Not really. He was an interesting writer, and I enjoyed his views, but his talking points were few, in most cases. He seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time bashing christianity, which is strange considering the much larger evils in his life and sphere of influence.

Though his words on Islam are spot on. I'm glad he had the balls to speak about it.

Hitchens was a contrarian at all levels. He found liberalism disgusting when he moved to the US so he started bashing the shit out of it. This made Bush elites like him, so in turn he started reminding them that Christianity is a load of equal bullshit.

If he was around right now he'd be pro Trump absolutely just to watch everybody shit their pants around him.

Hitchens also did a tour of the most remote areas of the South to promote books and hold open discussions with anybody who wanted to attend not many other people would ever do that

I would have liked to see him and his brother possibly join forces against the mass immigration, EU, and progressive tyranny we have now. Would have been great to see him alive and commenting/reacting to our current situations. Same with Breitbart, but CH I think would have been more interesting because Breitbart would be predictable, whereas Hitchens would be more complex

Indeed, but like most contrarians, he met a stumbling block when he hit Christianity. Not because of any actual challenge, but because it's such a big topic, with so much to chew through, he could (and kind of did) spend the rest of his life on that one subject.

A shame really, because weakening Christianity just allows muslim filth in.

>do you too?

Yes, he was my favorite American intellectual and he's sorely missed.

>If he was around right now he'd be pro Trump absolutely just to watch everybody shit their pants around him.
he's hates islam and the clintons so that's almost guaranteed

Your video attacking atheism was low. I know who you are.

Yes he was a good guy one of the few pro life atheist out there :'(

You're not the first person to think i'm a youtuber. Why is this? Something about my lexical signifiers?

>He found liberalism disgusting when he moved to the US so he started bashing the shit out of it

He was pro-communitst for a long time. Then later, he admitted to himself that he was a liberal.

source: Chapter 5-ish in his memoir. I'm reading it currently.

>that Christianity is a load of equal bullshit.

get out of here you jew. stroking (((Christopher Hitchens))) and advertising jewish inventions like (((Atheism))) all of you deserve to be gassed for hating Jesus and god.

I support lawful good Hitchens over chaotic neutral Hitchens.

every fucking day ;_;

No. Commie demagoges can go straight to hell and stay there.

Another note, he hardly mentions his books in his memoir. Just the sentence or two: "And the reaction I got after I wrote a book criticizing Mother Theresa..."

There is this youtuber called Devon tracey who keeps insisting hitchens would've voted for clinton man that guy pisses me off...

The fucker wrote a book about the clinton's and their many scandals he despised them.

No. He was a turbo autist who sold himself out on his deathbed.

>there will never be a season two of the brothers hitch in which Christopher and his athiest technocracy battle for control of humanity against Peter and his utopian moralocracy

No fuck him.

>call out Islam
"Oh wow so brave"
>call out Christianity
"Haha god!"
>make fun of liberalism
"Oh wow so insightful."

Literally go ahead and pick the lowest fucking hanging fruit. This guy is an atheists wet dream and how they picture themselves. Coming to very obvious conclusions and then being receiving self praise for them.

Now I'm hearing he's a commie. That means I'm glad he's dead.

WHY DIDN'T HE JUST STOP SMOKING AND DRINKING

HE DIED FROM THROAT CANCER

AND IT WAS COMPLETELY PREVENTABLE
He had two young children and a wife for fucks sake

no.

even his brother is better.

Not particularly but I wish things could have gone better for him.

I just knew about the wife. This is awful, wow.

Yes. We need someone with an "intellectual" angle to BTFO of Islam apologists without getting flustered by the Liberal rhetoric.

He didn't have throat cancer, the tumor was between the aurduct and the lung. It was in a place where it couldn't be removed, that's why he went on smoking and drinking - there was no cure anyway.

yes

MAYBE IF HE DIDN'T SMOKE A PACK A DAY AND DRINK FOR YEARS AND YEARS, HE WOULDN'T HAVE A TUMOR AROUND HIS LUNG

Yes, I read an essay where he talked about his two children. He made a joke that some parents look at their kids and say, "wow, so beautiful." But he looks at his kids and thinks, "they're a little dirty, they need to take a shower and clean behind their ears."

Thats cute.

Hitchens has some long like 1-2hr talks about Orwell on youtube, like reviewing his essay 'All Art is Propaganda ' is good plus of course the Why Orwell Matters speeches.

One great read is Orwell's censored preface for Animal Farm, where he slams the publishers and leftist media of the day for being so pro-Soviet Union and communist. And here we are 70yrs later with situations reversed now the lefty media hates eebul "democratic" Russia and will refuse to print any pro-Russian essay or book.

Honestly, not really. I liked listening to him when I was a kid, but when I go back and read some of the stuff he wrote now it's all very basic stuff, well-packaged.

No, you just talk like a faggot.

Belated Bantz

I miss his hair. It was very wavy and nice.

Every single day of my life, b.

RIP Hitchman

If I could have a beer with any three dead people, I'd hang out with the Hitchman three times.

>Hitchens's razor is an epistemological razor asserting that the burden of proof regarding the truthfulness of a claim lies with the one who makes the claim; if this burden is not met, the claim is unfounded and its opponents need not argue further in order to dismiss it.

>It is named, echoing Occam's razor, for the journalist and writer Christopher Hitchens, who, in a 2003 Slate article, formulated it thus:

>"What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."

It was incredibly depressing to watch him die.

>literally just describing burden of proof

Wow, this is some real vapid shit here.

One would think that a someone living in such a politically turbulent country would realize that those were not low hanging fruit at that time.

It's not like Femenist REKT compilations were a thing back in the 90's

The world needs him more than ever.

Oddly, i found it almost heroic the stoic way he handled his cancer. No fucking drama. His book Mortality was a pure inspiration to read.

You should do more catholic generals. I try to not browse Sup Forums as much because I'm weak to porn though.
