But if a principle 1 holds *is* the support of others rights, regardless of their own principles, it's simply a self-conflict. Gymnastics?

Yes, when people aren't satisfied with saying 'I support your right to do this thing' but feel they must support the thing itself.

This is the 'right to choice' and 'rightness of choice' conflation I am talking about.

Not just 'I support your right to wear a burqa' but supporting gender-specific modesty codes in 1 culture that you'd normally condemn.

"incendiary" speech. Its motivations are simply too questionable. Like climate-denial

Milo isn't hateful though. He's using ridicule and parody as a weapon against modern day "feminism". Atheists do the same against faith

In fact I would say Milos largest audience are feminists who flock to disrupt him, making him more popular, and play the victim over words.

I ignore atheists who use mockery to try and disrupt the communication.If all people of faith did we could have a serious 2 pronged dialogue

Many have argued for ignoring Milo too.
