After some looking into, I've decided to change my mind about Milo. While never liking the guy, I did defend him, not only here but on another board. My defense consisted of simply trying to explain that, while he was apparently an asshole, and a creep, he was not a fascist.

I tried and I tried, looking for articles written by him, not just about him. And I watched several interviews and videos, listening to him as he went about explaining his views.

I always assume someone is telling the truth until and unless I have good reason to suspect them of lying. In most of his talk he sounded to me like a typical libertarian, but one with a patently reckless, egotistical, and purposefully self-destructive candor. He wanted to be viewed as a brilliant but dangerous rake, and he succeeded in spades.

I decided to just assume that he dissembles and puts on a show, rather than being a forthright human being. Considering what he's done to himself, he's got no reason whatsoever to complain about being tossed out of a bar.

As to whether he's a fascist or not: perhaps he is, but lacks the courage to admit it.

He advocates for limited government. Quite the opposite of fascist.

Yes, I know. So he says. That's why I used the word 'dissembles".

But what about this:

In October 2017, leaked emails revealed that Yiannopoulos had repeatedly solicited neo-Nazi and white supremacist figures on the alt-right for feedback and story ideas in his work for the website Breitbart. The leaked emails also showed that his book, Dangerous, and many of his Breitbart articles were ghost-written by a Breitbart colleague.[6]

Not to mention his very creepy comments, in that infamous radio interview, with reference to his sexual improprieties.
 
Born as Milo Hanrahan,[10] Yiannopoulos was born and raised in Kent, England.[11][10] His father, Nicolas Hanrahan[citation needed], is of half-Greek and half-Irish descent. His mother, who is British, is of Jewish descent.[12][13][14] Yiannopoulos claims his father wanted to divorce his mother while she was pregnant with him; however, his parents remained together for six more years before divorcing.[13] He described his biological father as "terrifying", remarking at one point, "I would think, if my dad is just a doorman, why do we have such a nice house? Then I saw it on The Sopranos".[13] His biological father moved after the divorce to St Ives, in Cornwall, where he settled with his new Jamaican wife.

Considering the above, while it doesn't absolve him of his behavior, it certainly does a great deal to explain it.

Has anyone about read any of those great 19C novels by Henry James, George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans), etc? It looks to me like Milo was brought up in a Henry Jamesian nightmare. A tyrannical father, abusive stepfather, all the works.

Fuck high society. I'm glad I was raised in a trailer park. Sure, the same kind of evil things happened, but at least the kids could run out and play, raise hell, get dirty, catch frogs, while trying to absorb and deal with the trauma dealt to them by their parents or siblings. It looks to me like the children of the haughty-taughties had, and have, far less liberty, and there's all that nonsense about behaving according to one's class.
 
I think his problem is he's a troll. People often don't know what really is in a troll's head. Is he a fascist sympathizer and pro-pedophilia for realz? I don't think it matters because he's trolling. He even took part in scams to pretend his rights were being violated after trolling, i.e. double trolling. I wouldn't doubt if he sought a bar having a socialist meet up just to troll them and then complain about being kicked out. He may have even insulted drunk men's mothers and talked about pedophilia along the way.

This is it exactly. Milo only wants to get attention for Milo, and he doesn't really care how. His message isn't, and doesn't have to be consistent, it just has to get him noticed.

He is a SJW. He is pretty much the definition of the term. The only thing we know he wants is attention.

We had a thread a while back about SJW. There are pretty much two definitions. The one I refer to is the person who uses social justice issues to promote themselves, with no care about social justice issues. It is a mocking type of label.
