Milo Yiannopoulos Deflects Himself into a Wall

So I think that by now we all know who Milo Yiannopoulos is and what he is about. He was a writer for the conservative spinning website called Breitbart and apparently views things by the conservative viewpoint. What some people don't understand is that he is merely a professional troll that makes self loathing jokes about inappropriate topics to get a rise out of people. I don't even think he is really a conservative and I don't 100% even think that he is gay either. I think he just has a schtick and runs with it. Milo is what you get if Sasha Baron Cohen just played the character of Bruno for the rest of his life.

Recently I have criticized him for his handling of a scholarship that he set up. The scholarship was for impoverished white kids to get into college. I actually thought it was a good idea for a scholarship because you have ones for all other ethnicities and races of students, but not one for white males. However, we all know it was bullsh*t because he was merely pocketing the money he got into his own personal account, so no students received scholarship money, which makes him an extremely dishonest person.

Milo has scheduled many lectures and one in which he met a lot of hostility was at the University of California Berkeley. At the college, students protested and anarchists rioted. This caused people to blame liberals for hampering free speech, which some of them are, but what people don't understand is that anarchists are not necessarily partisan. While they protested Milo and Trump, they also protested Obama many times, so you have no idea that the anarchists are even liberals. I don't agree with the people who are rioting, but the guy has proven many times that he is a troll, so why should they want him to talk there anyways?

Fast forward to just this weekend where it was found out that Milo made a joke about pedophilia on the Amazing Atheist's Drunken Peasants. After hearing about it all of the liberals started jumping for joy because they hate him and in response he lost his book deal and resigned from Breitbart. According to the audio, he had sex with a priest when he was 13 or 14 years old and joked that "I wouldn't give nearly such good head if it hadn't been for him (Father Michael)." He added that he thinks that teenagers as young as 13 should be allowed to consent to sex if they are comfortable and mature enough. That my friends right there is agreeing with pedophilia and it is absolutely disgusting. Again, I don't really believe that he is an advocate for pedophilia, he just said something because he thought he was being cheeky, but he was dead wrong.

In response, the conservatives always have to deflect and their target was Lena Dunham and Milo's target was George Takei, two prominent liberal celebrities that bashed Donald Trump throughout the election. After I saw this meme on Facebook by the laughable excuse of a Facebook page called "God Emperor Trump"
I noticed that conservatives were trying to deflect on Lena Dunham, a celebrity that helped out on Hillary Clinton campaign. According to this meme, I can only conclude that Lena Dunham is a worse person than Milo because she "molested" her little sister and the liberals ignore her, but they loath Milo even though he was raped as a child. Okay, so what if you claim that she molested her sister? I am not saying that what she did wasn't bad, but what I am saying is that what he said also isn't good. 

I could have stopped there and thought to myself "wow, Lena Dunham is a disgusting person", but I am not a partisan person and I actually did my research. While all of the dummies in the comment section were making up lies like "Lena stuck her finger in her sister's vagina multiple times until she turned 17 and she enjoyed it," which can be proven false by merely looking at the source material. According to Dunham:

One day, as I sat in our driveway in Long Island playing with blocks and buckets, my curiosity got the best of me, Grace was sitting up, babbling and smiling, and I leaned down between her legs and carefully spread open her vagina. She didn't resist and when I saw what was inside I shrieked.

My mother came running. "Mama, Mama! Grace has something in there!"

My mother didn't bother asking why I had opened Grace's vagina. This was within the spectrum of things I did. She just got on her knees and looked for herself. It quickly became apparent that Grace had stuffed six or seven pebbles in there. My mother removed them patiently while Grace cackled, thrilled that her prank had been a success. 

I know that it was all taken completely out of context in order to unfairly deflect. So we can tell by that she was seven years old and her sister was a toddler. Now do I condone her touching her sister? No. Do I think it is horrible that she did it? Yes I do actually. However, she was seven years old, she was curious and she obviously didn't mean any harm. You see, context is really important when handling people who don't feel like doing the research. However, it doesn't stop there. After I was able to debunk what they were saying, they immediately stretched another situation that Dunham had with her younger sister when she was 17 years old. They claimed that Dunham had touched her sister in her private area in an inappropriate way. I actually read a quote from the book and it said something along the lines of her sister slept a few times in the same place as Dunham and while the sister was sleeping, Lena would watch TV and put her finger down her own legs and go to town on herself. 

