...Since you admire his stance so much, have you confronted any fat people recently? You know, gotten right up in their face as he advocates?

Not my thing, and I think it’s largely a put on. You sound very sensitive about it. I believe it’s to outrage the left, to combat the Trigglypuff “body image fanatics”. I just see the guy as a net plus, and I think I recognize political theater when I see it. If you disagree, you disagree.
I knew, of course, that one of you would suspect I’m ‘sensitive.’ No. I’m slim. Always have been.
But I loathe personal remarks - especially when doled out by Brits who have no understanding of Americans and think everything cruel that comes out of their posh mouths will be interpreted as amusing. The late great Christopher Hitchens wrote very eloquently at the end of his life at how he finally came to understand that Americans didn’t lack irony - they simply were too polite to acknowledge British loutishness.
Of course, I knew you wouldn’t be fat-shaming anyone. It’s dangerous, it’s cruel and takes enormous guts as well as stupidity. And if it’s a put-on, it plays right into my idea that Milo doesn’t do it himself - just encourages others to do it on his behalf.
I would do a simple google - something like “Gays hate fat people” and see what comes up. It’s fairly educational if the only gay guy you ever met was Mr. Rogers on television.
