Umphengululi wezopolitiko wasekunene uMilo Yiannopoulos.Ifoto ngu-Drew Angerer / Getty Izithombe Kukho into engoyikiyo malunga nokuhlala ngaphesheya kweMilo Yiannopoulos. Ukunxiba wonke umntu omnyama, ejonge ngasemva kweesilazi zelanga, iphiko lasekunene elijikelezayo lijikeleza indawo njengenkanyamba yeTrumpian. Unxibe iimpahla zoyilo kwaye uyazi indlela yokuyalela igumbi. Isidlo sangokuhlwa sijongile xa abaphetheyo besiya naye kwindawo yethu esecaleni kwihotele ekuthiwa yiInterContinental New York Barclay Hotel. Ukonyusa i-narcissism, u-Yiannopoulos ufunda i-diatribes enkonkxiweyo malunga nokukwazi kwakhe ukusebenzisa amajelo eendaba, eshiya rhoqo incoko ngalo lonke ixesha evakalelwa kukuba ishenxa kuye, kwaye edlala esisimumu xa ebuzwa malunga nemali kaMercer.
Yiyo kuphela into endiyiyo eyiyo Machiavellian okanye uLoki-esque-amandla am okudlala kunye neentatheli, endizonwabela kakhulu kuba zishwabene njengehagu kwaye zingenaxabiso, uYiannopoulos undixelela ngekofu.
Kwangoko kule nyanga, isiqhushumbisi Ibali elixubileyo uqhagamshele i-Yiannopoulos kunye ne-supremacists emhlophe eyaziwayo, kubandakanya u-Andrew Weev Auernheimer (umgwebi kunye nomphathi wenkqubo ye-neo-Nazi cesspool iStormer semihla ngemihla ), UDevin Saucier (umnikeli oqhelekileyo kwi-alt-right mag American Renaissance), kunye nombhali we-neo-reactionary umbhali uC Curtis Yarvin. Iimeyile ezivuzayo ziveze ukuba u-Yiannopoulos uhlala efuna iingcebiso ngelixa ekhuthaza ubuzwe obumhlophe eBreitbart, eyila umbhobho phakathi kwe-alt-right Internet fringes and the mainstream. Okona kuphazamisayo yayiyividiyo ka-Yiannopoulos ecula iMelika entle phambi kukaRichard Spencer kunye nesihlwele sabaphathi abamhlophe besolula amaNazi, isiganeko esasisenziwa ngumhleli weBreitbart yayikukusetwa ngu-intatheli wase-alt-ekunene uCharles C. Johnson (uJohnson uyaliphika eli bango ngexa iBuzzfeed ukwala ukuhlawula ividiyo).
I-Buzzfeed inokulahla yonke i-imeyile engamakhulu amabini anamawaka e-imeyile abanayo evela kum kwaye iya kwenza umonakalo ochanekileyo, utshilo u-Yiannopoulos. Ndithetha ngasese njengoko ndenza esidlangalaleni. Ndiyoyikeka ebantwini. Ndiyaluma kwaye ndiyahleba. Ndidadisa izimvo ngaphandle kokucinga ngazo.
Isici se-Buzzfeed siveze eyona ndawo imnyama yentshukumo yezopolitiko edlalwa ngokungalunganga njenge-subculture. Izimvo ezidadayo ngaphandle kokucinga ngazo kufuneka ibe lihlabathi ngaphandle kokuxhobisa ngabom abamhlophe. Nangona kunjalo, ukungangqinelani kuye kwaphazamiseka kwixesha likaTrump. Imikhwa ehlekisayo yokufihla inkcubeko efihla iingcinga ezinobungozi, ukudala igumbi elingapheliyo phakathi kwezinto ezibonisa ukungahambisani nentetho. Amanani afana no-Yiannopoulos ayama ngeengxelo zawo xa etyhalelwa kwindawo yesiqhelo kwaye uwaxhoma njengesiqhulo esingaqondakaliyo xa egwetywa njengobungqwabalala.
