The witchhunt against Milo is a disgrace for Western democracy.

How can you cancel a whole book because of just one statement even if it was abhorrable (it wasn't). Scandal.

What does a critiscism against him has to do with democracy? Is he running for office? In a democracy you have the right to criticize anyone, whether you are right or wrong. So what is the disgrace?

Democracy is associated with a high level of free speech. One of the biggest threats in Western society today is the attack against free speech.

With Milo now all hell breaks lose because people misinterpret him on purpose because of something he said.

It's a huge democracy problem. Certain opposing opinions are heavily oppressed, often enacted by widescale media witch hunts.

I don't imagine for a second that these people care about what he actually said or about victims of pedophilia in this context. They just see Milo, being an extremely charismatic person, as a huge threat and they use this only to hurt his career.
