The Complete Pedophilia-Advocating Video of Milo Yiannopoulos Is Even Worse Than You've Heard

The Complete Pedophilia-Advocating Video of Milo Yiannopoulos Is Even Worse Than You’ve Heard

Unbelievably sick

PoliticsFebruary 2017 • Views: 62,839

Breitbart “News” editor Milo Yiannopoulos has been scheduled to give the keynote address at this year’s CPAC, and he’s in hot water tonight due to a video clip that surfaced today showing him on the Joe Rogan podcast, laughing about and defending pedophilia.

But the complete video of this podcast is actually much worse, because in addition to discussing his experiences with “Father Michael” as a child, Yiannopoulos also confesses to attending “house parties” and “boat parties” at which he witnessed the rapes of “very young boys” by adult men. Milo himself was an adult at the time, and took no action to report these crimes. Instead, here he is laughing about it.

The video is above, and it’s really sickening. And I have to wonder how Joe Rogan could sit there and just laugh along with these stories as well.

And that’s why you never choose to think positively of someone based on who your shared hatreds are. Then again, right wingers have many made an excuse for sexual abuse the past several years.

Kragar Feb 19, 2017 • 7:58:37pm

The only thing Conservatives will take from this? Milo said it happened in California

Targetpractice Feb 19, 2017 • 8:00:52pm

I’d say I was shocked that the wingnuts embraced this shit, but they have wrapped themselves around a man who is an admitted sexual predator who is accused of raping a 13 yr old.

And yeah this shit legitimately pisses me off. He justified on Maher doxxing that student because in his words they were a danger to female students and children. He’s fucking played up that transgendered people are sexual predators bullshit and here we have him on tape defending sex between adults and kids and bragging about being at parties where it happened. I hope this ruins the asshole forever.

We jest but there are people on the right who seriously think believing in consensual sex acts between adults is the same in what Milo advocated on this video. This honestly makes me fucking sick. I’ve coached kids around the same age as the ones he was talking for adults to have their way with. It’s just fucking wrong.

If Mr. Bannon thinks he is threatened, he’ll throw Mr. Yiannopolis overboard first, claiming something such as “he didn’t know.”

Bannon very well may not have known. He is a shrewd operator though, and if he thinks Yiannopolis will significantly damage him or his access in the White House, Yiannopolis will be dropped like a fouled anchor.

The problem with just chucking him over the gunwale is that Milo is too important to their immediate goal of discrediting opposition to Der Trumpenfuhrer. They’ve received serious mileage with “serious” pundits of the liberal and moderate persuasions that he needs to be humored for his “opinions” and that his speaking gigs being canceled is a crime against “free speech.” So they have a need for him as a martyr to the cause. So they’re like to choose rehabilitation over excommunication.

Myron Falwell Feb 19, 2017 • 8:16:15pm

re: #16 Anymouse

It’s less a threat than a public attack, a slight that besmirches him. I will call my shot and say there is no way that Bannon fires Milo.

Of course, Breitbart has a culture of self-appointed martyrdom and victimisation that dates back to when Andrew was still alive. (Think Baby Whiplash quitting the way he did.) Milo gets to become a political martyr and hero among the ~~alt-right~~ Literal Fucking Nazis who embraced Trump and his ilk 110%.

Unless it’s Donald Trump doing it with underage girls, then it’s perfectly OK.

The talk about what happened at the parties though. And come the fuck on Ali, he even says “Father Michael” is why he’s so good at giving head. I mean, maybe this is part of why he’s so fucked up because he was sexually abused but he was definitely condoning sexual relations between adults and adolescents.

I really hope this ruins the bastard. I really do. It’s sad honestly because I think we do have a reason why he may be so fucked up. Obviously not every victim of sexual assault turns into Milo but as we saw with Jerry Sandusky’s son, the abused often turn into abusers themselves.

re: #61 JordanRules

Something is sooooo rotten with this whole bunch. I will never forget when Mr. 2 Live Crew, Luther Campbell said he went to a 45 party back in the day and had to leave. He would not elaborate on what he saw.

