"It takes a lot of integrity to run a democracy and we're short of integrity in this country." Great analysis!

[@dice1296]

it really just takes semi-politically literate voters. we already had a high level of political ignorance/apathy in america...then came the misinformation age. terrible combo. we need to be teaching both civics and LOGIC. "does this conspiracy theory even make sense?", etc.

[@ddale20]

When you only embrace the handouts mentality of the democrats, and you won’t talk to republicans, then it’s not both sides. Why should republicans waste time and money on us knowing that we don’t vote for them. Make both sides listen, then vote for the best candidate. We can’t make progress when democrats take us for granted and republicans won’t listen. That why Hispanics and Asians are listened to. They don’t know how they are going to vote!

_"It takes a lot of integrity to have a democracy."_ -Wynton Marsalis Amen brother. Politics has become, by definition: _'the art of the lack of integrity.'_

[@coachwendy5618]

The US is a democratic republic. Because most liberals don't understand what that means, they're actually losing support. The tide is turning because people aren't falling for the lies anymore. Too many governmental boundaries were breached and the liberal media has been losing ground since Fauci, Biden, Hillary, Liz, Kamala, Pelosi, etc. have been exposed as the false demigods that think they are above the law. People are tired of being treated like they're idiots and are not falling for the lies. Bill has seen the writing on the wall. The left is losing ground due to extremists. Media ratings are tanking. The truth is coming out thanks to independent reporting from those who have left the media outlets that are trying to control speech. Freedom will rule once and for all!

Definitely. It was great. Haven't had a show this good and awhile.

[@Games_and_Music]

@@mihailtelematico660 It needed a bit more introspection from a female side, but i don't think they were specifically wrong, just kinda one-sided. I do think that videogames could've been next on the list, but yeah, i still agreed with the majority of their takes, and i also think that videogames could add to it, but as a life long videogamer, i know i'm not particularly like those guys taking it out on others. I mean, next up would be music, metal music etc., growing up in the 90s, i was a big Nirvana fan as a kid already, and listen to metal for the most part, and again, it wouldn't make me want to kill people, if anything, the aggressive tone of the music actually channels some of the anger away, granted that i don't listen to bands that glorify these things (Death, Megadeth, Sodom, they sound like promotors of it, but they're actually anti-war/violence). Still doesn't take away from the points made about the underlying problems existing and kept in place by whoever is in power. And while i'm not particularly a fan of capitalism, quite the opposite, but considering how far some people are taking the concept of socialism, i am also not a fan of that. And considering i've already been part of the working class for 20 years as a Millennial, i do think that the new generation needs to pull themselves up by the proverbial bootstraps, because they're screwing the next generation. I don't like working for a minimum wage job, but it's either that or live on welfare, or be homeless/live with mom. I don't agree with the majority of policies concerning the working class, especially not when we're continually cleaning up the mess made by upper class and people in power (credit crisis, housing market etc.), even though i never owned a house myself and probably never will if this goes on. Just like the "quet quitting", just do your job or actually quit, because you're only screwing over the next person. Either form a proper movement, or keep your head down and do your job. Or go to your boss and ask for better wage or whatever is bothering you, doubt that will change anything, but at least you did something, but quiet quitting is just giving up responsibility for the money that you earn at the job. I am not the most motivated colleague either, but i still do my job properly for the people around me, i'm a street cleaner, if i didn't do my job properly, the streets would be a mess and garbage would pile up, and you know how easily things can escalate, butterfly effect and all.

The ONLY evidence of consequence has been the enslaved and freed minorities are still suffering from economic enslavement. One need only note the hype surrounding ANY minority person, who manages to attain financial success. Why the hype? Is it to 'show' other disadvantaged people that 'they too, can rise up, and attain financial glory'?

Yes, there were those that were nice, but on the whole, the entitlement was atrocious. After working 70 - 80 hours a week for 6 months - I quit. I didn’t quiet quit, but working hard and then getting yelled at because of being understaffed because we couldn’t get people to work for $20 - $22 an hour… Sorry, the rudeness is not worth it. People aren’t “quiet quitting” they are tired of putting up with the BS while corporate big-wigs make millions.

