re: If Milo is dead, it doesn't matter

People care so much about personalities, and very little about principles which make up political ideals. Same thing happens in churches with people following leaders rather than their faith. None of them probably started out that way, but they do end up doing the same thing every time. Its just easier that way I guess. I don't know. I guess we really are just a herd when you get down to it.

That's actually a pretty succinct summation of it.

People who are comedians first tend to get more of a pass, but regardless she has never been a liberal commentator.

she jumped into that role after the Lafayette shooting when she became a huge gun control advocate

after THAT is when her off color jokes from her past became a big deal

And I still don't know where y'all are pulling Roman Polanski from. I don't know or care what Meryl's views on him are.

Meryl Streep was just the big example b/c she talked about standing up to bullies and promoting progressive values blah blah while giving a standing ovation to the sex predator in her past (along with tons of Hollywood elite). Hollywood defends and supports RP even though he's an admitted, convicted child rapist. Milo's career seems to be dying in a day as a victim of sexual abuse who made comments about man-boy relationships, while RP is still making movies supported by Hollywood after admitting to drugging and raping a 13 year old girl

he's "left of center" in a libertarian/classical liberal way that almost all posters on here agree with

Almost all posters here are cheerleading an administration which makes ups its own facts and appears so far to be more authoritarian than any we've seen in modern times, so I don't really know what this board stands for anymore.

you can claim it's not "mainstream liberalism" because that's a vague label but it's clearly the values of the current DEM party

Defending marginalized groups from discrimination has been part of liberalism for decades. If you feel that's gone too far in some places that's fine, and I wouldn't even disagree with that, but this idea that it's all liberalism represents in 2017 is myopic at best, intellectually dishonest at worst.

Maybe, but your posts don't actually come off as independent thinking with your usual points falling in line with the other side of corporate media. Of course, maybe we all fall for it, but pretending you're unique is a bit self-serving.

quote:

How can a side that preaches that there is no objective truth and that people can be whatever they imagine in their minds be against any perversion that comes down the line?

Are you on acid right now?

quote:

---

the progs believe in silencing possible opposition to these beliefs and promoting marginalized groups based on their identities

That's your interpretation, and to be fair I think that's true of the fringe. But what you're doing is basically blaming Mon Mothma for the sins of Saw Gerrera

I agree wholeheartedly

On the one hand I agree, but on the other, the messenger has always mattered, too. Fortunately, Milo is so little-known to the public at large that it really is more about the ideas.
