I don't play video games at all. Couldn't care less about them. But, because I follow Wil Wheaton on Twitter, I've inadvertently learned about gamer gate , because he is all over it. It appears to be some really nasty sexist stuff carried out against women in the gaming world, also treading into the alt.right sphere. Reading the Wiki would be a good primer.

Wow. Didn't know this dude existed. The only solace with people like that is that at some point, whether its in the shower one day or on their death bed, they have to reckon themselves with their own psyche. Fuck people like this. Fuck them.

DaveInSeattle wrote:Milo Yiannopoulos


I hate that I know who this jackass is...
I either saw it here or on Facebook, but this twat has been on a tour of colleges, blatantly trolling by trying to be as offensive as possible, so he can criticize the PC Liberal wimps who refuse to listen to his message. Works every time, makes college Liberals look stupid and gives fodder for the anti-PC movement. Maybe it was the video of the crazy fat chick screaming like a maniac that was posted here. Whenever he is called hateful, racist, bigot or whatever, he pulls the "I'm a fag, so I can't be a hateful, racist bigot" card. He is a hate-mongering, narcissistic sociopath out for fame and ego. He makes up the most ludicrous rumours, and many gain traction among the Breitbart/Drudge crowd.

Reading this, I can finally make sense of how he became this vile troll.

On his father:
Yiannopoulos says that before he was born his father told his mother he wanted a divorce, but his mom told him she was pregnant. His parents stayed together for six more years and then split. Yiannopoulos respects his father greatly and lived with him for a little while in Kent, where they had a live-in housekeeper and cook. But he hasn’t seen his father in years, never having visited him...My dad is terrifying. He’s like Tony Soprano but Greek. He does unspeakable things during the day and comes home and listens to Wagner and drinks fine wine,” he says, laughing. “I would think, If my dad is just a doorman, why do we have such a nice house? Then I saw it on The Sopranos.” He won’t elaborate. Yiannopoulos missed his annual phone call with his father last Christmas, when his dad called his assistant instead of him.
On his mother:
Yiannopoulos almost never talks to his mom either. She married a guy who, he says, was tough on him as a kid. “My instinct was, ‘I’m going to get you back.’ ” He says he did, 10 years ago, in a way that’s not legal, and his mom’s husband has been nice to him since. “I have never lost a battle, because I have nothing to lose,” he says. “You don’t fight a pig, because you both get dirty. I like the muck. Nothing is too low-rent or dirty enough for me.
And the worst example of acting out against a horrible childhood:
He likes to brag that he’s a bottom for tall black men and that he used to hold a paint sample called Pharoahs Gold 5 to men at clubs to see if they were dark enough to have sex with. He wants to self-publish a Kindle e-book so he can go on television shows with the chyron “Author of Satisfying the Black Man Sexually,” though he’d need to alter the title slightly, because the book Satisfying the Black Man Sexually is already on his shelf. “That’s why I don’t like Planned Parenthood. They kill all those black babies. In 20 years, they could be my harem,” he says. He sees no room for white gay men in liberal parties anymore, because all white men, he says, are treated as enemies of multiculturalism. Plus, he says, being a gay Republican reinstates the illicitness that homosexuality has lost.

I posted about him back in April. But I knew of him way before then via Reddit because he was actually quite articulate and measured and used stats to speak for his point of view when discussing the changes in male and female dynamics.

You can look up vids on YouTube from a few years ago where he's routinely being badgered and interrupted by feminists about plenty of issues.

And then something happened to where he became this. I have no idea what changed other than to make money by being hideous and catering to lowest common denominator types.

But yea, he's vile and disgusting.

There’s a smarter way for the debate moderators to do their job and establish facts. If Mr. Trump were to say during the debate that he never supported the Iraq invasion, the moderator should turn to Mrs. Clinton and say, “Mr. Trump says he always opposed the invasion. Is that what you recall?” Then it’s up to her to respond.

It’s journalistic quicksand for a moderator at a debate to step in and try to right every wrong or correct every comment. Given both candidates’ bad track record with accurate or honest statements, the moderators might end up talking more than the candidates.

And who is it?
Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus Rift, has been keeping busy since he sold the company to Facebook in 2014. One thing he’s done to pass the time, as reported by The Daily Beast, is to financially back (and be named Vice President of) a company dedicated to alt-right meme shitposts.

The company, described in The Daily Beast’s article as “a pro-Trump political organization”, is called Nimble America, and say they are dedicated to establishing that “shitposting is powerful and meme magic is real.”

Some actions Nimble America claim to have taken in recent months include “conquering Reddit” (and by that they mean r/The_Donald) and paying for a giant anti-Hillary Clinton billboard outside Pittsburgh. Alongside Luckey’s name (well, his Reddit account) on the group’s founders page are two mods of r/The_Donald.
Want to change the world? Don't march, don't organize, don't start a movement...."shit-post" anti-clinton Meme's to Reddit. Literally, the least thing you can do...
The report also dwells on the relationship between Luckey and Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos, and mentions that another of Nimble America’s founders, Dustin Ward, claims the group will be paying for more billboards around the sites of upcoming presidential debates.
Argh! They've joined forces!

Yes, its Donald Trump's best friend: Sean Hannity!

Image

Its so hard to imagine that Trump was going on Howard Stern backing the Iraq invasion, while at the same time having lengthy and heated discussions about how he was opposed to the invasion with his good friend, and Bush-Cheney Cheerleader Hannity. And now Hannity has turned out to be Trump's number one backer in the media, going so far as to appear in ads for him. Who'd a guessed that would happen?

And then this, from last night:
Hannity slammed critics of Trump's performance as elitists who he said are out of touch with "the real suffering of real people."

“Now my overpaid friends in the media, well, they have their chauffeur-driven limousines," he said. "They like their fine steakhouses and expensive-wine lifestyles. None of them are feeling this.”
That would be Sean Hannity, who makes $30 million a year, and has a private jet.

Yeah, I almost choked from laughter when I saw that quote. I made $17,000 my first year out of college, which was about $2,000 over the state poverty line. I have a friend who made less than that and went on food stamps during his first year out of college. Not much steak eatin' and wine drinkin' during those days.

It seems this thead is a litany of punchable faces attached to people who have done punchable things, political or otherwise. With the exception of a brood of Trump spawn.

I submit this, not that he has done anything particularly heinous, afaik. But a punchable hall-of-fame face.

I think a "punchable" face is usually attached to someone you reasknably think you can take in a fight. I can whip shriekl I in a second. Tex doesn't work for me and I'm not a small dude. I think he'd wrap me up like a pretzel.

Not to say this applies to Howard who is obviously a badass.
