New Rule: Cancel Culture is Over Party | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

[@floras2030]

As a minority, I rather you ask "stupid questions" about my culture, instead of assuming I would be offended and stop the communication before it even begins.

[@kilotango1537]

As a white person from a small midwestern town with few minorities, I am not afraid of asking stupid questions to a minority, but rather, I am concerned of triggering the overly-woke outrage-mob which can't tell the difference between ignorance and intentional racist hatred. Well, ok, I'm not THAT concerned, but I'd rather not get my accounts lit up over that kind of thing. So...the conversations are stifled... and it's not because of minorities, but because of self-righteous people who are creating problems oddly similar to the ones they are trying to fix.

[@sinistereleven9145]

"minority", maybe, where do you live.

[@livefreeprintguns]

If only they were even *slightly interested* in productive discourse... they just want to see the people who don't agree with them burn.

[@claimouth662]

Thank you. I've gotten in trouble several times asking what were apparently stupid questions to people of colour. With nothing more than the intent to start a friendly conversation with a black woman who had a clear African accent, I asked her "so you're from Africa?". She got offended and said "Africa isn't a country, its a continent". Though I didn't say it, I was like "yeah sure, but there are like 50 countries in Africa. Do you expect me to know which one of those you are from?" I think all this political correctness and "sensitivity" rubbish is really just about causing division. At least that is what it is doing regardless of its stated intent.

[@floras2030]

I used to work with cultural exchange programs abroad, and still occasionally do cultural presentations in America. Those programs are where people can feel safe asking questions. I've heard plenty of "stupid questions" about America too, like "are all Americans fat?" (While me and my American co-worker standing there were stick skinny😅) Or "Why dress up on Halloween, it's so degrading." (from a teacher) They are not trying to be mean, but genuinely curious.

They would never admit that. He threw them their groupthink bone when he said that "Republicans" are appropriating the term and using it when one of their own gets their "just comeuppance." The only reason the Right is talking about cancel culture is because it's almost exclusively the Left who is partaking in censorship and cancel culture. I guess that's what happens when an ideological group has almost complete control of the political and cultural institutions. It happened with Christians, and now it's happening with the religion of woke.

[@DarknessIsThePath]

Experienced that myself, it was easier to deal with Superman than this nonsense.

[@Rick-the-Swift]

It's due to the 'divide and conquer' strategy that's been played out, controlled by the progressive corporate liberals who have taken over almost every facet of our lives- Public Schools, Health Care, Food Administration, Television Media and Social Platforms, Industrial Military Complex, etc. etc. There's a reason they don't call it 'scatter and conquer', as they can't build a billion person army that way. They have to divide one group to their side, and then group their enemies together as well, so that their brainwashed robot soldiers can easily know exactly who to start shooting down. On one side, all the "nutjobs" believe in some magical sky daddy figure which the superstitious fools have been calling God, who are obviously very sick/dangerous/brainwashed people that they'd allow a fairytale to govern their lives- any kindergartener can understand that, and many are coming to that understanding daily, as that is what they are being taught from day one in the Public Schools. On the other side, the "educators", and the "scientists", etc. know a great deal about everything, from physics, to astronomy, to math and medicine, and their word should always be final over the superstitious fools who obviously have a mental disease in order for them to believe in the archaic nonsense that they do. Tomorrow there will be more kids than yesterday, all going home from their field trips to gay bars, or watching the cartoon videos at schools titled something like, " How to Spot a Covid Denier", perhaps they will even be watching kiddie p0rn on netflix from their smart devices, and they'll go home and begin looking suspiciously at their parents who might not agree with what all the doctors, teachers, and media organizations are saying is best for children. Then will come the rebellion stage necessary to break them away, which they will also promote through Hollywood movies, as well as shows on, Disney, Mtv, Nickelodeon etc. For some 12 years or longer for many, they'll keep forging the youngsters into being their allies, encouraging them to defend the rest of the hive, and yes, even be offended when just one of theirs is made fun of or provoked. By the time they're of voting age, the one's who are motivated to vote the most will almost certainly vote for the liberal democrats, because their "rock stars" like Barrack Obama told them they should all be voting "democrat all the way down the ticket". And this is precisely why Nancy Pelosi and others have been pushing to lower the voting age to 16, because they know good and well that should dramatically increase the democrat voters who they can just put on a school bus and haul straight down to the polls- all on the tax payers' dollars! Unfortunately, even as these kids graduate and move on to "adulthood", all too many will succumb to the pleasant warmth in which the liberal hive provides. The brainwashing will be complete, and they will never have the chance to molt and grow their conservative feathers.🤧 But I'm sure you were probably already aware of much of this. And I agree, the democrat party sucks!

