It was an inside job. The neocons and even the rest of Breitbart staff have turned on Milo. It's a deliberate attempt to set him up as a girardian scapegoat of some sort in order to redeem the Trump administration.

>>9134617
I had heard about him getting blown up at campuses, then I watched him on Bill Maher, and frankly, I'm over him. If I want to hear shit like that Sam Harris being political is enough for me.

Milo is a scapegoat. Ann Coulter is much more fash than milo and her audience is at least 10x Milo's. The 'alt right' has outlived its usefulness. it has no place in the new symbolic order of things, ie. neoReaganism Cold War on Terror: the Gipper Strikes Back

Milo is a product of "msm". They successfully dumbed people down to the extent that they use celebrities instead of academics, journalists, novelists etc for their worldview.

If it wasn't for the ((msm)) Milo would be sucking dick in an alleyway or working in Barnes and nobles.

They're dealing with subjects important to the conscious experience of everyday life, and their work may go on to influence policy relating to everyday life. Because of that, humanities academics shouldn't act so surprised when people resent them for their work.

>>9134959

I would too but I'm kind of scraping the barrel over here.

That's not exclusive to humanities academics, anon. They aren't special.

>>9135373
What is unique is the contempt for the general population that exudes their work and their lack of meaningful attempts to make engage with them.

They're welcome to do it, and some of their work might even require it. They just shouldn't complain when they're misunderstood or when misinformation about their work is readily accepted by the public.

>>9135415
I see no misunderstanding, the public accepts their work and academics don't complain about that. I don't get why they should engage the public more. Do you mean going on talk shows and the like?

Then why have bizarre interpretations of Marxism and postmodernism managed to pervade the thought of half of the political spectrum? It is part of the reason some hack like Milo gets so popular.
>I don't get why they should engage the public more.
I think the public is entitled to know about the work powerful institutions do about things relevant to their conscious everyday experience. It is also necessary to combat the anti-intellectualism that is so prevalent (and entirely justified because of the relation of the general public to academia and the educational system) in our culture.
>Do you mean going on talk shows and the like?
I don't know how it should be done. That's the tough part.

>>9135540
Let's not forget that humanities academics are not social workers who need to engage with the public in a meaningful manner in order to do their work, they are social scientists that publish papers that are readily available to the public.
I agree that something needs to be mended and that fighting anti-intellectualism is key. I can't blame the academics themselves for their isolation from society because I think the disconnection may be a product of the educational system itself.

>Let's not forget that humanities academics are not social workers who need to engage with the public in a meaningful manner in order to do their work, they are social scientists that publish papers that are readily available to the public.
I don't think availability is the best type of engagement that would be helpful. The public doesn't have the tools to engage with it directly, and there are many people out there who are able to spin it in a way that is compelling enough that people are willing to believe it. there
s probably a point where engaging with the public would distract them from their research, and that would be even worse. Perhaps we just need some major improvement in our public intellectuals.
>I agree that something needs to be mended and that fighting anti-intellectualism is key. I can't blame the academics themselves for their isolation from society because I think the disconnection may be a product of the educational system itself.
I agree. A high quality education is inaccessible to a so many people. The best way to fix these problems is major educational reform, and while that may happen under this administration, it won't be of the beneficial variety. I guess it is wrong to blame them, but there is more they could be doing, and everyone will need to do more in the next few years.

Paedophilia is one of the last great taboos.

Lefties/Liberals go fucking mental over it to atone for their moral relativism in everything else.

How do you not? They're a company and it is totally normal for publishers who are working in political writing to focus on their sect of it when selection material to publish.

But that's not even why he was rejected, the publishing company agreed with him for the most part; otherwise why pretend a man who's only credential is "I annoyed people on twitter" has any ability to write a book? He represented their ideals and was newsworthy at the moment enough for it to sell. Heck, they probably especially want him for being gay, because every politically charged group is obsessed with diversity, admit it for not.

No, the reason his book was dropped was because of the kiddy fucking.
