Milo in particular clearly stands for nothing, just some guy trying to make "a career" out of manipulating people emotionally.

Like if you're halfway capable of winding people up and don't mind the consequences, its incredibly easy to become one of these fucking faces.

do I need to edit "incel" into the title of this thread or does it go without saying?

ANYWAY - big news - I am a tiny bit famous on fox news

Alternate social media site rolls out new technique to squash extremist content without violating First Amendment

a while ago, a (friend-of-a-)friend started working for this minds.com social media site, which is basically a hands-off haven for anyone too nasty for facebook/twitter. although the founders were ostensibly all about "free speech", in reality it's a complete cesspool of every kind of hate, unsurprisingly. here's the summary by Vice. so my f-o-a-friend started having serious qualms after having to deal with all the content, which I guess he was doing personally? that's gotta be grim. he was asking for my input on this - thinking about leaving the company and all that - and ultimately the boss convinced him to stay, saying there'd be a way to keep things in check. at some point during these conversations I was sort of playing devlil's advocate and exploring the value of him staying and making that rotten community as minimally toxic as possible without locking down free speech, and I said that he could be a "sewer steward". I guess that stuck, because the mechanism the guy implemented to regulate content is now called "Steward", according to that article.

sincere apologies to anyone who both read that dumb tale AND clicked a foxnews link

I can't decide if I think Trump believes in racist stuff or if he just courts them as a bunch of useful jofas. Like making all the retarded girls think you'll take one of them to the prom if they give you their quarters every day. I just don't know if I think dudes like that actually care about anything.
