Magnificent. Great work, everyone. xD

The Apple and Tesla ones made me laugh.

But since Endless Growth is impossible, what you’re saying sounds more like an argument for needing an entirely different system.

This is why Endless Growth is, and always has been, foolish. And that’s being kind.

Incorrect. Growth is endless. It’s the fundamental underpinning of Capitalism!

The new normal being the exact same normal is so obvious and expected. The CEOs that thought a Pandemic run on items was going to last forever I guess thought the Pandemic would never be solved? even though most of them wanted everything to stay open as normal anyways? Also how are you going to maintain the same…

Fuck that “times were different back then” and “we would have done the same as terrible people did because it was a long time ago” bullshit. I grew up in the ‘80's in the deep South surrounded by racists. I knew it was wrong then. I didn’t participate and got the fuck out to NYC as soon as I could. It was wrong then…

Well yeah, if we were to accurately define what most people are calling “Cancel Culture,” then its really just “people make angry or snarky comments/tweets/articles about you on the internet and it has little or no effect on your job, finances, or social standing” which does apply to lots of content here.

He’s become bad enough as it is, but my bigger beef is he gives all the wrong people a platform. 

I think you have a big misunderstanding about what a leftist is. You should look into that.

Talk about whining

Why do I need to hear yet more racist sexist bullshit that we’ve all been drowning in for years now?

yep, real time was a great rite of passage for me as a twenty-something, newly atheist, trying to understand politics.
but things change, and he didn’t. which is fine; he can be mad about the young people and their newfangled ways. i’m sure his audience is happy to do the same.
but me, i’m old and i only have so…

Like many of us who came to our senses, I stopped watching years ago. Aside from his shit-for-brains cranky old man neoliberal takes on everything, the thing I don’t miss all the cringy parts where he abuses the audience.

Maher is not a liberal. Never was. He’s a bigot (anti trans, anti muslim, anti religion, anti science, anti vaccine) who’s only consistent anti conservative stance is that he wants to smoke pot.

There was a late teens/early-20's version of me who was angered, deeply, by the Bush years and the rise of the irreligious Right, and when people would say things my guts or my angry self agreed with, I viewed them with great respect. I went through a “Bill Maher is funny, and right!” and a “Man those New Atheists!”…

I used to watch this show.

Move that goalpost! 

The only redeeming moment in this show’s history was when Ben Affleck tore Maher a new asshole for his Islamaphobia alongside Bernie Sanders.

I used to watch him, but apart from some of his more questionable guest choices, I got tired of him constantly trying to throw trans-people under the bus.
