Milo Y is to political philosophy what Ken Ham is to biology. He should be allowed to say what he wants, but not as a campus speaker.

I think if you try to dismiss certain ideas, however extreme, you just end up pushing them underground or out of sight.

Milo's ideas aren't going to go away if nobody gives him a platform. What you will get is less criticism of his ideas.

Are you saying he has none? He's very anti-identity politics for one thing. He's edgy and offensive but he does have ideas.

his ideas are just tools of propping up his own fame as a troll. Come on, you KNOW how much good arguing w/ trolls does.

Oh, I'm not saying his motivations aren't transparent, but he's very good at appealing to anti-SJWs by the things he says.

I think the ideas should be discussed, but not in the presence of Milo

Well, as I said, do that and he'll just claim to be a big threat and do the whole free speech/censorship thing that he does.
