Milo Yiannopoulos’s latest online venture will make lives of progressives ‘a living hell’ – The Daily Dot

MiloYiannopoulos has seemingly laid low in the months following his departure from far-right onlinepublication Breitbart amid his comments on pedophiles, but in the time since, he says hes already bankrolled millionsoff his provocative (leaning toward offensive) conservativestances.

On Friday,Yiannopoulos announced the launch of hismedia startup venture geared toward promoting conservativism and free speech while bashing anyone to the left of his far-right views. The business, MILOInc., will be based in Miami with a staff of 30, and itll act as a conservative talentpool of libertarian and conservative comedians, writers, stand-up comics, intellectuals, and more, YiannopoulostoldVanity Fairs the Hive.

And the best part? Yiannopouloss goal of thecompany, which has already raised $12 million from anonymous donors, is to contribute to his newfound pledge to use every waking moment of the rest of [his]life making the lives of journalists, professors, politicians, feminists, Black Lives Matter activists, and other professional victims a living hell.

This isnt some vanity nameplate on a personal blog, Yiannopolous saidin the press release. This is a fully tooled-up talent factory and management company dedicated to the destruction of political correctness and the progressive left.

MILOInc. will kick off its dive into conservative media with a livestreamed party dedicated to promoting Yiannopolouss new book on May 5, the event offensively named Cinco de Milo, a parody of the Mexican holiday.

MILO Inc. will also congregateatU.C. Berkeley, where its foundersspeech from earlier this year led tomassive rioting,for what Yiannopolous calls a week-long celebration of free speech. At the event, theyll hand out their inaugural Mario Savio Award for Free Speech, named after one of the leaders of Berkeleys Free Speech movement in the 1960s. Savios son has called the award some kind of sick joke.

Currently Yiannopoulos is MILO Inc.s main talent, basically meaning that the right-wing provocateur talkedinvestors intogiving himmillions to continue spreadinghis own progressive-hating rhetoric. But he told the Hive that he has access to an undiscovered talent pipeline of YouTubers and other bashers of political correctness, and he plans to expand MILO Inc. to include other of these personalities.

Essentially, it sounds like Yiannopoulos is looking to pump MILO Inc. withTomi Lahrens to his Glenn Beck (pre-pro-choice comments, of course)someone who is young, opinionated, and parrots his own set of ideals better than he does.

This generation thats coming up now have very different politics than most other generations. They love us. They love me, and Im going to be actively hunting around for the next Milo, Yiannopoulos said.
