ITT Degenerates of Old

Valerie Solanas and Germaine Greer did/have done this being trans-exclusionary and all that.

Camille Paglia has pretty much (re)metamorphosed into a '60s Free Speech movement megaphone, which is necessarily non-PC in the current intellectual climate at large.

Jack Kerouac did this on Firing Line:

He'd fit in with the Liberty bloc, which is to the right of modern liberals.

What does Milo have to do with this?

Guy who believed in individual liberty to the point that he killed himself for the sake of controlling how he went out.

Simultaneously a conservative american and an american conservative.

You're cherry picking and conflating details. Thompson was a lifelong Democrat. Read his book Better Than Sex: Confessions of Political Junkie. Pic related. John Fucking Kerry had guest of honor duties at Thompson's funeral.

He's also got praise for Hilary in the paragraph right after this excerpt but ok, sure, go ahead and call Thompson a conservative lol.

You're both right, no need to fight about it. Thompson was an anti-establishment counter culture figure, obviously more of a libertarian/classic liberal than a lefty liberal. Considering the facts that he wrote about bashing queers and never visited his gay brother when he was dying of AIDS, I don't doubt he would be lumped in with the evil Conservatives if he were alive today.

If you want to have a giggle, check out the 30 minute documentary about Thompson's run for sheriff in the early 70's on youtube. The parallels are so eerie, it's like watching a Trump campaign test run.

Lmao everything you read about HST was probably on /pol/ or /k/ or some other place with a strong conservative bent

t b h HST was probably much more of a >muh founding fathers, muh liberty fag than any of the conservative establishment then and now

the fact that he was friends with niggers doesn't change that at all

Are you fucking retarded. Hunter S Thompson was a left wing anarchist. He praised the IWW FFS

>(just read his Nixon obituary)
Got to be one of the most brutal things I've ever read. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone ITT who's not looked at it yet.

>non-PC by today's standards
>would be crucified as a racist today
>he would be lumped in with the evil Conservatives

are any of you faggots still capable of forming actual opinions about what's in front of you or does all your thinking involve imagining what an sjw would say and then being angry about it?

Melville epitomizes our contemporary SJW's in 19th century form, a man well before his time for sure; kill whitey (the White Whale).

>Considering the facts that he wrote about bashing queers and never visited his gay brother when he was dying of AIDS,
Source?

If you can even classify that as "thinking."

Well, everything must be problematized.

none of those things you listed are false
>>>r/iamverysmart

David Hume was a closeted atheist and notorious card player and saloon frequenter

:]

>Burroughs
maybe not the pedo bit but faggotry and heroine are p normalized these days. Same goes with
>Ginsberg.
Either are by no means conservative in the strict sense, but they’re not exactly radical either.
Joan Didion is another one that comes to mind

tremendous post lmao

>ginsberg would be considered conservative and non-pc

S-stop bullying Edward.

I've been called a "Canadian Hunter S Thompson" before great compliment and one that I certainly haven't forgotten. I've thought of it a lot, and in terms of what you're looking for OP I find it doubly accurate.

>Part of a counter culture
The culture of today is leftism, it's postmodern political correctness. I am against it.

>Degeneracy in their time
Slut walks (I enjoy tits, but celebrating whorishness is disgusting, especially in front of kids), made-up gender pronouns becoming defensible by law in some countries (Canada becoming one of them with bill C16 if I recall the name right), and bending over backwards for backwards camel-fucking extremist Muslims that want to kill innocent people and rape women and children? There are even leftists trying to push a new 'P' in the LGBT thing for 'pedophile' to try and destigmatize it. To try and make pedophilia 'normal'. Then there's the legislation being passed in California to make it legal to lie about being HIV-positive or having AIDS so as to have sex. There's a fuckload of leftist degeneracy in our time.

>Conservative
Fuck yeah.

>Non-PC
Milo is my favourite faggot.

>Author
Yeah, several books written and self-published, but obviously I'm not at any kind of real notoriety or fame. Still pretty new to the game though. God willing, there's still decades ahead for me to spend writing books. I've already got a few fans from around the world whom I keep in regular contact with.

>eccentricity
Eh, I dunno, probably not. Enthusiastic for sure.

