I'm a big fan of Milo, who has become a one-man wrecking crew against the social justice warriors infesting "universities" across the land. He has shone a light on trigger warnings, safe spaces, cultural appropriation, and many other hallmarks of generation snowflake, who describes itself as tolerant but cannot bear to hear contrary viewpoints, even in a place ostensibly devoted to exploring them.
I've watched several of Milo's lectures online and, almost without fail, a latter-day Neanderthal leaps up and shrieks in order to prevent Milo from questioning fanciful notions such as the wage gap or white male privilege. This is what tolerance and education consist of today: mindless dogmatism.
Milo has grown better prepared and sports enough manpower to bounce uncivilized curs from his events. In what appears to be an act of escalation, someone threatened to bring firearms or explosives to his next speech, which now has been canceled. Some suggest that the threat was made by white supremacists, but the sound money is on the tolerant cohort, who are far more numerous and have a proven determination to stop debate from springing up in the halls of higher learning.
If there's a lesson from this, it's that all major American institutions -- family, government, news, entertainment, schools, and even big business -- have been converged by the cancer of leftism. There's no need to fight it, for leftism is so divorced from reality that it always collapses after burning through the wealth and prosperity built by the superior men who preceded it.
I wish Milo the best in his crusade, but a better way to achieve his goal of defeating lunacy is simply to get out of its way, go your own way, and let it burn to the ground.
