    The first time I saw him was this:



    Which the internet tells me was before he worked for Breitbart. Evidently his career had primarily consisted of being a journalist for The Catholic Herald before that. Hmm...

    Cool. Given silence indicates assent, your position on Yiannopolous' claim that being raped is good for boys is...?

    Looks like a troll feeding on the soft edge of feminism, I mean there's plenty of material there but its hardly the cutting edge of political brilliance. He certainly wasn't blacklisted for that, it made him rich and famous. I definitely agree with you the end came with his rape comments, I don't think his hate-baiting politics brought him down.

    Well done OP though, six pages about a nonentity. If this a troll its top tier.

    A quote taken out of context. Kinda the same thing retarded liberal media tried with Trump over and over during the electoral campaign with the ''grab them by the pussy'' video, which fortunately didn't impress anyone and resulted in a well deserved kick in the teeth for the media that pushed it.

    ...there's a context where stating that being raped is good for boys makes it OK?

    Except, the context of Milo's comments (foul language, beware) shows us that he talked about how good it can be for a 13 year old to have a relationship with a 28 year old. He ends his comments on pointing out that thanks to his priest at childhood he's good at oral sex. By all means, he was trying to normalize what is essentially pedophilia.

    Big news:
    Advocates of deplatforming are getting a kick in the teeth by the free markets and getting deplatformed themselves, because nobody reads their crappy content anymore.
    https://www.economist.com/business/2...-of-its-lustre

    Thoroughly deserved. Hopefully they all go bankrupt, lose their jobs and end up on the streets.

    Also, Patreon had deplatformed Sargon of Akkad for calling white supremacist n-word on another platform, thus not violating any of their rules. Considering there's large evidence that Patreon users use the n-word on the platform but don't get banned, Sam Harris, 15th top fundraiser on the platform is leaving, citing arbitrary and politically biased enforcement of the rules. Dave Rubin and Jordan Peterson are also considering quitting.

    Good, this goes in the direction of what I was advocating, cut all the ties with this people. Ultimately, they make money off consumers that they hate. No more. We need to split societies and these insane psychopaths get their safe space a la North Korea, no trade, no economic activity whatsoever, walled out, nukes aimed.

    You posted the same context using a different article in your opening post. 5 days later you try to pass it on as if it's a development. Did you not read your own opening post? Are you deflecting from your other failing arguments?

    Freedom of speech is only okay if it's his side doing it. He did the same thing in a thread he started about about PC supposedly killing comedy.

    His article basically just talks about Vox Media, Vice, and Buzzfeed which apparently have captured only less than 1% of the internet-advertising market. This is in comparison to Google and Facebook who captured most of the internet-advertising market.

    Google and Facebook are the biggest de-platformers there are. Don't tell Basil that though, i don't think he actually read his source like usual.

    Sargon got banned. Boo hoo. He used a racial slur and thus Patreon doesn't want to be associated with him. Considering the amount of people who use Patreon i don't think Sam Harris leaving is going to affect anything.

    Hey, comedians say it. Not me. Besides, it's not my fault if liberal comedians are NPCs: ''orange man bad'' ah ah ah. What a grey world you guy want to build.

    And Facebook is increasingly relying on Instagram. You know, the website that I know best for, half-naked Instagram "influencers" and ridiculously risque cosplayers. All good with me though. Hopefully people stop reading Facebook for actual news in general.

    Yeah, Instagram, were empowered liberal women sell themselves to Gulf royals to do scat and camel sex.
