And he got treated well in comparison to the other detainees.

Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

Seriously, he was sent to his country of origin fairly quickly. And now he's feeling sorry for himself instead of the people dying of medical neglect in detention centres and being shipped off to a fucking Venezuelan labour camp.
An milking it again for clout. That fucko was gone from tge media circus and now sees a way in again
Or an African prison
And he got the VIP treatment of not going to an actual camp for months on end.
I’d say this is a great time for him to reflect and change his ways but after a week he’s gonna go back to his same old grift.
People like this are incapable of self awareness
It won't be the same grift. It will be slightly different.
Edit: Got up to an uncontroversial 66:0, so I'm undistinguishing so real comments can shine.
If this comment gets to or above +50 net upvotes, I'll pin this to the top of the community for a week. What an amazing, special specimen of LAMF. (Not farming upvotes; just trying to make sure I'm not BDFL'ing by unilaterally playing favorites. Was going to ask about this on the Reuters post, but it critically lacked Milo's reaction.)
“I didn’t really understand the physical reality of how institutionalised the brutality is in America,” Yiannopoulos said.
“ICE is supposed to be deporting criminals,” he said. “And they’re not doing that.”
“I think maybe, in the past, I’ve been a little bit blase when people talked about their trauma,” he said. “But I get it now, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.”
If only there was a way to know and acknowledge these things without having to personally experience them.
Conservatives are completely incapable of empathizing. They just cannot do it. Therefore, in order to make them understand, should they be subjected to all of the trauma they subjected to others to?
It makes more sense to me if I think of him as literally having no actual beliefs. He found a way to profit from Nazi propaganda so he does that. He probably has just considered himself immune to any of these issues until now, because he's rich and (in)famous.
It's part of the indoctrination of high-control systems, to obey out of fear of punishment, as they were treated. It's their turn to punch down!
So non-white and kids suffer for the last few years, non were asked to speak about how terrifying it is, but when a white dude experience it, now he need to be interviewed and his voice need to be heard!
Usual conservative take, ignorant of the realities they directly create and when subjected to them, suddenly become indignant (of that specific issue). Utterly incapable of empathy, only able to experience a tightly scoped simulacrum of it when they become the one under the gun. They delight in the misery of others they target, then suddenly indignant when it's visited upon them...complete human boat anchor trash..
Milo received a small part of what he advocated visiting on the undesirables.
That said, there is something to this story. He pissed off some maga aligned bigwig. He also repudiated prez in 2020 or something. Then went on a crusade to pull the catholics to the right, despite being gay, he lied about having not being gay anymore around 2020 when he did that.
He also repudiated prez in 2020 or something.
He's not even "repudiating prez" now.
"To think that the promise and hope and joy and the anticipation of Trump 2016 could, sort of, over the course of 10 years, collapse into this ugly, warmongering, whole mentally ill heap of crazy with some of the most unstable and lunatic people, seemingly directing the president's actions."
Good tsar, bad boyars. This demonstrates that he still has hopes for an "in" and is still completely full of shit.
In any dictatorship, any criticism is directed at subordinates of the leader, and couched in terms that the great leader does not know this villainy is afoot.
The maga conspirators seem to all think the country is more corrupt than it is. Yet.
Typical fucking selfish person. I had no idea how it was until it happened to me. Can we learn a bit more empathy?
What a fragile snowflake
It is in the American character to just not listen to other people and what they have to say. Americans didn't care what the natives had to say. Americans didn't care what the Vietnamese had to say. Americans didn't care what the communists had to say. They didn't care what Iraqis had to say. So no fucking wonder he didn't care what immigrants have to say about ICE.
It's a history of punching down on others, in families, supernatural systems, military, sports, right-wing etc all the way up to the wealthy owners, that still benefit from the systems today.
Milo is NOT American, hence the deportation by ICE...
That’s not uniquely American. Maybe it’s in the capitalist’s character?
👆
I hope he was terrified.
He’s made a career out of being terrified, so I don’t expect him to change.
He ain't seen nothing yet.
He was lucky enough to have the privilege of not doing to one of their concentration camps.
I hoped he would get it worse. “Terrified” is not enough.
Now show us on the doll where the leopard touched you Milo
Good.
Lol. Oh but I'm not a baddie why did they treat me so?
Good
He got sent to the UK, others go to places they've never been, and it's all deplorable use of money to hurt people.
They voted to bring,
Suffering to the whole world,
Trillions spent to hurt
“Fire claims that it loves gasoline”
"'It hurts a lot more than it looks like on television,' he said."
tee hee alarm ringing nonstop
Dare I say kek
Hahaha,poor pos
It's funny, I haven't seen a single person saying good another defector. Like with others some defend them coming over against the worse guys. Not with him.
You cannot please the leopards. Not even if you help in starting the youth chapter of Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.
TBF, the far-right already experimented with attempting to convert gamers to fascism, there are even nazi and even some "I swear I'm not a nazi, I'm a centrist with negative racial experiences" games.
Poor baby
