Ryan Holiday calls Merkel a “personal hero.”

This is completely utter garbage.

This is a leftist’s strategy. It doesn’t work for the right.

This guy is completely brain-dead.

It only worked for him because his message was a leftist message being censored, and all that fake outrage was targeted towards leftists.

Conservatives and the alt-right tend to be calmer, less prone to violence, less prone to protesting and less prone to having to see something because of controversy.

This guy obviously has a good understanding of how the media, entertainment and advertising businesses work for the LEFT. But not the right. These businesses are already out-right hostile to any right message already. But the “alt-right” aren’t up in arms about it. But we should be.

I was interviewed for the Trevor Noah show.

A friend (who gave me some tips, and was also interviewed) said that we would not be allowed on the show, because we were too effective, knowledgeable, and articulate.

Neither of us was invited after the interviews.

He gets some things right, for the wrong reasons.

He claims the left is the vast majority. They are not. They are the minority.

The reason his strategy can work is because of the censorship of the left. This is a way to turn that strategy against itself.

If he were correct, Trump would never have been elected, and the Republicans would not hold the House and Senate, and 3/4 of all state legislative bodies.

I think Trump was decades ahead of both Milo and this whiner. The Art of the Deal explains you need to be notorious to get tons of free media. And Trump actually acted on this advice successfully throughout his life.

No comparison to the ‘Progressive’ agenda or the Communist manifesto.

Yes, it IS "utte3r garbage" and the world didn't begin the day he was born. This kind of thing has been used for an extremely long time; longer ago, than when his great,great grandfather was but a twinkle in his great, great, great grandfather's eye! The whole "BANNED IN BOSTON" comes readily to mind.

Also, Milo was MILO, whilst still in London, and nobody here had ever heard of him!

And just HOW "successful" was he, when all is said and done? NOT ALL THAT MUCH, SINCE I'VE NEVER HEARD OF TUCKER WHOMEVER AND DON'T KNOW ANYONE, EVEN MY FRIENDS WHO LIVE IN CHICAGO AND THEIR KIDS, HAVE EITHER !

SPOT ON!

Isn't Trever Noah the mulatto from RSA, who was a comic there and who knows NOTHING at all about America?

Sounds like a typical Obamaland elitist.

Satire in America today is to find some hick out in the hinterlands with marbles in his mouth and present him as representative of all right wing views.

Satire used to attack the entrenched establishment, now it exists to defend it.

>> Holiday: Regain the moral high ground

Never in my lifetime has the Left held the moral high ground. The Left is definitively a horde of degenerates committed to control and violence. And it has now become the Democrat Thug Party. Stay prepared.

“Ryan Holiday is the best-selling author...” If he says so. Using injury, riots and intimidation to sell books is unethical.

After reading this.. just this.. Why would we believe a single thing written in it ?

A good movie.. “How to get a head in advertising” will set you straight. This article is lie-inception.
