>Conservative group cancels speech by Yiannopoulos archive.is/k52vV
>Highlights Simon & Schuster and its Threshold Editions imprint announced that "after careful consideration" they had pulled the book, for which pre-orders placed it high on Amazon.com's best-seller lists.
The subject of intense controversy from the start, "Dangerous" was originally scheduled to come out in March. But Yiannopoulos pushed back the release to June so he could write about the protests during his recent campus tour, including a cancelled appearance at the University of California, Berkeley.
At the time of his publisher's decision Monday, "Dangerous" ranked No. 83 on Amazon's overall list and No. 1 in the subcategory of "Censorship & Politics."
Simon & Schuster did not offer any specific reason for pulling "Dangerous."
More than 100 Simon & Schuster authors had objected to his book deal, which was announced last December, and Roxane Gay withdrew a planned book. Some bookstores had said they would not sell it, although the National Coalition Against Censorship and other free speech organizations had defended the publisher.
Threshold is a conservative imprint that has published books by President Donald Trump, who has defended Yiannopoulos, and former Vice President Dick Cheney, among others.
literally, who cares? this just look like shitty walmart momcore

Anyone who reads trash non-fiction by political hacks does not belong on this board. I was talking to a qt who told me she loved history. I asked her about some recent history works and she told me about pic related.
Fucking. Dropped.
Maybe he can self publish on Amazon.

when will these people realize that shutting his stuff down only bolsters his appeal?
Mason Cooper
It was an inside job. The neocons and even the rest of Breitbart staff have turned on Milo. It's a deliberate attempt to set him up as a girardian scapegoat of some sort in order to redeem the Trump administration.
Jacob Ortiz
I had heard about him getting blown up at campuses, then I watched him on Bill Maher, and frankly, I'm over him. If I want to hear shit like that Sam Harris being political is enough for me.
Adrian Diaz
When we people realize that by reading widely you can form your own opinions without being a follower of twitter whores.
Easton Cook
Milo is a scapegoat. Ann Coulter is much more fash than milo and her audience is at least 10x Milo's. The 'alt right' has outlived its usefulness. it has no place in the new symbolic order of things, ie. neoReaganism Cold War on Terror: the Gipper Strikes Back
Isaiah Nguyen
/pol/ already knew this was coming.
Ryan Collins
Fuck him and get off Veeky Forums breitbart shill.
Just because he wrote a book doesn't mean is literature.....nigger probably used a ghost writer.
>milos "poetry"
Pedo apologist deserves caustic soda rammed up his ass
Jordan Parker
So, when are Burroughs, Verlaine, Nabokov, Celine, and Ginsberg going to be pulled off shelves?
Joshua Nguyen
Milo is a product of "msm". They successfully dumbed people down to the extent that they use celebrities instead of academics, journalists, novelists etc for their worldview.
If it wasn't for the ((msm)) Milo would be sucking dick in an alleyway or working in Barnes and nobles. Hypocrisy
Charles Gomez
Stop blaming the media. Academics, journalist and novelists did it to themselves, specially Academics, they became so unrelatable and detached from reality its pure agony when said media tries to bring them centre stage.
Brayden Murphy
When they become opportunistic trolls who write extraordinarily, instead of just plain bad-books.
Don't compare Milo to them you guilible, illiterate pleb.
Matthew Cook

Grayson Cooper
Get off this board
Jaxson Barnes
Nope. (((Msm))) has been systematically dumbing the bewildered herd down so that plebs like Milo seem like plausible social commentators.
Do you expect quantum physicists to be relatable to your average retard? Then why humanity professors?
If an adult spends a lifetime restricted to a diet of crushed pears and applesauce why would you expect them to understand spinoza?.......there's nothing new in plebs not being able to understand words with more than two syllables. It's not a recent conspiracy
You have to go back to where you came from......

Of course not.
please dont tell chris hitchens
Ian Baker
Calling Vidal a "hack" would be disrespectful. He was very well-read and thoughtful. Orders of magnitude better than the morons we have commentating today.
Samuel Ramirez
You have a containment board....Milo isn't Veeky Forums...despite his cringeworthy cv (which was written as an adult.....not a teen)
Jonathan Evans
I'm a big Vidal fan.

