Bill Maher “The Woke are snitches and bitches”; Twitter loses its mind

Twitter

First off, Bill should get rid of his audience completely. His clapping seals are annoying and even Bill seemed somewhat annoyed by them last night. Unlike Kimmel, Colbert, and Noah who proved during the pandemic that they’re not funny, Bill’s show actually got better without his audience and proved he was actually funny. I know comedians are addicted to their audience, but his audience is universally terrible.

But onto the substance, he found some real doozies of cancel culture I wasn’t aware of when it came to cancel culture. Apparently the composer for the Olympics was fired because he admitted in an interview in 1994 that he bullied some classmates as a child. And this comes from the biggest bullies this country has ever seen.

And cultural appropriation is the dumbest shite I’ve ever heard. If our species had that mindset forever, the first tribe that discovered salt can help preserve meat would have massacred the tribe next door that found out about it and tried it out for themselves. We’d not only have never left Africa, but our species would in all likelihood be extinct.

And to any sane person, everything Bill said there was correct… but not to Twitter and thus proving his point. Some of the top comments:

quote:

Wow, you are five minutes away from a FOX News show. Rest In Peace Bill. I will remember you for your past work.

quote:

Native Hawaiians aren’t saying “only we can surf” They are pointing out that Hawaii, much like the mainland US, has a dark history of racism There are people alive there today who remember the islands before the white invasion came and bought all their land and relegated the natives to second class citizen, priced them out of their homes and forced the vast majority in to service jobs catering to the same white People who displaced them to begin with.

quote:

it's not progress. it's evolution. it's just an annoying step in our social evolution. you said it in the last 2 minutes. EMPATHY. yet you don't allow yourself that for ppl who seem to push your buttons. i would love to learn more about the history of surfing. but u, not curious.

quote:

Cancel culture isnt even a real thing. What people have actually been “cancelled”? WTF does that even mean, that a bunch of people on Twitter made you feel bad? If Michael Jackson was alive today and had a concert he would sell out Madison Square Garden in 7 minutes.


There’s no way Bill will have his show at this rate by the end of 2022. So long as HBO keeps paying him I’d keep it up, but Bill should be getting his ducks in a row to start up a podcast because quite frankly Bill doesn’t have to say anything new to get fired. And again, his show would greatly improve with no audience or being forced to stick to an hour. Regardless completely do away with the audience at this point.

When Bill Maher is the voice of reason you know the end is nigh.

Some Hawaiians are so bitter and mad.

Bill for sure. Bill hasn’t changed my life, nor is he a threat to me.

I’ve badmouthed him every step. But the motherfricker is definitely not part of the craze and he’s no Keith Olberwoman.

To be honest I don’t know why his actual base continues to watch him. Save for a case of TDS he hasn’t changed, it’s his audience that has.

I don't care a lot for Maher, I think he's a weasel, but I do have to admit occasionally he will be spot on about something.

What’s the root behind irrational TDS though? It’s not just about the man, it’s an utter contempt for fly over country, imo

While I agree that “cancel culture” is a cancer and needs to end, this is a bad example to use. This was not simple bullying by a child. This was prettty disgusting abuse of another kid with a handicap.

The problem with Maher and people like him is that, even though he is spot on here, he will continue to support and vote for Democrats who promote and support the exact thing he is wailing against.

He might have some credibility if he ever actually supported some conservatives because, while he may not agree with everything issue on their platform, they aren’t trying to destroy the country.

But he will never do that.

I honestly don't know the backstory here, but I do know that kids are mean, cruel and do dumb shite. Myself included.

Hopefully, the kid bully was disciplined, learned and grew from said incident into a wiser adult. I did. But if the cancel is the new normal, then so be it.

Anyway, thought Maher segment was funny, wall dig and all.

Watched that clip. The audience reaction is cringe AF. They aren't who he thinks they are. In fact the "moderates" he is supposed to appeal to largely don't exist anymore. His back and forth shtick is going to come back and bite him in the arse. Can't feel sorry for him though, he is reaping what he has sown.

These threads are pointless.

Bill Maher is an entertainer with a polarizing act. His shtick isn’t as effective when his side is in power. All his takes lately are things that people in the center to right of the political spectrum have been harping on for decades. He is saying this shite for eyeballs and ratings. That’s it.

Nothing to see here.

Honestly next to Rosie, Bill probably had the biggest reason to hate Trump over all other celebrities before running for office. Bill once made a joke about Trump on his show, and Trump sued Maher for saying he can’t prove he’s not the son of an orangutan. This lawsuit continued for like a year costing Bill tens of thousands of dollars. So outside of anything political, I understand why Bill hates Trump.

He made a mentally retarded classmate eat feces amd masturbate. As an adult, he laughed about it while recounting the story for a magazine interview. It doesn’t sound like he grew into a wiser adult. It sounds like he is a POS.
