As a conservative I never thought I’d be applauding and laughing so hard at Mr. Maher’s monologue. But he gets it!!…this wokism has gone too far and I’m glad someone like him is speaking out!! Well done sir!!
Man alive, I hear you. Bill Maher, Russell Brand, Joe Rogan and a handful of others that many of us over looked. But they use their voices to try to bring some semblance of reason back. WOW
Keep in mind, Bill's audience has always been left/woke/democrats cheering like heck when he belittles republicans and conservatives. I bet many in the audience were sitting on their hands for this monologue.
How did he not clue in when the little Maoist sh!ts were yanking down statues and blacklisting conservatives all around his precious entertainment bubble? So sick of this guy catching on three years late.
You're being bamboozled and it's why conservatives *always lose*. The Libsharts realized that the frog noticed the rise in temperature so they're reducing it and the frog (you) are relaxing. The libsharts still mean to boil the frog (you). That hasn't changed. They still want you dead, your wife and children ra ped and they think it's funny.
Because obviously, Bill Maher's version of events are misleading. Obviously students aren't offended by valid discussions. Some quotes from the original story: "...allegations the office found to be substantiated include Kilborn in a January 2020 lecture dismissing a Black student’s view that his comments were overgeneralizing references to people of color, referring to racial minorities as “cockroaches,” and denouncing their participation in civil rights claims. Additionally, the letter claims Kilborn characterized media stories focused on the negative behaviors of white men as “lynching.” All of the remarks were made in the space of one hour, according to the letter, and Kilborn reportedly acknowledged much of the conduct." "....he refused to participate in cultural competency training and coachings...." "...other classes that included racial slurs as part of the academic process have been meaningful. As an example....a property class taught by UIC Law professor Cecil Hunt. They read cases with a lot of offensive language, nothing was redacted and much of it was discussed in class..."
Never mind the lawyers, who are responsible for taking this sh*t out of the ivory towers into where it does real damage to real people. I pity the poor plumbers who will soon be pilloried for using male and female connectors!
There is no interest in actually solving problems at these kind of universities; people just care that they get to be labeled “good”, but how that affects others does not matter.
Imagine a snowflake law and order svu episode. Vitim: Hello? Police? I would like to report a rape. Cop: aaaah, how dare you attack me using that word? I feel violated. Get out of my way, i need to get to my safe place.
That is no accident. Read up on the Long March Through the Institutions. Read up on Antonio Gramsci. Read up on Rudi Dutschke. This was all planned and written about by Communist philosophers. They could not have dreamed it would work out as perfectly as they had planned. So subtle that nobody realises it's happening until it's too late.
No, is not stunning, at least not for me, if you know what is all about, that professor have only 8 weeks of sensitivity training, I had to endure 46 years of communism, among then 6 years in a real life communist university.
From the words of Lex Luthor from Justice League 2004. This is your(Germany) fault! ALL OF IT! • Germanic tribes destroying the Roman Empire in a finishing blow. • Germanic Tribes Angles and Saxons invited by King Vortigern to fight against Picts and Scots of the North betrayed the Britons and took their land. • Anglo Saxons soon evolved into the English people who knew years after the Norman Conquest by William the Conqueror. • Here goes the wanker who wanked his way out to think that everyone can have equal and open mindset(Karl Marx and Marxism). And his ideology soon infect different parts of the world. • A far rightist man who lied about Germans being Aryans(This belonged to the Iranians and Indians). And bastardized the Hindu life symbol into his Nazi symbol with this pseudo Roman Salute. 🖖 Which he copied from that Italian or French painter(Correct me if I am wrong). • A left wing party fled from Germany after being defeated by the Nazis and went to Russia for refuge, then to America to spread this gay arse Communism. Soon it resurfaced and became this woke shit that started in 2015 - onwards. Oh yeah. It's all coming together.
Keep it up Bill, the pushback is finally starting, and I honestly think that a sound minded voice such as yours being ever present on mainstream media is one of the many many MANY reasons why. Don't ever stop.
The ideological origins of "woke" come from the same branch as liberal philosophy. When you spend near a century feeding into this garbage, you deserve to be destroyed by it.
America does need a ReEducation, and it's to not help blacks. We've wasted enough time, lives, money, and resources on them and THEY ARE OUT OF EXCUSES. They only cause destruction and damage. They do not mix with modern society whether it's a system run by whites, reds, yellows, purples, or orange. And not black, because they dont have the intelligence or brain capacity to create a modern society, let alone even understand how it's run. Evolution has past them by and it's time for them to go back and end up like the Dodo.
The mainstream media is still dominated by wokism and so is the corporate culture. You get penalized for speaking out against it even in the most polite, mild manner.

