I'm seeing people recirculating the canard that Milo Yiannopoulos was undone by deplatforming -- one of the silliest opinions in a world soaked to the core with silly opinions. Twas Milo himself, not deplatforming, killed the beast.https://jessesingal.substack.com/p/no-platforming-didnt-wreck-milo-milo …
Good illustration of how placebo effect generally works. People get sick, then they get better. Often they think that got better explicitly because of some treatment. Milo was a rash that flared up and then disappeared, which is almost always what rashes do