The closest that I can find that makes her look anything like a molester was when she said "As she grew, I took to bribing her for her time and affection: one dollar in quarters if I could do her makeup like a "motorcycle chick." Three pieces of candy if I could kiss her on the lips for five seconds. Whatever she wanted to watch on TV if she just "relax on me." Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl I was trying." Now I know what you might be saying, what a disgusting thing to do with your sister! And I completely agree, it is disturbing, but it doesn't make her a child molester or a rapist like this silly Facebook page claims with this meme. It puts things up for interpretation, but it doesn't make her any more than a creepy girl that did way too much experimenting with her sexuality to the negative impact of her own sister. 

But here is the question, how does the sister feel? Does she feel like she was the victim of rape or sexual assault by her sister? After her sister got slammed by conservatives, she came out on twitter and responded by saying "heteronormativity deems certain behaviours harmful, and others "normal"; the state and media are always invested in maintaining that... As a queer person: i'm committed to people narrating their own experiences, determining for themselves what has and has not been harmful... 2day, like every other day, is a good day to think about how we police the sexualities of young women, queer and trans people." So as you can see, she basically has stood by her sister and does not feel like she was ever raped or molested by her sister. She does however commend her sister for being honest about her experience. I see no way in which Dunham ever in her book boasted about anything even though I do feel like what she depicted in her book was kind of sickening, seeing as though I never did any of those things to my siblings. 

Of course when I was commenting on this thread on the Facebook page and debunked many of the claims made by the people posting on it, I was called an SJW, a "cuck" and basically every name in the small library of a dictionary that these Milo supporters had in their heads when they get backed into a corner. To me it was not only expected, but also extremely cute because I know that when I am disagreeing with people, I make sure that I act like a big boy and use adult words to prove my points instead of insulting others with ad hominem attacks. But again, this is what you can expect from conservative trolls on the internet (notice I don't group them in with regular conservatives because I know the difference between the two). 

However, the fun didn't stop there, no no, Milo couldn't just leave the story be and merely apologize, he had to go out and deflect off of another liberal advocate, the famous George Takei. Now George Takei is an openly gay former actor known for being spontaneous and fabulous with his famous tag-line "oh my..." Takei unfortunately became a victim of an attack by Milo when he posted on his website a video of George Takei "Defending Child Molestation". He then shows a video of Takei on the "Howard Stern Show", discussing Takei's first sexual encounter. The following is a quote from the conversation between Takei, Stern and Robin Quivers where he discussed how a summer camp counselor initiated sexual contact with Takei at summer camp. To make a long story short, Takei thought "it was both wonderful and scary and kind of intimidating, and delightful. I mean, all those opposites."

You look at that and you think to yourself, that isn't defending child molestation, that is merely a guy reliving his first sexual experience. Sure he was too young to have it and sure he was raped or molested by someone who took advantage of him, but again, Milo fails yet again. Now here is the thing, I don't know if he was being serious, but if he is, he merely did a great job of taking things out of context in order to attack a person that had a similar thing that happened to himself. However, instead of bragging about it and saying that "he taught me how to give good head," Takei merely talks about his experience. Saying that it was delightful isn't bragging about an experience, he just claims that it felt good to him. Again, he also claims that it was scary and intimidating, which is nothing close to what Milo said at all. In the end, Milo can claim that what he did was not that bad, he and his trolling supporters can claim that other people have said and done worse things, but it doesn't diminish his message. A message where he declared that it was okay to have sex with adolescent children as long as they consent. So if you agree, I guess that makes you exactly what Milo is, a child molester sympathizer.

President Trump Loses Track of Reality

It has seriously been a very interesting few weeks since President Donald Trump was inaugurated in mid to late January. Since then someone was fired, then someone else was hired, they did something illegal and they were fired, then the president accused the media of lying and then he and the people that worked for him exaggerated and lied. Finally, he had a few press conferences where he pumped himself up and claimed that he had great ratings, while at the same time vehemently calling certain media outlets "fake news". Let me also mention that many of his laughable executive orders, like his temporary Muslim ban and his wall have been met with clear opposition by the people and the courts, which the President has whined about, showing he wasn't paying attention in 12th grade civics.

