This is absolutely critical,
essential reading. I think I know everything, that I'm inured to everything: I read this investigative article with dropped jaw. Three things leap out at me;
Firstly, that the links between Milo, Bannon, and the American neo-nazi & white supremacist movements are now undeniable;
Secondly, that the diseases of misogyny and racism are frighteningly widespread in the tech/media nexus even among its more liberal members. The editor of Vice's women's channel sicced Milo on a 'fat feminist', a Slate.com tech writer emailed regular tips about Anita Sarkeesian's lovelife to Breitbart, a
Silicon Valley writer jokily speculated with him that Zoe Quinn might be trans. These people paid lip-service to a somewhat anti-Gamergate position while gleefully keeping one foot dangling in the swamp that birthed it;
Finally, I am stunned by the appallingly uneven ground that the 2016 election was fought on. Clinton's campaign emails were hacked, leaked, and dissected for conspiracy theory fodder about cannibalistic rituals and child sex rings.
Simultaneously, the Trump campaign's chief executive brought together shady billionaires, twitter trolls, and neo-nazis to launch a new white supremacist movement, but faced no real media scrutiny for doing so.
