Must try to read this book. RIP Christopher Hitchens. I didnt agree with him 100% on absolutely everything, but even the stuff I wasnt 100% aligned on he did make me rethink things. He had an amazing socratic forensic method of debate. He was on record saying that he wasnt a fan of Trump, but this was back in his larger than life property mogul days.

He is sorely needed nowadays. His brother, Peter Hitchens, is also a legend, although more of a pessimistic version of his sibling, and very smart - saying things that arent popular, but needed to be said. His DNGAF morning stroll around oxford ahead of the baying Barmy Looters Matter mob a distance behind him hurling abuse at him has to be seen, it's a picture of English gentlemanly insouciance.

Christopher Hitches is missed indeed. His brother is fighting the good fight for reason and the culture of the enlightenment. Do you have a link to the video of Peter Hitches morning stroll?

After the first 10 seconds or so, may as well hit mute, because if one wanted to hear NPC dialogue over and over, id just play Fallout 3 and click talk. Protestors noise is so tiresome. Most of the riot/protest videos are better off watched muted these days. No useful information is imparted through audio.