A big part of cultural revolution was the people are tired of being poor and they thought the old traditions are holding them back and making the country weak. This is something the west will never bring up. People who are privileged in their entire life can't possibly understand.
This started in the 90s in California. A girl in my animation history class got super offended and upset at the teacher for showing a bunch of racist and xenophobic cartoons that came out in WWII. She sat there practically crying in class after the cartoons were shown. It shocked me that she would prefer to hide her head in the sand than to be educated about these things. But this was a sign of things to come
Well it does suck to have to watch racist, xenophobic cartoons for a grade. I'd be curious whether she wanted to hide her head in the sand, or whether she thought she could have gotten the message with a little less immersion. If she was crying because the content upset her, I kind of feel sorry for her; but if she was crying because she thought the professor shouldn't be able to show it, that's a lot less sympathetic.
if you want a good series that kinda makes sorta fun of all sides. "Cobra Kai" TV series. You can be Johnny or Daniel without turning into a Kreese which is kinda what far right wing ideology turns into. But at same time mocks the overly sensitive people, or as Johnny puts it "Nerd shit" which is gold!
@@DocDarkness I wish that were true, but I beg to differ. If the gatekeepers of communication (the media, social and others) cancel you, you are cancelled. Examples abound.
He shows a Soviet food line, something that also happens in America. Communists at least offered food to those who didn't have it. Here in America, they throw food away and don't give it to the homeless and employees who do get fired. Seriously the food line photos are pure propoganda. Dumbass Maher sits there telling his mostly wage slave idiot audience that "hey you should shut up and enrich your boss while you live paycheck to paycheck becsuse they're greedy and want to have a glamorous life througj your very very very highly underpaid labor, oh and I'm a multi milloinaire so of course I want pure abusive capitalism because it benefits me". His idiot audience is too fuking stupid to see it.
@@DocDarkness No not really. When THEY (those with the biggest microphone or societal resources) take away your livelihood, ruin everything you worked for and earned in life, turn friends against you, and ostracize you from society THEY are doing that; not you. It is beyond your control; so no, people are not allowing themselves to be cancelled.
Bravo Mr. Maher. It’s refreshing to hear someone with common sense speaking what we all see happening now in these United States of the Offended. We all would be better served if we would focus on fixing the issues that will likely take this country down than whining about hurt feelings.
I think as a "moderate" you may mean you got pushed into the "conservative spectrum", because the left has kind of, uh, transformed into this unrecognizable thing.
Me too. I'm a Democrat, but we seemed to have lost our center to the far left. Extremism on either side of the aisle doesn't benefit our country. Only common sense.
@@angelagoodwin5758 After doing some research, it is not necessarily that these people are moving further left, they are embracing Marxist communism whereas the party of old who embraced tolerance and believed in homogeny for the nation's good were Democratic Socialists (think FDR and the New Deal). They want us to think they are more progressive and to the left of the old Democratic party to trick you into believing that you're the one who needs to be more like them when they are not even on the same scale. They are as different to us as fascists are to the Democratic party.
Bill is teaching the lesson, but is anyone open-minded enough to really learn it? That's the problem. Who is listening to Bill? The people who should be listening to him now hate him, and believe that Bill Maher has become a conservative sympathizer or a bigot or racist or transphobe or any other term that is used to vilify people nowadays. This Woke Revolution has to be checked and controlled, otherwise it's going to rip our country apart. It's really sad. And meanwhile, you can be sure that Russia, China and the Middle Eastern powers are laughing at Americans for their absolute stupidity.
This is one of Bills best monologues in years, absolute banger. These kids really pretend that they wouldn’t be exactly the same people that they hate, had they been born in the same conditions and given the same information of the time.
New rule: Bill Maher needs to stop being five years behind the curve and then acting like he discovered what the rest of us already have been talking about.
Well...I'd take that a step further, and say that they ARE like the people they hate. They hate white people, and are racist EXACTLY like the people they hate
You're so close to understanding here. What you're describing is called "systemic racism" (or classism, or misogyny, etc). It's when an oppressive system is so ingrained that the participants don't realize that they are a part of it. All "woke" describes (at least in its original use) is that you have realized the often oppressive nature of the system.
If you asked me a few years ago, I would have never thought that Bill Maher, a man who was at the forefront of the elitist progressivism that evolved into this social contagion, would be one of the only voices of reason in the entertainment world fighting this very thing. But I'll gladly take it. He's gone through a redemption in my eyes. Not that he owed anybody that, but I'm glad I can feel that way. His ability to have mature discussions with those he might disagree with, and incredibly, _actually_ change his mind on topics after doing so, has restored my respect for him in a way that very few ever have. He's a powerful voice in this fight, considering his left-leaning political disposition. And he's a brilliant example that people on the left don't have to comply to this ideological cultism. So, hats off to you, Bill. I genuinely appreciate you for what you're doing, and I respect your bravery and integrity. You'll have my support for as long as you continue being an example of this for others.
@@justin1730 I'm fully aware of who Bill is. He was somebody I looked up to greatly in my teenage years of being a militant atheist. Then I became more politically aware and concluded he was an elitist snob who put ideology over facts, just like he ridiculed religious people for doing. He did that show in a time where people were relatively safe from serious blowback. His show might have gotten canceled, but his identity and standing were still intact. That's changed significantly today. All that said, he's had an awakening and has really put genuine effort in to seek the truth and speak it to power. He's at much greater risk today than he ever was, and he's doing it for the right reasons. So I respect him for that.

