* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Zigzagged. Milo hates British people aside from Scots but is completely disgusted by genocide and slavery. The entire point of his channel is stated to be a combination of feeling obligated to use what privileges he has to help people learn from the mistakes of the past and crack down on conspiracy theories in order to starve the more dangerous and worse ones.

* {{Facepalm}}: Some of the more ridiculous claims by conspiracy theorists, especially those that are white supremacists trying to rewrite history in favor of their bigotry, cause Milo to slap a hand over his face.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Milo is unimpressed with the common conspiracy tactic of seeing something that looks vaguely similar to something else and jumping to the conclusion that this makes these the same thing. For instance the insistence by some that ''mountains'' are ''melted pyramids''.