Let me clear the air, one thing that I feel like he did that was good was the whole deportation of illegal immigrants and those who were gang members and criminals. However, even that can be criticized because Obama deported those same illegal immigrants and they came creeping back into the country. Hopefully he can make a system that would stop illegal immigrants from coming into this country, but in order to do that, he would have to force businesses to stop hiring them, which goes completely against capitalism. Right now there is a demand for cheap, manual labor that our citizens do not want to take part in. We know from Georgia and Alabama that when these people were deported, their state economies plummeted because their citizens didn't want to pick fruits and vegetables for laughable wages. Knowing that Donald Trump isn't smart enough to realize this, I don't think that this problem will be solved.

What is the funniest thing to me throughout this first month of his presidency is the fact that he is either the smartest politician in the world or he is the dumbest man in the world. I think in many cases it is somewhere in between, but he hasn't done himself any favors. His temporary Muslim ban has proven to be one of the biggest executive order fails that I have ever seen. I know that a supporter of his would say "well, he is doing this to make the country safer because the Muslim immigrants and refugees from these countries are national security risks!" It would take just a few seconds for someone to look up the fact that the people that he has banned have never been responsible for a terrorist attack in this country's history and the people he hasn't banned are responsible for every Muslim terrorist attack in this nation's history. Donald Trump is now pursuing this in the courts because the courts have denied his executive order. Now While I don't believe he is racist, I do think he is completely clueless.

This hasn't stopped Donald from ignoring the terrorist attacks that have been caused by white people and people of other ethnicities and religions. This country has had a storied history of non Muslims attacking schools, colleges, government buildings, movie theaters, churches, and planned parenthoods in the past. I wonder why our president isn't trying to outlaw everyone from coming into this country? It is because it wouldn't go on well with his supporters if he did in fact do that or that he doesn't think white people can cause terrorist attacks. I mean the guy angrily tweets about a radical Islamic terrorist in France that was wielding a knife that didn't kill anyone, but coincidentally forgot to mention, or didn't know at all that a white nationalist that supported him shot up a mosque in Quebec and killed six people. I don't think he is aware of what happened because he didn't know that it actually happened. He watches Fox News all the time and they falsely reported that it was done by a Moroccan Nationalist and didn't apologize for three days.

But the fun doesn't stop there, he is currently going to a rampage against the media, or at least the members of the media that criticize him. And instead of ignoring them like he should be, he gets so butt hurt that his reactions come off as those from a petulant child. Now here is the thing, the media is wrong a lot and while sometimes people claim that they lie, including the president. However, when you look at the outlets that he supports like Fox News, Breitbart, and Info Wars, you can tell that the three of these lie or are wrong all the time, so you know exactly why he claims MSNBC and CNN are "fake news" to Donald Trump. The reason why Donald doesn't like them is because they have criticized him and they have called him out on his BS. And while they are not 100% factual themselves, the president, who claims that he never lies, has lied many, many times. From claiming that his victory is the best since Reagan, that what General Flynn has done was not illegal, and finally that his inaugural crowd size was really, really big.

Now I am not going to go into these topics, because they have been easily debunked by people whose jobs are to debunk Donald Trump. From what I have seen and from what he has shown, he has been extremely incompetent. Members of his own administration have been leaking information about how he is in meetings and some of the things that he has said and it hasn't been impressive. And here is how I know that President Trump is at the pinnacle of hypocrisy, with all of the leaks that have been coming out about him, he is no longer cheering them on like he was when Hillary was getting leaked, he has been getting very upset. He has plead that it is unfair that these leaks have been coming out about him when he was perfectly okay with things being leaked about other people.

Now I know what people are going to say "you are nothing more than a libtard cuck that is going to hate everything that President Trump does..." And I only respond by saying that I clearly supported his clearing of illegal immigrants from Mexico and hoping that he is being diligent about the issue of illegal immigration. I am merely attempting to make the claim that he is too dumb and not informed enough to know about the issue and how to solve it. Unfortunately, there are large records of things that Donald Trump said in the past in video form and in twitter form that has completely foiled some of the things that he says today and it makes him look like tweedle dumb. I wish that he would act more presidential and not so vindictive when people say truths about him. And besides, when he put out fake news, I didn't see him getting mad about it, so maybe this is just a taste of his own medicine and I think he deserves it.