I fucking hate leafs but keep going my nigger. Someday when we annex you fags and unite our common heritage as Americans, people like you will shine.

If Trudeau gets a second term, you can go ahead with the annexation. Oh how I'd love to live in Trump's America rather than Trudeau's cucked Canada. I would have loved to have heard Hunter's views of that sissy fucker. In truth it's already on my bucket list to get a home in America and spend enough time there to get naturalized dual Canadian-American citizenship. Put my vote to work in both countries, can handle cheap Chinese and Russian surplus in leafland but get AKs and FALs (both prohibited by name in Canada for scaring Liberals) in 'Murica.

I want to be an American so fucking bad, which is crazy, because just 5+ years ago I was just another brainwashing victim of leftist bullshit. Not anti-gun, of course not, I've never been anti-gun, but I was anti-American as FUCK! Thought America was the worst country on the planet, but nah, I've learned the fundamentals of America and what the Founding Fathers stood for. Fucking geniuses. I want to take part in that epic experiment in individual liberty and freedom.

motherfucking AMERICA

where you have a firefight with your neighbor if his cow walks onto your property

The longtime corruption of the democrat party since LBJ is only now coming to light. Back then the GOP was still the Nixon and Reagan party. I don't blame him. Keywords in the post "by today's standards."

Clinton then:
Opposed civil rights act of 1964
Didn't tolerate gays
Would never fly in today's political climate

Clinton now:
PC mouthpiece pushing psyop agenda.

You could've put her as an answer to OP. Old Hillary was a degenerate liberal who was socially conservative by today's standards. The fact she's morphed into what she is now is irrelevant.

Reactionary SJWs form the basis of what thoughtcrimes are today. Rationalizing things based off of what an SJW would be angry about is totally fair. They're the new paradigm of what flies in media.
Whether or not he is PC, racist, or an evil conservative is regardless. It's about perception.

That's not Milo - that's Al Franken.

Shootin' his Luger into the woods, love it, I recall seeing that clip for the first time on a Thompson documentary. Can't wait to get an AK...

>I recall seeing that clip for the first time on a Thompson documentary
Remember which one, by any chance? Nobody seems to know where it came from.

The comment that says it looks like it's straight out of Trailer Park Boys is hilariously accurate.

Breakfast, whiskey, and cocaine... or something like that. Breakfast with Hunter S Thompson.

I just did a bunch of searching on duckduckgo, my preferred non-Google search engine, and all I could find is "Breakfast with Hunter". I could have sworn it was something like "Something, Something, and Cocaine: Breakfast with Hunter", but I guess I was wrong. Anyways, it was probably 'Breakfast with Hunter'.

No, you're probably right. It's definitely not from Breakfast with Hunter. I should know because I watched the shit out of that movie when I was an edgy teenager. I'll look for the other one, thanks!

Nigger if you SERIOUSLY don't think HST would be a very vocal supporter of Sanders you should read his texts fawning over McGovern who was basically 70s Sanders.

I now recall there was a sequel to Breakfast with Hunter titled Animals, Whores & Dialogue. I think I've seen it, can't seem to remember this being in it though. Will check it out.

>implying Hunter wouldn't tear him apart for being a commie with three holiday homes and no refunds

I was going to say Kerouac. Him drunkenly irl shitposting at that hippy and the Jewish sociologist is definitely one of my favorite Firing Line episodes too.

There's records of Thompson complimenting both the IWW and the cuban revolution. The man was OBVIOUSLY way lefter than whatever left the US thinks it has.

Apparently he was a huge Che Guevarra fan. Just goes to show how bad drinking and drugs will fuck your mind. :)

I didn't say he was conservative. I said that he would be defunctionalized today because he doesn't adhere to the currently fashionable leftist orthodoxy. I can think of single sentences from his work that would end his career and have him blacklisted from numerous professions for life if written today.

How was he racist?

Socialists also love guns and hate Democrats

Left liberal orthodoxy.

He's more left wing than any mainstream US writer alive today

Nah Cuba today is objectively better than it was in the 50s

What about Pynchon?

Yeah, 'Animals, Whores and Dialogue', that must be it. If I didn't see the Luger clip there, then I dunno, maybe it was on Youtube sometime.

>How was he racist?
He's white. And Gentile. That's enough.
