Worth it to see two black guys tell him to fuck off

Milo Yiannopoulos is Going on Real Time with Bill Maher

They should have slapped him in the mouth then it would have been worth it for me. I'll even settle for a glass of room temperature water being lobbed in his face.
Why? Because he failed upward astronomically with this guest? People are talking, but little of it is favorable. There is no irony to be had here since we've done a far better job at challenging Milo's stage time than he ever even attempted. Milo's platform is getting the exposure that Bill allowed. Unchallenged outside of these discussions. Mission accomplished then?
Milo has been gaining publicity by talking about how the response to his "ideas" has been violence. What happened at Berkeley shocked people and increased his following.
And you suggest that the proper response to him from a panel of TV liberals is... assault?
Good strategy you've got there.
People have been told to "fuck off" this week and last week as well. This could be a trend.

Well, there is the fact that protests seem to be giving Milo the name recognition that he wants, while the things they're protesting are also giving him the recognition that he wants.
The absolute ideal is that he doesn't get any recognition from anyone, but getting the recognition from college campuses to speak might have been as far as he ever goes, if the protests never happened. Now he's on TV again because of those protests, on a segment that's going viral because of people hating the segment.
It's a weird loop I'm not sure how to stop. It's not like people should be happy that he'd only be speaking at college campuses while doxing individuals on twitter for harassment without the protests.
But still good enough that I don't believe Milo would have seen him as a platform.
With Milo allowed to swat away questions he could be challenged upon and frame the conversation as a debate about free speech it really needed someone willing to stay on track rather than go for appeasement.
Someone should really buy Maher a beginner's guide to Socrates. Turn Milo's logic around and relate it to his own audience. Hell, he shouldn't be allowed in the men's bathroom by his own logic

Woah, please don't post so much information, you overwhelmed me with your facts and stance.
I just watched an 11 minute segment and....
My fucking god he's a big-ass queen who's doing nothing more than trying to get attention. Everything he said was literally nothing but "LOOK AT ME I'M THE DEVIL!"
He's like Ann Coulter - he's there to do nothing else than piss you off by saying the absolutely most ridiculous thing you can think of. Literally.
I don't believe (have faith in) in people, as a general rule, but I firmly believe that only outliers agree and believe what he says is true. I truly do not believe any rational person believes or agrees with him.
Oh one other thing, the boy is campy as fuck. He gives Rocky Horror Picture Show a run for it's money in the camp department.

I don't think there was much for Bill to fire back on. Had Milo come out swinging, Maher for sure would've fired back at an equal force. Bill stated that he disagrees with many of the points Milo has made in the past. Milo says he loves free speech, and Maher agreed. . Maher going on a non-cordial attack wouldn't have been proper discourse.
Idk, the only part that really bothered me was in Overtime when Milo made some snarky comment about transgender folk and Bill more or less agreed with him. I could've sworn Maher was smarter and more progressive than that unless I missed something.
What exactly else has Milo said which is so controversial? I'm out of the loop, and don't follow him much.

Reposting, because people need to understand that the bold is not true, and that precisely the reason that fucks like Milo are so dangerous is because a shockingly large number of people already believe the same shit he does, or are poised to believe it:
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/20/us/politics/transgender-public-bathroom-poll.html
It is not at all a "small percentage of people" who would be susceptible to a bullshit sex crime statistic. Milo's shit is dangerous because there's a large group of people out there poised to believe it and give it power.
Milo is not a joke.

Maher is not progressive and has never been progressive. He's an "anti-PC" jackoff and a know-it-all, that's it. He made one documentary attacking religion and everyone assumes he's an ultra-liberal instead of the edgelord with a cable TV contract that he actually is.
No one should be surprised at what happened here. It's exactly what I and many others in this thread said would happen because we know how this bullshit works. Milo says some garbage unsubstantiated and false thing about how trans people are sexual predators and instead of shutting him down or asking for proof, Bill just kinda shrugs and lets him say it. It's total fuckery and Bill was not acting in good faith in this exchange.

Thanks for reaffirming that I really should hate the general public even more.
Most progressives have no idea what they are anyway.

