Abu Muqawama Explains Just How Stupid Christopher Hitchens Is

He writes

I can't get that scene in Rushmore out of my head, the one where Max gets pummeled by the Scottish kid (the 2:23 mark of this clip) and looks up at the little kids who used to idolize him. This must have been what Hitchens was like in Beirut.

In summary, it's no one's fault in Beirut that Christopher Hitchens was born too late to have participated in the Spanish Civil War, and if you're hunting for fascists to insult in Lebanon, there's no need to stop with the SSNP. But it might be smartest to just be a considerate tourist, keep your mouth shut, and draw your conclusions later.
