‘I have lost everything’: Milo Yiannopoulos throws very satisfying Facebook tantrum

The alt-right’s token gay Milo Yiannopoulos has lashed out at fans on his Facebook page after they criticised him for dining lavishly with his husband.
Yiannopoulos, who has been linked with white supremacist and neo-Nazi groups, last year encouraged Australians to vote No just months after marrying an unidentified man himself on the basis of safeguarding religious freedom.
The self-professed troll travelled to Australia late last year for a controversial speaking tour, with supporters at his Melbourne event clashing with protestors forcing police to intervene.
It was reported in July that Yiannopoulos had yet to pay the $50,000 bill sent to him over the additional police presence.
This unpaid debt is referenced in his Facebook screed, which he begins by saying he has spent “literally millions of dollars trying to do talks, speeches, events, rallies and protests”.
“A lot of that money was my own wealth, from before I even started in journalism.
“My events almost never happen. It’s protests, or sabotage from Republican competitors or social media outcries. Every time, it costs me tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars,” he wrote.
He called out his followers for not getting sufficiently outraged when he is dropped from events over platforming racist, homophobic and transphobic views, and for not defending the likes of noted conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who believes the Sandy Hook shooting massacre was faked.
“My annual security bill amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars – just so my husband and I don’t get killed going for sushi,” Yiannopoulos continued.
“I have to make that money somehow just to stay afloat, and that doesn’t scratch the surface of staff costs, insurance, your insane American taxes.
“I’ve fought bitterly and endlessly for freedom in a country I don’t even belong to – not for my benefit, but for yours,” he said.
“I was a significant factor in Donald Trump getting elected, for which I have received zero credit.
“For my trouble, I have lost everything standing up for the truth in America, spent all my savings, destroyed all my friendships, and ruined my whole life.
“At some point you realise it’s occasionally better to spend the money on crabs and cocktails.”
A screenshot of the comment went viral across Twitter, including being shared by a popular anti-racism twitter account who point out that it’s an example of how “deplatforming white supremacists” can be effective.
“Deplatforming white supremacists will only make them louder and stronger”

The comment came not long after he had posted screenshots of tweets from Molly Tibbetts, a young woman who was alleged murdered by an undocumented immigrant in the U.S., criticising Donald Trump with the caption, “ENJOY HELL, MOLLIE!”

“You guys have no idea what I have sacrificed for you, and you think just because I drown my sorrows with a few expensive bottles of wine, you’re justified in calling me lazy and self-involved,” he says towards the end of the comment.
Yiannopoulos has announced a joint tour of Australia for November with Fox News pundit Ann Coulter, who last year suggested the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey in Texas was “God’s punishment” for Houston electing an out lesbian as mayor.
I maintain that ignoring these cretins does in fact make them go away and that harassing them to the point of high security costs doesn’t really reflect that well on those of us who are into, you know, tolerance.
Any idiot without a decency filter can become an alt-right superhero, but the alt-right only recognise the real talent when the left kicks up a fuss. That’s how they know who to pay money to. Ignore it and the alt-right will only be left with only the stupidest and most easily refuted rising to the top of their sewage tank.
Milo Yiannopolous reminds me of that turd in the toilet which goes round and round but refuses to be flushed away.
Meow… meow
This is why I will always belive good prevails and being evil never works out for anyone purrr purr purrr…
I dont think he has lost quite enough yet but I did enjoy reading about this filth’s pain.
Karma is a real biatch

Act.
That’s basically all it was and Milo. Talking about being gay
Would I go again no. The ticket. Was a gift as. My son went and ask me to go his wife could not go He paid for the tickets. And my daughter also went
It was. NOT even funny comedy act
Every thing he promised to talk about
He never did. So we got taken for our money
Too How does it feel. Milo.
He’s a piece of work and needs to go away…
Oh dear… can I love this?
“For my trouble, I have lost everything standing up for the truth in America, spent all my savings, destroyed all my friendships, and ruined my whole life.”
Linked to Neo Nazism? Is every internet article mandated to include such opening lines?
Nice try to paint someone before the main “article”.
Milo Yiannopoulos is white trash in trendy clothes. A self-loathing, narcissistic nobody. Common as a cockroach but not nearly as nice.
Having money doesn’t mean you’re anything special– it just means you have some money. BFD, Milo.
You’re still a pathetic excuse for a human being. Enjoy your SSM, you traitorous pr*ck.
