Eat shit Milo I hope your book shipments get stolen by Somali pirates (or any other such rogue agents of the sea) and used as toilet paper

They expected 100K copies at least.

Sir!
Kinda figured it'd do well with the Brexit crowd.
They don't, but they will listen to uneducated blowhards jerk each other off on the same talking points for 7 straight hours on google hangout streams.
Trying to sell books to these stormweenie teenagers was an idiotic idea. If he was remotely intelligent he would've realized he's just conservative talk radio for the new generation. These people don't read. They don't even transcribe their shit. They want videos, period. They need the glow of a screen to keep their attention and to let them turn their brain off even further.
As it turns out, idiots aren't big on reading. This one worked itself out.
He was on anthony from O&A fame and I believe said he expected it to be one of the bet selling books in history, hes also suing his former publisher for not publishing it.
I did find it interesting he got no real media appointments
I doubt he will go away

Their fucking strain of intellectualism is Sargon of a Akkad spouting slogans to from books he's never read
Glorious schadenfreude. Eat those tiny sales asshole.
It does lend credence the theory that these guys are unemployed.
They accuse liberals of being paid by Soros, when in reality they would LOVE to be paid by a shadowy billionaire.
I don't get how anyone can tolerate Sargon. Even if I was someone that agreed with his views, sitting there for several hours listening to him ramble sounds like the most boring fucking thing

Is this the same Anthony that went on a huge racist rant that destroyed his show after a black woman walked near him on the street? Good company I guess
not many of them can read.

You are right, a book was the wrong medium to grab those idiots. They 'should have put some thought into that

I mean, any more than 0 is still too many for this fuck, but even 18k is only around 5 one-thousandths of one percent of the US, so it's still pretty bad. I feel like anyone with a recognizable name, regardless of reasons, should be able to top that. Wouldn't be surprised if they inflated the numbers by buying copies too.

If you guys do want some solace in the face of Milos relative popularity, he clearly fucking hates his Base, all the MAGA chuds clearly repulse him but he is destined to stay with them forever and ever because those are the only people who listen to him
Yeah those were the only shows that would take him on, he even had trouble getting on shows hes been on before like Rogan to promote it.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
He greatly exaggerated how many he sold, which should tell you whether 18k is good.
it is but that's like one step above printing absolute failure out of ~250 million adults/book buying age.
I work as a printer in a bookstore... not sure if the store even carries this book. I'll have to check.

Never gets old.
Its such an odd thing to release a book to his audience that skews so unbelievably young and has likely never read a book recreationally, thats not even meant as an insult just to say everything the kids do is digital, just seems so weird.
That was Milo's Twitter. He got suspended.

That motherfucker ruined a perfectly interesting historical figure and if I want to learn about the real one I have to scroll down on Google to get past this dumb fuck, fuck him
Sargon of my ideology is inherently self contradictory and incoherent because I'm a dumbfuck turd

The problem with that is that Rebekah Mercer is in direct conflict to the "Republican women are always hotter than Democrats" narrative he loves to push.
I'm just never sure with these slimebags. Doesn't sound like much but maybe they're still happy about getting 18k suckers to give them money even though they're posturing for more *shrug*
E: 152 for UK is hilarious though

Well why do you think it sold so bad?
I love how youtube turns my entire recommended into basically his channel feed if I'm ever linked one of his videos. Wait I don't love that at all.

Oh yeah that shit is so annoying like I got linked to a video where Sargon tried to explain how he did not harbour an unhealthy obsession with Anita sarkeesian (amazing on its own) and suddenly I get all these "rational thinkers" on my recs whose whole thesis is "women are crazy amirite??"

Just for reference that's about 1 percent of the population of Guam. That's not a lot of books at all.
Yup, he's a shoe-in for a BBC job at the least.
What's amazing to me is that these people were clearly born out of the whole butt-atheist (that's the term I use and I'm sticking to it) movement from a few years back. You'd think people who supposedly defer to science and experts would be a little less eager to throw all their eggs into a Sargon of Blank Resume basket.
