We are all eagerly (?) awaiting these great points....
I'll post some videos, won't transcribe for you though.

Cool comments about his book bruh.
Now on to what I actually said... he makes some great points in his debates I've watched, really hammers feminists and left of common sense liberals. The over reactive left doesn't know how to handle him, he doesn't fit into their compartmentalized partisan stereotypes. He's well spoken and a good debater. The fact that the left practically riots when he is going to visit their safe space campus is very telling. Anything that threatens their totalitarian bubble is attacked viciously.
You shouldn't have to transcribe a video if it's making a good point and you understand it. You should be able to articulate it yourself.I'll post some videos, won't transcribe for you though.
Free speech is freedom from government restrictions on speech, not freedom from private sanctions on speech.
If anything, being angry about twitter and university reactions to his shiftiness is an attack on free speech.
Milo made comments which sounded quite supportive of pedophilia. This evidently did not end his popularity among conservatives. But then again, we already know the two aren't incompatible.
I wonder if you remember Slate's writeup "I'm a pedophile, but not a monster" which it removed in the wake of Milo's comments.
We get hung up on this child abuse stuff…
This is one of the reasons why I hate the left, the one size fits all policing of culture, this arbitrary and oppressive idea of consent.
I’m grateful for Father Michael [a Catholic priest Milo claims to have had sex with as a teenager]. I wouldn’t give nearly such good head if it wasn’t for him.
Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody who is 13 years old and sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty, who do not have functioning sex organs yet, who have not gone through puberty.
In the gay world, some of the most important enriching, and incredibly life-affirming, important, shaping relationships are between younger boys and older men. They can be hugely positive experiences very often for those young boys.
And he was disinvited from CPAC, lost his book deal, and resigned from Breitbart over these comments.
I'm no fan of his. I'm a big fan of his arch-enemy, Ben Shapiro.

Which is great. The problem is that he retains a following among conservatives. His book sold 18K copies in the first week, which isn't bad considering it is self-published. I guaranty you it isn't liberals buying this book. We have conservatives on this very forum touting this book.
Gnash your teeth and let loose the cries of victimhood!I don't agree with Shapiro in all areas, but he is another one that is fantastic in debates and makes great points. He also has been unfairly labeled by the left.
Shapiro is merely a reversion to the veiled bigotry conservative archetype that existed pre-Trump. I think you can do better.I'm no fan of his. I'm a big fan of his arch-enemy, Ben Shapiro.
You started that trail, buddy. That was you. Do you not remember?I could continue down the whataboutism trail, but instead I'll just say Milo's despicable, and we can thank him and the alt-right for their being lumped in with conservatism.

FTFYI don't agree with Shapiro in all areas, but he is another one that is fantastic in debates and makes great points. He also has been unfairly labeled by the words out of his own mouth.
Your framing of it was that you were led down that trail. You didn't apologize for starting it, which would have been a clear indication of your recognition of what you had done, but I super appreciate you acknowledging your rhetorical failing.No shit! You're kidding!
Could that possibly be why I said, "I could continue down that trail, but I'll stop"?

Get better.
Believe me, I genuinely was in search of solid conservative intellectualism in the Breitbart era, but Ben Shapiro is not it. I'd encourage you to give The Cool Kid's Philosopher in Current Affairs with an open mind and think that over (I subscribe to the magazine and it skewers Democrats probably more than it does Republicans).Elaborate.

So you're saying you have nothing...I'll post some videos, won't transcribe for you though.
Quite a bit out of personal interest (I was dating someone who went to law school with him and she had opinions) but it's fallen off in the last few months. If you think I should revisit I'll give it a try, but I tend to find these pseudo-intellectuals who really just fall back on the apparently always okay to mouth opinion of "brown people are scum" really tiresome.How much do you follow Shapiro presently?
