Right wing agitator Milo Yiannopoulos ‘talks a lot of sense’, says Troll Academy tour publicist Max Markson
PR agent Max Markson is working with Penthouse Australia to promote Milo Yiannopoulos’ forthcoming ‘Troll Academy’ Australian tour with the publicity veteran insisting the right wing agitator “talks a lot of sense”.
Yiannopoulos’ December tour will see him appearing in Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, Sydney and the Gold Coast.
Knob move: compare MLK Jr and Milo ‘the Rambler from NAMBLA’ Yiannopoulos?
I wrote a lengthy post about Milo (the good and the bad). $100 says it’s deleted. Search for “Christina Hoff Sommers”. If there’s no comment here about her from Bruce, Mods has censored a balanced view of the truth.
Regardless, see Christina Hoff Sommers (the factual feminist). She worked with Milo to defend gamer gate people (among many others).
You’re correct, Bruce. I’m not publishing it. It’s off topic.
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
Think the whole industry would be a hell of a lot better off if we just ignored everything that was associated with Markson.
Markson is not in PR. What he practices is not PR. He’s a publicist who’ll sell anyone or anything.
why am i not surprised that a man whose views often mirror the silent conservative majority is pejoratively described by Mumbrella as “extreme and divisive”, with his speeches derisively labelled as “rants”?
his views are only extreme and divisive to vaccuous groupthinkers who prefer censorship and virtue-signalling to reason and argument
Agree totally with Bob. And have already bought my ticket. Maybe the rest of the Mumbrella readers should go along and see why political correctness is killing advertising creativity.
There are interesting conservative writers & thinkers out there. David Frum & Tyler Cowan being two US ones.
Milo is not really a thinker so much as an entertainer. He is basically Andrew Bolt as a gay 30-something. He will say tediously outrageous things about brown people and women. He will claim to be silenced. He will find someone with less power than himself to humiliate. Then he will count his money and go home.
Enjoy.
Matt – exactly.
I’m certainly a leftie, but I find it hard to muster outrage about Milo. The guy exists not to further the conservative side of a debate, but to enrich himself by saying ridiculous and silly things. He is quite literally a professional troll.
If there was money to be made in making sensible arguments, he’d be doing that instead.
MIlo is alt right (average comments, smokescreened by his sharp appearance and demeanor). He is a fraud. Likewise the regressive left are frauds. Anywhere in between, I would favour a debate, because it is often rational and logical debate.
1 – If there is a silent conservative majority in Australia, it’s a small one. Last election saw the Coalition get 50.7% of the two-party vote.
2 – I would hazard a guess that a lot of people within that 50.7% don’t think that rape culture is a myth, that white privilege doesn’t exist, that there are occasions when men having sex with underage boys is ok, that transgender people are mentally ill, etc…
As others here have mentioned, Milo may not even believe these things themselves – he only says them to shock. But that doesn’t mean that they aren’t divisive, and not just to “vaccuous groupthinkers who prefer censorship and virtue-signalling to reason and argument”.
This will drive the inner-city luvvie-Leftists insane. They’re bursting to throw their toxic bile at Milo, but trapped in a bind of their own homophobia-phobia. They’ll attack by trolling anonymously, as they always do; and they’ll marshall their terrorist friends in Antifa to wreak havoc and assault the innocent, as they always do. This stands as the acid test for free speech in Australia, and those who try to thwart it through their violence must receive very long custodial sentences.
Is this satire? It’s not very good.
LOL!
I suspect not many will turn up to see him in Australia.
I suspect you may be wrong, but I guess we’ll see.
Interesting. Perhaps Milo’s been a frequent collaborator/contributor to Markson Sparks! for years. http://marksonsparks.com/author/milo/
Penthouse is still in business?
I look forward to ignoring this tosh
We do not have free speech in Australia. How hard is it for people to comprehend that? Why is Penthouse printing we do? that is a lie!
Are you abole to point me to a link of his speech. I want o know what all the fuss is about.
He does talk a lot of sense but he also talks a lot of garbage, some of it is a complete lie, some of it extremely toxic. So I ask people; why listen to him when there are 100’s of other people who talk a lot of sense but without all the hate and lies?
