Iseult, I think he's a nihilist and a narcissist. It's that simple. He doesn't actually believe in any damn thing other than himself. He says/does whatever for shock value and attention. It doesn't really matter what he believes really and truly deep down in his heart/psyche. Giving white supremacists political and media platforms because it advances your career is just as bad as doing it because you personally believe they are right. If we have to analyze Milo's empty soul, I'd guess there's a lot of self-hatred there. He flew on my radar during gamer gate so I've been watching this loser for a while, but not nearly so long as some Brits who had to put up with him before he came to the US. If you look into his past, you'll see a pattern. He's a loser with no skills and few brains who desperately wants fame in any way. He first published a book of poems as a young man- horrible stuff that he now says is satire- also plenty of it was plagiarized even back then. Since then, he's had a career of setting up fundraisers or making deals and then not following through or mismanaging the money. As shitty as his journalism was, it's also mostly shadow-written- he doesn't have the work ethic even to be a good charlatan. The only thing he has going for him is that he will say supposedly shocking things, and right wingers like this because they care most in the world about owning the libs.

Good on the little group of socialists that teased him until he left. I wish this is what every moment of his life was like.
