On 'Real Time,' host Bill Maher added that he feels "both generations are giving away their flaws" with the older generation being "too open" and the younger being "too sensitive."
I hate how Bill tries to pretend to be a Democrat or that he’s challenging his own party when he’s clearly a conservative based on the things he says and does.
I use to watch him, and didn’t like some of his opinions. When covid hit, he started talking crazy and started spreading misinformation about masks. I stopped watching him altogether.
I agree with this, though he does claim to be a Libertarian. But IIRC, the Libertarians took him to task for his positions and rejected that claim.
I still watch his show, but more for the trainwreck aspect of it. The standup section is sometimes okay, but some of the panel discussion topics and the direction they take, including the panel guests that are chosen - some definite choices are being made there, yikes.
Sure but because of the backlash, not the principle.
He only cancelled the shows because doing them would hurt his career more than not doing them. There was no solidarity with the actual people who do the work of putting him on the air; he was fully willing to do the show and break the picket line before before he realized the strike was ending soon enough anyway.
He’s just another “fuck you, I got mine” reactionary.
I am as atheist as they come and his “documentary” Religulous is one of the most cringe fucking films I have ever seen. Dude just goes around to rural towns and engages mega low IQ simple folk sorta christians in “debate” over religion and it was just sad to watch. The whole movie is basically a dude shooting fish in a barrel and then fellating himself for it. Embarrassing.
Dude used to pander to liberals until everyone realized he was full of shit so now he panders to Joe Rogan style conservatives because he wasn’t getting the praise he so craves from the former group.
I was a young college student questioning the beliefs I was raised with when it came out, I think it prolonged my apostasy because all his arguments were so condescending and not even well argued
I think there is a conversation to be had about the few instances where what is called “cancel culture” has gone in bad directions. Seems to be some aspects of a moral panic at times and in very narrow parts of society (that don’t have the broader reach that cons claim they do).
However.
It does not involve what happened to Cuomo, nor would it include the whining that Maher tends to do.
Of course he said this on Bill Maher. Maher would give a platform to this piece of shit. And back him up.
God I hate Bill Maher.

He’s a libertarian, I think he’s always been one people we’re just confused when he criticized the Iraq War.

I stopped watching when he made every single episode a reactionary screed against trans people and covid restrictions.
His scabbing just confirmed my opinion that he’s a shitbird who thinks he’s owed money and attention for being famous.
I thought he backed out of the scabbing?

Understandable. He represented the atheist perspective like an asshole. Who’d wanna side with him?
Yeah, he’s an absolute scumbag.

The problem is that there are so many people who try to have this conversation in bad faith that I can understand why people would be wary of it
Exactly correct.
