Saul Alinsky's Rule for the Radicals - accuse them of the very thing you are guilty of.

That's not ACCUSING anyone of shit. That's Milo clearly endorsing sex with underage children, while simultaneously protecting other pedophiles. This is Milo in his own fucking words.

Yeah this sub is getting ridiculous. Sarah Silverman, a comedian who tells offensive jokes for a living, jokes about pedophilia and is instantly labelled a pedo by people here. Meanwhile, Milo actually, seriously states that sex between an adult man and a boy is beautiful, and people fall over themselves defending him.

Do you guys not see the hypocrisy in that??

BTW, I don't think Milo is a pedo. He does has some views that line up with NAMBLA, which I find reprehensible, but I don't think that means he would actually have sex with a boy.

Focus on the task at hand, which is exposing actual criminals, not people who dislike Trump. All of that other stuff should stay on the_Donald where it belongs.

Nobody sees the irony in vilifying a person they disagree with based on a few statements, and defending a person they agree with using the same rationale.

Either people sometimes make jokes that are offensive but not how they actually feel, or everything everyone says always has a kernel of truth to it. Can't have it both ways depending on how you feel about the person.

I disagree. There's a difference between a comedian making a joke and a journalist making a serious statement. Milo gave no indication he was joking, whereas Sarah Silverman has never once supported boy-love, she's only made jokes about pedophilia.

If you listen to Milo's statements, you don't have to do any searching for a kernel of truth, he repeatedly and earnestly insists that sex with minors is ok. He leaves zero room for ambiguity as to what his opinion on the issue was.

As a victim, like many other victims do, they try to deal with it either through humor or telling themselves (often repeating what their abuser said to them) that it was ok because;

it felt good, so it wasn't "abuse or abusive*

that the predator wouldn't have touched the you/their victims if you hadn't wanted it!

that you are/were far more mature than your age...mentally old enough for a "serious relationship with an older, and therefore smarter/more worldly guy!"

"you feel/felt special and loved and excited to see your abuser as they groomed you so you should trust your feelings and follow along with where it takes you!"

"Parents and other teachers and your friends won't understand our special bond. It'll be our secret!"

"You were horny! You have needs! Why can't we enjoy each other's company without getting in trouble and upsetting everything and everyone?!"

"You will still think of me and how much I love you and gave to you, even when you're older. It's PROOF that what we did together wasn't wrong. The laws and everyone else is what's wrong!"

"I will ALWAYS be your first. Your first love, your first truly close friend and many other firsts. You will ALWAYS know that and I will ALWAYS know that."

"You told lies to people just so we could sneak out and spend time together. It takes a VERY REAL, VERY DEEP LOVE to make you lie to your parents and your family and friends just for me.

"You will never ever be able to find someone who is a mature adult who will do anything to be with you...even risk GOING TO JAIL FOR YOU, for as long as you live. I will always be your first and your BEST because I put my whole life and future on the line just for you."

"You make me feel this way. You drive me crazy and make me break the law and all the rules just to be with you. It's your fault that I have to have you."

However, Milo stated very clearly that he does NOT agree with children being in sexual relationships with adults.

He was speaking about his own experience, which in order to deal with, he has made himself either joke about it or retained the mantra that abusers place in the mind of their victims; that the victim was the aggressor, therefore the victim wanted it to happen therefore Milo has believed, at least partially, that it's his fault and it happened because deep down somewhere, he must have wanted it to happen.

It's one of the very difficult things for the victim to deal with.

Thus the dark humor you see which is painted all over it in this particular case.

Have some compassion.

Besides, the man fucking despises pedophiles and outs them and exposes them every chance he gets.

Milo is radioactive. I do not trust him.

I mean, I honestly don't know how much I ever take Milo's statements as how he really feels about anything. He says things to be provocative and the more provocative the statement is, the more he digs in and doubles down.