Ndifuna ihlabathi liphela lifane necandelo lokuphawula kwi-Intanethi, utsho uYiannopoulos. [Xa] i-CNN yaphambana malunga 'nomqondiso olungileyo' ekucingelwa ukuba yintshukumo yamandla amhlophe, yayindim nabahlobo bam sihleka. Ibikukubona ngokoqobo ukuba yeyiphi into ebambekayo esinokuyenza ukuba ipapashwe yi-CNN.
Ekhohlo kuhlala kuvunywa ngokuphumelela imfazwe yenkcubeko. Kodwa yayililungelo elingu-alt-right eliqonda ukuba i-Intanethi ingalubumba njani ulwimi, lwenze ingqumbo, kwaye luhlanganise ingqumbo emhlophe ngokuchasene namaziko aseNtshona afana neendaba, ezopolitiko kunye nezemfundo. Ngokusebenzisa ixabiso lokothuka, nokuba yayithuka umlingisi wase-Afrika waseMelika u-Leslie Jones ngaphezulu kwe-Twitter okanye ebambe iindibano zamaphiko asekunene kwizixeko ezaziwa ngokuba ziinqaba ezikhululekileyo, u-Yiannopoulos wazenzela inkcubeko ngokuchasene nezinto ezininzi ezazibonwa njengendawo eqhubekayo. Ukukhanya kwegesi ngexabiso lothuselo kumisele umzekelo apho amahlazo ahlaselwe ngokobuhlanga anokugxothwa njengengxolo yengqele engena ngenjongo emngxunyeni. Njengokuba ihlazo ngalinye laliqhubeka lisanda, abantu baya besiba krwada.
NgoFebruwari, inyanga emva kokuba uTrump engenile e-White House ngeli qhinga, u-Yiannopoulos warhoxa eBreitbart ngenxa yezimvo abaninzi abazibona zikhuthaza i-pedophilia, ukuphulukana nesivumelwano seencwadi sikaSimon & Schuster kunye nesimemo sokuthetha se-CPAC. Kodwa ayizange icothise umfutho wakhe; U-Yiannopoulos wafaka ifayile ye- Isityholo se- $ 10 yezigidi ngokuchasene noSimon & Schuster njengendawo yokupapasha kwaye kunikwe ingxelo kuqokelelwe iidola ezili-12 kwinkxaso mali yakhe yedwa Milo Inc. -inxalenye ebalulekileyo evela kumgadonor olondolozayo uRobert Mercer.
U-Yiannopoulos uthi, Leyo nto yokugaya abantwana yandigonya ngokuchasene nee-imeyile [ezapapashwa nge-Buzzfeed], ebekuya kuba kubi kakhulu ukuba bendingenayo le nto yokuhamba ngesondo. Kwaye ngoku andinakuhlaselwa ngokoqobo. Yintoni enye ekhoyo? Akukho nto.
Ngexesha apho lonke ulwazi ludemokhrasi, uphawu lokulawula yonke into. I-brand kaJiannopoulos yobuqu igxile kubuzwe obumhlophe, kwaye itsala izigidi zabalandeli abanamaphiko-kunye neMercer dollar. Kodwa asinguye wonke umntu owayefakwe ubushushu. Ibali eliBuzzfeed lonakalise udumo lowayesakuba ngumbhali wetekhnoloji yeSlate uDavid Auerbach, Intlambo yeSilicon umbhali UDan Lyons, kwaye, ukuya kwinqanaba elincinci, Imagazini yaseNew York Umbhali wase Washington UOlivia Nuzzi . Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu, uMhleli obanzi uMitchell Sunderland wayenjalo ugxothiwe Ukusuka nkqo kwi-VICE yabasetyhini ethe nkqo yokuthumela i-imeyile i-Yiannopoulos nceda uhlekise ngeli lungelo lobufazi ngokubhekisele kulo INew York Times Umbhali wemihlathi uLindy West.
Wayephila ubomi obumbaxa njengosekela mhleli woSasazo owayengakholelwa nakweyiphi na into epapashwe kule ndawo. Kungekudala okanye kamva, oko kubuya kukuluma. Ndimnikile umsebenzi, kodwa akazange andiphendule, u-Yiannopoulos undixelela. Kukho ibali apho, apho umhleli wabasetyhini we-VICE esithi 'Hamba uthobele lo mfazi onamafutha.' Kodwa akusiyo ibali abacinga ngalo. Ibali kukuba ungangcungcuthekisa abantu ukuba bathethe esidlangalaleni le nto ufuna bayitsho.
