Why are food critics so gratuitously pretentious? They’re just consumerists like the rest of us. Food isn’t some esoteric concept. Anyone can eat a nice steak and tell us what they thought of it. So why do they have to be so snobbish It’s not like they’re reviewing actual art, things that take knowledge and expertise to review, like literature or paintings?

You haven't actually watched any of his shows, have you? He never reviewed anything like a normal "critic" would, instead he was all about the cultural aspects of food and how food can unite people.

"The stereotypes about West Virginia, it turns out, are just as cruel, ignorant, misguided, patronizing, and evil as any other. [...] Their identities, their aspirations, and their situation are far more complex than one can imagine, and their needs are more immediate."

Not new, which is why I knew to look up the actual information instead of going off the bullshit claimed in this thread. Just disappointed any time someone feels the need to dishonestly hide the details of what they're talking about to try to give off the illusion of something much worse than what went down in reality. Like because the guy had some liberal views that means it's OK to knowingly take a case involving his girlfriend (not himself) and a 17 year old (i.e. as close as you can get to an unequivocal adult as possible) and trying to pass it off as "Bourdain's a child molester." I bet what ran throught their heads was "liberals smear conservatives like this all the time so I'm only playing by their rules by doing the same to them!" Which is such a retardedly childish attitude to have. I didn't agree with Bourdain's politics and I'm right wing on most issues, but this kind of sneaky dishonest smear manufacturing is idiotic and only serves to make everyone side against you after they inevitably check and see you were lying.

Bourdain was the ultimate rootless sophisticate, the transnational urbanite living a life of glitzy smarm, hollow virtue signaling, and anti-white contempt. All of the happy slobs he derided are alive and well, those “lesser” Food Network show hosts content to sample Ruralite Cuisine in the backwaters of White America rather than on the other side of the planet. Bourdain’s telescopic gastronomy was a crisscross of Third Worldist metapolitics. I'm surprised he didn't kill himself sooner

Just because they're retarded doesn't mean it's retarded to want to preserve your right to purchase and own firearms. Or that it's retarded to be opposed to plans where I lose more money to taxes that will go towards paying for everyone to get a university degree, devaluing my own degree and everyone else's into the new high school diploma (when everyone has the same credential nobody has it). Or that it's retarded to want to crack down on H1B abuses like what happened with the entire American IT department at Disney who were forced to train H1B visa workers from India to take over their jobs or else they wouldn't receive what little severance benefits they were entitled to after getting laid off (keeping in mind the entire point of the H1B visa was supposed to be to allow companies a way to fast track super-genius immigrants who are needed to fill a highly skilled job no domestic applicants are capable of filling; it's clearly not being used as intended when they needed these hundreds of American workers to train their replacements on how to do the job in the first place, and there was a clear non-skill motivation behind the move in that they could pay these H1B workers far less than they were paying their American citizen predecessors).
I could keep going but I hope you get my point. These policies are completely independent of the idiots who make stupid and dishonest smear attacks to try to "own liberals." I would prefer these people didn't exist, but I'm not going to let them influence me into adopting a bunch of backwards globalist agendas to screw everyone out of prosperity and fair business practices. That'd ironically be a lot like how they allowed themselves to be influenced into becoming dishonest weasels in retaliation for finding out how much the leftists they hate are dishonest weasels.

The only thing you got right was "anti-white contempt." Which isn't really an exceptional thing. If you were a little older you'd probably realize that at least used to be a near universal sentiment we were brainwashed with. It's less clear that was the case from today's point of view because everyone has the internet and sites like 4chan or even just twitter where media and public education propaganda memes can actually be ridiculed and deflated publicly and in real time. Before having that internet checking factor what you got was a way more uniform set of basic concepts you tended to either not question or else would only take jabs at with drinking buddies in a "fuck the system" kind of way while still mostly accepting that worldview as the standard and your own disagreement with it as rebellion, unlike now where people not only disagree with the propaganda but are comfortable in their knowledge it's empty and wrong and not the way the world really works.
So yeah, he definitely said shit about the future being all racemixed brown people, but most everyone else in gen x had a similar sense of reality. Go watch Bulworth if you get the chance, the main character literally says "everybody just gotta
keep fuckin' everybody 'till they're all the same color." And nobody at the time thought it was jew propaganda. That was just a banal thing you heard all the time (moving past racism and everyone being the same), a lot like "we need to save the environment and recycle" or "just say no."
As for everything else you didn't get right, Bourdain loved cheap domestic (American) food. He did a segment on Waffle House and he also made a big deal about his favorite hot dog stand from where he grew up in New Jersey. And his crew from his TV show mentioned how much he didn't like traveling around; his favorite thing to do was just eating regular food with a couple crew members at their mom's house, not going to some fancy restaurant for thousand dollar gourmet dishes.

Unless he had Lou Gehrig's Disease he wasn't fucking molested you stupid weasel. I have never seen a male 17 year old who wouldn't be able to easily overpower the vast majority of non-steroid abusing women on the planet. Professional women's hockey and basketball teams lose every time when they try playing against high school boys teams and trannies wreck real women whenever they're allowed to compete, the power gap for sex is about as extreme as the pound for pound power gap between men and chimpanzees. The only time people pretend otherwise is when they want to autistically treat women as equal to men and just as capable of being sex offenders, which again nobody really believes when pressed on it.
