Yiannopoulos is back with a vengence

[WhiteTara]

Yiannopoulos, for his part, is relying on a formula that he employed at Breitbart. He said that Milo Inc. would be dedicated to “making the lives of journalists, professors, politicians, feminists, Black Lives Matter activists, and other professional victims a living hell.”

But as the free-speech conflagration he ignited at Berkeley continues to burn, Yiannopoulos is planning a way back in. Days after releasing a video touting his return to the campus, Yiannopoulos told the Hive that he would be launching a new media venture in the coming weeks with what he says is a $12 million investment from backers whose identities he is protecting. (Yiannopoulos showed me a page from the contract with the investors' names blacked out.) Another person involved with the company, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, was similarly secretive: "Milo has the best instincts about these things," he said.

The business, which will be called Milo Inc., will be even more focused on stoking the sort of ugly political conflict that's closer to the surface than ever in these early months of the Trump administration. As Fox News remains busy with its latest scandal, Milo Inc. promises to be the latest incumbent in a growing far-right media sphere that is overwhelmingly populated with politically incorrect, and often jarring, provocations once considered verboten by conservatives. Yiannopolos will compete not only against sites such as TheBlaze and Alex Jones's Infowars but also against his very own former employer, Breitbart, which has become a formidable force in the space after its former chairman, Steve Bannon, helped usher Trump to victory and later joined his administration. Yiannopoulos, for his part, is relying on a formula that he employed at Breitbart. He said that Milo Inc. would be dedicated to “making the lives of journalists, professors, politicians, feminists, Black Lives Matter activists, and other professional victims a living hell.”

Milo Inc., according to a press release, will be based in Miami, with a planned staff of 30. It will be in the business of what can be best described as corporatized trolling via live entertainment, with Yiannopoulos and his investors hosting events featuring right-wing talent. “The business of Madonna became touring,” said Yiannopoulos in a phone interview, citing the artist’s deal with Live Nation. “I’m doing the same thing, but instead of signing up with Live Nation, I’m building one. I’m building it for libertarian and conservative comedians, writers, stand-up comics, intellectuals, you name it.”

1. Right wing talent?

Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron?

[Ilsa]

2. What a hateful person.

I hope the hate doesn't sell, but it probably will.

3. Koch brothers are backing him, no doubt.

'Libertarian' gives it away.

Koch bros. are the big machine behind GOP financing and ideology. They are monstrous environmental destroyers and murderers.

Milo is a whore.

4. Maybe literally.

It seems likely Yiannopoulos has had a peek inside a few of his "investors" darkest closets.

Blackmail and threats of mutual assured destruction are the glue that holds the right wing together.

6. It was conservatives who kicked him out of CPAC and made his boost of pedophilia go viral

Yet he attacks "journalists, professors, politicians, feminists, Black Lives Matter activists"?



What a sad little man... this is just another example of the irrationality of the Trump supporter.

7. Trashing "Milo" and "Yiannopoulos". Future posters:

Please spell his name properly so that I don't have to read about him. Thanks!

8. He is such a creepy Mother F****er.
