The Left has absolutely lost the plot

With everything happening in the world today, the Left has chosen to expend their energy on trying to get a conservative journalist’s book canned. Sigh.

Listening to unconvincing words drip like a broken tap from Malcolm Turnbull’s mouth in his New Year’s speech, I’m not sure anyone in Australia felt confident.

The blood-soaked terror attack in Istanbul swiftly confirmed any glimmer of belief we held in remaining safe and secure was premature.

In the face of such horror, the insipid Left has launched a new comedy show. They’re squealing to boycott publisher Simon & Schuster as it confirmed Milo Yiannopoulos, far right journalist and speaker, has signed a book deal reportedly worth $US250,000.

Yes, this cat and mouse cartoon is how they choose to expend their energy.

It’s entertaining already. Pre-orders have pushed his autobiography, Dangerous, out in March, to the top of Amazon’s bestseller lists in America and Canada.

Leftie howling has managed publicity as slickly as their outrage over screenings of Cassie Jaye’s The Red Pill documentary secured awareness.

The many who dismiss Yiannopoulos as an internet-based agitator and troll would do well to remember he’s a senior editor at Breitbart News, the most-read conservative website in America. Former chief executive Steve Bannon has been appointed Trump’s chief strategist. Ignore Yiannopoulos’s influence at your peril.

The global mood ensures the more the Left whines, the better his book will sell — and Milo mania will thrive.

On Sunday, Yiannopoulos posted on his increasingly popular Facebook page, which recently cracked one million followers: “When I got banned from Twitter, my UK literary agent dropped me, essentially telling me I was untouchable. Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you can’t make it. You can.”

Cue roaring applause from “deplorables” who are sick of being told they’re failures and fools.

While hypocrisy and outrage spew from the mouths of the Left, the Right becomes increasingly determined.

If you look at Yiannopoulos’s Facebook page and find nothing amusing, you are part of the reason the Right is rising. One significant part of that reason is the attempted stifling and silencing of people with senses of humour.

You don’t have to agree with everything he says or stands for to recognise him as an articulate breath of fresh air. If you’re suffering from Snowflake Syndrome, it may be wise to spend some time here to toughen up.

On Saturday he summed it up perfectly, writing: “It’s all over, social justice warriors. Twitter mobs don’t work any more. And some publishers, newspapers and maybe even soon entertainment studios are going to be brave enough to start taking risks and ignoring the liars, frauds and crackpots of the noisy activist Left. They are realising what we have known for some time: there are more normal people than SJWs, and the normal people have had enough.”

One of his many followers commented: “I preordered three copies; one for me, another for my boyfriend and the third to throw at my angry lesbian feminist sister’s head. I’m so glad they’re hardbacks.”

A perfect example of the frothing warring of the two worlds came this weekend.

A Fairfax columnist suggested feminists stop using the word “mansplain” in order to become more likeable and influential.

Doesn’t that just show how far up their arrogant ivory towers they’ve climbed? My dears, banning “mansplaining” isn’t going to help you. You’re focusing on one leaf when we see a forest of issues. You’ve zoomed in on microscopic linguistic detail when the real problem is your entire hateful feminist ideology.

The ferocious control the PC-Fem brigade now has over everyday life is undeniable. Perth pub the Brass Monkey Hotel was absolutely crucified and forced to apologise for using “explicit” banners to promote a frat-themed party to be held on January 1.

Don’t you see? This is why your cause is being rejected; it has nothing to do with intellectual superiority or linguistics. Rather, you have forced the entire population to erase its sense of humour. We’re not allowed to have fun anymore. We’re burnt at the stake for daring to laugh at sexist jokes.

This was a themed party. Does there really need to be mass hysteria over banners reading, “Drop your freshman daughters off here” and “Drop panties not bombs”? Did Shane Warne’s saucy “Back to School” themed New Year’s Eve party offend you too?

This unrelenting outrage is boosting the appeal of the right — and has helped secure Yiannopoulos’s lucrative book deal.

Talk about “mansplaining” all you like, we’re not listening. You’re talking a different language and your entire world view is unrelatable.
