The worst fake internationalist in recent history has bit the dust.

Now I guess the best but ultimately worthless internationalist Noam Chomsky is going to go to balance everything out.

And then we'll have nothing.

Merry Christmas!!!

"I love the imagery of struggle," he wrote about his illness in an August 2010 essay in Vanity Fair. "I sometimes wish I were suffering in a good cause, or risking my life for the good of others, instead of just being a gravely endangered patient."

LOL!! I can't believe he said this shit.

All he had to do was consider the average Afghan or Iraqi above subhuman and he would've suffered the hatred and ostracism he so desired. I guess he just has to envy the tepid worthless leftists he viciously insulted when they tried to argue on behalf of the most weakest and abused people on the planet.

Seriously I thought he would never die. I used to imagine walking up to him and telling him how he promised he would die ten years ago and how angry I was that he lied to me.

But now I know dreams do come true. When you wish upon a star...

RIP. An epitaph:

Here lies Hitchens, brave Tortured soul
A testament to thought's productivity,
Death Squads in Iraq, he fathered them All

Some of his greatest hitchs:

“Cluster bombs are perhaps not good in themselves, but when they are dropped on identifiable concentrations of Taliban troops, they do have a heartening effect.”

“I don't think the war in Afghanistan was ruthlessly enough waged.”

Oh that contrarian! The Afghans only suffered one million deaths fighting the Soviets and tens of thousands more died when the world left them to rot in a civil war that led the Taliban to power because they were the only group that could provide stability in a nation that had been completely forsaken by humanity.

So of course the reaction would be to hope more people suffer and die in a country where a quarter of their children die before the age of five!

“Will an Iraq war make our Al Qaeda problem worse? Not likely.”

“The death toll is not nearly high enough... too many have escaped.”

What a tragic loss this was to the world. How will we go on without Christopher Hitchens masturbating to dead peasant corpses?

At first i felt nothing, then i felt happiness, and then i celebrated, and then this is what a guerrilla feels like, i thought, who has no chance in hell, ticking up the odds, with every dead man

if there's a chance in hell, then we'll fill hell up to better the odds

hitchens was such a great and iconic writer(and postmodern subjectivity is so perverse) that the fashionable anti-essentialist "death of the author" trite tripe trope pope soap completely goes out of the glass hole when it comes to him. Nobody doubts the sincerity, the authenticity and the clarity of vision, the Author's Intent, when it comes to Hitchens.

What could be more perverse (in the Lincolnloggian sense) than someone berating the dead flesh of an imposter, goading the Law to show itself -- as we imagine his death was somehow a punishment exacted by invisible goats -- and restore Order so that we can pester it's next flabby, farting and sex-having representative.