I grew up with left leaning standards and apparently now I am a racist.
@@blackofthekinHe’s a centrist now? Interesting how that works since he’s only ever been described as left leaning, never ever a “centrist.” He’s only a centrist now because the left has lost its mind, so he looks centrist from our new relative viewpoint. As for centrality being some virtue, depends on the issue. I doubt, at least I hope, you’d “meet in the middle” someone who felt murder was acceptable, for example.
I’m 52 and when I watched “Blazing Saddles” as a kid, it shone a light on the racism I grew up with in rural Georgia. Brilliant flic!! So I thought my Gen Z coworkers (political canvassing) would appreciate the message and humor of this milestone movie. Their shocked expressions at the content and MAJOR uncomfortableness at hearing the n-word was almost as funny as the movie itself. 😂 I’m very far left (for the USA) but these kids take themselves waaay too seriously.

I’d like to inform you that the lawyers are going to to be just fine. What Bill is doing is called “exaggeration” and he does it to make people laugh. Now, instead of my words, I’ll give you some of FOX’s: “Any reasonable viewer arrives with a skepticism … an understanding that [the host] is engaging in exaggeration and non-literal commentary”.

You missed the best but about Jason Kilbien's sensitivity training. The training material also used the redacted same two slur words that he was condemned for using. Kilborn is now countersuing
I really want to see the million people who were killed by "liberals" last year, like in the Cultural Revolution. Where are the reeducation farms, where people are forced to plough by hand? COME ON, a weekly course of sensitivity training is not what Mao did to people he disliked. Even Maher's reeducation show cannot change the facts about this BS.
Honestly I don't think ANY of them believe it, or even have the capacity to understand it, look how hard they struggle to even EXPLAIN it. They are literal puppets being pulled at the strings by their globalist communist puppet masters. 'The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.' -- George Orwell
Killborn will loose because that was not the only time he was a racist bigot. In a lecture, he once called racial minority "cockroaches" and he didn't deny it. This guy is lucky to still have a job teaching law.
Going after an expert in law demonstrates how stupid the wokies are. A liberal arts or science/engineering professor would be much less likely result to file a lawsuit for the actions of the college red guards.
There are no sides, only imaginary ones like country borders.

If you want to talk about “sides” then side with the human race and how we can improve it, without thinking blue or red. Respectfully.
It's crazy, when my grandma was still in China, she had to wear those signs at one point because she was an elementary school teacher (an "intellectual"). She was shamed and fainted from exhaustion at the public square and had to be helped back home afterwards. This was in Taishan, Guangdong. Grandpa was jailed for like a year at least for being a teacher too.
And now we have the Ivy League educated members of the GOP attacking the woke, liberal, elite, groomer college professors who educated them and their parents and are currently educating their children. Go figure.
So, Ray, you also say that a weekly 90-minute course of sensitivity training is just like the Cultural Revolution? Maher is _right_ that some things are wrong in his nation, but he is _wrong_ when he compares it with China of the 1960s. It's nothing alike, and Maher's reeducation show won't change the facts.
He was never a voice of reason. All he does is strawman right wing talking points. He still believes the false notions of "white privilege" and genuinely believes republicans are both evil white supremacists AND diehard Israel supporters, both concepts conflict with eachother and cannot coexist in a single political entity. Bill Maher always has been, and always will be, a product of intergenerational narcissism.

That's the difference between the liberals and the conservatives. The conservatives will rally behind each other no matter what, because they share an infantile love of god and country.

