- A good example of horseshoe theory.Chimp
- How is this horseshoe? Maher has always been right-wing.garbage
- Maher's fairly central and grounded... He seems to prefer to speak toward reality which often confuses folks into thinking he's a righty...PonyBoy
- God forbid someone call BS on actual BS... some dopes on the left confuse him as rightwing because he calls out your bullshit... such a silly reaction. <3PonyBoy
- Maher (as with most older libs) start their life full of idealist leftist nonsense. As the get older they become the onese they mocked in their youth.hotroddy
- why he have to be either/or? fuck this idea that we all need to sit in a very particular defined political corner.inteliboy
- The far left idea of cultural appropriation is similar to the far right’s racism.Chimp
- https://youtu.be/Ev3…Chimp
- the far right storms the capitol... so much fur cultural appropriation..neverscared
- Far left government blocks bank accounts of protesters.Chimp
- Far left governments in China and Russia have killed millions.Chimp
- no shit sherlock... and the far right ?neverscared
- they wanna hang mike pence and make abortions illegal... great job guys...neverscared
- That’s my whole point about horse shoe theory. The far left and far right end up being pretty similar.Chimp
- not similar enough... abortion, climate change . migration. drug legalisation., healthcare, free university.... no rightwingers there..neverscared
- Yeah Maher is a ultra-rich and out of touch libertarian. Hard to call him a centrist given his history of racism, bigotry, transphobia, xenophobia, etc.garbage
- Plus he dated Ann Coulter back in the day, lol.garbage
- lol.^ you probably think Salman Rushdie is an Islamaphobehotroddy
- It’s funny how the woke left shout racist / transphobic <insert new slur here> at anyone who doesn’t agree with their position.Chimp
- The left started the culture war and sowed the seeds for the likes of Trump to gain traction.Chimp
- they 'label' people to get out of arguments as with any populist movement.hotroddy
- its the right accomplishment that joe biden won, because their are so weak...neverscared
- i listened to mahers random podcast 2-3 episodes... he is pretty weak .. when no ones writing for him... kinda dumbo when it comes to it.neverscared
- the only culture war we saw was the right storming the capitol and killing law enforcement by doing so....neverscared
- I dont mind Bill, but he doea Cherrypick facts for a quick wintank02
- can u believe it ..blaming the left that the right can´t keep their shit togehter, that the get all upset and start an insurrection.. that makes the right evenneverscared
- more puny and dumb in how they operate. lol..neverscared
- as in war Some pro-Trump media figures reacted to the search at Mar-a-Lago with talk of ‘war,’ the clearest outburst of such language since the days leading upneverscared
- https://www.nytimes.…neverscared
- @hotroddy Um, it's pretty obvious from reading it that he's not an Islamophobe, but was using blasphemy as a narrative device.garbage
- But you knew that because you read it decades ago, and not just a recent headline, right?garbage
- @chimp I only give reasoned responses, never shouting labels and whining. Transphobia is 100% a wedge issue the right is grinding on, so sorry if I push back.garbage
- There's a weird dichotomy where arguments from the right tend to be pretty hateful, but if called out on bullshit it's shockedpikachuface.g...garbage
- 'arguments from the right tend to be pretty hateful'
For each hateful righty argument I can find a comparable line from the left. Both sides do this regularly.PonyBoy - Maher's grow up a bit... he seems able to call an asshole and asshole — regardless of political party.PonyBoy
- I’m not sure why people need to identify as left or right when the people in control want to fuck us all over.Chimp
- It’s a shame people are so tribal about it and when someone with a common sense centrist point of view gets called whatever slur is in fashion for disagreeingChimp
- centrist is the new right wing, when blaming the left for the deadly violence of the right as in jan.6 and trump.neverscared
- we get it u try to smear the desasters of the right on to the left .. a desperate and mortifying method you are trying to establich ...neverscared
- 19 people died in the BLM riots. BLM founder then stole millions. For every terrible thing the right does there is an equally terrible thing the left does.Chimp
- Or we could perhaps see the left right divisions as a false agenda to divide people.Chimp
- Perhaps the real enemies are the billionaires who lobby our governments. It’s in their interest that the rest of are fighting over pronouns.Chimp
- Or maybe it's just annoying when rich, out-of-touch, libertarian old folks like Bill Maher with massive media platforms think they have any idea..garbage
- ..what a normal person's life is. And all the racism, bigotry, and yadda yadda. Dude once tried to equate mentally handicapped children to his dogs.garbage
- His whole shtick is that he "tells it like it is" and nobody can tell him to stop. That falls flat when his jokes suck and he can't even find America's pulse.garbage
- You seem triggered. Take it easy.Chimp
- The "New Rules" are him telling it how he wants it to be, and him thanking his lucky fucking stars he was grandfathered into celebrity status.garbage
- If you can’t attack the message, attack the messenger.Chimp
- I'm clearly attacking his message in all of this. I didn't say "he's a nasally dork". I said he's a rich, out of touch racist with a history of saying really..garbage
- ..shit things. Find your ad hominem elsewhere, and step off if you can't keep things.. what's the phrase? Facts over feelings.garbage
