourage other organizations at which the CEO speaks to do the same. It's a marketing scheme. And it's one reason why it's so easy to make money once you have money. If you have connections that land you a high-profile job, then you get offers to write books, etc. The publisher--only if you have a high profile--pays for you to go on TV and other places to promote the book, and that lends you assumed credibility. That leads to better and more offers and on and on.

My dad was confused and offended when he learned Joe Biden is a multimillionaire because he always heard that Joe is so down to Earth. When he learned Biden became rich during a career as a politician, he assumed that the wealth came from corruption. It didn't. It came from book deals and speaking engagements.

There are 535 members of US Congess and we only know the names of a handful because they are familiar TV personalities and/or because they say extreme, outlandish things. When we hear that congresspeople make relatively modest incomes, a lot of us are surprised. But what is not really discussed is that once a member of Congress (or anyone else) becomes a household name, they inevitably will become wealthy through publishing and speaking engagements. The publisher offers a lot of money to the person, assigns a ghost writer to interview the person, publishes the book. The person promotes the book and gains greater currency as an author, which is interpreted by most to mean intellectual or scholar. The publisher will help to coordinate well-paid speaking appearances via a speakers bureau like Leading Authorities, for which the person is paid $15,000 to $500,000 depending on their level of fame, for a 50-minute speaking engagement followed by a book sale and signing. It's a cash cow.

This is how career public servant Joe Biden ended up with a $7 million net worth. In his case it's not through corruption but through money being thrown at him.

Meanwhile, the Clintons' net worth is $240 million, and Bill Clinton was paid $34 million solely for writing (or "writing"?) memoirs. Most of the money is from speaking engagements. Hillary Clinton commanded $200,000 per 50-minute convention speech after she left office as secretary of state. I don't begrudge the Clintons or anyone else taking advantage of these offers--who wouldn't?--but one thing Clinton has done that has really made me dislike her is insist all these years that "Bill and I were broke when we left the White House. We were in debt from litigation!" and expect public sympathy, when it was 100 percent certain that her husband would get a quarter to a half million dollars per hour-long speech after leaving office and they'd be multimillionaires within a year or two. I'm one of the people who voted for Hillary Clinton but did not like or particularly trust her because of disingenuous and self-pitying comments like this one.

Had Milo's book deal gone through, he not only would have made $250,000 off of it, but he would have made millions off of combined book sales and speaking engagements, more book deals and more speaking engagements that would spread his hatred virally. This is why authors abandoned Simon & Schuster in protest when they signed Milo.

R184 It's not a Hillary hate fest. I don't hate her. I voted for her. I just don't particularly like her, and I mentioned that because a significant aspect of my dislike is understanding how book sales and speaking engagements reliably generate cash for people in her position, which she also knows but pretended not to know.

I've consistedly criticized some aspects of her, such as her hawkishness, and consistently lauded other aspects, most significantly her bold and blatant warnings that Trump is "wittingly or unwittingly Putin's puppet." She was right about that, and she warned us all about it and sadly was a Cassandra, with few people taking her admonitions seriously until it was too late.

by Anonymousreply 190December 17, 2020 11:26 AM

R186, this is a thread about Milo. You've now written several paragraphs on why you personally hate Hillary Clinton. That's pretty much proving my point: you're trying to turn this into an anti-Hillary thread, plus bring up Biden's wealth and why people don't trust it.

Don't insult my intelligence with "but I voted for Hillary" or "but I explained Joe wasn't corrupt." You introduced the idea of Biden potentially being corrupt and included an anecdote about your dad being upset about his potential corruption. You introduced the topic of Hillary Clinton and wrote several paragraphs about how she's awful.

