>If he saw 2020s London Alky Hitch would've absolutely turned into a backpedaling "cultural Christian" just like Dawkins.
I was a Hitchensfag and I doubt it. He wasn't even a "all religions are equally bad" guy. He thought all religions were equally false (in terms of a true/false proposition), but Islam was worse, and would say things like: if you don't like Christianity then you really shouldn't like Islam, like it's the indictment of the Abrahamic religions that the last major one to emerge is the most totalitarian. Main thing is that he didn't make "lesser of two evils" arguments even though you could say that's what he was essentially doing by supporting the wars. Instead he'd say the anti-war leftists who'd go "Saddam was a bad guy but" were doing a lesser-evilism and were therefore wrong.

>I wonder what Hitch would think of TradCaths, he'd probably have lost his fucking mind.
Look up what he wrote about Mel Gibson. He was also a Trotskyfag and I wonder if he ever read Trotsky's writings about Freemasonry as a cosplay attempt by the petit bourgeoisie to restore a sense of moral discipline by dressing up like medieval guilds while the walls were caving in on them. But the ideas still reeked of staleness. Sometimes it's easier for people to retreat back into an older building rather than trying to construct a new one.
