> For some reason, though, liberals are falling head-over-heels to defend the right of the former to amplify his message.

I think this has to be the most galling thing to see among so many of my liberal (of course white) friends and family: coming out strongly to support Milo's right to speak at a college campus.

A lot of them were pretty quiet too during BLM protests but they felt it was their civic duty to say everyone should have a right to speak their view. I know those people too, and they view themselves as very progressive, but when you decide to most vociferously defend the free speech of Nazi's over minority voices, what the hell have you become?



They probably didn't really like the BLM message (The parts that makes a lot of people feel deeply uncomfortable.)

They almost certainly don't like Milo's message either, but, as the saying goes, "He isn't the one calling us a basket of deplorables."

His advocacy will make problems for other people.