So if you decide you want to use racial epithets & the person you direct your comments to decides to punch you in the face, knocking you to the ground, should you have the right to sue that person? George Zimmerman shot & killed an unarmed teenager because he decided to play cop & he he was allowed to walk free! So what crime did Treyvon Martin commit? So 12 year old Tamir Rice, was shot dead by police, what crime did he commit to deserved to be executed in such a brutal& violent way & Breonna Taylor an EMT worker was sleeping in her bed & she was shot dead by police, serving a no knock warrant, at the wrong property & at the wrong location! So how do you get justice in that situation? The list goes on & on of the injustice in this country, particularly against Black people & people of color! The history of United States is replete with the atrocities perpetrated against so-called minority groups! So I disagree that people wanna be controlled, as some has suggested in this form, people want justice, they want accountability, reparations for past transgressions & they do not want to be controlled & cancel culture is nonsense, because you can’t cancel what has happened, that’s like saying you can cancel history, both concepts are ridiculous!

Cries of "cancel culture" come mainly from whiny privileged people trying to hold on to status they didn't earn and don't fucking deserve. The real problem is that many White folks, men, cis-hets , (whoever feels they’re the dominant group) have this disgusting habit of insisting on making everything about how they’re being oppressed. Black person says don’t call me the n-word: “censorship!” “You’re violating my right to freedom of expression!” Woman complains about sexism or harassment: “Can’t even compliment these cunts nowadays without getting called a rapist!” Someone calls for cultural sensitivity: “You’re always claiming you believe in tolerance but when I say all blacks are lazy thugs, all immigrants from Spanish-speaking countries are rapists and all Muslims are from ISIS you try to silence me! Waaaaaaaa!” Most opponents of cancel culture (usually butthurt, right-wing straight white males) are nothing but irredeemable bigots rooting for the days where they could rape or murder folks in marginalized groups for blinking wrong. Right-leaning folks want so badly to be victims and victimizers all at once, no wonder they have to resort to everything from voter suppression (canceling) to lynching (canceling) to genocide (big canceling) to stay in power. The objective reality is that it is the cancel culture mentioned above that has “gone too far,” not the scary (mostly for irredeemably evil right-wingers) cancel culture that puts misogynists, anti-Semites, white nationalists and other shitty excuses for humans in their places. No wonder the right is resorting to insurrection when they lose elections.

@@taylorg1585 I get it, I still think that the far-Left as a group have the power to cancel him and they might because they don’t like him right now. It’s also could just be for show. Some think that Bill is saying this stuff just to try and appeal to more Right of Center people in his audience even though he has no intention of moving more moderate or even Right.

@@orange22ify It ain't the Republicans canceling everyone for not agreeing with them. That hypersensitivity is coming from the Left. I disagree with Maher most of the time. But I wouldn't petition for his removal just because he might "offend" me. That's precisely what snowflakes do.

[@CallsignVega]

Ya from about five years between 2005 and 2010 Bill was my idol as I considered myself a sensical/rational classical liberal. Then the nut-case far left hijacked "liberalism/democrats' with cancel culture, restrictions on free speech, safe spaces etc I just call myself an independent now. Nothing is more illiberal than cancel culture and free speech restrictions.

[@nathanv4320]

Very much agree he just needs to be careful that he is not canceled himself talking truth

[@brucewayne1662]

@@nathanv4320 It actually happened to him when he was on Politically Incorrect, only then it was mostly conservatives who canceled him (Im ashamed to say as I am a conservative). That's probably why he so strongly pro free speech and why he always breaks with the left on issues of free speech.