>Do you expect quantum physicists to be relatable to your average retard? Then why humanity professors? They're dealing with subjects important to the conscious experience of everyday life, and their work may go on to influence policy relating to everyday life. Because of that, humanities academics shouldn't act so surprised when people resent them for their work.
Benjamin King
I would too but I'm kind of scraping the barrel over here.
Tyler Bennett
They shut his book deal down because he's a-ok with pedo NAMBLA shit. Do you not read the news?
Nathaniel Sullivan
>They're dealing with subjects important to the conscious experience of everyday life, and their work may go on to influence policy relating to everyday life That's not exclusive to humanities academics, user. They aren't special.
Adrian Walker
He wanted it to be cancelled in order to get more attention. He's just ripping off Tucker Max. Stop responding to shill threads.
Matthew Turner
What is unique is the contempt for the general population that exudes their work and their lack of meaningful attempts to make engage with them.
They're welcome to do it, and some of their work might even require it. They just shouldn't complain when they're misunderstood or when misinformation about their work is readily accepted by the public.
Nathaniel Bennett
I see no misunderstanding, the public accepts their work and academics don't complain about that. I don't get why they should engage the public more. Do you mean going on talk shows and the like?
Nathan Hill
I bet it'd be like fucking an ice swan; cold, still, completely silent.
I'm willing to bet her style of fucking is "lay there and stare at the ceiling without moving".
Kayden Harris
People don't realize Trump IS the deep state. Over time he has conformed more to them, not the other way around. The deep state is factional though (James Comey forced by pro-Trump CIA into hurting Hillary before the election, anti-Trump CIA forcing Flynn to resign)
Liam Garcia
>(((they))) are doing a divide & conquer tactic to confuse /pol/ over a literally who faggot >/pol/ follows (((their))) plan anyway What a bunch of retards. /pol/ should be doing more raidfaggotry instead of fighting because of a shit book.
Michael Fisher
>I see no misunderstanding, the public accepts their work and academics don't complain about that Then why have bizarre interpretations of Marxism and postmodernism managed to pervade the thought of half of the political spectrum? It is part of the reason some hack like Milo gets so popular. >I don't get why they should engage the public more. I think the public is entitled to know about the work powerful institutions do about things relevant to their conscious everyday experience. It is also necessary to combat the anti-intellectualism that is so prevalent (and entirely justified because of the relation of the general public to academia and the educational system) in our culture. >Do you mean going on talk shows and the like? I don't know how it should be done. That's the tough part.
Julian Bell
Let's not forget that humanities academics are not social workers who need to engage with the public in a meaningful manner in order to do their work, they are social scientists that publish papers that are readily available to the public. I agree that something needs to be mended and that fighting anti-intellectualism is key. I can't blame the academics themselves for their isolation from society because I think the disconnection may be a product of the educational system itself.
Connor Perez
Do you want his dick in your ass? Looks like Will Self with a cheap wig.
Michael Smith
Gotta love how journalist and publication companies have no understanding of bipartisanship. You have to wonder what muckrakers like Upton Sinclair would say about modern media's yellow journalism and censorship.
Jonathan Wilson
His contention with Norman Mailer was a beautiful thing to read and watch. Tbh I think he was jealous that Mailer was such a fucking alpha who scrapped with Rip Torn but still wrote like an angel.

>Let's not forget that humanities academics are not social workers who need to engage with the public in a meaningful manner in order to do their work, they are social scientists that publish papers that are readily available to the public. I don't think availability is the best type of engagement that would be helpful. The public doesn't have the tools to engage with it directly, and there are many people out there who are able to spin it in a way that is compelling enough that people are willing to believe it. there s probably a point where engaging with the public would distract them from their research, and that would be even worse. Perhaps we just need some major improvement in our public intellectuals. >I agree that something needs to be mended and that fighting anti-intellectualism is key. I can't blame the academics themselves for their isolation from society because I think the disconnection may be a product of the educational system itself. I agree. A high quality education is inaccessible to a so many people. The best way to fix these problems is major educational reform, and while that may happen under this administration, it won't be of the beneficial variety. I guess it is wrong to blame them, but there is more they could be doing, and everyone will need to do more in the next few years.

I think you Foucault will be pleased that he proved his point.
Nicholas Lee
Clearly you arent a regular here, there have been thoughtful, interesting discussions of Bannon and his philosophy and reading habits recently to the point where I can concede many of his concerns regarding traditionalism.
Milo's garbage isnt intellectual or literary. He should get a twitch channel and cook all day while spewing rhetoric, it would make him bank and appeal to his core audience..
Chase Lopez
I didn't know Milo had any actual skills. He's pretty patrician desu

Paedophilia is one of the last great taboos.
Lefties/Liberals go fucking mental over it to atone for their moral relativism in everything else.
When it comes up, it provides one of the few opportunities to 'prove' they have a spine.
Brody Anderson
>"liberals" are defined by moral relativism and get more triggered by pedos than anything else What world do you live in. Progressives are moral relativists in name only, not in practice
Ethan Watson
I said "one of" the last great taboos. There are several others.
Setting aside gay marriage/open borders/etc, about which they're very dogmatic, they're bourgeois bohemians who will rationalize/excuse almost anything.
Liam Jones
>didn't talk to a qt conservative waif
You do know she's easily manipulated then right? Like clay in your hands, you could have made her into a Veeky Forums loving woman with little effort.
You fucked up.
Kevin Bennett
your pic related is a damn shame. I'm not gay but Nick used to be quite the qt
Levi Richardson
How do you not? They're a company and it is totally normal for publishers who are working in political writing to focus on their sect of it when selection material to publish.
But that's not even why he was rejected, the publishing company agreed with him for the most part; otherwise why pretend a man who's only credential is "I annoyed people on twitter" has any ability to write a book? He represented their ideals and was newsworthy at the moment enough for it to sell. Heck, they probably especially want him for being gay, because every politically charged group is obsessed with diversity, admit it for not.
No, the reason his book was dropped was because of the kiddy fucking.

Lol no, they are pro-pedo. It's just a tool to tarnish Milo (for them, Milo is however revolting).

They are with respect to other cultures, they have allways fought judgement of other cultures as bad. They are moral relativists when it comes to muslims and blacks essentially.

this is the conservative mind in action - if vaguely left people don't like something it must be right. next up, sticking your dick in a blender.

Besides, it's not conservatives fighting tooth and nail to get the age of consent lowered, never mind tolerating/promoting sex at younger and younger ages.
