Can someone with enough clout start talking about projection? And make this a national debate, an international debate? For fucks sake, this is ridiculous.

^^^^
This sort of bully-boy shit is a result of idiots letting parties get out of control in the suburbs. She saw this event and thought she had another couple of suburban parents she could intimidate because their idiot teenage kids let a party get out of control or couldn't keep out the yobs who go cruising to cause trouble at backyard events. That's the sort of situation where the police go around issuing bills for their attendance. Particularly noticeable by its absence is any mention of an actual formed contract. Hope they've got that assurance of no costs on e-mail or on paper.

I'm glad he's finally gotten around to launching his own website. He should have done that immediately after leaving Breitbart. Hopefully he hasn't irreparably lost his momentum; I disagree with his lifestyle choices but he still served as a useful tool in the fight against postmodernism in 2014-16.

Milo's lawsuit against Simon & Schuster, his former publisher, has inadvertently made public the editor's pre-scandal notes on the draft of his book 'Dangerous'. I can see why they couldn't work together.

Followed the link and read this. The editors sound like out of touch feminists from the 70's.
They seem to have no idea why Milo is popular or even who he is. They sound like a liberal at a Ben Shapiro talk trying to criticize him when they have no facts or perspective, only party line SJW talking points.
They write as if traditional publishing still has some sort of authority and they are handing down unassailable judgments from a literary Olympus.
Out of touch. Out of tune. SJW attempt at a derail.
Sad.

You have to remember where the publishing establishment comes from. These are people who have bachelor's degrees and more from elite schools--Harvard, Bennington, Williams, etc. Most of them are on the lunatic fringe of the left. A lot of them are also women. Of course, each one will hire a token conservative or two. And they will be more middle than conservative.
I don't expect any of them to understand Milo.

This publishing house
is token conservatism, they publish empty shell 00s AM talk radio conservative shills like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh.
To a certain extent, Milo is also a token conservative, because while his opinions aren't 100% kosher, his degenerate persona is an embodiment of cultural marxism.

I have never been involved in publishing but I am surprised an editor would write comments in such a style. They are written very personally and not in a professional way.
I am sure many first drafts of manuscripts are terrible so the substance of the comments aren't surprising. However if i was an author I'd be offended at the judgmental and demeaning tone used in many of the comments. They come across as very personally critical rather than professional critique of the work.
All that being said though, I did buy and read Milo's book and I can't say it's terribly good. I hope his next one is better.
I saw it described as "at best, a superficial work full of incendiary jokes with no coherent or sophisticated analysis of political issues" and to be honest, that's quite an apt description.

Actually, despite liking Milo’s attitude toward the establishment, his book is fucking terrible & I couldn’t get thru more than a chapter & a half before I was saying to myself everything it turns out his editor was too.
It’s fucking terrible, self aggrandising rubbish & even more gratuitous than the shit he spouts off in public.

I can very much imagine that his book is bad. It seems to have been written while he was riding the wave of his rising popularity at full speed late 2016/1st half of 2017 and was overstretching the "depraved gay" shtick more and more. For a while it seemed as even he himself didn't understand what people liked him for. Unlike what he claims, it's definitely not primarily for the offensive and crude anti-liberal jokes coupled with flamboyant gay shit. That may get you laughs from college-aged millennials but not real recognition. People liked him because when it mattered, he was (and still is) a very competent speaker and debater and did best when he combined that with easy charm and a light touch of "BTW I'm gay" that didn't cross the line to full on self-referential fag theatrics. His appearance on Maher was his low point. Awful and cringeworthy.
Then the whole scandal, cancelled book deal etc seemingly brought him back to earth for a while, but it's still hard to say whether he learned from it. He did have some good interviews recently, but he also said he's writing a book about the Hollywood sex scandals now which just seems like another attempt at cashing in on public sentiment.

I think it's hard for someone with this style to accurately translate that into a book and I don't think it's a style that really works for a book.
For his books at least he should concentrate on the substance of his viewpoints and put forward his logical arguments but in a way that is lighter, interesting and accessible for the sub-35 audience which is his main fan base.