I read the same report, and Luther was hardly a Boy Scout, so if shit was too extreme for him to handle, the Trump’s party would have been really awful. There have been rumors of underage girls at some of those parties, plus lots of cocaine and shit. Probably everyone attending had to sign NDAs, so we’ll never know for sure. //

Funny that comes up, because Milo went on a tear back in ‘15, attacking liberals over Josh Duggar by pointing to Sarah Nyberg and accusing all liberals of being accepting of white nationalism and pedophilia.

Seems now that that was projection rivaling an IMAX theater.

Enough projection to make an IMAX theater look like an old Kinetoscope machine.

The sad problem is that, in the political sphere, projection works, and works spectacularly. Without a concerted effort to defuse it properly, it turns things into a he-said-she-said at worse, and at best…well, you saw what happened with Trump’s massive projection against Hillary. And sad to say, the media seems ill-equipped to ever properly call it out and simply falls into the he-said-she-said trap as always.

So yeah…expect the only thing the American electorate to hear eventually is exactly what Milo tells them, and how Dems are guilty of everything he is, becasue…fuck it.

See also the bill in the Oklahoma Legislature that seeks to require women to get men’s permission to obtain an abortion. Consent is not an issue for conservatives.

The idea of getting out of doing something ugly also fits into religion (which is why the two are intertwined): get caught doing something ugly, “repent” and all is forgiven as if it never happened (then the victim should also forgive the repentant sinner).

It is moral relativism (that they project onto liberals). You shouldn’t do this, but if you do, just repent.

The foundation of their belief system is that a man is the only party whose consent matters. Thus spousal rape is a myth because marriage vows = consent, date rape also being a myth because “real” rape involves violence, and the idea that the vast majority of accusations of rape where one or both parties are white are “false” because the woman “cried rape” to avoid social stigma of having per-marital sex.

Hence my line about “where one or both parties are white.” If it’s a white man involved, then it’s always “crying rape.” But if it’s a black guy and a white woman who’s accusing him of a rape? They’ll want his ass in jail in the worst way. Only time that he can get a pass is if he’s an athlete, at which time the tribal mentality to support bloodsport overtakes the tribal mentality that he’s an outsider going after “their women.”

mmmirele Feb 19, 2017 • 9:34:59pm

I’m actually glad this Milo scandal came up right now. I took a road trip to Tucson to see a friend of mine who runs a Christian-oriented blog that exposes coverups of child sexual abuses by conservative Protestant churches. (They also do pastoral abuses of church members and pastors who think they are playas and have serial affairs with their church members…man, things are seedy out there.)

She and her blogging partner take a lot of shit from people about how they’re putting the church in a bad light and so on, but her thing is KIDS ARE BEING HURT. She’s much more conservative than I am and for all I know she voted for Trump, but since she doesn’t allow political discussions on the blog (for which I am thankful, it really would distract from their bottom-line work of exposing patriarchal bullshit about women and children in churches which in their minds leads to these coverups because kids don’t matter), I just decided to keep my conversation away from that. Which was fairly easy to do, because there are unfortunately a LOT of scandals in Evangelical Protestantism.

We went out driving around Tucson today (not much else you could do outside when it was overcast, windy, raining, and/or just pouring down rain) and we talked about Milo a little bit. All I knew about Milo is that he was big on exposing Transgender persons to harassment, and since one of my dearest friends is transgender, he just automatically landed on my shit list for that. Tomorrow when I see her, I will be able to tell her, “Uh, you know Milo? We talked about him briefly? Well, he’s supposed to speak at CPAC but a tape has surfaced of him talking approvingly of pederasty and sex with young teenagers well below the age of consent…” I think that will instantly turn her off from Milo, because, as I said, child abuse is her hill to die on.

What’s going to make their lives miserable is that Milo is not one of those people smart enough to lay low until the wave of outrage passes or issue even a “non-apology.” He’s one of those self-important assholes who have to fan the flames higher by attacking anyone who criticizes them and arguing that they have nothing to be sorry for because their supporters see nothing wrong with what they do.

Claims my own senator (Ben Sasse) supported or enabled paedophilia …
dangerandplay.com

Ben Sasse was in charge of supervising underage boys, who were later abused by members of Congress.

