Milo Yiannopoulos.
Discussion
I've seen a few of his videos. IMO he's a very smart guy, he's also an arrogant bully who delights in 'destroying' interviewers, who to be fair usually deserve it. I think the comparison above with Russell Brand was quite a good one although Milo is vastly more influential (or dangerous, take your pick). The left despise him because they had absolutely no idea how to deal with him; straight, white, American man, easy; he's a Nazi. Gay, Jewish, libertarian immigrant with perportedly a history of black boyfriends; fvcking system failure. He doesn't exist in the illiberal playbook for the hard of thinking. Racist! Xenophobe! Homophobic! Nazi! Nope doesn't shut him up. Peado! Well they got there in the end. Just in time for him to make a few extra million from his book. If the original (unedited) comments hadn't been out there for a year already I'd have put money on him orchestrating this whole thing.

I always feel slightly grubby when I agree with something JO'B or KH says. That said I don't see O'Brien as a troll in the same way as Hopkins. She takes a deliberately controversial position on a subject, often creating the subject herself. He reacts to her (or Farage's etc.) position and takes the opposite view. You get the feeling sometimes neither truly believes what they're saying but they feel compelled to say it to keep their stock high.
As you say they're opposite sides of the same coin, a coin that tbh should be thrown down a well.
Indeed, one of the best bits of her ill thought out rantings was on Phil Schofield's show. As you say they're opposite sides of the same coin, a coin that tbh should be thrown down a well.

I agree. But with the slight difference that Brand is not even in the same ball park intelligence wise. Brand doesn't have arguments or facts to back up his claim. He's a typical lefty (like we see in here occasionally) They spout and accuses those who don't share their view to be racists Nazis etc. The never back up their opinions. And anyone that counters them with actual facts from decent sources is instantly dismissed.Regarding James O Brian, he's not a troll imo. He's just a typical sanctimonious far lefty. I sometimes agree with him. But I daresay the far left would never agree with someone who considers himself centre right like me

That's the standard "wheres my sandwich" nonsense. Not sure it counts as misogynistic though. Poor taste I grant you. But no woman I want to associate with would ever be offended by it. Most would see it as a sh? I'm waiting", t joke and tell me to fk off.

"feminism is cancer",
Modern feminism may not be Cancer. But it is VERY toxic. And does preoccupy itself with misandry and Social justice/virtue signalling far more than actual womens issues. You NEVER hear modern feminists talk about FGM or the rights of women in Arab countries. No, they complain about man spreading or inventing the myth about the wage gap.Dindoit said:
"abused women should log off" etc.
It's a point of view. People who abuse women needlessly online will only do so if there is a reaction by that woman. If you ignore them it hurts even more. HOWEVER. Note the word needlessly. Some women do actually deserve ire/castigation or mocking for their views or actions. Just like some men do.
Recently a video I watched of a British girls YT channel is where she is talking about her love life and how its crap and how she's essentially waiting for a multi millionaire to come and take her away. She's worth it, She shouldn't settle just because she's been single for years and is now hurtling towards her mid 30s and wants kids. she may not have said those phrases but it's obvious to anyone watching.
The sort of a narcissism some women have developed these days. She's not actually bringing anything to the table but her looks. (which I like, but appreciate not everyone will) Shes not clever or quirky or even that successful. But assumes someone way out her league is out there waiting for her. (And yes we see this with Guys too)
People criticised her, some more expressively than I would accept, for being a moron. But she said it was terrible the online abuse she was receiving. YouTube is terrible etc etc. When she has no idea how idiotically she has portrayed herself.

It's a point of view. The whole Ghostbusters thing was a case in point. Actress in question had previously asked her fans to attack her critics online. Which is exactly what Milo, if not directly asked for, didn't exactly quash it when it happened.
If words are weapons. Then best make sure your own vocabulary is beyond reproach.

I'm unclear how being anti feminist makes you a misogynist given that there are male feminists and actually only a small minority of women admit to being a feminist in the U.K. (Circa 7% IIRC).As for misogynist look up ..............., "feminism is cancer", ................ etc.
Feminism is an ideology, and being against that ideology doesn't make anybody a misogynist it just means you are against feminism.
Being called a misogynyst is of course the standard attack response of feminists who are triggered if anybody disagreees with them or says anything against their ideology. But like a lot of what feminists say, it's wrong.
The feminism comment, since you snipped out the other references, is simply an example of his attitude towards women. He doesn't attack radical feminists, the type anyone but a radical feminist hates, he puts anyone, man (beta cucks) or woman, standing up for women's issues into one big bag and labels it cancer.
He doesn't address issues. He's lazy and just calls them fat
"They check ID for alcohol purchases if you look younger than 35, but do they weigh feminists before serving them venti frappuchinos? No.
Some cancer sufferers smoke medicinal marijuana to help with their appetite. Feminists, of course, don’t need any help with their appetite."
Ugly
"Just because they can’t get any sex, they want the rest of us to have deserts down there too
College may turn you into an extremely unloveable woman."
Or fat and ugly
"College may quadruple your body piercings and quintuple your BMI."
