Hitchens has fallen into the category of "verysmart" persons, who are cited by "verysmart" persons when they want to sound "verysmart".

The argument comes from a place of privilege, is egregiously reductionist, and completely ignores simple precepts like yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.

Ironically, you come off as one of those "verysmart" persons you mock since Hitchens addresses the "shouting fire in a crowded theater" analogy in the same video I linked. At the beginning I might add.

That's my point about ignoring it. He immediately moves to justifying the yelling part, while ignoring the underlying logic of harm-causing.
