@phoneboy disclaimer: i'm from the liberal 'left' and I find this BS going off topic stuff annoying. their examination of this issue is tangential
@phoneboy well, I think they will- certainly I've already seen articles- but naturally you'd get more from the alt-right because Maher is 'the enemy' and is 'a hypocrite'.
it's more worrying to me that the liberal left is by proxy excusing Milo's pro-paedo arguments by claiming it's republican hypocrisy to focus on that and not the bigotry. the predictable response from those quarters will also be that it's hypocritical to focus on Bill Maher's old statements. It isn't, but…
Listening to the radio claim that botox is amaaaazing and that endometriosis is stigmatised
So the liberal left POV in the media about Milo is that him getting dumped over the paedo comments is an example of right wing hypocrisy about freedom of speech because they didn't dump him earlier over bigoted speech. But this doesn't sit right with me at all.
Firstly I guess, not all Republicans or conservatives or right wing are bigoted, and there was quite a but of dissent about having such close ties with the alt right, Milo speaking at CPAC, etc.
I mean, I agree that no one should have given such as hateful person such legitimacy, but, well, Trump. And the far right/alt-right and their supporters ARE largely bigoted - though the reasons why and how to change that are certainly a matter for debate.
Child sex abuse is considered abhorrent and is a gigantic, probably the biggest, taboo in Western society across all political lines. That this was the straw that broke the camel's back is completely unsurprising.
Child sex abuse IS abhorrent, although people of course have different responses to the aftermath. Saying that getting rid of him is a sign that they don't like gays makes no sense to me. The same thing would happen if Bannon started going on about older men and young girls being a positive experience for 13 year old girls.
If anything they should be at least applauded for finally getting rid of that parasite.
@matigo haha i think inadvertently. I basically think that some of the leaders of this movement are basically like cult leaders. most of their followers though are horrified by paedophilia
My weird theory is that the alt-right has embedded within it a child/adolescent sex abuse ring - Milo Y and James ashby are perfect examples.
Had to escalate a major issue about patient care to my boss. I hope that all goes ok and nothing turns into a disaster as a result.
