I don't understand the reference to his anti-vax. He was vaccinated against covid and urged others to do likewise.

@David1955 gestures to video
He’s been anti-vaxx for 20 years. Good, if he changed his mind now. He’s been doing damage for 20+ fucking years.

@Kahna ah, so only like a quarter as long as vaccines have been doing them eh

@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?

@Kahna hitting the weak in order to improve the gene pool, just like it’s supposed to; but the chief difference might be that people who prefer to vaccinate are fine with me
but we do compensate vaccine victims in a special court and everything

@bbyrd009 oh I’m sorry I didn’t realize I was talking to a Eugenics believer.

I’ll not waste my time then. You’re disgusting.

@Kahna “ppl who prefer to vaccinate are fine with me”

on my posterity's dime, no less
you're welcome

You are in Idaho. Toughen up.

Some do that, while others download the whole show using a VPN to conceal their location. Terrible.

Yes. If you're offending both sides you must be doing something right. The hysterical attacks on Maher from the Left -- like the TYT people -- are just silly. While I admire their Les Miserable-like 'build the barracade' zeal, a little older wiser counsel is also helpful. They are big enough that they should know this. In the 60s they used to say, 'you sold out man!' to anyone who had outgrown their student radical days; that's an anachronism now, but the sentiment remains.

I agree, but I don't think Maher has forgotten any of that. I think he knows his audience knows this and it doesn't have to be said. He sees the cancel culture wokism as destructive to the Left and I think he's right. All these new terms aside, it's simply censorship in another name.

@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.

@racocn8 I agree that he may be too close to the subject -- working in a field where cancel culture is rife, knowing those who have been canceled. But then, it affects him directly, and it doesn't mean he is wrong.

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.

Colbert is my favourite. Despite his Catholicism.

Look for eternity and you won't find me on Twitter. In other words, I agree.

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.

@Secretguy
I hope that when you typed lesser countries, you meant smaller.

@Holysocks LOL!. That Murka needs to be made great Again tells me all I need to know about it. @Secretguy

@Holysocks Had I meant "smaller", I'd have typed "smaller".

@Secretguy
Typical murkan.

@Secretguy nationalism is just as much a corrosive delusional belief system, as religion.

@Mvtt
Very well put.
