"Underlining the need to work hard, respect the rules, and respect each other, Kast sounded much more like a traditional right-wing conservative than a pugnacious far-right zealot. He talked about state capacity, good governance, law and order, and civility."

James Joyce wore size six shoes.
Samuel Becket deliberately wore this small size as a painful
Tribute.
JJ was a pesky little man who would enjoy heavy drink in Dublin with the pugnacious Hemingway.
He would bait and irritate slow thinkers to an angry frenzy.
Then step aside and say
Deal with him

Hummingbirds are pugnacious little jerks. Our 2 resident hummers spend their time driving each other off the 3 feeders or teasing the cats.
They are amazing and gorgeous and they KNOW it. They’re the mean girls of backyard birds.

Mailer's work built on that of others', too. He tends to receive so much of the adulation, large public personality as he was. Mailer's Armies of the Night served to exercise his pugnacious ego. His fictional characters are like dumpster-dipped cardboard. I think John Hersey deserves more credit.

We’re a former superpower currently led by pugnacious anti-democratic, anti-Christian, white supremacist assholes who are hellbent on joining the axis of evil. Sickening! And they’re telling us and the rest of the world to go fock off!

... I struggle to imagine Robin Ince saying anything especially combative or pugnacious.
I imagine he'd make his point, qualify it, acknowledge reasonable problems/consequences of his position, then draw an analogy with something obscure he'd read, get sidetracked, & forget his original point.

There are some popular scientists/sci communicators who are, shall we say, "pugnacious" in style and approach. Think the issue with Lineker was only partly what he believed, but also a slightly combatitive approach (I agree with his views and his right to expression them as he did, BTW)... but...

Reading Adam Rutherford's "How To Argue with a Racist". Despite the pugnacious title it's largely a fun, readable and highly educational book about genetics (with the occasional glimpse into the worldview of white supremacists). I learned a lot.

I really don't understand what people's fixation is on Will being the Antichrist. He's pugnacious and strident, but no moreso than the best-adjusted Online Leftist™. Certainly I've never seen him say he wants to murder trans people or fantasize about purging anyone other than Republicans.

China will try to subvert Taiwan but won't outright invade it. A blockade of Mainland China by the US would result, and that would be the end of the communist government.
Keep in mind, the Chinese people are famously pugnacious. The government spends 80% of the military budget on INTERNAL security!

Correct, absolutely. However, it seems if aside from MAGA "liberals" [genuine or pretend] are being pugnacious, I'd guess, the admin leadershp has been successful.
Unfortunately not just MAGATS criticize our speaking out. For reasons unknown to me, even liberals make personal attacks on those of us who choose to be vocal. Criticize, argue, sure, that's healthy, but we have to stop the personal attacks. We have to make it safe to speak out.

Most guests at Essex Hall would have been mortified, but this was merely pugnacious wit between friends. I had positioned myself near the retiring room door—a useful exit when Shaw found his rhythm. Still, his point about worlds worth warring over, I concede, had genuine Shavian merit.