R/Confidentlyincorrect! Go watch "Some More News" - that guy aint even a Socialist but just critical to Capitalism, so he's a good start before you then watch "Socialism for Absolute Beginners" by 'Second Thought'. And THEN you Profit from how that latter channel names his videotitles often in Question-Form so its easier-to-access and you can debunk myths you believe in yourself and answer questions you always had.
Years ago, I read a book called "Life and Death in Shanghai" which was a first person account of the Cultural Revolution. The term, "Struggle Meeting" has never left me since. Truly history will repeat itself because human nature is so unbending! Thanks, Bill Maher!
Already repeating itself in Florida. The Rs there have decided on a non woke culture is answer to all societal problems. Yeah right, so let’s ban books and certain curriculum from schools and universities so all fixed.
I LOVE that Bill recognized "Revolution" was the opposite of a go-go call to arms. Very few of my generation did. I actually learned to like Lennon because of the sarcasm and self-awareness in that song.
And now we have the Ivy League educated members of the GOP attacking the woke, liberal, elite, groomer college professors who educated them and their parents and are currently educating their children. Hypocrites in the Republican Party? Go figure.
As a conservative, I am beyond pleased to see Mr Maher speaking to his audience about how absurd and ridiculous the WOKE extremists are. I hope that by sharing his insights, it will give more people the courage to do the same.
It's been going on for much longer in the form of a young earth instead of a flat one. It's the same sort of cognitive dissidence and not looking at evidence (like the impact craters on earth). Creationism is also a form of wokeness where they ignore evidence for a myth. What is practicing genetics based on...the textbooks or creation science books? And what do they teach genetic students so they can practice genetics? Not saying you are a creationist, just saying that creationism is woke cos it goes against known reality just like flat earth does.
@@stevendeas I define "woke" as: equity over equality through a racial and/or gender lens. To me, being a conservative means a lot but I will try to be brief. I support policies that prioritize more power in the hands of "we the people" as opposed to more power concentrated in the hands of the federal government. I believe in states rights, freedom, the rule of law and the constitution. I believe in the individual and value that individual, personal autonomy that is a God given right that puts the focus on the individual as opposed to the "collective". I believe in free will; equal opportunity as opposed to guaranteed equal outcomes which is one of the ideological focal points of DEI policies. Conservatives value the family and our freedom; we do not want the government embedded into every aspect of our lives. Again, this is just very brief overview into what being "conservative" means to me. There is a lot more that I could say.
@@Shasta_Rayne You believe in personal autonomy, but you support the party which has made having a miscarriage a crime. You believe in the individual over the collective, but you support the party which has written minorities out of history textbooks. You believe in the rule of law but you support the party which tried to overthrow the democratically elected government of the United States. You believe in the Constitution but you support the party which has spent the past two decades tearing it into shreds. You believe power should rest with "we the people" but you support the party that has stripped the right to vote from millions. You could say more and it would just show what a hypocrite you are. This is why people look through the lens of race and gender, because they cannot trust pig ignorant cretins like you to respect their rights.
yup.... the wokes are pretty bad... but something says your lot storming and killing at the Capitol after the big lie of a stolen election says you ain't much better.
@@codzboy74 YES. I have first-hand observation of this through family and peers of family friends. They're being taught group think to the exclusion of any ideas that don't line up with their present world view. The frightening parti is that they don't detect it themselves. It's an incubator for intolerance and poor analysis of problems.
@@warsurplus it's literally none of those things. if anything students are taught to be more open minded and broaden their horizons. what are some of these horrible ideas that they are being taught? name them
@@codzboy74 You must have been living under a rock for the last 15 years. Disruption of talks given by invited guests and authors to campuses for one. Stifling speech of authors and guests that faculty or mob don't agree with. Condemnation of student clubs and activities that don't line up with ideology of the mob. Civil discourse is not encouraged. Opposing points of view are maligned and labeled as hate speech. Characterizing speech as violence. I could go on. Look up what happened at Evergreen State College in 2017. Civilization thrives when people are free to discuss ideas and present arguments without fear of reprisal. Today's colleges are not fostering an environment that is welcoming to opposing points of view.
I'm an Australian citizen, no particular sway towards conservative or democrat or Republican or any political parties for the matter. However this wonderful and I believe beautiful monologue is a great example of the freedoms that are espoused by your Bill of rights and the Declaration of independence and the Constitution. We here have no such finery when it comes to important documents. Fight the good fight Mr Maher, I salute you 😅
That is what is so unique about the American Constitution, it doesn't grant people rights, it tells the government what it can and cannot do. However, if you look at actions instead of rhetoric, there is a concerted effort by American politicians to remove the Constitution and institute communism and sadly, it's not just democrats doing this.
Meanwhile, there is a law professor at Harvard who's still on Campus after multiple accusations of sexual harassment. And they went after the one who wrote a hypothetical case? That's current USA in a nutshell.
@@frednicholson You can have him out of campus while the investigation and or trial takes place. It's what makes sense. Still, they did something even worse to someone who was just teaching. Tell me you don't see how messed up that is.
You didn’t have to because “Left is Not Woke” by Susan Nieman. Hope Bill has her on. Have you heard John McWhorter? He is a liberal and gives the best arguments against wokeism in his book “Woke Racism”.
why does it have to be an issue of being liberal or conservative? I consider myself centrist. I agree with the comment that extremism is not good. And the people on the edges of both liberals and conservatives have become way too loud and annoying.
DO NOT, we can stand against woke without turning conservative. They are not liberal, they are the opposite of liberal. Mostly they are just kids who doesn't understand the first thing about the world that surrounds them... And the intelectuals... Most definetely NOT LIBERALS.
Bravo Bill. Great to see you coming around. Amazes me how your audience will applaud and cheer regardless of which side you happen to be on at any given time. But in any event, it sure is refreshing to see you finally making sense.
@@davidevans916 True, but nowhere worse than the USA. Even France is making fun of us and distancing themselves. It is embarrassing to have these people in our country.
Which is actually one of the few dumb statements Carlin made. The intelligence curve isn’t a straight line, it’s a bell curve, which means there are a lot of people in the middle of the spectrum. So no half the population isn’t dumber than the average probably more like 30% and 30% is smarter too.
Very good reminder. You may also want to look at the French revolution. Maybe US schools teach about 1789 and "let them eat cake" is all you guys remember, but it actually went very dark in 1793-1794 during a phase known as "the Terror". That's when Robespierre (yeah, that one name you might remember from school as a good guy) tried to turn France into a dictatorship, jailed 500,000 people and executed tens of thousands without trial and for motives that may have had nothing to do with revolution. He got stopped and guillotined without trial himself. That same Robespierre, at the start of the Revolution, was fighting for Jewish and black people to be allowed to vote, and for the abolition of the death sentence. Sounds like some people you know ? When you start a big fire, it'll never burn just what you want it to burn, and it'll take immense effort to stop. Give the woke mob guillotines and set them lose. Do you imagine they'll just stop at actual racists ? History tells us that they'll rather kill people they are jealous of and then claim it was "for the Cause". And you better not contest that if you like breathing.
Sooooo, your suggestion is too keep thecracism, sexism, homophobia, whateverism? Woke has never meant what is currently being called "woke". Stay woke means something entirely different from this co-opted usage.
@@TheSocratease I think that was his point. What you think woke stands for is no longer the case. When you take a good idea (ending the whateverism of your choice) and run it to extremes, then you begin to lose people that started out on your side. Backlash is a real consequence of going too far.
The correlation isn't that he was fighting for minority rights and that's the problem. That was a good and just thing. The point is to fight for those groups while continuing to recognize peoples' right to their own individuality.
The audience does not seem to grasp the gravity of Bill's point and how severe the consequences are/will be. But kudos to him for bravely taking on the modern "red guard"!
Correct. The morons cheered because they thought he was serious when he said "Lincoln is canclelled now, so f**k him" They agreed about Lincoln, not realizing Maher was mocking that idea.
As a conservative I never thought I’d be applauding and laughing so hard at Mr. Maher’s monologue. But he gets it!!…this wokism has gone too far and I’m glad someone like him is speaking out!! Well done sir!!

