For those that don't know..........................

This particular faggot likes to deflect from his obvious racism by going off on rants about how much he likes black dick n/h

Scust. Literally the gay version of one of those cacs.

I was about to ask who the guy they're protesting is but then I saw hes2 some kind of flaming racist.

I just hate they didn't get ahold of the guy

He is preaching hate.

So fuck him

Good. Fuck that bitch. Idk why he took his conservative ass to liberal ass Berkeley anyway

Gee and here I was thinking an open exchange of ideas instead of living in echo chambers was a good thing.

I dont need to hear an exchange of ideas from someone that hates me

So here we have claims he's a (obvious) racist, preaches hates, and hates black folk? Honest question: can you support those claims?

Never heard of him until this thread.

"Peaceful protest" more fuel for trump

And that's the point that unbelievably continues to fly over everyone's head, imo The worst of this anti-Trump movement only gives the whole movement a bad name and potentially drives "allies" away and drives "enemies" further towards Trump.

Do people still not understand that these kinds of actions helped get him elected in the first place? Yiannopoulos went from having relatively little publicity to now having a nationwide audience as a result of the media attention he's now getting. Are we still not aware of the Streisand effect?

Good. Fuck that bitch. Idk why he took his conservative ass to liberal ass Berkeley anyway

Simply put, he doesn't need a reason. His reason or politics should be irrelevant.

Berkeley mastered the Art of protest 40, 50 years ago..

Is that not ironic though? Berkeley births the Free Speech Movement only to censor free speech a half century later. Is that not a hypocritical problem? Or are we OK with double standards?

Good. Fuck that bitch. Idk why he took his conservative ass to liberal ass Berkeley anyway

Gee and here I was thinking an open exchange of ideas instead of living in echo chambers was a good thing.

I thought so too. Either I've slipped into the twilight zone and people are steady losing their minds over Trump, or I just never got the memo that free speech is un-American.

@"Will Munny" damn it must be so hard being white. I know youre having a tough time adjusting using the same facilities as minorities.

I hate using the term "retards" but uneducated people are the worst sometimes.

Milo is not a scholar and should not be invited to University's to speak to scholars and learners. What does he bring to the discussion? Whatever far-right group decided it was a good idea to bring this obvious provocateur to campus needs to be checked and balanced.

I'm not excusing the riots, but Milo and his sponsors got what they came there for.

hilarious how white people get mad at protesters, when they are the reason people are protesting in the first place

 

[(Nope)]

Also this dickhead Milo started his Troll career on the Daily Stormer (a known neo nazi and white supremacist website) and has incited his Twitter followers to go after jewish, female, and black twitter users. All of which has been deleted because he was banned from Twitter.

He can say whatever he wants, but there's consequences. So save all that chastising and 'poor milo, show me proof that he's a racist ' shit. It's intellectually dishonest.

hey, just because you voted for Trump, doesnt make you racist! Neither does posting on white supremacist sites, being told by a Judge that youre too racist, or having discrimination suits filed against you.

 

[Will Munny]

I think Milo is gay in the same way people on here think zombie is black. I think he's probably not even gay it's just part of his self promotion to make him seem like less of a right wing schill.

Hol up' are you saying Milo is Zombie?

To flip those of who are feeble minded and can possibly/easilybe influenced. Kinda (but not exactly) how they (swayed) did with Remy in "Higher Learning".....

Yea cuz that's really what he was hoping for. You know better, william.

Do you have any racist quotes from him even? I listened to two podcasts with him on the JRE and while I don't align with him politically he said nothing to riot over and nothing racist.

I reaaaalllly hate using terms like "snowflake" but college kids are the worst sometimes.

I'm not on social media nor do I follow him so I can't/won't up and post his shit. But I've seen articles of his over the years (he's an editor or something for breitbart....foh) where I can see why a student at Berkeley (or many) don't want him using their school and reputation for his bullshit.

They're not censoring him. They're not trying to kill him or end his career they just don't want him at their school. Why do those students HAVE to have somebody speak that fundamentally goes against a large portion of that population?

 

[semi-auto-mato]

smh...the "dangerous faggot" aka mr. I'm so bored with being gay aka the creator of the white male privilege scholarship got ran outta UC Berkeley and now his breitbart Daddy (yeah that's what he calls trump) is threatening to pull funds. this nigga is not even a US citizen but they want to protect his free speech. Yeah well Mexicans across this country need to start booking halls and speaking they minds. The Dangerous Illegal speaking tour and trump better protect their free speech.

right

just based off his association with the alt right, and the way he attacks rand paul and other conservatives for participating in minority outreach initiatives and for advocating criminal justice reform he doesn't think very highly of blk ppl..or at least wants his followers to believe that is true

I understand the Breitbart association, cause Breaitbart is trash, but him speaking there has nothing to do with the schools reputation.

And ummm... rioting is definitely censoring him. You say they aren't trying to kill him, but if you don't think a mob would have fucked milo up you're crazy (I know that would make people happy but I'm one of those rare people that doesn't like violence and thing dialogue should be responded to with dialogue".

They could just NOT go to his speech, or protest peacefully. Rioting is just childish. By making it a big deal, they draw more attention to him and give him an even bigger platform. It's entirely counter-intuitive.

The strongest point AGAINST him speaking is the fact that he's not a scholar, and is basically a real life troll. I'm not at all Milo fan, but I am an absolutist when it comes to free speech and I don't like the precident this sets.

Breitbart is an inherently racist site that he is an editor for, but I'd like to see an actual quote from Milo himself that is even covertly racist. It can't be that hard for someone to find.

Milo is not a scholar and should not be invited to University's to speak to scholars and learners.

I don't understand. Are you saying that one has to be a scholar to be invited to a university? If so, that obviously isn't true. All kinds of people (including poets and simply writers in general) can be invited by all kinds of people (including student organizations) at the university. Is this not obvious? That's what makes universities great, imo. That's what defines universities, imo: the exchange of ideas, regardless of whether you disagree or agree with those ideas. This is a central tenet of American (classical) liberalism.

What does he bring to the discussion?

Ideas to oppose and/or advocate. And that's good enough.

Whatever far-right group decided it was a good idea to bring this obvious provocateur to campus needs to be checked and balanced.

Honest question: Do you know that a far-right group decided to invite him? Or are you assuming this? I believe any group should be able to invite anyone. That's the whole point of intellectual freedom. However, I do believe it's up to whatever (private) university officials to make the ultimate decision on whether to accept the invitee.

I'm not excusing the riots, but Milo and his sponsors got what they came there for.

Perhaps. But if that's the case, then doesn't that mean that he played them? Like I said, he now has a national audience, which he didn't have before the riots. It just seems obvious to me that rioting wasn't the mature, productive, and reasonable response.
