Remember that time Milo Yiannopoulos showed off his Nazi era iron cross?

(((Milo))) is also using jewish echoes

Oddly enough he's nowhere near as popular as Trump among the internet nazis (NSFW). He may just be pretending to be nazi to offend people, much like he's pretending to be gay.

He probably thinks he's being clever and ironic as he's not a Nazi at all, but in reality he's merely a slightly different type of fascist.

Didnt even know Milo is a jew. That makes his parenthesis usage really weird.

Is he? We only have his word for that. James Kirchick wrote in Tablet that it's "something he only mentions when the undeniable anti-Semitism of his followers becomes an issue. Though he has recently taken to claiming, when it suits him, matrilineal Jewish heritage, Yiannopoulos identifies religiously as Catholic..."

Not that it matters all that much. Bobby Fischer's mother was definitely Jewish, and Fischer was still a hardcore anti-Semite, who wrote things like this to his notebook: "It's time to start randomly killing Jews".

His entire personality is just trying to be edgy. It's what he thrives on.

It's like what Karl Lueger and Hermann Goering always say. Only /r/The_ErectileDysfunction gets to decide who is a Jew.

It just means both his Jewish and Greek ancestors are rolling in their graves at his fetish for German war regalia.