@bastiat A broken clock is right twice a day, which begs a disturbing question: What is the rest of the left?
Nope. 30 years of being leftist douche isn’t wiped away by a couple years of saying the obvious, that the woke movement is insanity
How are law students going to be ACTUAL LAWYERS, IF they can not deal with hypotheticals that ACTUALLY MIGHT HAPPEN?
Because obviously, Bill Maher's version of events are misleading. Obviously students aren't offended by valid discussions. Some quotes from the original story:
"...allegations the office found to be substantiated include Kilborn in a January 2020 lecture dismissing a Black student’s view that his comments were overgeneralizing references to people of color, referring to racial minorities as “cockroaches,” and denouncing their participation in civil rights claims. Additionally, the letter claims Kilborn characterized media stories focused on the negative behaviors of white men as “lynching.” All of the remarks were made in the space of one hour, according to the letter, and Kilborn reportedly acknowledged much of the conduct."
"....he refused to participate in cultural competency training and coachings...."
"...other classes that included racial slurs as part of the academic process have been meaningful. As an example....a property class taught by UIC Law professor Cecil Hunt. They read cases with a lot of offensive language, nothing was redacted and much of it was discussed in class..."
Never mind the lawyers, who are responsible for taking this sh*t out of the ivory towers into where it does real damage to real people. I pity the poor plumbers who will soon be pilloried for using male and female connectors!
There is no interest in actually solving problems at these kind of universities; people just care that they get to be labeled “good”, but how that affects others does not matter.
They'll be like the lawyers in Idiocracy.
Imagine a snowflake law and order svu episode.

Thank you.. the parallels between Mao's cultural revolution and woke culture wars are stunning.
That is no accident. Read up on the Long March Through the Institutions. Read up on Antonio Gramsci. Read up on Rudi Dutschke. This was all planned and written about by Communist philosophers. They could not have dreamed it would work out as perfectly as they had planned. So subtle that nobody realises it's happening until it's too late.
No, is not stunning, at least not for me, if you know what is all about, that professor have only 8 weeks of sensitivity training, I had to endure 46 years of communism, among then 6 years in a real life communist university.
The parallels are by design.
There are no parallels whatsoever. This is fear-mongering, pure and simple.
From the words of Lex Luthor from Justice League 2004.
This is your(Germany) fault! ALL OF IT!
• Germanic tribes destroying the Roman Empire in a finishing blow.
• Germanic Tribes Angles and Saxons invited by King Vortigern to fight against Picts and Scots of the North betrayed the Britons and took their land.
• Anglo Saxons soon evolved into the English people who knew years after the Norman Conquest by William the Conqueror.
• Here goes the wanker who wanked his way out to think that everyone can have equal and open mindset(Karl Marx and Marxism). And his ideology soon infect different parts of the world.
• A far rightist man who lied about Germans being Aryans(This belonged to the Iranians and Indians). And bastardized the Hindu life symbol into his Nazi symbol with this pseudo Roman Salute. 🖖 Which he copied from that Italian or French painter(Correct me if I am wrong).
• A left wing party fled from Germany after being defeated by the Nazis and went to Russia for refuge, then to America to spread this gay arse Communism. Soon it resurfaced and became this woke shit that started in 2015 - onwards.
Oh yeah. It's all coming together.
Keep it up Bill, the pushback is finally starting, and I honestly think that a sound minded voice such as yours being ever present on mainstream media is one of the many many MANY reasons why. Don't ever stop.
The ideological origins of "woke" come from the same branch as liberal philosophy. When you spend near a century feeding into this garbage, you deserve to be destroyed by it.
America does need a ReEducation, and it's to not help blacks. We've wasted enough time, lives, money, and resources on them and THEY ARE OUT OF EXCUSES. They only cause destruction and damage. They do not mix with modern society whether it's a system run by whites, reds, yellows, purples, or orange. And not black, because they dont have the intelligence or brain capacity to create a modern society, let alone even understand how it's run. Evolution has past them by and it's time for them to go back and end up like the Dodo.

