No matter what you think of Milo Yiannopoulos, you have to give the man credit. Very few people can trigger the special snowflake brigade like this guy can. News broke a couple hours ago that he will be receiving $250,000 for his upcoming book from Simon & Schuster. There’s more details on Amazon if you click the picture below. It is scheduled to be released on March 14th, 2017.
But the part I came to talk about is the full-scale meltdown happening on Twitter right now over this news. Zoe Quinn seems to be close to taking her own life (stay strong, dear!).

And now Milo is apparently a Neo-Nazi. That will be news to The Daily Stormer, who recently featured a photoshopped pick of Yiannopoulos being put into the proverbial oven.

There’s much, much more.
Someone was going to give this POS a pile of money. But @simonschuster, it didn't have to be you. https://t.co/cEGWMIlLJ8

Lol, good luck, sweetie. It’s called the free market. Eat shit or refuse to honor your contract. Hopefully the suits at Simon & Schuster decide to sue your ass into oblivion if you go that route, though.
Anyway, I’m sure there will be more salt throughout the day. Looks like these types are gearing up to try and takedown the book, which will of course net Milo even more money in the long run. Great idea! No one ever accused these dumbasses of having any sense, though.