Ben Sasse was a tutor in the Congressional page program from 1996 to 1998. The Congressional page program brings underage boys to Congress to run errands for Congressmen. These young boys would run errands for Congressmen, and often sexual relationships would develop between the underage boys and members of Congress.

Read: Pedophilia enabling follows around GOP candidate for the U.S. Senate Ben Sasse, NE

The Congressional page program was shut down in 2011 after numerous sex scandals occurred, including the Mark Foley sex scandal.

Huge hail? Those are peanuts compared the softball sized hail I’ve seen in the Midwest.

Central Ohio…bad enough with hail.

Way back in the mid 80s a friend had his house hit by tennis ball sized hail. It took out the vinyl siding on the entire west side of his house. Just about every slat had big cracks or holes. Cracked some of the glass too.

Lots of cars in that area, southeast suburb of Columbus, were totaled due to the ding damage. Some of the cars body damage was that bad, especially on the roofs and backs of the car that just can’t be replaced with a quick panel. I knew a photographer who had his Volvo station wagon end up looking like a golf ball with all the dimples in it. He drove it for some time as the car was okay, it just didn’t have any straight body panels except for one side. And the panels would pool water in the rain.

Then around 2001, I had my VW GTi parked out front of my house and didn’t get to it fast enough when a quick storm broke out in early November on a Sunday night. (That storm created tornadoes in Defiance Ohio and did a lot of damage there and elsewhere.) The hail came fast and hard. I swear I took a look out my windows and it was like there were golf balls coming in almost parallel to the ground. I thought the windows were going to shatter, but they held. That lasted probably 10 minutes at the most.

The golf ball sized hail did a nice job on the car and also to some of the slate on my house’s roof. That all was costly. I think I had 68 or so dents on the car but they were all massaged out by a dent specialist my body shop guys knew. Car looked good except for two on the hood that you didn’t see all the time unless the light was reflecting just right. I don’t know how the dent guys do it. I won’t even get into what the roof repair costs. Yikes!

I hate hail!

Apparently it was a very bad joke…made 8 years ago. That’s only receiving attention now in a desperate attempt to make a sorry-assed “BOTH SIDES!” argument. The defense now is that the only part of the video that’s “real” is Milo talking about his first sexual experience at 17. When you point out the part where he admits to going to parties where adult men were buggering boys as young as 13, they either insist it’s totally “fake” or they claim not to hear him talking approvingly of such parties.

So this caught my eye

Marijuana use may be linked to temporarily weakened heart muscle

Stress cardiomyopathy is a sudden, usually temporary, weakening of the heart muscle that reduces the heart’s ability to pump, leading to chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness and sometimes fainting.

Data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample identified 33,343 people who were hospitalized with stress cardiomyopathy between 2003-2011 in the United States. Of those, 210 (less than one percent) were also identified as marijuana users.

Now I’m not the brightest pencil in the deck but those numbers would indicate to me that marijuana prevents stress cardiomyopathy.

Oh right, the NYT “poor little rich people” article where we’re supposed to feel sorry that people who voted for Trump are now shocked that he’s enacting all those things he promised he would enact during his campaign, and feel driven to defend him because they’re made to feel bad about voting for him.

That was the nature of my letter to the editor of my newspaper where the senior editor was shocked, shocked I tell you, that Mr. Trump was calling the press “the enemy of the people.”

I went on polite blast (I posted my letter here a couple days ago and am unsurprised the paper did not print it) telling him “what did you expect? This paper endorsed him. You said you voted for him. You saw how he treated the press. He’s just carrying out what he promised to do and you’re upset? Spare me.” (That’s the gist of my letter.)

re: #213 Myron Falwell

Not Nazi, but still fucking creepy as fuck:

The Cult of Kek, also known as the Church of Kek, is a satirical religion based around the worship of the ancient Egyptian deity Kek[4] (also spelled Kuk or Keku), an androgynous God of darkness and chaos who is often depicted as a frog or frog-headed man in male form or a snake-headed woman in female form. On 4chan, the character Pepe the Frog is often considered a modern avatar of the diety, who uses ancient Egyptian meme magic to influence the world, often by fulfilling the wishes of posts that end in repeating numbers. Additionally, the deity is often associated with the popular 4chan slang term “Kek”, and is often embraced by supporters of 2016 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. Practitioners are known to frequently write “praise Kek,” and jokingly refer to the church as a “religion of peace.”