Yep. Maher is in the same category as Richard "Picked a fight with a Muslim kid" Dawkins.
Also, it's kind of dismaying how many times I talk to people about Milo where the conversation ends with "Oh, I didn't realize that he doxed a trans person the last time he was on stage." Like, I just wish people cared about being educated on a subject as much as they do talking about it.

The absolute worst part is that this dude is British and he's here in America stirring the pot and lighting gas fires.
Fucking our shit up and he ain't even a citizen.
Pardon me if he is a US citizen. Overtime made it seem like he wasn't

He really isn't, but he kind of is. That's a good call.
This isn't currently the truth. Absolutely was for a decade.
He's not.

There's probably plenty of examples throughout this thread, but literally off the top of my head:
- His directed harassment on of individuals on twitter over gamergate and other people to the point he was banned from twitter
- His numerous "political correctness" defenses of specifically the "alt-right", a political movement that self identifies as white nationalist, which in practice means white supremacist, and even Trump has lightly denounced.
- His go to argument of white supremacist "statistics" lies about minority crime or jewish run banks based to justify white people being afraid and hateful of minorities as a default.
- His stated campaign to get his followers to out undocumented students at Berkley.
The guy is undoubtedly scary for minorites and trans people. Far more so than the typical conservative. If we're making the calculation to argue the point down instead of suppressing it, it absolutely needs to be treated as something far greater than just another conservative vs liberal argument, and called out for what it is.
Why?

Given the GAF shitposting I see on Reddit, and YouTube, and GameFAQs, and IGN, and 4chan, and, well, virtually every forum out there, a LOT of people.
He isn't relevant for the most part lately. He also doesn't come across as a modern liberal.
I hope you realize that I don't give a fuck about any of that. If I catch milo in the streets I'm slapping the shit out of him and I wouldn't chastise anyone for doing the same.

"Oh do you like how I ''''''misgendered'''''' that trans person? I did it on purpose because FUCK I'm edgy."
He deserves a swift kick in the ass if for no other reason than statements like this. What a fucking tool.

Wait a fucking second Milo doesn't even have US citizenship? I figured he had gotten one at some point.
Pretty bull shit he gets his rocks off doing nothing but instigating fights involving our citizens and our government and he isn't even a citizen himself.

Most of what is practically our state-media now is owned by an australian.
exactly. if people are rallied to his cause because he provokes violence, they weren't worth the effort to begin with and they'll face a reckoning too.

that's why it's dangerous to give these kinds of people any sort of platform
not that Maher cares about any of that, because he probably agrees with Milo on more than he disagrees...

Strategically it seems like a poor idea, given how his whole career is practically made out of presenting himself as the victim.
But realistically, I could not blame anyone for doing that.
He doesn't.
No one has the ideological purity to shoulder such responsibility, according to the 'progressives' I'm reading here.
I would actually like to hear a serious response to this. Because apparently if someone doesn't hold every single value you do, they're a 'fake progressive edgelord'.
Wow. This veers so far into the deep end that you actually end up back in shallow water. Completely ridiculous.
Wouldn't know that from this interview...

Being happy with the outcome is one thing, justifying the methods is another.
You can't justify political violence, because one person's political beliefs is not inherently better than another one's. Who decides whose beliefs are the ones worth assaulting people over? You can't have a functioning society like that and I find people justifying the violence as upsetting as the violence itself. Anyway, the guy's gone now.
No. From the entire episode and knowing Maher's rhetoric you would.
Bill is such a fucking jobber. Milo walked all over on him on his own god damn show and by the end Bill is almost trying to impress the guy. "Those damn stupid liberals, fuck them, right, Milo? I can't believe they didn't want you on my show. Haha!"
Wait to go and prove everyone's fucking point. Milo is an outstanding orator and Bill is a pushover. Results as expected.

it's almost as if society isn't functioning and we're on the verge of a violent pushback against a fascist regime. and maybe the guy who supports that fascist regime and would engage in genocide or at least actively cheer it on should be punched down into the dirt before it gets to that. maybe.

is this what horseshoe theory is????
While I think there's room for debate on tactics and the ethics of such tactics when resisting against the far-right.
I think this thing bolded is intellectually dishonest, do you really think a political belief that advocates the genocide and oppression of minorities is something that's not inherently worse than others?
You just stated HBO has an alt-right program.
There isn't one, and if there was, we would destroy them because he/she failed the purity test.
