How do I learn to write great essays? Most of resources like books about writing seem to be about writing novels but what if I want to write great film, literary or political criticism f8r example?

Americ*ns hate on hitchens Because he's a true intellectual, something the americ*n can never hope to achieve. Anglos are just more intelligent, this sends the average Christian Americ*n into a frenzy.

They hate Christopher hitchens because he was everything the /lit/izen aspires to be. Witty, intelligent, well read, great at debating, articulate and an alcoholic. But he was also atheist, and so he spent most his time reducing the creationist argument to rubble. This makes the Americ*n seeth.

Hitchens is a French style intellectual, a midwit that does not know and does not care that his takes are uninformed and who is propelled forward by sheer self-confidence.

It’s not just Americans, but copers in general. They hate him shitting on their obvious cope so much that they’d rather escape even further into their fantasy land, and deny astronomy, biology, climate science, epidemiology and rather be a bunch of paranoid weirdos whose current trinity is Jesus, Trump and Q

A true atheist would volunteer to be tortured for the rest of his life. Meaningless publicity stunt

All that video proves is hitchens had an opinion, then changed it when presented with evidence (in this case the experience of going through waterboarding convinced him it was torture).

Again, something Americans will never do.

Indeed. Take away his outspoken atheism, and most /lit/tards would be all over his dick because the fact is: he writes good literary criticism, historical and political essays, and is incredibly well-read.