I feel disgusted with Milo but also some pity as well since no one deserves that.

Targetpractice Feb 19, 2017 • 11:42:12pm

Here’s my advice to the subjects of the NYT think piece and other “moderates” who want absolution without an act of contrition.

1. If you want to be forgiven, you first have to admit you sinned. Saying “I didn’t think he’d actually do it” or “This isn’t what I voted for” are excuses and will be treated as such. Nothing he’s done since taking office is a surprise, he ran on every bit of it. Have the decency to admit you bought what he was selling, don’t lie to us that you were just in it for the free tote bag.

2. If you want us to feel bad that you got called names for voting for Trump, then you came to the wrong place. You made a huge error in judgment, you consigned this nation to a minimum of 4 years under this orange turd’s rule, you’re not going to get any sympathy because now your jimmies are getting rustled. Have some dignity and take your licks without whining.

3. If the problem you have with the DNC is because of “identity politics” rather than catering to “economic anxiety,” then what are you bitching about? Trump’s giving you what you wanted, aren’t you happy? Oh, you mean he promised you that the jobs would come back and all them “illegals” would be gone overnight? Yeah, life’s full of disappointments, you’re about to experience 4 years of them. The line starts back there…

4. Finally, talk about “coalitions” and “movements” that start with the idea that liberals have to come to you is a non-starter. We’re already drawn the line in the sand and begun to organize. You don’t get to join now and tell us that we’re doing it all wrong and have to shuffle things around to accommodate you. If you feel that you’ve no choice but to support Trump because we’re not going in the direction you want, then you obviously are not really against Trump, you’re just wanting people to validate your choice to vote for him. Perhaps you’d be better off going over to Stormfront and joining like-minded folks.

I think the one that got me in the NYT is the dipshit who says that because he might be made to feel bad about voting for Trump, he feels like “a homosexual in the 1950s.” No, son, not even close. For one thing, stupidity isn’t a crime, unlike homosexuality in the 50s. For another, odds are the worst you’re going to feel is ostracized, not lynched by an angry mob. And finally, why did you have to reach back to the 50s? There are plenty of gay Americans today who still live in the closet because of people like you who vote for Bible-thumping fascists who want to take us back to those days when homosexuality was a capital offense.

When you say shit like that, I don’t hear that you feel your vote for Trump was wrong. What I hear is you want people to stop being mean to you for being a knuckle-dragging moron.

The Oklahoma bar and restaurant that fired twelve line cooks claimed that it has fifty other workers who were left without the ability to work and customers who were left in the lurch. The owner claimed if the cooks had called in or talked to him first, he would have shut his restaurant in solidarity.

The construction company owner in Colorado claimed that he has supported immigrant labour for twenty years, including paying his workers when there was no work for the company.

I don’t know what to make of the employers noted in the article. I don’t own a business: If I did, I would likely (presuming I had the money) simply given my workers a day off with pay (but I’m liberal like that).

Here’s another thing grinding my gears this morning. I’m sick of hearing the Democrats ignored the working class. A lot of the white working class basically said fuck you to the Democrats when they chose Reagan over Carter and Mondale, who more than any Democrat is responsible for policies that hurt working class people but many of these people didn’t care. We try talking to them but many of them have a problem that our people isn’t anti immigrant, that our party is pro-choice, that our party wants reasonable legislation on guns. Meanwhile the GOP they chose to embrace has actually moved further to the right on economics. By all means, let’s listen to the concerns of the working class but they needn’t be pandered to the way they want to either with bullshit promises. I’m sorry but the economy has changed. Economies are constantly in transition. Do Ifeel bad for communities that lost the mining and steel mills? Certain, my mom’s parents actually come from such a place but don’t dismiss things like green energy and solar as hippie crap either and a lot of these people do.

Part of a politician’s job used to be delivering well-paid jobs in abundance for people with minimal skills and education. That is what factory and mining work was all about.

