If you were standing with Christopher Hitchens in a room, what would you say to him?

"Why do you support imperialism, scientism and associate with Islamophobes?"

"Hey, you know that people worship you now? Kinda ironic, is it not?"

I'd ask him to apologize for inspiring Ben Stiller to share his thoughts on philosophy and politics.

why do you look, talk and act like a bitter old toad?

Dropped

Rev up those gulags

What did I say that was liberal?

Holy shit this board is going down the shitter

Scientism
Islamaphobes
You can be helped, just lurk moar

Not much since he's fucking dead

Nothing, really. I don't care about him at all.

How's scientism intellectually defensible?

Lol no

its not, unless you're a self interested authoritarian ideolouge and its a religious crusade that you zealously defend

Reddit-tier trash
*tips fedora*

Scientism is wrong, though. It's dogmatic, and it seems silly that Socialists should be for dogma. I also don't really see a problem with belief in things that can't be proven. For example Buddhism has the case of attaining direct knowledge of reality.

Islamophobia is a problem, because it victimises Muslims rather than identifying problems within Islam. Not only that but Islamophobes are almost always the fedora anti-theist types and insist that there isn't a single person on earth who wants to wear a hijab.

Lmao why don't you follow your leaders and talk about how great the Iraq war is, crypto-lib retard.

...

not an argument

that word doesn't mean what you think it means

Says the dipshit desperately defending his neocon lib idols.

Seriously, fuck off back to reddit

Ask him why he let W cuck him so bad

What the fuck nigger I thought you were dead. Also, why did you stop being a leftist you faggot? A lost cause isn't lost as long as there's someone still fighting for it. Imagine the good you could have done if you turned your sarcasm toward neoliberalism instead of toward certifiably crazy people?

I would explain to him how the Iraq war turned out, and then let him come to his own conclusions.
