Iâll purchase a copy when I run out of toilet paper. Just ignore this idiot, maybe he will go away. As far as his big advance? Heâs not the one who got fooledâŚ
Iâm sure Milo would be pleased that youâre willing to take his work up the ass.
âYiannopoulos writes for Breitbart News, considered by many a platform
for the so-called âalt-rightâ movement, an offshoot of conservatism that
mixes racism, white nationalism and populism.â
No, Mr. Pisani, âalt-rightâ is a deceptive term that seeks to obscure the fact that it represents Neo-Nazis, White supremacists, KKKâs, and other bigoted, racist,and fascist fellow travelers. Yiannopoulos, Breitbart and similar dregs of society seek to destroy everything America stands for. By all means, let their drivel be printed, but please do not sugar-coat it by softening their dangerous message as merely an alternative philosophy. The Germans made that mistake some eighty years ago. Please let us not repeat it.
At last!- a gay Ann Coulter for our time! Sex sells, but hate sells more these days.
Of course they are, this is going to make them big moneyâŚMiloâs readers will scoop these up the moment they are on sale, regardless of reviews or the fact twisting inside. This is the big thing we need to realize about the publishers: they are not in it for facts, they are in it for money, facts be damned, and sadly thatâs how the news media is being pointed as well.
i would like the name of a liberal/progressive who the right considers a âprovocateur.ââŚand NOT an anti semite (anyoneâŚwho criticizes israel)âŚor a racist (any black person who speaks out about racism)âŚetcâŚ
and frankly i am tired of the self promoters who like this openly gay man can only flourish by attacking the very people (liberals/progressives)âŚwho have created the societal changes that are allowing him to flourish.
there just never seems to be ENOUGH of this stuffâŚfor the true believers.
I canât be bothered to care. Let him have his say and his $250,000. Heâs just exposing himself before more and more people. Letâs hear it all.
Simon & Schuster said Friday that it does not condone discrimination or hate speech and said the book, which is titled âDangerous,â is about free speech.
But anyhowâŚthere is no such thing as free speech. Itâs freedom of speech and at last check, one has to be either very careful or very clever when using that right.
I really like the way you put that. Speech isnât free, youâre right. I like that a lot.
Iâd be more okay with the whole âlet him publish because free speechâ bit, but folks like him seem so damn desirous of stripping away the freedoms of everyone else when theyâre given the chance.
I donât see any reason to ban books here. But we need to be alert to what is being advocated within.
Protesting the decision by SS to publish the trollâs book for profit is speech, whether the protest is in the form of boycotts, letters, demonstrations, or other actions. There is nothing unsavory or hypocritical about letting the publisher hear what we think about their decision.
Its clearly a new generation thatâs reaping the benefits of what others had to go through, but I love how some folks forget that rappers caught a lot of heat for doing stuff that people blasted em over.
Then there is the Dixie Chicks and all they did was lose career years from that Maines comment.
Yep. Plenty of liberals have paid the price for speaking freely but we donât go around whining about being victimized. The rightwing on the other hand, threw the entire country out the window because they donât think they should have to pay a price for saying the N word any old time they feel like it.
n thatâs another thing about âits free speechâ
Race n gender sometimes (yes iâm hedgingâŚsomewhat) play a part in what folks can say/get away with.
Now Hanneman is unfortunately dead, but Kerry King has to jump up nearly every other week and tell folks that the song wasnât really an embrace of really anything.
Now with that saidâŚIce T, Naz, N.W.A and P.E should get financial cuts of those who came after em.
n letâs not get started on this guyâŚ
Now âfree speechâ got him to the mountaintop, but the moment when the fact checkers started saying âwait a minute hereâ, all of a suddenâŚâI didnât mean it like that.â
Iâm not.
At last check, harassment isnât protected speech.
and thatâs something that S-n-S has to address, because this rewarding is a bad idea.
Eminem should get royalties every time someone uses free speech. Heâs gone out of his way to exercise his to the fullest and even when Iâve disagreed with what he was saying I was still listening.
Nas is god.
O I donât believe that free speech means that anyone at all has to pay you for it, publish it or even sit still and listen to it for any reason.
I agree with you @blandsten, Milo has all the freedom he wants to say whatever the fuck he wants to say but nobody has any rights to have that heard, published or be paid for it.
