Why do some people think hacks like pic related count as

Because he holds public conferences?
He is more a public figure than an intellectual for sure but at least he speaks to people nobody dare to engage.

Nobody thinks he's intellectual, including himself. Milo constantly says that he never expressed any ideas that aren't commonly agreed upon by millions of americans

Because people like you constantly give him political oxygen by never shutting up about him.

Only teenagers think that and they think that because they are teenagers.

Milo Vpopulos is as much a "public intellectual" as Noam Chomsky, best Hitchens or Zizek. He publicly speaks about various complex problems, and some people buy his bullshit - that's the only qualifier.

After the Bill Maher appearance, which most people think went badly for Milo, a bunch of journalists got together and published articles "exposing" Milo's pro-pedophilia stance, not realizing that the examples they used were jokes with contexts that sort of justifies them.

He got disinvited from CPAC, his reputation has gone to shit, and he might even lose his book deal.

>>9133466
He's going down pretty quickly over his age of consent comments now.

>>9133466

go to /pol/. the tide is turning against this guy big time. half of /pol/ already hated him to begin with (for obvious reasons) and the rest saw him as necessary. now they are pretty scattered over it.

Provocation as a method of free speech protest is pretty vital nowadays. What Milo did wrong was come across as weak and petty during the Maher debacle, so the people who are usually willing to defend his antics are now staying silent. He's basically done.

Celebrities have replaced academics, journalists, novelists, politicians etc in informing peoples worldview.


Niggers like trump and Yiannopopulopus complain about the "mainstream media"......but the (((media))) have basically created a culture where these narcissists can thrive by turning the general populous into an amalgamation of high functioning self-pitying retards.

People complain about tumblrinas.....nobody is so engrossed in self pity as rust belt, blue collard merrycans.

The alt-right movement has some individuals who support and speak out about it. Milo Yiannopolous is one of the most successful. Ben Shapiro is another great one, and is an example of why it's good that Hitler did not succeed. It could be said that it was a combination of the alt-right movement and people's general state of annoyance at SJWs/BLM/3rd wave feminists that Trump got elected in America. It's a shame that we were too late in Canada to avoid pretty-boy Trudeaux j.r. Bloody male feminist...

The alt-right isn't anti-Semitic.

>>9133667
Whatever his political beliefs are, his views mirror the alt-right quite closely. I guess it's because he's Conservative and the alt-right movement is also Conservative, just like both Catholicism and Anglicanism are both branches of Christianity. Lots of similarities. Personally I'm Anglican, and find it funny to call it "Catholic Lite". All the salvation of your soul, but with only half the guilt.

>>9133672
It took me a few seconds as well, he certainly did look like quite a nerd back then. I wonder how many years old that photo was.

>>9133675
I concur. His ability to bring up so many facts and statistics while also being able to speak so plainly that it's like he's only talking to one person, almost in a monotone voice at that, it definitely suggests he's got some wires crossed upstairs, but somehow in a good way.

>>9133685
I don't see how he's an embarrassment, and I'm not familiar with his writing. Funny to hear he's so short though. Whatever his political ideals are, I definitely identify with him quite a bit on what he has to say.

>>9133692
I have to admit, that seems like rubbish to me, but then again I also hate Picasso's paintings so what do I know of true art?

>>9132129
This guy isn't an intellectual, he is a professional troll and pretty hilariously so. If you take him seriously then you have already lost and he has won.

He is like a wrecking ball, sent in to leftist strongholds so public figures, professors and college activists can make fools of themselves by reacting hysterically to his antics. If they would just ignore him, then he would just go away, but I guess they are too gridlocked in their outrage and victim politics. That guy literally got his tactics from image boards and from gamergate activists in particular. Everyone who is halfway internet savvy knows 'don't feed the troll', but they can't help themselves.

>>9133813
Oh no, how will I ever recover from the scathing critisism from Negronometry, Hanan and Yung Lean?

>>9133849
this. and seeing trolls inevitably self-destruct is half the fun

>>9133838
>lol what does this even mean?
it means that "triggered" is a get out of jail free card because in a discussion it is used solely as a method of making the other guy say "I'm not triggered!" which makes him look like he's flailing. it's a verbal trick that makes you look cool and is practically impossible to defend against because if you do you look weak. when faced with that the only thing you can do is try to use sarcasm, which I did. clear enough?

>>9133859
triggered

He has an above average IQ and he's gathered a following by debating topics that pander to brainlets. (ie. gamergate, alt-right, anti-feminism)
Said brainlets look up to him and don him the label of an intellectual because he has professional level diction, is well-read and writes every so often.

Which is what smart people do, r-right?

>>9133866

>>9133560
I can't tell if there's something about this guy's speech pattern that makes it impossible to not immediately discard what he's saying or he just has nothing of substance to say to begin with. A mix of the two I think.

>making the other guy say "I'm not triggered!" which makes him look like he's flailing.

you still haven't even disclosed why you were so annoyed with him in the first place - of course you're flailing.

Because of a lack of actual public intellectuals in America. If we restrict our attention to the humanities, intellectual have utterly failed to deliver anything of value to the public.

Right-wingers don't have anything other than "Muh Slims :D" and the Left cares not one bit for workers, or if they do, they aren't exactly presenting any new thinking or praxis in leftist theory in a way that people can understand, just circlejerking over French philosophers. As far as the general public knows, the only contribution of leftist intellectuals over the past few decades amounts to nothing except privilege theory and intersectionality.

The mark of maturity is knowing that just because something can be said doesn't mean it should. Milo had no convictions besides being a bombastic and equally annoying reveler in our current political landscape.

Those who defend Milo are braindead morons who think just because a guy openly says controversial shit and bullies people on Twitter somehow makes him eligible as the mouthpiece for the disenfranchised right. This recent controversy was bound to happen and he did it to himself.
