As far as Milo goes, all ll I know about him is he's a civic nationalist promoting western ideals unapologetically while also mocking/trolling the left. I don't really care much for him. But at least he's able to create some form of discourse -- which the left has killed by shutting down opposition.
Whether you realize it or not, Milo's character is a product of the left. Granted, it's not what the left wanted. But, nonetheless, he is a yang to their yin.
"I said that protesting bigotry - even violently - is not evidence of bigotry."
I have no idea what distinction you're making here. A protest in and of itself isn't bigotry. But, what you have here are bigots protesting and those protests are turning violent. The left have become the bigots. And they have been actively shutting down opposition. And things are escalating more and more into violence. This isn't the first incident.
So, the "tolerant left" sarcasm isn't limited to this situation. It's a mockery of people on the left constantly assuming they're a paragon of virtue and presenting themselves as such. But, the reality is they're not as opened minded as they believe themselves to be.
A lot of these lefties think they're fighting the good fight, but they're not. Maybe before they were. But not anymore. The pendulum swung too far, and they've become polarized ideologues.

This is not good for anyone.
