Well, Milo's opinion won't matter as much now that he has resigned from Breitbart News.

He's positioning it as a noble gesture, of course, because making apologies would be anathema to his very being... but if the leaks from yesterday are true, it was really a case of getting the boot. Either he left or multiple staffers left.

Who will the alt-right fanatics turn to as their next idol now ? It doesn't take much to fill the role. Any sociopath with a twitter account is qualified to do their thinking for them.

Its funny to see the left trigger over this when they were praising shows like "Queer as Folk" for dealing with such issues over a decade ago.

All the while they harbor actual pedophiles.

I also find it weird that 0roo0roo posts stuff that calls one person out for being a paedo, but when Milo is being called out on his pro-paedo shit, 0roo0roo's focus is that Milo's being smeared.

I guess 0roo0roo is being 0roo0roo.

A propaganda minion just has to do what a propaganda minion has to do. And he does.

I'd say Jeffery Dalmer, but his being dead would make for a boring rally.

Milo was simply telling the truth.

If I post an article about how one black kid was brainwashed into being a gang member that it's the 'truth' for all black kids?

I'm gay. Was not molested as a child. Please stop with the false equivalence.

The catholic church proved another thing: Thousands upon thousands of boys who were molested ended up mostly straight.

Milo purposely calls attention to negative gay stereotypes for the same reason that some minority conservatives call attention to negative minority stereotypes, it gives them some cachet with the movement for validating conservative beliefs.

In the same vein, conservatives in general are making a decision right now whether courting the alt-reich vote is worth the baggage of people like Milo. They're generally obliged to protect those on the further right no matter what, but there's the practical matter of throwing themselves under the bus too many times for any individual.

The fool really thought he belonged in the conservative movement that wears its homophobia on its sleeve. Real life Clayton Bigsby.

Watching the news today, I just realized something... This is a HUGE victory for Milo. Cable news has been running clips from his talks, interviews and staged protests non stop for 48 hours straight. He just hit mainstream.

As I said earlier, without the Breitbart organization behind him, he's going to quickly burn out. It takes a lot of work to produce that content. Lots of people needing to be paid.

This depends on what audience you're talking about. With virtuous people, willful association with pedophilia is a net negative in spite of publicity, but with trump conservatives as we've seen there's no such thing as negative publicity, mostly because they'll probably think of pedophilia as a positive if daddy does it.

Hate to be one of those "please read" types, but this is a thoughtful look at both Milo's fall from grace this week as well as an inside look at his staff during the ill-fated Berkeley lecture:

On the Milo Bus With the Lost Boys of America’s New Right

And be sure to read through to the end if you're going to look, even if you're on Milo's side... it shows aspects of him that you may not be familiar with, since the writer knows him outside of his on-the-record media presence. It's more nuanced than you might think.

Surprise, his entourage is primarily barely-adult-age men. No, not for that, it's that they're classic Milo supporters: young, immature, intellectually wounded guys who see this almost as a game and haven't really had to face consequences for their actions. And Milo's downfall isn't because of the left, it's because the right was willing to tolerate a gay advocate for its causes up until he seemed to validate their prejudices (the truth, of course, is more complex).
