Admiring all cultures/races = loathing your own

No, admiring other cultures is quite possible without loathing your own, despite what leftist dogma teaches.

Admiring ALL cultures, however, is an indication that one is probably self loathing and sycophantic.

“Really admire those Nazi, and cannibal, and women mutilating cultures bro! I admire all cultures!”

Derp derp

Fuck man... RIP Bourdain, you were a badass dude. I'll miss that guy. He got me go to try French restaraunts and even take a stab at making the cuisine nyself. I still have demi glace ice cubes I made in the freezer. I'm gonna make a beef bourginoin and some baguettes for dinner.

I never heard of this (apparently (?)) TV (internet?) chef before this morning.

Go read the book Kitchen Confidential.

+1

His book is incredible. His shows are modern art, and opened my eyes to a whole lot of things.

For StA & Fife - I recommend watching Parts Unknown s11 e1, to get an idea of what the mans about. He did your Appalachia a good turn.

I've never heard him say anything political so I'd like to think he got sloshed with some German and tried to express some drunken utopian opinion. I can forgive him for that. Or maybe he is really is a ultra lefty fuckstick. Still don't care. Great dude. Kitchen Confidential was one of the funniest things I've ever read in my life.

He was asked recently what he would serve at the Trump and Kim summit if he was forced to cook for them.
His answer was hemlock.

Being a Trump hater isn't a deal breaker for me. I have some family that hate him. It's just politics. Hope he's in heaven cookin cassoulet for everyone drinkin bourbon highballs.

Seems like self-loathing based on demographic identity would just be one stop between mentally healthy and swinging from a rope. I mean, millions of white people believe that white people are somehow evil and owe everyone else an apology, but only a few hang themselves. Maybe it goes:

Healthy mind -> identity politics -> SJW -> hard drugs/alcohol addiction -> suicide

Most people headed down that particular path of mental illness choosing to stop long before they hit the final point.

Or maybe it doesn’t go like that at all. It just seems that self loathing over ones own race and the decision to commit self annihilation would be related somehow.

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Watch his show, or read his book. You’re making a fool of yourself.

Was it hate or was it humour?

Watched his show. Saw a decent culinary show. No heroics.

Only fool here is the guy mourning the loss of a “hero” - because fetishizing celebrities isn’t a mark of high intelligence.

Bourdain? I don't know, I've never heard him talk politics, I only have that video you posted and his response you quoted. You got a 75% chance of whatever he says being sarcastic or a joke, so I don't know and honestly I don't really care. He was a talented dude and it's a bummer for me.

damn, i'd hate to have my life summarized into an off the cuff joke about hemlock, especially if i had as crazy of a life as that guy did

I've never heard him talk politics,

Maybe a smidge while commenting on whether something is good stoner food or not.

He spoke politically plenty, just not on Parts Unknown.
