Hitchens was never particularly adept at forming good arguments. He just happened to excel at presenting bad arguments.

He also put a very charming, inviting face on a lot of reactionary impulses. Even many leftists felt the pull. There're probably lessons to be learned here...

Not exactly. SJW's Express out rage at nearly every possible opportunity over the most minuscule of things. Irrationally versus rationally.

That sounds like a distinction that’s entirely reliant on what you, personally, already care about beforehand. If you already think the minorities have it too good & we need some white reaction, you’re always gonna disagree with SJW rage no matter how it’s presented.

Not a fan of Hitchens, but the difference between selective and seemingly constant outrage is important here. There are some things that we should absolutely be outraged by. Being outraged by too much dilutes the outrage when it's actually necessary. Boy who cried wolf etc etc

how about the combination of millions of unwanted comments from random men to millions of random women?

I just enjoyed his casual alcoholism and argumentativness. Makes me not feel so alone about it :p
