As a matter of fact, his book skyrocketed on Amazon after the rioting. That gives Milo more money to continue his tour. The rioting has simply not worked and instead, backfired. Not only does it encourages Milo even more, but it also drives other people away from the left. Anyone who got mugged or whose property got damaged aren't going to side with the anti-Milo rioters. |
It's like the "what if they no-platformed Hitler?!" people forget that Weimar Germany had hate speech laws and it only played into the Nazis' hands when they were prosecuted for violating them.
