The best thing for me was listening to a guy talking about the manosphere on public radio, saying that classical liberal "is a political constituency that doesn't exist outside of youtube" while also talking about how horrible incels and alt-righters and Jordan memerson are. https://www.wnycstudios.org/story/on-the-media-2018-05-04
Without a list of blue checkmarks smugly sneering, it's just an article about randos on the internet. Once you have a twitter circlejerk, it becomes drama.
The sooner we treat Internet fringe politics and its "intellectuals" as buffoons as no different from some 30 year old Columbine fan who thinks they're still in high school, and stop paying attention to them, this world would be a better place
This just makes me sad that Hitchens is dead. I'd love to have his take on current issues. All these current iterations of public intellectuals are somewhat sub-par by comparison.

By "Intellectual Dark Web" and "Classical Liberal" I, of course, mean "Nazis".

I blame youtubers for ruining the classical liberal label.

"Intellectual" dark web

i can say with high confidence that the word "shit" would occur multiple times, and he'd be drinking heavily.

This drama pairs very nicely with this drama.
You got to show the drama about the thinkers from both sides for a well balanced drama-diet.
