 Hitch didn’t actually say that, of course, but if you look at his articles recently, especially in comparison to how furiously he wrote during the US presidential campaign, you’ll notice that they’re almost all about international issues, about his pet - often weird - interests abroad instead, rather than domestic concerns. Health care for Americans? Hitch hasn’t written anything. Or even said anything at all (to my knowledge). His latest column in Slate is a diatribe against the president of Iran’s choice for foreign minister. To me, this says more about Hitchens than anything else: he doesn’t really give a damn about Americans. He loves the idea of “America” (as a potential weapon) but does he care about our horrible economy, our abysmal health care system, our 10% unemployment rate? Of course not! He’s got all the money he needs from God is Not Great to pay his expensive mortgage for a long time coming. So with America practically bankrupt, Hitch is still pushing for military aggression in Iran, and, who the fu*k knows where else. I’ve got a different idea: why don’t we close down the military and Hitch’s wars and use the money instead to feed people in America and abroad and perhaps create jobs by building vaster and better public transportation systems? Radical thought, I guess. What a great leftist Hitch turned out to be. Peter Kropotkin would’ve been proud (not). Hitch is a traitor who still pretends to preach leftist ideology by actually claiming that it can come through American imperialism. If this ain’t fraud, folks, then what the hell is? The fact that the American right now embraces Hitchens makes it even sadder, because he's now just using them also, just the same as he used the American left. Wake up, guys! This is all about Hitchens, and his superior wit and wisdom to us all! He is beyond right and left. He is the Einstein of Politics!
That guy Mark, up above, was of course a worthy sacrifice to the cause of Julius Hitchens. |