I’ve been saying this for years, thank you. Family lived through the Chinese cultural revolution
Trump was like Mao, a cult devoted to one insane hate filled man. Nobody worships sleepy Joe Biden lol. He's boring
A big part of cultural revolution was the people are tired of being poor and they thought the old traditions are holding them back and making the country weak. This is something the west will never bring up. People who are privileged in their entire life can't possibly understand.
Thanks for your input
The young woke are scary
Plenty of Chinese did. Mao gained the most people in history.
This started in the 90s in California. A girl in my animation history class got super offended and upset at the teacher for showing a bunch of racist and xenophobic cartoons that came out in WWII. She sat there practically crying in class after the cartoons were shown. It shocked me that she would prefer to hide her head in the sand than to be educated about these things. But this was a sign of things to come
It's a mental illness
Well it does suck to have to watch racist, xenophobic cartoons for a grade. I'd be curious whether she wanted to hide her head in the sand, or whether she thought she could have gotten the message with a little less immersion. If she was crying because the content upset her, I kind of feel sorry for her; but if she was crying because she thought the professor shouldn't be able to show it, that's a lot less sympathetic.
Yeah, the humanity should nuke CA and NY for the common good.

Here in America, they throw food away and don't give it to the homeless and employees who do get fired. Seriously the food line photos are pure propoganda. Dumbass Maher sits there telling his mostly wage slave idiot audience that "hey you should shut up and enrich your boss while you live paycheck to paycheck becsuse they're greedy and want to have a glamorous life througj your very very very highly underpaid labor, oh and I'm a multi milloinaire so of course I want pure abusive capitalism because it benefits me".

@@DocDarkness No not really. When THEY (those with the biggest microphone or societal resources) take away your livelihood, ruin everything you worked for and earned in life, turn friends against you, and ostracize you from society THEY are doing that; not you. It is beyond your control; so no, people are not allowing themselves to be cancelled.
Bravo Mr. Maher. It’s refreshing to hear someone with common sense speaking what we all see happening now in these United States of the Offended. We all would be better served if we would focus on fixing the issues that will likely take this country down than whining about hurt feelings.
As a moderate, I love the common sense Bill brings in this monologue. It is refreshing
I think as a "moderate" you may mean you got pushed into the "conservative spectrum", because the left has kind of, uh, transformed into this unrecognizable thing.
He's always done this
There's no room left for being a moderate. Standing that close to Marxism still makes you an extremist.
Me too. I'm a Democrat, but we seemed to have lost our center to the far left. Extremism on either side of the aisle doesn't benefit our country. Only common sense.
@@angelagoodwin5758 After doing some research, it is not necessarily that these people are moving further left, they are embracing Marxist communism whereas the party of old who embraced tolerance and believed in homogeny for the nation's good were Democratic Socialists (think FDR and the New Deal). They want us to think they are more progressive and to the left of the old Democratic party to trick you into believing that you're the one who needs to be more like them when they are not even on the same scale. They are as different to us as fascists are to the Democratic party.
Nice to see historical facts being used to teach a real lesson
Bill is teaching the lesson, but is anyone open-minded enough to really learn it? That's the problem. Who is listening to Bill? The people who should be listening to him now hate him, and believe that Bill Maher has become a conservative sympathizer or a bigot or racist or transphobe or any other term that is used to vilify people nowadays. This Woke Revolution has to be checked and controlled, otherwise it's going to rip our country apart. It's really sad. And meanwhile, you can be sure that Russia, China and the Middle Eastern powers are laughing at Americans for their absolute stupidity.
It's only taught, when it's learned.
Except he used history and misconstrued it to make an ideological point. That's called sophistry.