I mean I might make an exception if we’re talking about a 14 and 18 year old. The two would at least be peers likely but a grown adult like the priest that was talked about and a fourteen year old. Are we really getting to the point where the right who has said for years that LGBT people were sexual predators is actually going to defend adults having sex with kids because their latest star attraction defends that? And SD, I immediately thought of transgendered folks like oyu and that student he doxxed when this story came out, he’s explicitly said you guys shouldn’t have rights because your’e more likely to assault a child. Seems and what a shocker the bastard was projecting. That’s why I hope he’s ruined. This guy actually did or at least finds it acceptable to do the same things he accuses transgendered folks such as yourself do NOT do.

Trump - last night in Sweden: All the errors in Fox report on Sweden immigration

One of the people I follow on Twitter yesterday RT’d a couple of articles from American RW media (prison planet and Steve Crowder, in fact) saying that there were daily explosions in Malmö, and parliament was going to pass a law preventing citizens from buying bulletproof vests. (This was referring to some MP named Allan Widman proposing a bill.)

Well, it took me but a few minutes of Googling to find reports from Malmö saying nothing of the kind, which I shared with her. I also advised her not to believe anything parroted by right wing media in the USA (she’s in Israel), because they skew the news deliberately against immigrants and especially Muslims.

Part of a politician’s job used to be delivering well-paid jobs in abundance for people with minimal skills and education. That is what factory and mining work was all about.

Those jobs are not coming back, and no amount of threats or promises from any President is going to change that.

That’s what I am saying. Manufacturing isn’t what it was. Part of it is yeah those jobs did move and let me add again supported by the right wing politicians this group now embraces and profited by businessmen like Trump who they see as a savior. But another part of it is modernization and mechanization too. I want to help people in run down economical areas but I don’t want ot pander to them by selling them a load of goods i.e. “We’re going to bring back all the jobs.”

My cousins in PA embraced the GOP because of abortion. The DNC should make no apologies for being a pro-choice party. I understand why the subject of abortion is uncomfortable with people but that’s exactly why I’m pro-choice. I believe the choice should be between you and youreslf not you and the government. And I believe that good sex ad and birth control policies do in fact reduce the abortion and pregnancy rate in the first place and guess who opposes those? Yep.

The textile industry moved away from the States, the UK and the EU long ago, and likewise those mills and factories are not coming back. Textile manufacturers can ship the raw materials overseas, have mills there produce the fabrics, and factories produce the clothing or whatever, and it will still be cheaper than doing it all domestically. And retail customers like low, low prices.

And those retail customers include the very people who decry this. I mean if more of these people were willing to deal with higher prices on consumer products or be sympathetic when the workers at these places would inevitably unionize, I’d get it but so many of these people seem to actually want us in the Gilded Age where we have a protectionist trade policy along with limited or no workers rights.

You know, if the US were competing on wages alone, then that would simply be our impetus to work more efficiently and productively. Which we do to a great extent.

But we are also competing on environmental and safety costs. And for countries with weak, non-existent or non-enforced regulations, that that puts them at a distinct competitive advantage.

So we are not only shooting ourselves in the foot, but we are providing these other nations no incentive to clean up their act. Instead, we are the ones who hear about “job-killing government regulations”.

I think the one that got me in the NYT is the dipshit who says that because he might be made to feel bad about voting for Trump, he feels like “a homosexual in the 1950s.” No, son, not even close. For one thing, stupidity isn’t a crime, unlike homosexuality in the 50s. For another, odds are the worst you’re going to feel is ostracized, not lynched by an angry mob. And finally, why did you have to reach back to the 50s? There are plenty of gay Americans today who still live in the closet because of people like you who vote for Bible-thumping fascists who want to take us back to those days when homosexuality was a capital offense.

When you say shit like that, I don’t hear that you feel your vote for Trump was wrong. What I hear is you want people to stop being mean to you for being a knuckle-dragging moron.

Very true. Conditions in the mills in Bangladesh, Pakistan and other places are appalling — worse than the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory of NYC. The people — mostly woman and young children — are little more than slaves.

