The people on the left who are asking him to "name names" would not make the same request for one of their own. It is another case of exploiting someone else's principles as a weapon against themselves. Milo is not the first to say that this problem exists and did not specify names. As I recall, it is only a person with influence and the wrong political opinions that has this demand made against them.

Naming names, without evidence, is defamation of character and exposes the victim to a lawsuit. It also normalizes witch-hunts. Maybe a lawyer can make some recommendations, but I think that the best course of action is to contact the local police department of the perpetrators and give them a statement, privately. If the perpetrators are well connected people, then that might not be good enough or expose you to retaliation, which is why most victims stay silent until there is enough public information. This public information includes the police doing their job and investigating based on statements given to them in private.

What your argument neglects is the element of public pressure which can bring elite pedophilia into the light. I am not an attorney, nor do I play one on TV, but understand that there is such a thing as eyewitness testimony. And you're wrong; Milo's politics have nothing to do with his moral obligation to name the names. It's a false argument, particularly from a community which only exists to break PedoGate wide open. We've no clear idea of how recognized pedogate is - but the documentary An Open Secret has more mainstream visibility. This link, coupled with Milo's platform, would bring 'the rings' to a larger awareness. If it were Christ Almighty, Santa Claus or Bernie Sanders who outed himself as a witness to elite pedophilia, I would advocate the exact same thing.

The topic of elite pedophilia is a bit different because for the unconnected perpetrators, the legal system works if you use it correctly (working with the police, etc.) For elite pedophilia, the legal system makes exceptions for them. So we do need to expose the system that makes these exceptions possible. This community is doing that by finding connections and exposing currption; just naming names is not good enough. When Cathy O'Brien named names, she also included a preponderance of evidence about how this system worked. Sorry, but you skipped over the defamation of character problem, so the argument for your methods is incomplete, in my opinion. Eyewitness testimony is given in court. You have to get there first. If you publicly accuse someone of this before going to the police and starting a trial, then it looks like defamation of character because if you were actually harmed, you should have started the legal process to prosecute them first. So you can end up reducing your chances to bring them to justice if the first move is only a public accusation. I want these people in jail, and I think that your current advocacy does less to make that happen then the methods that I recommend.
