How Do You Read Milo Chronicles?

Beautifully written, beautiful exterior and a dedicated and engaging account of the rise and importance of the fiery cultural hero that is MILO. Highly recommended for all Milo fans and celebrators of Western culture. An essential story of why it's important that we fight for the values that make the West the best.
—Pádraig, “Dedicated chronicle of the rise of a fascinating and essential cultural hero,” Amazon 5-star review, December 3, 2019 
Beautifully written story of an unlikely friendship between University of Chicago professor Rachel Fulton Brown and conservative firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos. Both were unfairly targeted by social justice warriors and almost lost their careers for speaking their truths. They used their friendship and strong belief in their Catholic faith to overcome it all. The best way to fight back is with laughter and joy. Very insightful.

This book provides a fascinating glimpse inside the life of an elite historian, the University of Chicago medievalist Rachel Fulton Brown, and her struggles as a conservative in academia. Her embrace of Christianity and her praise of Western Civilization ultimately aligned her, in many ways, with Milo Yiannopoulos, a pairing that not many people would have anticipated before they befriended each other. This book provides an overview of their friendship and the issues that led to it, as well as a detailed account of the often vicious attacks Rachel endured from progressive academics as a result of it.

SJWs are as dour and serious as much as they are misguided. Compare Milo, who blends truth and humor to the point the two are hardly distinguishable. Consider his one word definition of feminism. Rachel Fulton Brown shows in the Milo Chronicles that error and dourness are as natural a pair as truth and laughter.
—O. Thursday, “Truth and Jokes,” Amazon 5-star review, December 29, 2019
All great cultures have their heroes — distinguished by unparalleled beauty and a fatal flaw. Each hero imparts wisdom and teaches a valuable lesson through their own personal journey. Milo Yiannopoulos is that hero and the Milo Chronicles is his journey. Milo Chronicles is true Greek drama full of tragedy, comedy, the requisite fall from grace, redemption, and the final ascension to a higher plane of existence. This book tells the story of a hero’s life, the personal challenges to overcome and the difficult path with no shortcuts that must be taken in order to ascend, lighting the way for others. Milo leads us through a cultural movement with humor and passion and with the betterment of humankind as the ultimate goal. Love him or fear him, Milo Yiannopoulos, through the words of Dr. Rachel Fulton Brown, has a story worth knowing. Milo is a hero for our times.

Now this is interesting. A new book on Milo Yiannopolous by my Chicago Uni friend, Prof Rachel Fulton Brown, who was just in Australia & delivered an excellent talk on great books of the medieval period. I have not read this new book yet, but have read most / of the blog posts it’s based on. They’re an interesting take on an increasingly fascinating phenomenon — the inverting of the traditional paradigm of the prudish Right versus the subversive Left. Now, it’s increasingly the subversive Right v Loony Left scolds — much to the / distress of many of us from traditional Left parties like the Australian Labor Party, USA Democrats, etc. When people look back on this period in 100 years, you can only wonder what they’ll make of much of the unhinged nonsense the Loony Left are dragging us into. / Anyway, these Milo Chronicles will probably be one text future historians consult as they try to make sense of this increasingly ridiculous period. Subvert the dominant paradigm - unfortunately, at present, it’s increasingly the Right doing the best stuff in that respect.

Free Speech Fundamentals: Building a Platform

Image
Milo's platform It is without a doubt one of the sillier complaints that protestors at Milo's talks have regularly made when they are trying to shut him up for having conservative political opinions about freedom of speech. For example, at UC Davis, where the protestors effectively shut down Milo's event the night before with their violence , after which the next day one of them demanded of Milo as he was talking to the crowd gathered outside to hear him speak (see video at 4:01 ): "Where's my platform? Where is everyone else's platform?" Milo admonished him: "You had it last night, brother," but of course the young man was not satisfied. He thought that it was Milo's fault that nobody wanted to listen to him. Trigglypuff at UMass Amherst had the same complaint, if imperfectly expressed (see video at 1:26 ): "But this is free speech! If you're so concerned about free speech..."--meaning presumably hers, as she clearly wa

A Poetry Class for the End of the World

  Milo and the Professor are back with a special episode of Friday Night’s All Right,  available on Censored.tv ! With protestors storming the Capitol Building and tempers running high, what better poem to capture the Spiritus Mundi  than “ The Second Coming ” by William Butler Yeats?  Turning and turning in the widening gyre    The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere    The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst    Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand.    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it    Reel shadows of the

Make the Middle Ages Dark Again

Image
I miss the good old days. You remember. Back when the only thing people knew about the Middle Ages is that they were Dark and filled with evil barons wresting a living off the back of their serfs, not to mention lecherous clergy imprisoning young maidens so as to rape them and then accuse them of witchcraft. You remember, right? What it was like when the Middle Ages were Dark? The Roman Catholic Church made slaves of everyone, stripped them of their sense of dignity and independence and made social status a matter not of achievement, but birth. The Church hated science and industry and did everything in its power to keep people in chains. It guarded its authority with the sword and the stake, stifled all innovation, and fed the common people lies. And why were these Ages so Dark? There were no universities, no towns, only castles with dungeons. Monks huddled in their cells thinking dark thoughts about sin, while Vikings stormed across the countryside, raping and pillaging and ca

How to Signal You Are Not a White Supremacist

Image
Professor Kim READ FIRST:  Why Dorothy Kim Hates Me , The Color of the House of the Lord It’s back to class for those of us who teach in medieval studies, and my medievalist colleague Dorothy Kim , Assistant Professor of English at Vassar College ( pictured in 2014 ), wants to make sure you understand the stakes . The medieval western European Christian past is being weaponized by white supremacist/white nationalist/KKK/nazi extremist groups who also frequently happen to be college students.  That does sound bad. But, wait, it gets worse! Don’t think western European medieval studies is exceptional.... ISIS/ISIL also weaponizes the idea of the pure medieval Islamic past in their recruiting rhetoric for young male Muslims. If the medieval past (globally) is being weaponized for the aims of extreme, violent supremacist groups, what are you doing, medievalists, in your classrooms? Because you are the authorities teaching medieval subjects in the classroom, you are, in fact, ide

The Lord's Prayer, Thanks Be to Dogs

I've never really liked the Lord's Prayer very much. It seems, I don't know, so spare, not really a prayer at all. Not like the collects that we read in church, nothing like Anselm of Canterbury's far more moving and affective prayers. Prayer should be more meditative, right? Not just a blank asking for bread and forgiveness. And yet, I know that to learn to pray, I need to learn the Lord's Prayer. It is the prayer that Our Lord taught us, after all. There must be something in it. My scholarly inclination at the moment is to start looking for commentaries. Maybe Luther's, but that's in my office on campus and I'm at home now. There's the Catechism of the Catholic Church right behind me on the cabinet that I'm using here at home as my "desk", purportedly for keeping handy the things that I most want or need to read next (like that book I'm supposed to review, you know). But then I still wouldn't be thinking about what