But hey! Our clothes are cheap, so it’s all good! Right? //

On more personal note, my mother’s mother was a seamstress in NYC during the early 1900s, and I am sure she worked in some sweatshop somewhere in the City. Anyway, she died young of pulmonary disease, according to the death certificate, when my mom was only six months old. After reading about sweatshop conditions, I realized that Grandma Caroline was likely working in textile factories with poor ventilation, and her death resulted from breathing airborne textile fiber.

Beijing is the worst, but not the only city plagued by horrible air pollution. And those surgical masks do nothing to filter out the particulates, because there is no tight seal around the nose and mouth. Now you can buy more high tech masks with industrial grade filters and silicone seals, though. They even come in designer colors!

For its part, China knows it has a bad air pollution problem, and the government is trying to take steps to reduce. My city, which has very little industry and relatively small population, has pretty clean air, but even so, we’ve got new electric buses replacing the rickety diesel-powered ones, and the national government is pushing wind and solar energy heavily.

It was cheaper for the private catering companies that bid on contracts to supply school lunch, to provide junk food instead of following the guidelines for healthy meals.

It’s also cheaper for poor people to buy cheap junk food with their meager SNAP allotment.

I am not one who is going to go out of my way to be a jerk to a Trump supporter but I’m definitely not going to give them a pass either and try to engage them. Did we ever see anything and I mean anything asking Trump supporters to understand why people may support Clinton? No, in fact we’ve had Republican voters calling us moochers for years but all a sudden the Republican voters who have been down on their luck want us to understand them after years of belittling anyone who they deem their inferior.

Which is the problem I have when talking about the white working class. These people are adults. They had a lot of the same information available to most of us. They saw Trump in action and they decided it didn’t bother them or their problems with Cinton bothered them more.

Trash is piling up in China, and the government says the best way to get rid of it is incineration https://t.co/Fsw0s5xiw3 pic.twitter.com/YbztSCBsBP

“…Trash is piling up in China — more than 520,000 tons a day. No other country on the planet produces more, and China’s government has concluded the best way to get rid of it is to burn it at incinerators like this one, the Gao’antun incinerator power plant run by the Chaoyang district of Beijing.

“Our emissions from burning the garbage are well below EU standards, and our technology is ahead of incinerators in the U.S.,” says Chen Hui, the plant’s chief engineer.

This incinerator was opened nine months ago. The heat from burning garbage at more than 1,000 degrees Celsius produces enough electricity to power more than 140,000 homes.

“Our biggest goal is to protect the environment,” says Chen. “This incinerator is funded, built and run by the government. We’re not driven by profit.”…”

But, there’s a rub…

“…”China has a few incinerators that burn garbage in a clean way, but they’re not the ones winning bids for most government projects,” says Tao Guangyuan, executive director of the Sino-German Renewable Energy Cooperation Center.

He’s worried about China’s pledge to burn 40 percent of its garbage by 2020, because most incinerators in China are operated by private companies.

“Whoever burns garbage the cheapest wins government contracts,” says Tao. “Some companies are willing to burn a ton of garbage for less than $4. When it’s that cheap, you’re definitely not burning it in a clean way.”…”

Trump shift on Yemen risks plunging the country into famine.
(Pro-lifers not calling out deliberately starving children.)
huffingtonpost.com (more at the link)

WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump may be on the brink of sparking a full-blown famine in Yemen ― all because of a subtle shift in messaging that risks effectively cutting off humanitarian relief to the war-torn nation.

For more than a year, former President Barack Obama’s administration urged a coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates not to attack or seize the critical port of Hodeidah on Yemen’s west coast. The bulk of humanitarian supplies that enter Yemen flow through Hodeidah, and attacking the port, which is controlled by the Houthi rebels, would likely put it out of commission, the Obama administration warned.

This is a cross-section of the GOP. It’s who they are.

They aren’t anyone’s moral or ethical betters. This is the moral and ethical rot of the GOP on public display (as if electing/backing a president who admits to sexually assaulting women on video wasn’t enough).

Milo’s entire appeal to wingnuts is that he’s a raging bigot who happens to be homosexual.

