Are you aware of Milo Yiannopoulos?

Are you aware of Milo Yiannopoulos? February 21, 2017

I feel not the slightest hankering or nostalgia for this kind of thing, nor for anything remotely like it.

I wasn’t aware of Milo Yiannopoulos until quite recently.

 

I wish I still weren’t.

 

Here are a couple of items about him:

 

“What Is a Conservative?”

 

“Free Speech Has a Milo Problem”

 

I despise the “alt-right.”  The uncomfortably cozy links between Trumpism and the alt-right were among the many things that told me — nay, screamed to me — that I could not, in good conscience, board the Trump train.  They still worry me very, very much.
