1. I loved Hitchens but it's worth noting that the entire trajectory of his career goes against the narrative Brooks is constructing here. The more of a reactionary crank Hitchens became, the bigger platforms he gained.https://twitter.com/nytdavidbrooks/status/1286619122835619845 …

He bemoaned religion for keeping one set of books, I'm curious if he would have criticized this crowd for myopically reading 1984 every hour on the hour

I do wonder if there will come a point that ND stops reprinting Pound, Celine, and various other out-and-out facists in their back catalog. Not at they should or even will, but...there sure are a lot of wacko rightists on their roster—a consequence of modernism, I guess.

None of the outlets who employed Hitchens would have employed someone like Alexander Cockburn. And that is the real problem. There is diversity in approved opinions. Not much else.

he had to choose someone who's dead because a) the theory is conveniently untestable, and b) among the living he can't point to any great essayists, or any unemployed people

A+ burn. (For those who wonder: Céline wrote one of the most powerful anti-war books after WWI (Voyage au bout de la nuit); but he ended up in the Vichy régime, in part because he was anti-Semitic)