None of that is germane to your point. You said something pretty basic -- people with platforms have an easier time getting publishing contracts -- and tacked on a bunch of unrelated anti-Democratic stuff on top, in a thread about a rightwing piece of shit propagandist, who you for some reason have hardly even mentioned at all.

by Anonymousreply 191December 17, 2020 11:30 AM

R191 Holy shit, dude. Everything I wrote was meant to be supporting evidence to demonstrate how people make money from publishing and related speaking engagements, and how we dodged a bullet with Milo's self-undoing.

I'm not going to go on at length here about how I've aggressively spoken out here, in my personal life and in published writing against Trump, including citing Clinton's warnings about Trump's affinities for Putin. But I did write the preceding sentence to demonstrate that I am an independently thinking person, and to make my case that if this country is ever going to revert to any kind of balanced and rational sanity, then we will need the discernment to be able to identify strengths and weaknesses within individuals and stop seeing elected officials as all good or all evil. For fuck's sake, grow up. I am not crusading against Hillary Clinton, I am not a stealth Trumpster or Republican or any other accusations you plan to hurl. I'm a very liberal-leaning person who has always been politically independent with a little i on principle, because I vote for people's ideas and characters and not their party colors. I just finally registered as a Democrat because the Republican party is now a cult and I can't even rationalize in my mind any excuse for ever voting for a non-Democrat again--but I am telling you, if you always bark accusations of evildoing into the faces of every person who dares to criticize any aspects of heroes you worship the way Trump's followers worship him, then you are certain to drive some people deeply into cults like Milo's and Trump's. Try a little tolerance, and try not to see everything in black and white. If Biden is successful in restoring some sanity and pulling us out of this national near-death experience, people like you are going to have to learn to discuss and debate without making accusations or else you're going to drag us back to where we have been for the past four years. All people who hold different or grayer opinions than yours are not here to vacuum up souls for Satan. Chill out.

It's just interesting that from all the examples he could pick it was Liberals and not Conservatives. Yeah, nothing to see here at all.

by Anonymousreply 193December 17, 2020 11:57 AM

R193 Because I don't follow conservatives' careers, because I don't respect what they have to say.

However, yes, the same obviously applies. Fox News personalities and household-name-brand Republicans get the same types of book deals and I'm sure they command similar speaking fees.

When Milo got his deal, which I protested to Simon & Schuster, I looked into it and learned that the S&S deal was through a publishing imprint that caters to Republican hate speech. Threshold Editions publishes Tucker Carlson, Bill O'Reilly, Newt Gingrich, Ben Shapiro, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and, yes, Donald Trump, and yes, it's the same business arrangement for them: big money for a book because they have a platform through which to sell it, and then bigger money to talk about the book and to sell it at conferences. It looks from their website as if they've published little over the past few years. Maybe Viacom has found a social conscience?

Why did I mention Biden and the Clintons? Because I voted for two of them (I was too young to vote for Bill when he was president.), I admire them overall and I have followed their careers and so they were top of mind. I went off on the tangent in the first place to mention my recent exchange with my father, who was appalled at how rich "average Joe Biden" is, to describe how relatively non-corrupt elected officials easily become wealthy from publishing and speaking deals. I wouldn't have thought to use a Republican as an example because I can't believe any of them are not corrupt, and I don't know details of their incomes because I have never been involved with hiring any Republican as a speaker. Am I bothered to hear Hillary Clinton make a plea for sympathy based on a claim she was "broke" after Bill's presidency? Yes, because it's disingenuous and cynical and patronizing, and I like a lot about her politics otherwise and that makes me resent a part of her, which is disappointing. Would I be bothered to hear Trump make a plea for sympathy? I'm bothered by everything he says because everything he says is grotesque, and so I am not likewise disappointed by his words. I have the lowest expectations and zero admiration for him and most other Republicans.

The country in question squandered its chances and the only reason I got interested in politics in the first place will soon be imprisoned or dead. So I’m moving on.

I’m not going anywhere, of course. But I’ll be talking about the things I really care about—Christianity, women, race, culture, literature, Mel Gibson and so on. But it’s time to say farewell to absolute garbage of politics.
