Milo’s Audience Grows Immediately After Violent Protests
The Huffington Post ^ | February 3, 2017 | Chris Soria

Posted on 02/03/2017 8:17:18 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Milo is a troll. This is not just my interpretation of him, he calls himself a troll. And, like all trolls, his goal is to make others angry with his words. Like all trolls, he “feeds” off of negative energy. Every time the left reacts to him negatively (or becomes triggered as Milo would say) he wins. The left is feeding the troll, and you should never feed the trolls.

He wins especially when “the left” (speaking generally here) reacts with violence like it did during his scheduled appearance at UC Berkeley. Milo likes to paint liberals, specifically college students and professors, as being “intolerant” and even “fascistic” towards free speech. He likes to claim that the left is so easily “triggered” and politically correct that it has lost its ability to reason. He argues, that instead of trying to defeat his speech with speech, the left likes to respond with trying to shut down his speech.

This is a “win-win” situation Milo is setting up for himself. If we, on the left, attempt to shut down his speech, he gets to continue making his point that the left is “intolerant” of free speech. If we allow him to give his speech, unchallenged, he gets to go on spreading his moronic ideas. But, if we respond violently, he wins big time. Just look at how much attention he’s gained because of the recent violent protests at UC Berkeley....

It’s just funny because they can’t help themselves in exposing what extremists they truly are.

“If we allow him to give his speech, unchallenged, he gets to go on spreading his moronic ideas.”

If Milo is such an idiot, how come the left are so afraid of him? Let him speak his “moronic ideas” and people will soon tire of him.

I reject his life choices as immoral and filthy. Don’t care if he is a Fake MAGA gay — i mean guy.

They keep proving him true. Now, he is not the first person to be shut down by the left, but I can’t think of anyone who has put it to better use. Political Jujutsu.

Milo likes to paint liberals, specifically college students and professors, as being “intolerant” and even “fascistic” towards free speech.

This is in fact confirmed by the commentator's next statement:

If we allow him to give his speech, unchallenged, he gets to go on spreading his moronic ideas.

They did the same thing to Ann Coulter many times

The author is correct that the protests are only going to make Milo even more popular. However, Milo doesn’t have “moronic” ideas. I don’t agree with everything he stands for, but he’s a great champion of constitutional rights.

Yes. His life choices are immoral and filthy. That doesn’t mean we can’t embrace his positive, healthy ideas about liberty. Hate the sin. Love the sinner.

The tide has turned—the Left had its day and that day is done. The tide of public opinion in the west is going away from internationalism—be it World Socialism, pan-Islam, or NATO or European Union and UN—It is being—Trumped by Nationalism and patriotism. They are fighting tooth and nail to hold onto power—but their time has past. Look to see the Nations of Europe break up EU, America to abandon Multiculturalism, and a new world will be born—better? Perhaps—but the Old Liberalville failed—we can step back and see what new order comes forward— a new imperialism perhaps?

True enough, but Ann’s not a flaming gay jew so they can’t play the fake fascist card on him. He’s holding damn near every Trump card in the SJW pinochle deck. Kryptonite. Totally untouchable. This is jedi-level trolling. The stuning of beebers is hugh and series.

If Milo was never born, we would need to genetically engineer him in a lab. The perfect weapon to combat the cultural marxist campus mafia. Some SJW faculty member’s head is exploding as we speak. He’s not taking pawns. He’s taking their knights, rooks, and bishops off the board.

Bwahahahahahaha!

Milo is the antidote to cultural marxism! It is working! Milo is handsome, hip, very intelligent, funny and so fashionable! He presents the issues and facts in such a way that causes young adults to listen to him!

And that is why the batpoop crazy leftist Democrats hate him, because Milo is causing people to move right politically.

I hadn't heard Milo talk before, but after listening to him in this video clip, I understand how he drives Liberals crazy: https://youtu.be/5xjfqi6utxk 😏

You should hear his pro-life talk! Once you get over being offended by his gay jokes and profanity, he is very profound. It’s like the “click bait” and the young people are tuned in and they really hear the issue.

The left isn’t objecting to Milo because he is wrong in his assertions about them - the left is going bananas because Milo is right.

He’s flushing them out, and making them show their true colors.
Then we turn Alinsky back on them.
•RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
And when it really goes hot, then I would say take it beyond ridicule.

“The left isn’t objecting to Milo because he is wrong in his assertions about them - the left is going bananas because Milo is right.”

It is because he is the anti-thesis of what a Jewish, homosexual immigrant is supposed to be to the Left.

The author of this Huffington Post article revealed themselves as totally brain dead with the last sentence in the article.

They proposed the solution to the "Milo" issue was to have him debate the leftist "experts" on the topics he discusses!

There are two major problems with that proposal:

(1) Milo will mop the floor with the leftist "experts".

(2) The debate will need an army of security to protect Milo against physical attacks from rabid leftists.

Milo has shown a bright light on leftist hypocrisy, and that is a good thing.

All the leftists can do in response is the three monkey routine, covering their eyes and ears and pretending that intolerance and hatred is not an integral part of their belief system.

Anyone who has an IQ above room temperature and whose salary is not dependent on kissing the rear ends of leftist bosses will figure out the leftist scam.
