Following the grand tradition of gay flamboyance, Milo Yiannopoulos (a gay, right-of-center
journalist) was recently ,carried through a crowd at a university appearance by his pro-Trump
entourage. Most amusing about this event is the co-option of typically leftist techniques of
shock and grandiosity to now serve rightist aims.
His continued audacity, lack of self-censorship, and boldness in furthering conservative
arguments has set the left on the defensive and exposed their desperation in avoiding critique.
In a world that seeks to simply ignore the considerations of right leaning thought, Milo
imposes it's existence upon it's detractors. As a cultural force, it is hard to understate Milo's importance in revitalizing the public's engagement with rightist ideas.
