nice

a good man

...

Way smarter than me. Wish I could have hung out with him.

Some dead man

Roasting like a pig in hell as we speak.

forever based

Both Hitchens are awesome. Seem to agree more these days with Peter, but still 2 very smart guys.

miss everytime a hijab explodes a school.

degenerate alcoholic who supported evil statistic politics

another intellectual that destroys society without even realizing it

pretty based. need more people who have the respect of maher to go on his show and do things like this

Falling out of favour lately.
Hasnt written a decent book in years

I like how he points out the left is worse than the right intellectually. Even as a personally liberal person, I've come to this conclusion too. I share his disgust.

tfw you will never be this eloquent.

Pretty much. Wrote some good stuff on Kissinger and Mother Teresa, but Peter >>> Christopher.

Took the holocaust redpill accidentally (no thanks to us and our like, by the way), and staked his entire career and reputation to vouch for David Irving in mainstream media.

He's a brilliant man and a fucking hero.

Look at him, he's FUCKING A WHITE MALE

It's unfortunate he had to die so soon because I feel like he would have really shined in today's world.

He was fat and sweaty, he shined when he was alive

ikr. His early death is such an untimely coincidence. Those darn cigarettes

Based. I still listen to his stuff daily. It's amazing how correct his predictions were, especially about the Middle East and the rise of the caliphate.

Only things I really disagree with him on are reparations (he wants to give every descendant of a slave money)and his socialism. He also alluded to Trump being a fascist in the 90's on C-SPAN. Way ahead of his time.

...

He was a fucking Jewish Satanist. As is fucking kike scum Sam Harris.

got any more hitchens memes? i love them

The wrong one died

no sadly

Overall a man of a great value in justice and morality who was almost always smart, funny, and interesting even when he was wrong. However, certain topics would turn him into a belligerent and biased fool and downright insufferable hack. Sadly, such topics are what he became known for.

didnt know the iraq war or socialism was moral

Just because you have strong value in morality does not mean that you are correct in your judgements, to say nothing of the two topics you mention.

only a 100,000 dead iraqis and millions dead to marxism, no biggie man

Without him atheism has lost a voice of anger. Now we mostly have polite civilized debaters.

I miss having a drunk angry grouch in the front of the atheism community.

I don't think anybody disliked Hitchens... except...

Hm...?

Based Hitch.

i loathe shitskins and islam friendo

if the iraq wasnt started, we wouldn't be fighting for ISRAEL we would have left the ME stable- there would be no migrant crisis!

kill yourself

Why I'm I not surprised?

easily in the top 3 speeches of all time, i know all the speeches too

BOY I SURE WISH HITCHENS WAS HERE HIS INSIGHTS WERE ALWAYS SO WISE

He's an unfunny, tryhard edgelord and worst Hitch. His fanbase are the bronies of atheism

He was based, totally predicted every problem following Islam, championed the second amendment and put his reputation and career on the line to defend Irving and would have done so to defend any of his beliefs and values. If he was around today he would be absolutely murdering it.

Literally the people who disagree with this are dumb Christcucks with microtestes that got butthurt at his atheism.

He was a good, smart man that just barely missed the party.

Letters to a Young Contrarian should be required reading. I don't agree with everything he says but damn did he try to avoid depending on feelings to come by his opinions.

he was not Jewish. he heard a Rumor his mom was Jewish but the DNA test his brother did showed they only had 1/16 Jewish. He was an Atheist and his brother is Christian.

ur fag bro

manchild who argued stupid people to make himself look smart.

He would have been a persona non grata as far as political ideology if he was alive. He would be a pariah on the left and unwelcome on the right. His memoir makes it clear his hatred for feminism and identity politics. His demeanor changed when he found out he was a kike though. In his foreword in Brave New World Revisited he just can't help himself (like any good kike does) but to point out instances of Huxley's implicitly anti-semetic characters.

His writings on the Clintons, Kissinger, Mother Theresa, etc. are all good though.

His voice is sadly lost now.

None of this SJW faggotry in universities would be given a pass by Hitchens.

Mos Def is a stupid nigger

>implying that Milo isn't just a shit tier alt-right version of Hitchens

kek

Definitely worth watching, in spite of his short tirade against all religion. A scorching defense of free speech, and attack on Islam in particular.

Milo is nothing like Hitchens. You'd better call Hitchens an atheist G.K. Chesterton before you'd call Milo a poor and alt-right Hitchens.

Smart man and doesn't apologize for what he says. That's respectable.

I'll call you a tripfag first nigger

>no matter what is said Mos Def will have 10x more people agreeing with him than Hitchens
>no matter what is said Ben Affleck will have 20x more people agreeing with him that Harris
>the world isn't run be decent arguments and logic, it's run by a popularity contest

Yup. Isn't it a fun ride?

"Don't take refuge in the false security of consensus..."

I would love to see his thoughts on Black Lives Matter.