Honestly, I haven’t been paying attention to Milo. So, I looked him up on Wiki:
Personal sexuality

While Yiannopoulos is openly gay, he has stated that gay rights are detrimental to humanity, and that gay men should “get back in the closet”.[96] He has described being gay as “aberrant” and “a lifestyle choice guaranteed to bring [gay people] pain and unhappiness”.[97]

Some have accused Yiannopoulos of exaggerating his homosexuality for comic effect,[vague] and falling back on homophobic tropes in doing so.[18]

Paedophilia
In an Internet live streamed event, Yiannopoulos spoke of having a relationship with an older man, a Catholic priest, when a teenager and said, “you can get quite hung up on this child abuse thing”. He also said, “In the homosexual world, particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men - the sort of ‘coming of age’ relationship - those relationships in which those older men help those young boys discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable, sort of rock, where they can’t speak to their parents.” Conservatives were critical of his comments on Twitter. Yiannopoulos responded, claiming that the video of the event had been “selectively edited” and denying he supported paedophilia.[98][99][100] In February 2017, he drew criticism when it was revealed that he had advocated for the possibility of consensual sexual relationships between 13-year-olds and adults.[101][102]

He says gays should get back in the closet but yet was bragging about how good head he gives in that Rogan interview. I’m no shrink but I do think part of the reason he’s so messed up is because he was abused. Obviously, most abuse victim don’t turn into people like him but it might explain some stuff IMO.

I was thinking the same thing. Possibly why he hates women as much as he does. Mom didn’t help him when he was being abused.

My cousins in PA embraced the GOP because of abortion. The DNC should make no apologies for being a pro-choice party. I understand why the subject of abortion is uncomfortable with people but that’s exactly why I’m pro-choice. I believe the choice should be between you and youreslf not you and the government. And I believe that good sex ad and birth control policies do in fact reduce the abortion and pregnancy rate in the first place and guess who opposes those? Yep.

Same with my family. One by one the Religious Right infected them and they are hard core GOPers because they oppose abortion and love their guns.

Yep. As I said, it’s their homophobia that will do him in. He’s going to find out the hard way that if had been girls like Josh Duggar, they’re more or less brush it off but talking about how it’s okay to adult men to “help” boys find their sexual orientation is going to really destroy his relationship with a lot of them. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy I say. I want to see his reaction. Hopefully, he has some dirt on some of them.

I feel the same way about my coal mining great grandpas. They worked hard as hell to get unionization rights. They didn’t like working in the mines. My mom’s mom’s father would probably much have rather been a farmer but he had to pay the bills. The damn mines took him way too soon. When he died in 1950, he was a very healthy man outside of his lungs. His own father and brother who stayed in Slovakia lived long lives. I know for a fact that his son in law, my grandfather and namesake went into the bricklaying business because he wanted to be able to breath fresh air and not be in the mines all day and as a result, my brothers and I were able to know him while my mom and uncle never met his dad.

web.archive.org

I suppose I would’ve had more credibility if I came out in the first post as both trans as a self-identified childlover, but I avoided doing that because I figured it’d mostly just turn into flames about me being a pedophile.

archive.is

having sex with a child doesn’t create a pedophile. what you’re thinking of is a child molestor, but even then it isn’t that simple.

couldn’t it be that children that had a positive, fulfilling, non-abusive sexual relationship with an adult as a child are more likely to realize such relationships are not inherently abusive, and be more likely to admit they’re attracted to kids (either to themselves or others)?

archive.is

there is no reference of pedophilia before dj came along. I have no intentions of bringing it up here. she brought it up because it came up while I was in the #venusenvy chat. but for the record: yes, I am a pedophile. no, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. no, I don’t— I wouldn’t ever— have sex with children. no, I don’t look at child porn. beyond that, I really wish it’d just be dropped.

Just saw a lame ad for State Senator Wagner the other Republican running for governor here in VA. Starts with him shooting a gun. Hey you know how to shoot a gun, that’s nice but what on earth does that have to do with goverance. Oh well, Stewart by far is the worst of the bunch but it’s really annoying how all these Republicans feel the need to show off their gun know how to impress their base. Talk about talking down to people.

