Milo Yiannopoulos Got Milkshaked and Nobody Cared, Or “Deplatforming Works”

There’s been a lot of talk of “milkshaking” lately, the dangerous and thrilling new form of political violence stirring fear in alt-right blowhards. For those unaware of the dangerous new trend, milkshaking is when you throw the delicious drink at a politician during a rally—you know, the same harmless act that we actually laugh at in movies and television shows whenever a character throws their drink at a bad date.

This terrifying new form of political warfare is so threatening that members of the Scottish Police actually stopped McDonald’s from selling McFlurry’s near a Nigel Farage rally; meanwhile the radical socialist monarch known only as Burger King continued to offer the drinks at their Scotland locations. Farage’s efforts to dodge the dessert continued last week, when a group of milkshake-wielding protestors trapped the pro-Brexit politician on his bus.

Seriously—this is the shape of political discourse in 2019. Politicians are calling on fast-food chains to stop selling milkshakes and cowering in fear of their constituents instead of actually legislating.

Anyway, last week there was an attack on one Milo Yiannopoulos, the right-wing provocateur who was famously deplatformed following his actually violent calls-to-arms against SNL’s Leslie Jones.

Per a video shared by Twitter user @KamalWrites, Milo was milkshaked while on the campaign trail for the all-around disgusting Carl Benjamin in Britain, which only came to our attention nearly a week after the fact. Know why? Because nobody cared enough to inform us at the time.
