Poor Bill Maher. Ticking everybody off again. Well, good on him. I watch a lot of US media during the week, but only feel I get anything real about America when I watch Bill.
If only we could cancel the cancellers.
Maher’s an anti-vax hack, who is suddenly “pick me”-ing with the right now that he has money. He cries about cancel culture while being “cancelled” since the 90s and patting himself on the back for “exposing” Milo Yiannopoulis and “cancelling” him. So which is it, Billiam? Good or bad? And if you’re so cancelled, why the fuck am I still hearing about your dumbass and trash takes?
@bbyrd009 while that was pretty incoherent, I’m going to assume you’re saying that vaccines have only been around for like 80 years?
And I’m going to say that various Native nations invented the injection as a medicinal treatment. And yeah man. 1/4 of a period of time since something has existed is a long fucking time, relatively. How those smallpox hitting these days, fren?
He is pretty funny sometimes, I am turned off by his condescending attitude
You are in Idaho. Toughen up.
Maher's war on cancel culture ignores the cancel culture from the Evangelicals and Conservatives that has gone on for centuries against minorities, women, Jews, progressives and against science. Cancel culture may go too far occasionally, but we've become so used to the cancel culture coming from corporations and conservatives we don't even recognize it.
The problem of apologizing is that the racist idiot GOP never do it because they have no shame.
@David1955 You're right that Maher hasn't forgotten. However, he's beating a dead horse. His objections will be ignored, especially as he veers toward parroting Libertarian talking points, his credibility among Progressives plummets. Some percent of cancel culture will always be excessive, and it will always be an easy target for cheap laughs that have no meaning. He takes it way too seriously, as if those jokes will have an effect on the also all-too-serious SJWs.
Real cancel culture is not Dr Zuess letting a couple of books go out of print. It is govt depts being told that they cannot use the phrase "climate change" and guys like Noam Chomsky being banned from university campuses.
Twitter give those who are nonsensical and often overtly warped a voice that in the past would be ignored or laughed off!!!
Today these unintelligent moronic idiots have a voice far beyond their abilities too put forth a civil discourse or actually contribute to our culture and society!,,
Bill is right we need to cancel the cancel culture of a few who could afford an internet connection!!!
He delivers every now and then.
He rather seems infatuated with his own cleverness, though.
I'm more in the Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert camp.
And Stephen Colbert's sister ran for congress critter for my district a few years back
Colbert is my favourite. Despite his Catholicism.
Murka is a giant pasture. When you fill it full of cows, there's one guranteed result.
That result being ... shit from border to border and raving lunatics in charge of the asylum!
@anglophone Always good to get opinions from the denizens of lesser countries.