This is one of Bills best monologues in years, absolute banger. These kids really pretend that they wouldn’t be exactly the same people that they hate, had they been born in the same conditions and given the same information of the time.
New rule: Bill Maher needs to stop being five years behind the curve and then acting like he discovered what the rest of us already have been talking about.
Bill has been complaining about cancel culture and oversensitivity on the left for over a decade. Anyone who follows him knows this isn’t a new take.
Well...I'd take that a step further, and say that they ARE like the people they hate. They hate white people, and are racist EXACTLY like the people they hate
they already are the exact people they claim to hate,radical,close minded fascist bigots who are trying to get rid of democracy.
You're so close to understanding here. What you're describing is called "systemic racism" (or classism, or misogyny, etc). It's when an oppressive system is so ingrained that the participants don't realize that they are a part of it. All "woke" describes (at least in its original use) is that you have realized the often oppressive nature of the system.
If you asked me a few years ago, I would have never thought that Bill Maher, a man who was at the forefront of the elitist progressivism that evolved into this social contagion, would be one of the only voices of reason in the entertainment world fighting this very thing. But I'll gladly take it.
He's gone through a redemption in my eyes. Not that he owed anybody that, but I'm glad I can feel that way. His ability to have mature discussions with those he might disagree with, and incredibly, _actually_ change his mind on topics after doing so, has restored my respect for him in a way that very few ever have. He's a powerful voice in this fight, considering his left-leaning political disposition. And he's a brilliant example that people on the left don't have to comply to this ideological cultism.
So, hats off to you, Bill. I genuinely appreciate you for what you're doing, and I respect your bravery and integrity. You'll have my support for as long as you continue being an example of this for others.
His first show was called Politically Incorrect, and it was cancelled for being politically incorrect.
@@justin1730 I'm fully aware of who Bill is. He was somebody I looked up to greatly in my teenage years of being a militant atheist. Then I became more politically aware and concluded he was an elitist snob who put ideology over facts, just like he ridiculed religious people for doing.
He did that show in a time where people were relatively safe from serious blowback. His show might have gotten canceled, but his identity and standing were still intact. That's changed significantly today.
All that said, he's had an awakening and has really put genuine effort in to seek the truth and speak it to power. He's at much greater risk today than he ever was, and he's doing it for the right reasons. So I respect him for that.

This couldn't be more right on the money... but I'd swear it's all calculated deception.

He actually says that Biden is doing a good job, whether it's the Afghanistan pull out or dumping money and weapons on Ukraine, it's actually really creepy. He is a corporate comedian for the state television. People like Bill and the Obamas probably have $100M each invested in communist China and/or the war machine. Totally duplicitous little weasel.

Wow! That's a whole lot of Truth. Dropped in a very short period of time.
When we can’t express ideas and discuss them openly anymore, out of fear of constant toe stepping, we have lost the ability to negotiate. And the second option after negotiation is violence.

You missed the best but about Jason Kilbien's sensitivity training. The training material also used the redacted same two slur words that he was condemned for using. Kilborn is now countersuing
Good. Bankrupt them... one case at a time.
I really want to see the million people who were killed by "liberals" last year, like in the Cultural Revolution. Where are the reeducation farms, where people are forced to plough by hand? COME ON, a weekly course of sensitivity training is not what Mao did to people he disliked.
Even Maher's reeducation show cannot change the facts about this BS.
Honestly I don't think ANY of them believe it, or even have the capacity to understand it, look how hard they struggle to even EXPLAIN it. They are literal puppets being pulled at the strings by their globalist communist puppet masters.
'The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.' -- George Orwell
Killborn will loose because that was not the only time he was a racist bigot. In a lecture, he once called racial minority "cockroaches" and he didn't deny it. This guy is lucky to still have a job teaching law.
Going after an expert in law demonstrates how stupid the wokies are. A liberal arts or science/engineering professor would be much less likely result to file a lawsuit for the actions of the college red guards.

I was floored in 1994 when a young woman my age came up to me at a city council meeting and told me that a proposal I had spoken in favor of during the public's time to speak. that what I had said had "made her feel bad." How? I asked. "I was offended." I had never heard of such a thing. She didn't offer any rebuttal or counter-argument, just that she was upset. I didn't get what the big deal was, so I shrugged. She got even more mad and frustrated and said, "Don't you understand!? I was offended!" I guess she wanted some apology or something but I just shrugged again and said, "Oh, well". She stomped off. To this day I'm not sure what she was expecting. But her incredulous expression was the scariest part: A disbelief that I couldn't care less about the feelings of a stranger over my support of some parking ban.

You probably said something that was obviously offensive but you consider commonplace.

"...allegations the office found to be substantiated include Kilborn in a January 2020 lecture dismissing a Black student’s view that his comments were overgeneralizing references to people of color, referring to racial minorities as “cockroaches,” and denouncing their participation in civil rights claims. Additionally, the letter claims Kilborn characterized media stories focused on the negative behaviors of white men as “lynching.” All of the remarks were made in the space of one hour, according to the letter, and Kilborn reportedly acknowledged much of the conduct."
"....he refused to participate in cultural competency training and coachings...."

@@stevendeas I define "woke" as: equity over equality through a racial and/or gender lens.
To me, being a conservative means a lot but I will try to be brief. I support policies that prioritize more power in the hands of "we the people" as opposed to more power concentrated in the hands of the federal government. I believe in states rights, freedom, the rule of law and the constitution. I believe in the individual and value that individual, personal autonomy that is a God given right that puts the focus on the individual as opposed to the "collective". I believe in free will; equal opportunity as opposed to guaranteed equal outcomes which is one of the ideological focal points of DEI policies. Conservatives value the family and our freedom; we do not want the government embedded into every aspect of our lives. Again, this is just very brief overview into what being "conservative" means to me. There is a lot more that I could say.

