Anil DashOne thing I think about sometimes is the time a decade or so ago when the editor of the MIT Tech Review scolded me for being critical of Milo Yiannopolis because Milo “went to a good school” (some British shit that probably means a lot to them but I can’t even remember what it was) and therefore couldn’t actually be awful. That was one of those turning points where I realized I would never actually get elevated to a certain level of culture or visibility, and I was quite content with that.
(It was Jason Pontin, who of course inevitably rode his journalistic failures into becoming a VC, following the path paved by fellow shitbird white supremacist apologist Jason Calacanis.)
chris brockettAnyway, one thing I can tell you really definitively is that these guys are very, very afraid of anyone who is not at all afraid of them.
This came up in an unrelated search but man these shitbirds really count on people not keeping receipts.
Steve Silberman@anildash Before anyone knew who Milo was, he sent me a friend request on Facebook, which I accepted because Jason was a mutual friend. I unfollowed him almost immediately because he was posting hyper-racist erotica.
Pax Ahimsa Gethen"But he can't be racist, he married a black guy!" 🙄
Tim Panton@anildash The whole 'good school' thing has now been comprehensively (:-)) trashed by the damage the Eton boys have done to the UK. (also Milo went to the 3rd best fee paying school in a small city - so your man was wrong on all counts !)
Matþew Bowles@steely_glint @anildash not even fee paying, relatively bog standard Grammar, roughly on a par with where I went which impresses no one
Plus it's been proven repeatedly English fee charging schools are merely good at getting someone into a good uni, where they normally massively underperform
(Vehemently agreeing with you in case it comes across wrong)
Dropped out of one uni, expelled from another, not a good advert
Scott Perry@anildash The cowardice of people with something to lose
