Ominous Parallels

Bill Maher provides some timely criticisms of the current woke revolution in this enlightening and humorous clip.

“The problem with communism and some very recent ideologies here at home is that they think you can change reality by screaming at it; that you can bend human nature by holding your breath. But that’s the difference between reality and your mommy.”

“Yesterday I asked Chat GPT “Are there any similarities between today’s woke revolution and Chairman Mao’s cultural revolution of the 1960s?” And it wrote back “How long do you have?””

  1. I recall one of his shows where he had on a random bunch of midwits and Zachary Quinto, who when not playing grim SF characters looks like a mincing twink.

    The topic was gun control, and after the usual empty shibboleths from the panel the gay science fiction actor calmly destroyed the rest of them with references to Constitutional originalism, essential liberty and self-defense. Maher was gobsmacked. He clearly hadn’t bothered to vet Quinto’s views before inviting him on.

    Yes, Maher may have noticed that the crocodile has finally gotten around to eating him, too, but he’s always been firmly on the side of the sneering libs who hate you and your lifestyle.

    1. He was on a roll … till he claimed Global Warming was more than a theory. CAGW … that is, because OF COURSE … we all know the planet has been steadily warming since the last ice age. But human caused catastrophically accelerated global warming due to the burning of fossil fuels is just so much FAILED computer modeling. Nonsense. Fake science.

      1. He’s been mocking Republicans for 30 years… and hasn’t noticed that the climate is the same.

  2. “When men choose not to believe in God, they do not thereafter believe in nothing, they then become capable of believing in anything.”

  3. How long before he admits he’s conservative? That he’s taken the red pill? he’s sounding more and more like one of us every week.

  4. I have a soft spot for equal opportunity offenders. I lied him back in the “Politically Incorrect” days. You can catch his old stand up comedy shows on Internets, he was merciless in his critique of the elites both D and R. Then he made a capital mistake and used the wrong words when describing the 911 hijackers and got cancelled by the right. For the following two decades he declared a vendetta on the right and only recently he started to seriously rip into the woke mob left again. Good on him.

    Of course he will fail the purity test of many here…

      1. I have been following him for a decades, he is not fooling me. I know what he represents and am able to see the good and the bad. You on the other hand are a teamplayer, who divides the world into his team and everyone else who (by definition are impure) are on the enemy team. You’re a moron. You have demonstrated your moronic limitations when you declared that anyone who supports Ukraine supports all leftists causes because Potato and Brandon happen to support Ukraine (the only good thing they ever did), and you are demonstrating it again. The world would be better place if you devoted your life to breaking heavy objects with your skull.

          1. “ You on the other hand are a teamplayer, who divides the world into his team and everyone else who (by definition are impure) are on the enemy team. You’re a moron. ”

            “Russians = filthy useless orcs”

          2. I must say I had a higher opinion about your cognitive skills. Should I spare you the embossment or do you need to have it explained how pitiful your attempt at constructing this parallel was?

            Also, what do you mean “useless”? They make great sunflower fertilizer.

          3. You ought to know by now how futile it is to expect the Orc Dork to understand anything.

          4. Johan, allow me to explain. You’re confusing two unrelated issues.

            First there is Ward demanding purity Jacobin style. I have explained my position re Maher, I like Maher although I very often disagree with him. Probably more often than I agree with him. To him it inevitably means that Maher has me fooled. Because Maher is not on his team. That is consistent with Ward earlier accusing me of supporting WEF/Soros/liberal agenda du jeour/conversion therapy/ect etc etc because I support Ukraine and despise Pootin and his Siberian Mongol, orcish horde. Ward is a low IQ is moron who cannot think in other terms. He’d probably have an aneurism if he tried to understand that I can support Trump, believe that his election was stolen, oppose the disgraceful witch hunt that has been cruelly subjected to, and yet believe that Trump is 100% wrong on Ukraine. That level of impurity does not fit Jacobin teamplayer’s shortbus mind.

            Second, there is me using the term “orcs”. “Orcs” is a derogatory term commonly used as substitute for “russian” by Ukrainians. It is not different that “Hun”, “Jap”, “Gook” or “Haji” used in other wars. So orc supporters get offended by it? FETE. It is no more offensive than “Ukes” or “Ukronazis”.

            So now that we have got that cleared out, do you see how you trying to compare the first with the second makes no sense at all, and any attempts to do so are embarrassing? You’re welcome.

  5. Bill is a Childless FILTHY LIBERAL.
    He Doesn’t care about the future. Why should he?
    Glad he made this Speech but he is still the enemy.

    He still hates Conservatives and real men. And he’ll vote for more of it. I hope they come for him soon, before people start thinking he is one of us. He Is Not One Of Us.

  6. How long before he admits he’s conservative? Nah that ain’t happening soon. Bill is too jaded and cynical for that; he’s just tired of the left’s constant default position of having to believe 6 impossible things before breakfast.

  7. And Michele Obama tweets at Boko Haram, “Bring back our girls.” They are so intoxicated with virtual virtue that they believe objective reality is effectively countered by the fantasies in their heads.