Despite these apparently humble terms, it was a pivotal time to enter the organization, which had recently begun a sweeping campaign to improve its education and research programs, and in 1960, the contraceptive pill finally became widely available. In 1964, Calderone overturned the American Medical Association policy that prevented physicians from informing patients about birth control. As the fight to provide reproductive health services intensified, Calderone began focusing on something else: Americans’ desperate need for sex education.

He is a friend of Trump, he can plausibly deny having said anything he does not want to have said, and there are people lining up to defend him in the name of Free Speech and Open Dialogue.

Unbelievable — I’m actually in an argument with a RWNJ over Milo — who is defending the guy. Amazing how formerly all those people who were anti-gay are now pro-pedophilia. WTF? I just can’t believe that cognitive dissonance can be this extreme.

simple fact is that Milo is a young, gay, male who is very much in love with the spot light.. he says provocative and controversial things and, because he’s a conservative who supports Trump, people are attacking him
if he were a Hillary supporter 1) he wouldn’t be relevant and 2) no one would be accusing him of covering for a pedo priest
So it’s a shitty double standard here

I’m saying if Milo was a Clinton supporter, you wouldn’t even know who the fuck he is and, by extension, wouldn’t give a fuck that he willingly engaged in sex acts as a minor with an older guy
that happens ALOT with young males all over the world (consensually) and because Milo is a contro figure whom lefties decided to hate cause he’s a Trump supporter, you’re going to attack him for shit that applies to millions of people
that’s fucking weak
This is why you guys lost

So I responded ” It doesn’t matter if he was the aggressor, under law he had no legal right to consent…. the adult broke the law. So you are advocating to lower the age of consent then?”

At that point he loses it and says:

Are you fucking serious right now? is this how the left debates?

re: #611 weave

Unbelievable — I’m actually in an argument with a RWNJ over Milo — who is defending the guy. Amazing how formerly all those people who were anti-gay are now pro-pedophilia. WTF? I just can’t believe that cognitive dissonance can be this extreme.

So I responded ” It doesn’t matter if he was the aggressor, under law he had no legal right to consent…. the adult broke the law. So you are advocating to lower the age of consent then?”

At that point he loses it and says:

Sigh….

Pathetic. Really, this is why I have no desire to “listen” to them. I know not every Trump supporters thinks like this person but Jesus Christ, it’s got nothing to do with him being a Trump supporter, the fact is the guy has called transgendered people sexual deviants and perverts. Really, fuck RWNJs, stop blaming the left for all your miserable people that you associate yourselves with.

re: #612 Targetpractice

Well, I decided to go dumpster diving over at FR to see how they’re responding to the Milo controversy. And it’s about as you’d expect, with half going “ZOMG, they’re trying to shut him up!” and the other half going “I can’t believe anybody supports that queer!” The funniest bit is the argument that Milo is a “useful idiot” to the far-right because he brings in the “youth” and is somehow inspiring the next wave of conservatives.

Oh, the things we tell ourselves when we want to justify our hypocrisy.

Yeah i figured it would be a divide like this. Fuck both sides of the debate there.

Nah, at this rate, Milo’s going to end up as a “cautionary tale.” One of the items I saw repeated again and again about Milo over at FR by his “fans” is that “the Left” hate him because he shows the “reality” of homosexuality with his admitted depravity and hedonistic lifestyle. Now that he’s ceasing to serve a useful purpose as a booster for young conservatives, he’ll end up being used as an example of why homosexuality is something that should be unlawful and those “suffering” from it forced to “get right with God.”

re: #636 Kragar

It is the night-black Massachusetts legendry which packs the really macabre ‘kick’, Here is the material for a really profound study in group neuroticism; for certainly, no one can deny the existence of a profoundly morbid streak in the Puritan imagination….The very pre-ponderance of passionately pious men in the colony was virtually an assurance of unnatural crime; insomuch as psychology now proves the religious instinct to be a form of transmuted eroticism precisely parallel to the transmutations in other directions which respectively produce such things as sadism, hallucination, melancholia, and other mental morbidities. Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. This was aggravated, of course, by the Puritan policy of rigorously suppressing all the natural outlets of excuberant feeling—music, laughter, colour, pageantry, and so on. To observe Christmas Day was once a prison offence….
