He’s right. I don’t understand the rush to make Milo the poster boy for conservatism. Virtue signalling to the left (Look we can have gays make out onstage AND be a conservative! We aren’t homophobic!) accomplishes nothing.

Nobody made Milo anything, besides Milo. This is just another Low T cuck trying to kick a guy while he’s down because the cuck is jealous of Milo’s charisma and fan base. Nothing more.

I agree with you.

When we ape the liberal culture, we’re showing a desperation to be accepted by the Left. That never ever happens.

“To thine own self be true; then thou can’t be false to any man.”

No true words were spoken by the Bard. For me, this is the essence of conservatism, the defense of timeless and eternal values in the face of a rapidly changing world.

I do not accept what it considers legitimate and I defend what it deems illegitimate.

“He’s right. I don’t understand the rush to make Milo the poster boy for conservatism.”

He’s the “poster boy” for actual pushback.

That is why campus conservatives invited him.

Like what else are we putting out there? Limbaugh never leaves his house, Levin doesn’t really connect with younger people, and sounds too much like a old crank.

People like Milo, Crowder, Trump as well as a whole host of people on popular YouTube channels that don’t fit the 1986 trope of a conservative, but actually manages to openly fight the left, from the right, at great personal cost to them, are the ones that the younger set are flocking to.

Even Ben Shaprio is managing to break out a bit.

Folks want people that fight, even if they are rough around the edges.

Milo’s not a poster boy for conservatives. He is however a great weapon against the left. If want to continue winning we need to punish our enemies and not attack our allies at the media’s bidding.

None of what you said is accurate. He was never a poster-boy, he was actually taking the fight to the left. None of his support had anything to do with virtue-signaling, it was substance based.

Have you ever watched any of Milo's speeches?

If you think he’s right give me an example of alt right racists and anti semites

You do understand Bannon is on record calling Breitbart the mouthpiece of the alt right

What Cal the Pious is doing is colluding with the left to degrade the actual conservative groundswell that bucked the establishment GOPe and so called conservatives

Which is why Trump avoided CPAC last year

They were mostly never Trump

Alt Right was what made Trump possible

It sure as hell wasnt CPAC

You are wholly ignorant of what Milo did

Your paragraph says that well enough

Milo fights like few do....that was what made him in endearing in a world of pussy conservatives a poofter showed more balls than doctrinaire pinheads in their belway orbit

It had not a damn thing to do with homo tolerance

It was his courage
