/lit/ - Literature

I agree with Christopher's opinions on religion, but he got BTFO by Peter on everything else.

>any time he has come face to face with an actual intellectual or historian he gets btfo
Examples?

He is correct though.

Brilliant exegesis.

Yeah Peter Hitchens is like that guy who is 32 and has a degree on literature or economics but still goes to /lit/ or /biz/ to see 21 year olds get basic things wrong and feel smart.

He needs to spend more time writing about things he actually understands rather than some of the shit he seems obsessed with. From reading his books or his Mail on Sunday column you would think that you couldn't walk down a British street without being mugged by some cannabis crazed 13 year old with 3 kids.

For an intelligent man its pretty sad to see how allergic he sometimes is to reality.

I think that his plan is to make these 20 year olds and media hacks look retarded by stating his most simple positions as plainly as possible and then letting them shout spooks at him for ten minutes. I can't confirm that this is the goal behind his tv appearances but if it is he's successfully made me hate virtually everyone on political tv but him.

Not a hack if you ask me, what has he ever been wrong on? He's hard as fuck on drugs but that makes a lot of sense to me. Try living next door to a trap house for a year and then see how tolerant of the lesser drugs like pot you are afterwards.

>only debates retarded 20 year olds, hacks and dumb politicians
>has never debated a proper intellectual
>any time he has come face to face with an actual intellectual he gets btfo
When will he be known for the hack he is?

What do you expect from a protestant?

sh-sh-shut up!

This seems to be the case with a lot of the "intelectuals" people meme on here. I feel actually sad for Zyzzek, the man is actually very intelligent (I disagree with him in some stuff but who cares) but is still lumped with absolute hacks like this guy.

Hating drugs is hating freedom anon. Why do you hate freedom so much?

>Is a journalist
This alone makes him a hack. All journalists are bumbling charlatans.

He did BTFO an academic in a debate on Russia at my university

Conversion to Catholicism when?

>>8815708
Any videos of that event? Who was he debating with also?