[@nunureds837]

It's the younger gen that "quiet quits" cuz they weren't raised with the work ethic we were (exceptions acknowledged ✌️) I will admit we were taught- even conditioned- to put up with more than should be tolerated, but I have witnessed an extreme move far the other way. Let's try to get the pendulum in da middle 😉

[@michlo3393]

@@nunureds837 The reality is, most people work their butts off for very little return. It's draining on ones life and eventually they dedide it's not worth it. Older generations could at least work their way up to a better paying position and actually afford a house. These days, upward mobility is limited and wages have stalled while the cost of living has skyrocketed. People are killing themselves working for next to no gain. That's where the real problem lies. Young people work just as hard as anyone else, them being "lazy" is a myth. In fact, most younger folks today work MULTIPLE jobs and some will even Uber on the side. $50k a year used to be a great income for a family, nowadays it's poverty. Hell, $100k in most cities is poverty. The era of single income families owning homes and vacationing every year is gone.

[@nunureds837]

@@michlo3393 I agree! Still no excuse for quiet quitting.. One should speak up to management, fight for what one deserves, unionize, or just resign...but properly, with written resignation. And I know it's not that easy- Maybe you have to wait for jobs to open in your field or have bills that can't wait and can't risk unemployment. However, one should always take pride in ones work and remember that anything worth fighting for is not going to be easy.

@@rizzo021 It is a question that does not have a straight forward answer because of the topic but they basically gave you the answer. It's a game politicians play with their base during election season, (mid-term etc.) The terminology of sanctuary cities is not a very good one and has lead to this partisan attack on what America stands for. "Give us your poor tired huddled masses". If you don't know what statue that phrase is etched into, please look it up. My parents are not from here, therefore making me a 1st generation American. I was able to see America through 2 lenses growing up and it was weird but this country has a lot of growth.

The democrat regimes in these cities do support the president and his open border policies while the folks in Texas do not. Why should only folks in Texas bear the brunt of these unvetted huddled masses who illegally cross the border! Could you imagine all of those immigrants in our countries history skipping Ellis isle who include my great grandparents? Its a fair question. Now people like my grandparent from Portugal can't get into this country unless they break the law as our system is so backed up Huddled masses all over the world deserve the right to become a citizen, and imo should be considered more than people who's first act in our country is to break the law.

[@edwardshaw9743]

I get the point regarding northerners, though targeting cities is less about "liberal-run cities" and more about the urban/rural divide in this country. But the issue not yet spelled out and really needs to be, is that Abbott and these local officials shipping off migrants are engaging in human trafficking. Period. I don't care if it's to illustrate a point or to try to highlight hypocrisy, they are boxing up people and moving the around in a way that falls between a coyote smuggler and the Third Reich, which first tried to purge their country of jews and gypsies by shipping them east. I find it very counterproductive.

I really dig the idea of CoOp type business practice, wherein its employees’ LABOR is valued more internally by them all having a measure of stake interest of said Co...

That shouldn’t be too hard given that there is very limited intelligent discussion. I thought the writing on his show tonight was kind of weak.

It would actually be nice to watch something once in a while that is funny while not being overtly partisan.

[@skip777]

Respectfully I Couldn't disagree more......

[@KitC916]

Nope, totally garbage episode and I've been a fan a long time. Cringe with assuming Wynton was a pothead because he's black; a misguided discussion of masculinity from a frustrated guy with jaw problems; a guy who, in Libertarian (Republican Lite) fashion does "let immigrants in" for cheap claps, ignoring that, once they're here, he doesn't want those "Hispanics" (his term) to get educated, go to college for free, or get healthcare, just come in solely to labor, to be willing to do the jobs Americans think are important but don't want to pay a living wage for...aka he's ONLY "pro immigration" to keep wages LOW, which is a GROSS take. Plus, a Boomer miss-the-point-entirely diatribe about 'no one wants to work'...no, no one wants to be exploited for minimum wage or work 2 jobs or more to pay rent! Libertarians are Republicans who like to smoke pot. That's the tweet. This show is becoming 3 White Guys Talkin about How Hard They Got It and it's totally out of touch. Bill, hang up the show after the midterms. The Dems aren't as clueless and ineffective as you keep painting them out to be... because you don't want to pay taxes, so keep pushing that tired narrative...and the anti-Biden ageism jokes, which are TIRED. OK, Boomer. PS: Bill Maher has a college degree. Why he's so anti-college, ask yourself that.

