Probably the best article I’ve read on Milo and why he doesn’t appeal to me. As I’ve said for over a year, like Andrew Sullivan, America (and its licentiousness) has been very bad for Milo.
It’s always great to go back to the roots of conservatism when so many people need a reminder of what we believe and why. It’s too bad that a fad of exhibitionism and vileness has been given a safe space for a phony form of conservatism.
Milo is a troll. I heard some of you say, “but he is our troll.” Which is true. Normally he is saying things we agree with. But he says lots of things that we don’t like. Many of them are style issues. But sometimes he goes to places we are not going to follow.
I personally don’t like when he calls people stupid. Its a childish charge that normally means that he has run out of ammunition. Instead of explaining why someone is wrong, he just calls them ignorant.
But conservatives need to be careful. We always seem to back people who say the right things. Even though Milo admits that he will do anything. And he will say anything. Its ok to defend his rights to say anything. But we should realize that its only free speech that unite us and Milo. None of us could spend 24 hours with him. And he could easily defend lots of things that we don’t agree with. Free speech is a two edged sword.
However what has happened to Milo, has been felt by women, blacks, gay, and Hispanics that espouse a conservative point of view. The left attacked Kellyanne, and did everything they could to separate Trump from the CBC. Its very important to the left, to make sure that conservatives big tent only has white males in it. They cannot allow any of their traditional groups to have any conservative spokesmen. That is the real reason why we should feel bad for Milo. We allowed the lefty wolves to cut out a member of our herd that was unique to our kind. So we will have a hard time getting and keeping a foothold when they are able to kill those who might appeal to those who are not white straight males.
This guy has it upside down. The reign of terror at the universities is being run by the leftists and the administrators not Milo.
No Milo is not perfect, but there’s been no one else on our side that has been anywhere near as effective in taking on that reign of terror.
And I don’t see none of the sanctimonious, holier than thou, critics here fighting the cultural terrorists on campus.
I remind everyone that during WWII we allied ourselves with the Soviets.
Milo uses shock therapy and uses it very effectively to bring the conservative message to young people.
The reality is that moral chains must be applied from within. Applied externally results in resistance as to why one must apply those moral chains themselves. Realization that moral chains are as much for their personal benefit as the are the benefit of society as a whole must be realized by the individual.
