This hit on Milo didn't come from the left.Sure they have jumped all over it as a chance to shut him down
This came from the establishment RNC
Milo served his purpose and keynote speaker at CPAC was just one step too far for them
Saw this on FB - not sure if it's legit, but wouldn't surprise me:

He's a con man on to a good game.

http://observer.com/2017/02/i-helpe...aybook-you-should-stop-playing-right-into-it/

If it was just about being an antagonist he'd release his book for free.

There is no high ground he is staking out. There is no public service. It is about making money.

I really don't know why people would purchase his book, I doubt he has ideas worth reading. He needs to speak as his character is the entertaining part.

Like most comedians he is there for money, but I think he has done a service by exposing the extreme left as violent, which will be handy for the greater left to become more reasonable and win back support lost in between the last elections.

Why does this line keep getting trotted out? Any time some ******* bigot is called out for being a ******* and a bigot, we have people saying "Now I don't agree with everything he says, but you have to admire how he exposed the left as violent".
Trump, Spencer, Bolt, and now apparently Milo.

You can't bang on about how violent 'the left' is, and then praise someone for 'exposing' it every time some societal skidmark gets their feelings hurt.
which will be handy for the greater left to become more reasonable and win back support lost in between the last elections.
And it's always followed by a line like the above as well.
As if these refugee hating, Muslim bashing, dingbats who grind their teeth if they even hear the word 'feminism', actually give a shit about anything positive happening to "the left".

While also ignoring the fact that Trump didn't win because the world is rebelling against 'the left' and 'do gooders' or anything like that. The world is reacting to fear mongering the same way it always has and always will.

1. Create an 'other' (Not you or me... someone other than us).
2. Turn that other into a boogeyman.
3. Drill the fear of that boogeyman into everyone constantly.
4. Repeat the mantra "If you're not with us you're with the boogyman".
5. Simultaneously act the victim and the hero.
6. Let the world know that you and your ideals are the only thing that can keep them safe.
7. Repeat steps 4 - 6 for years while using anything that happens that can be embellished to loosely back up your stance. (if nothing available just make it up).

The "extreme left"? The ones who have always been derided as hippies and rent a crowds, rioters and troublemakers?

Maoism, Soviet communism? Both authoritarian left. Authoritarianism is where the violence comes from and where fascists got their reputations, which is why I am first and foremost libertarian because I am anti-violence. Currently the left is leaning more authoritarian than I am comfortable with, which I why I am taking a hiatus and supporting rights not the right.

But he has convinced a whole bunch of idiots that he does have something to say.

So it's the extreme left you're against? Or anything of the left?

I'm a bit confused what you're worried about?

Because life is nuanced, 50 shades of grey isn't just a shitty book. Do you agree with animal rights and conservation efforts? Congratulations you and Hitler share a common ground. You can like elements of shitty people.

Yes I can, because parties aren't intrinsically stagnant. In the late 1800's early 1900's the political parties switch platforms. The Democrats switched being socially conservative and became progressive and the right vice versa.

Both sides are capable of incredible violence. Left: Maoists and Communists Right: Fascists and Nazi's. Like I said in the above posts generally when they adopt authoritarianism as a modus operandi.

Like I said as well, I am atheist, pro-drug, pro-gay marriage, pro choice, pro-immigration but also pro-free speech they are all based in the rights of the individual which is a traditionally liberal perspective. So I have invested interest in liberals becoming more moderate because I think the current extremism will only scare people away.

You could do that same project and replace with alt-rights, propagating and over inflating Nazi's.

You completely missed my point. And made an insane counter point...

Again, missing the point.
How can 'the left' being violent keep being this new thing that no one is aware of, exposed at last... time after time?
"I'm not a Trump supporter but you have to respect that he has finally exposed the left as violent"
"I don't know who Spencer is but I do appreciate someone has finally exposed the violence of the left"

Praising someone for 'exposing the violence' of a made up label that is applied to a random collection of people based on the false binary that the world is only a 'right' or 'left'.

They are being excused and praised for a made up reason.

False equivalence.

I think the extreme left is influencing the greater left through universities where a lot of professors teach Marxist ideologies. https://www.academia.org/self-ident...utnumber-conservatives-as-college-professors/

Two things have worried me recently; the extreme left is ignoring nuance/context in order to label people negatively and the increased justification for violence. (black lives matter riots which eventuted in the killing of 5 police officers, the inauguration day and Berkeley riots)

I'll use the example of Muslims, aggressive and insulting behavior towards them conditions them to be radicalized easier. Now I'd say the same is true of conservatives. In the process of labeling them Nazi's and then causing violence towards them, will radicalize them and solidify racist and bigoted ideas. After all people are mostly influenced by their personally experiences.

What is this???
Is this a news site or some random's blog?
What did you take from that link that gave you any real understanding about universities, and who is teaching Marxist ideologies???

I'll be honest with you. I think a Muslim family fleeing Syria, arriving in a country, and being told they are terrorists and should **** off, might have a better position to claim victim than come conservatives getting called names...

Follow the link and watch the video? What makes a random journalist more trustworthy than a bunch of professors talking about their studies? Why is one more valid than another.

What about a conservative who lost a friend or family member to a terrorist attack or does context only apply to your false equivalences?

The links to other partisan speculation?
Groups that think anything left of Thatcher is Marxism gone mad, get together and talk about how Marxism is taking over American Colleges. This guy does a short blog about it and links to their 'article'.
What did you get from it? What research did you do on top of just reading that, that let you know that "the extreme left is influencing the greater left through universities where a lot of professors teach Marxist ideologies"

Accountability. Did these studies get peer reviewed? Or even published anywhere outside of Republican think tank sites?

What about them? Why would they blame 'the left'?

Its only anecdotal evidence from current day, but I found a study (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.147.6141&rep=rep1&type=pdf) from 2006 that said it was about 3% and 17% in social sciences.



Based on the levels of activism and extreme left ideology in the recent years I'd suggest it's likely to be more prevalent today.

What about them? Why would they blame 'the left'?
I wasn't saying they would, I was saying they have the right to feel victimized by a desire to import people who share the same ideologies of those who have killed their loved ones and then to be told chin it or they are racists. Fear is universal, regardless of your right to victim hood, behavior thresholds don't care about your background

Point was valid. It isn't a justification for shit things, someone being wrong doesn't remove validation for something else they've done well.

Again, missing the point.

Because there are always new acolytes, people who join a cause not knowing the history and behavior of them.

False binary yes, more of quaternary, left/right along with authoritarian/libertarian. But I do enjoy someone noticing some nuance.

Who sold you this trash? ideology is where violence comes from. As well as various injustices served up to individuals, which often(but not always) stems from ideology

Ideology? The most dangerous individuals are those that think their actions are not informed by it.
