He's not a realist - he's a rightwing variant of an SJW.
It's patently absurd that you can't recognize that they both use the same playbook. You decry "SJWs" for their behavior, then embrace it's ideological mirror. You're attempting to have it "both ways".

He's a realist. He calls it likes he sees it. I like that in a person. Plus, he is well aware of numerous surveys and different studies that SJW 's can't pull their usual bullshit (like the infamous wage gap) on him. I also like the way he debates, he cites different studies and uses his brain but his oppositions almost always goes "buh buh buh MA feelings!!!". He is a SJW's worst nightmare. That's an admirable quality.

Milo appeals to 15 year old 'rebels' and people with the mindset of a 15 year old. Which unfortunately is a lot of fucking people.

Sure I guess. We could start calling anyone that agrees with him, an anti-semetic homo-phobic, sexist, blanco-phobe lol. Granted we will not, because we will not stoop to the level of the regressive left. We easily could considering the moral relativity and hypocrisy, since it's so easy, but we kind of treat them like mentally ill people. It's better to let them be, rather than upset them.
I was talking to my friends twin sister who had this whole perception about what Trump supporters were like. She projected it upon me to the point she asked me if I thought men should be paid more than women. I disagreed with her that men should be paid more than women, and she accused me of lying, and pretending to support something just to please her because she couldn't grasp the fact that someone would agree that men should be paid the same amount as women. She actually believed all Trump supporters must think the opposite as her, and refused to agree with me, even though I agreed with her. Complete mind control lol
What do you think the "left" is? I wonder sometimes if we are talking about the same thing.

Tbh at this point I debate in my mind if there's even still such thing as a "left" and "right". Both have been completely turned on their heads the last few decades and have started respectively doing shit characteristic of the other.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

I see people talk about "the left" and it doesn't resemble my stance at all and I would count myself as being on the left. It seems, that especially in the US the term is unrecognisable from the usage anywhere else.
To me the left is about equality and ensuring that people, all people have a reasonable quality of life. That the wealth is shared in a equitable fashion and no one is exploited.
The right are about intrenching inequality not providing for others, xenophobia and nationalism.

I don't really have the energy to go back and find every instance of it, but Milo is what you would call a research cherry picker.
Don't like feminism, use the Huffpost study and not the WaPo study.
It's the same shit Ted Cruz did when he tried to prove climate change was a hoax. Out of hundreds of studies, he found one study which showed the average temperature of the earth was not in fact warming and ran with it.
I am not 100% confident on this part, but I believe Milo has also been called out for making up statistics as well.
Either way, people who present their side as being fact, and then cherry pick the data that they like, are most certainly not realists. At best they are plagued by confirmation bias(I.e. Maybe milo googled "Most people are not feminists" and got the answer he was looking for). At worst they are aware of conflicting data, and choose not to report on it because they have an agenda to push.

I'm not addressing his position on the wage gap.
I am addressing the position that he uses statistics appropriately enough to trust him when he throws them around.

Well, if you think he cherry picks data to fit his agenda (like how feminists cherry pick data to create a wage gap) then you can expose him here. Up until now you've only given maybe's and if you're confident enough I'd like to see some actual content to your claims..