Uhanahaniso lomntu ocaphukisayo obotshelelwe kwi-supremacists ezimhlophe owathi wakhatywa kwi-Twitter ngokuhlukumeza umdlali weqonga omnyama etyhola elinye icala lokuhlukumeza uchaza ngokugqibeleleyo ubuhlanga obusisiqhelo bezopolitiko zanamhlanje. U-Yiannopoulos uhlala ebanga amaxhoba olwaphulo-mthetho awenzayo. Nangona kunjalo, akukho mali ekumodareyithweni kwimeko yezopolitiko yanamhlanje-imiphetho kumacala omabini aqhuba incoko, eshiya wonke umntu kwi-online hellscape ye-neo-Nazi, anti-fascists, kunye ne-mass group. Xa zingqubana kwilizwe lokwenyani, iziphumo ziyothusa (njengaxa Ngama-40,000 Abachasi abachasayo abachasayo abangama-20 babonisa abaBomi abaMnyama Yenza Iimpawu ezibonisa le ehlotyeni eBoston) kunye nobundlobongela (njengeCharlottesville, Va. Intlekele apho i-neo-Nazi yaqhuba imoto yayo kwisihlwele sabantu abamsulwa, babulala uHeather Heyer).
Lo ngumkhwa oqhelekileyo wokuchaneka kwezopolitiko ngokuchasene nezopolitiko. Yiminyaka engama-30 ezayo. Ndonwabile kakhulu ukuba ndingomnye wabantu abancinci abanoxanduva.
Okwangoku ulungiselela ukubandakanyeka kokuthetha okuzayo kwiikholeji zelizwe liphela, i-Yiannopoulos inegama elibi. Uqhankqalazo lwentetho yakhe yasimahla e-Berkley yayiyintlekele yokuhamba eyathi yabiza iqela lakhe i-100, 000 yeedola kwaye ayibonisanga namnye kulandiso lwentengiso, kubandakanya nomcebisi wakhe wangaphambili uSteve Bannon (ekwathiwa kuye, aqhawulwe amaqhina kunye nokukhuselwa kwakhe ekuvuseleleni inqaku leBuzzfeed). Nangona u-Yiannopoulos ebanga ukuba eli bali lenze mahluko kubatyali mali bakhe kwaye iziphumo zinokuvela kwezinye izinto (kodwa hayi ezangoku into evanithi ngokuthambile ingxelo ukubanga iMilo Inc. ichithe uninzi lwenkxaso-mali yayo kwizinto zodidi), usapho lakwaMercer kugxilwe kunyulo lwaphakathi enyakeni luka-2018 lunokuthatha ukhetho kwimfazwe yenkcubeko.
Andihoyi kuba ndikude kakhulu kuyo yonke loo nto. Kwenzeka ntoni kwezopolitiko luphawu olukude lwento endiyenzayo kwinkcubeko, u-Yiannopoulos uphendula xa ebuzwa malunga nobudlelwane bakhe nosapho lakwaMercer ekukhokeleni kunyulo luka-2018. Ndibukho. Ndingumbono. Kwaye ndithantamisa ngobunono i-pendulum emva kwiikhowudi zentetho kunye nobufazi. Amandla am okwenyani kukuvula iiseli kwiindawo ezingalindelekanga kunye nokuvelisa iziphumo ezintle.
Emva kokuxoxa ngezityholo zikaHarvey Weinstein kunye nendlela i-pedophilia (isihloko esithi uYiannopoulos wayekhe wahlekisa ngokuqhula) iya kuba yitsunami elandelayo ye-PR yokudiliza iHollywood, inkanyamba yaseTrumpian isiya kwiintlanganiso nomsunguli we-Proud Boys uGavin McInnes kunye nomphawuli olondolozayo uPamela Geller. Ndishiyeke kwindalo ehambelanayo apho phezulu kuye ezantsi kwaye omnyama umhlophe, ndiziva ndingcolile kwaye ndiphumelele.
