Yes, that's a no duh moment. The students benefit so they pay... what's wrong w that?
All he seems to have to say is hate speech. I find him disgusting.
He's a troll. But he's not really all hate speech. It's understandable why you might think that though.
He’s a self-admitted troll...who clearly doesn’t care how much shit he stirs up as it’s good exposure for him.
People should go and troll him back aka - protest him being there.
Why is that any different than the crap he feels entitled to (as a speaker of what exactly? wise remarks? sage advice? love and compassion? togetherness and acceptance?), yet the rest of the students who pay the tuition to the school aren’t entitled to be upset and protest what they view as a disruptive person coming to their campus?
Some probably feel their money is being misspent on hiring speakers who advertise being a dick as their main occupation.
Oh really? What noteworthy things has he said or done that do not include hate speech?
He regularly says and writes things that are sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. The articles I've read of his are venom. He says all this sort of stuff when he lectures at universities. What else does he do? How does he contribute positively to society in any way?
It seems pretty cut-and-dry to me. He profits off hate speech then cries about political correctness when anyone stands up to him or he gets blocked from a univeristy. It is all hate speech.
Ok this thread is getting away too emotional. And every time others get emotional, I get emotional too. So I'm out.
Why?
Emotions are a part of life. Of course people are going to feel strongly about a topic like this. Milo is a troll. He exists to get a reaction. No one here has lost their cool, either.
Anger inhibits reason. Its almost impossible to be angry and reasonable at the same time. That's why.
Sooo... he speaks so people can listen objectively? He provokes anger.
Possibly. Maybe. I'm indecisive and perhaps undecided.