@@frednicholson You can have him out of campus while the investigation and or trial takes place. It's what makes sense. Still, they did something even worse to someone who was just teaching. Tell me you don't see how messed up that is.
You are absolutely brilliant 🙏🏻
He's taking a huge risk doing this, Good for him
LOL
I went from being a Liberal to a Conservative over this issue. Glad to see Bill Maher addressing it.
Conservatives do the exact same thing. They cry and complain when anything changes and call it an attack.
You didn’t have to because “Left is Not Woke” by Susan Nieman. Hope Bill has her on. Have you heard John McWhorter? He is a liberal and gives the best arguments against wokeism in his book “Woke Racism”.
that is a start...:) All it takes is reason and common sense, and you will get there:)
why does it have to be an issue of being liberal or conservative? I consider myself centrist. I agree with the comment that extremism is not good. And the people on the edges of both liberals and conservatives have become way too loud and annoying.
DO NOT, we can stand against woke without turning conservative. They are not liberal, they are the opposite of liberal. Mostly they are just kids who doesn't understand the first thing about the world that surrounds them... And the intelectuals... Most definetely NOT LIBERALS.
A national treasure. Brilliant man who calls out BS and speaks the truth.
Bravo Bill. Great to see you coming around. Amazes me how your audience will applaud and cheer regardless of which side you happen to be on at any given time. But in any event, it sure is refreshing to see you finally making sense.
i love this country but i've never been more worried for its future
Not just your country, this is happening all over the west.
Worrying times.
@@davidevans916 True, but nowhere worse than the USA. Even France is making fun of us and distancing themselves. It is embarrassing to have these people in our country.
@@gotribe8333 you are the epicentre of this BS
By the time you’re worried, it’s already too late.
me too. I think we're pretty much done. Part of me doesn't wanna believe it but I dunno...
Chilling parallels with The Cultural Revolution. I love this guy sometimes.
Bill's a tired old man. The comparison is absurd.
@@sebastianstride7464 no, it is an excellent parallel although I am sure you will be first in line to give out hats to anyone who disagrees with you 🙄

Kind of like what Jordan Peterson is going through
If you want to see cancel culture, ask Bill what he thinks about the Students for Justice in Palestine
Thanks so much for that John Lenon quote. Been thinking about people not thinking about what he was saying a lot lately.
John Lennon was rich. Bill Maher likes the quote because he too is rich. Are you rich?
If John Lennon were still alive, he'd probably be "woke", which seems like a good word to me.
Revolution is a great song.

@@saymyname8925 only someone projecting would say something like that, you should seek help
@@MadMaximum-l3j He's right.
"you should seek help" you should take your own advice.

Which is actually one of the few dumb statements Carlin made.
The intelligence curve isn’t a straight line, it’s a bell curve, which means there are a lot of people in the middle of the spectrum.
So no half the population isn’t dumber than the average probably more like 30% and 30% is smarter too.
Very good reminder. You may also want to look at the French revolution. Maybe US schools teach about 1789 and "let them eat cake" is all you guys remember, but it actually went very dark in 1793-1794 during a phase known as "the Terror". That's when Robespierre (yeah, that one name you might remember from school as a good guy) tried to turn France into a dictatorship, jailed 500,000 people and executed tens of thousands without trial and for motives that may have had nothing to do with revolution. He got stopped and guillotined without trial himself.
That same Robespierre, at the start of the Revolution, was fighting for Jewish and black people to be allowed to vote, and for the abolition of the death sentence. Sounds like some people you know ?
When you start a big fire, it'll never burn just what you want it to burn, and it'll take immense effort to stop.
Give the woke mob guillotines and set them lose. Do you imagine they'll just stop at actual racists ? History tells us that they'll rather kill people they are jealous of and then claim it was "for the Cause". And you better not contest that if you like breathing.
Sooooo, your suggestion is too keep thecracism, sexism, homophobia, whateverism? Woke has never meant what is currently being called "woke". Stay woke means something entirely different from this co-opted usage.
@@TheSocratease I think that was his point. What you think woke stands for is no longer the case. When you take a good idea (ending the whateverism of your choice) and run it to extremes, then you begin to lose people that started out on your side. Backlash is a real consequence of going too far.
The correlation isn't that he was fighting for minority rights and that's the problem. That was a good and just thing. The point is to fight for those groups while continuing to recognize peoples' right to their own individuality.
I can assure you that no one but the most committed tankies consider Robespierre anything more than a murderous narcissist who got drunk on power.
History? Who was the first woke member? History? Jeez come on. Woke is a made up term and yet you think its been around for how many generations?
This is the most powerful summary of the direction the woke ideology is inevitably taking America that I have heard. Thanks, Bill!
The audience does not seem to grasp the gravity of Bill's point and how severe the consequences are/will be. But kudos to him for bravely taking on the modern "red guard"!
Audience needs to go lol
Bill's audience are uneducated dopes and have always been. They would have clapped for the "clap" sign if head made the OPPOSITE point.
I mean, it _is_ Bill's audience.
Because woke shit is all he talks about anymore. We've moved on to other more important topics
Correct. The morons cheered because they thought he was serious when he said "Lincoln is canclelled now, so f**k him"
They agreed about Lincoln, not realizing Maher was mocking that idea.
"But when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out." - John Lennon, Revolution.
Thank you for your brilliant analysis of...reality.