I read Hitchens as the Left was abandoning all reason and sanity. He quipped once, "I didn't leave the Left. the Left left me" or something akin. It's my political slogan as to why I've changed tracks.

he was a fedora but near the end of his life he acknowledged the positives of christianity while resolved to denouncing islamism. He was a good man, even if his politics were somewhat questionable.

His brother was the moral one, but Peter has no fight. Christopher was a yard dog.

He gave a speech in favor of reparations for American blacks. He would be in favor of BLM.

>Sup Forums
>supporting family / chivalry

In most ways we are part of the spearhead of this plunge into degeneracy. We encourage and extol a culture that's primary defining characteristic is to treat others like absolute shit without any repercussion.

We are exactly what the jews want us to be.

Man, there are few things that piss me off more than some "WOKE ASS NIGGA 100% 100% XD" motherfucker going off on a subject they, clearly, have no understanding or knowledge of like they know what the fuck they're talking about. Ignorance and it's most glaring and grating.

Godless faggot. Spent his time shitting on Christianity when it was the only thing holding mudslimes and their child raping pedophile from taking over. Thanks to him, civilization is ending. Degenerate trash.

Source or shut the fuck up.

>Christianity
>the only thing holding mudslimes and their child raping pedophile from taking over

Simple logic is all it takes to keep Islam out. You don't need Christianity, you just need less cuck propaganda and more smart leaders.

These people write music that get played constantly on air, shown on television and their political points are ingrained into the young and impressionable of society.

Books and even long articles that are studies of those subjects gather dust because people would rather listen to a "WOKE" song, read a tweet and look at a news headline than spend time and effort studying something.

On top of this you have the identity and conformity where people are pressured into being passionate and rallying for causes they have no clue about. Everything is fake and a lie.

You mean the christians that bent over backwards to give money to and adopt as many black children as possible to be like their cuck prophet and earn more points with God so they get a better seat in Heaven?

>The Middle fucking East
>Stable

And Sup Forums thinks they're smart

How fucking retarded are you?

All it takes to despise Islam is intelligence and being pro-science and order, stupid Christcucks only just barely past that third requirement, and even then only a few.

You could see Bill get upset when Hitch basically called him a lazy comedian, which is exactly what he is. You know you're playing it safe when Mike Birbiglia is making the same jokes you. Bill loves his echo chamber and gets really fucking peeved when people disagree with him outside of his safe space. Just watch his interviews on Colbert's show, Maher looks fucking miserable.

Daily Reminder: It is christcucks that have truly cucked the country while the left runs wild.

They may be better people on average than lefties, but it is their pussy savior who has made them such overbearing pussies.

>I DINDU NUTHIN

Flamboyant science praiser with limited scientific knowledge and a bone to pick with whatever was popular. Ad hominems galore, distraction when he's losing a point, overly complicated and flowery prose tht was often literally unreadable, with what little substance there was drowned in clause after clause of latin words and pretentious rhetoric, drank too much, no real moral core, said shocking things often just to be shocking, won arguments by talking over opponents. Still pretty funny.

I think it's really funny how Christopher Hitchens became a huge mouthpiece for atheism while his brother became a huge christfag.

True. I like Peter, but his brother had infinitely more wit.

...

Christopher became the darling superstar of the left wing hippie/anarchist US college campus movements while Peter sat at home in rainy England drinking milk and being loathed by the left for proclaiming Christianity and morality to a degenerating, liberal, increasingly secular Britain. I can see why people have compared Christopher to Milo, he was charismatic and struck a chord with a similar young, faux-anarchist crowd, though much later on in his career. Hitchens was intellectually superior, more astute and erudite across the political issues than Milo though.

When it comes to his brother, Christopher had more charisma, the ability to rile a crowd, and knew how stir up a debate. Surely more entertaining for the normie. Christopher got the headlines and the adoration, but the truth is Peter is the unsung hero who had the greater argument all along.

This video should be shown to every single sjw ever to show them why freedom of speech is so important and why political correctness is literally a cancer

You want to know what's amusing? Even his Christian opponents he would debate considered him a friend.

> Taunton does not gloss over their differences. He had serious reservations about some of Hitchens’ ideas and actions. But as he writes in the prologue to the book, “I speak exclusively to Christians when I say this: how are we to proclaim our faith if we cannot even build bridges with those who do not share it?” Friendship, he goes on to point out, is “one of the greatest of all redemptive themes.” Especially the kind of friendship that he’s describing here: the kind where friends are open with each other and challenge each other.

Its called mutual respect. You can disagre with someone about 1 particular issue and still respect them as a person. My gf and I debate ethics and politics all the time but we still greatly respect eachother.

Some people get it into their head that if you disagree with someone about something you have to hate them and they are a terrible person. This is neanderthal inbred sjw logic

>past

>Peter is the unsung hero who had the greater argument all along.
>christian
>greater argument
God, you christcucks are silly

>>christian
>>greater argument

And don't you forget it, spacefag.

Peter is the younger brother who doesn't want to be overshadowed by his big bro and struggles to make a name for himself.