Wynton completely missed the point of the first question.

[@JK192837]

@@prestoneric6705 That was pretty much all he said. On the specific topic about tiktok and chinese influence, all he said was "everyone's corrupt, we need to get ourselves together" which is nothing but whataboutism, then he said "the chinese are here to get an education" which doesn't follow on at all from what was said, then he said he got off a plane and "that's a big country" and "when you get out in the country of china, its very different from the country of america"...... ummmm okay?, that there are alot of people over there who are in "semi-slavery" and we're not talking about them....... which is again evading the topic because nobody was talking about what regular chinese citizens are doing, the topic was about the actions of the chinese government. He basically was saying that china is no worse than "we" are, and that we should ignore them and focus on our own problems. Which is just bullshit. The west is by no means perfect or innocent, but to say that china (the government, not the people) is no worse and poses no threat, is obviously ridiculous. It was a whole lot of nonsense, but because he took 2 minutes to say what could be said in 2 seconds, and did so in a quiet husky lyrical voice, people are convinced its incredible wisdom.

Wynton doesn't play smooth jazz. Kenny G, Dave Koz, David Sanborn, Gerald Albright, Boney James, and when they were alive, George Howard and Grover Washington, Jr. are all smooth jazz artists. Wynton is from New Orleans - birthplace of jazz. While he is highly influenced with Dixieland jazz, cool jazz, bebop, swing, big band - he has been living in New York (he's Juilliard trained) since the late 70s (basically my whole life, and I'm a music teacher from NY).

[@fathergabrielstokes4706]

Like Bill Maher, I wanted the first question to be answered

[@YTPrenewed]

As much as I share Scott Galloway's contempt for TikTok (and ESPECIALLY for the idea of parents letting impressionable teenagers use it) that's not why people embrace "socialism." They embrace "socialism" because market-worshippers kept moving the goalposts. Any attempt at adopting Scandinavia-esque policy in the USA gets labelled "socialist," yet when Sanders-types outright call for "socialism", suddenly they revert to "oh but Scandinavia isn't actually socialist." The exact definition of "socialism" is a little murky, but what Merriam Webster describes seems more like a continuous spectrum than an on and off switch. "Collective ownership" of the "means of production"? Scandinavia has more of that than the USA does without having 100% of it. Be more like Scandinavia. Because (supposedly) getting a definition wrong isn't as serious a mistake as having a literal several hundred thousand square mile hole in your worldview.

[@mathiassigneben2882]

Capitalism is great for economic growth, but the world doesn't need more growth. What we need is to slow down, take care of each other and conserve nature. Also, since the 80s, the socialist aspects of Scandinavia have been systematically dismantled. Trade unions have grown too passive, the welfare sytstems are under pressure from neoliberal politicians, and more and more of our collective property is sold to greedy capitalists.

[@maryfitzpatrick3252]

We exist in a somewhat socialist-republic-democracy. Yes, messy. Thanks to Lyndon Johnson, we do have some safety nets (socialism)…Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare is not free nor sufficient. Welcome, Scandinavia! 🥳

As much as I want to continue reading this drivel, I must clarify that Scandinavia IS NOT SOCIALIST.

not JUST Tik Tok. The "progress" toward socialism is a result not of some evolution, but of indoctrination, long antedating, but still inclusive of Tik Tok. There is no doubt about this anymore. It is "out there", so to speak.

Banning things has NEVER worked! We need to encourage parents to play a bigger role in their children's lives.

The Libertarian in glasses was silent on that one. Granted, TikTok may have data collection vulnerabilities in regards to hacking and stealing US government secrets. But the mode of video production exhibited in TikTok will just be mirrored by a private enterprise. The culture will change accordingly, no unless we try to ban social media outright. And we can't do that either.
