If "canceling" the founding fathers means not worshiping them as deified figures and acting like we need organize our society around what they would have wanted, then I totally support it.
@AithlynC

That's so spot on. Once upon a time, Maher pretended to be irreverent to anything and everything, now he's basically telling everyone to stay in line and worship the Founding Fathers rather than interrogate the things they wrote and thought.

"they want to cancel Jefferson!" What does that mean? He's dead. Can we maybe... Take what he did/said that has value and appreciate that, while also acknowledging that he supported and partook in horrendously immoral institutions? Are we allowed to recognize the hypocrisy of being a slave owner who advocated "equal rights" kind of ideologies? He was a shit person. Not everything he said or contributed was shit. It's not "cancellation" to vocally note and condemn his flaws. 🤷‍♂️

However, idpol leftists are not content to stop at pointing out hypocrisy. They want to tear down statues of Jefferson and Washington, even though they were ahead of the moral curve in many ways for their time. Forget Jesus.

@rustyshackelford7651
@rustyshackelford7651 Год назад
The best was Burr ragging on Maher for being 12 years older than him. In classic Burr fashion, he uses a very accurate example stating that when Burr was 12 years old doing 12 year old stuff in grade school, Bill Maher was 24 years old doing 24 year old stuff. It's a great comparison and really illustrates the differences between the two of them and that a 12 year age gap is significant.

​@@rustyshackelford7651 its a stupid take because the significance is only so pronounced when you are young, and as time goes on it becomes less and less significant. Unless bill burr was making this statement when he was 12 its irrelevant to bring up him being 12 while maher was 24. All this being said, Burr is amazing and maher needs to sew his mouth shut.

"Give to everyone who a asks. If a man asks you to go one mile, go with him two." "Treat others as you would want to be treated." - To me these quotes are anti-slavery quotes. Many "slaves" during older Israel were more indentured servants rather than antebellum slaves, and held deep regard for their "masters". It was a different time and nobody was ever taken as a slave due solely on their race or color of skin. The book of Philemon also had a plee to release a slave who had turned Christian.

He doesn't understand that times have changed. There are lot more queer people in pop culture, and are in quality TV shows and films, they are not just there presented as a stereotype, there is more viability, so people feel more comfortable coming out of the closet. Second, let's say in 10 years rate of queer people increases that much that half of population is queer. So what? You know. I find it interesting why he made that joke. Who is his audience there? During height of Covid, he totally dissed it. He was telling young people to go out and be brave, and totally dissed the thought that if the young people get it they will infect their older family members. His Shapiro interview. Fundamentalist was sitting right in front of him. Maher has a big problem with that. Made his career on that. Which is ok. But there you have a guy in Shapiro, all of his opinions are coming from his fundamentalism. BIll was like: Meh, let's talk about climate change. Also. You can criticize ''the left'' in DC.

Yes, everyone did slavery. Yes, some European nations were the first to abolish it. Just ignore the centuries they profited from it. Britain went hard against the slave trade, then introduced indentured labour to India and sold drugs to the Chinese. The U.S. had a civil war, then failed with reconstruction and introduced Jim Crow. And every major EU power got in on colonialism and imperialism, which gave them the wealth they still enjoy today. But ignore that, the West abolished slavery...

There is no other parrallel in history to what was done in the colonial age, none whatsoever. And that's what people nowadays especially rightwingers, don't like to know.

The closest parallel was the Ottomans, and that was truly horrible too and had some similarities but it was not as impactful in the long term like the slave trade practiced by the western European colonists, which reshaped such a huge area and transplanted and dispersed so many people

Hey Bill, why don't we look at the past as it actually was, acknowledge that most of it sucked, and try to do better with what we've learned from the past, rather than ignoring it because things are slightly better now? Germany still teaches about the horrors that they committed during WW2, and for good reason. They have the good sense to know that if it happened once, it can happen again. They look back at the past to make themselves more aware of what kinds of things to avoid. We in the USA gloss over a lot of our history, and for the most part it's all written from a perspective of the USA (or just whites) are the heroes of the story, as opposed to being honest about it. This is why CRT is necessary. Frankly, we need to expand on CRT to include more lesson plans on the horrors that were inflicted on Native Americans.

Jefferson actually wrote about this, and knew that the world wouldnt remember him fondly around this issue.

He was a man of his time, and should be judged as awful by our standards specifically for the way he took advantage of his female slaves without getting too specific...He was just a human being, and was capable of all the incredible and disgusting things that go along with it. This deifying of the founding fathers is just weird, their entire thing was "dont worship men, be guided by principles, and let those principles define the world you live in." With all his faults he was quite progressive for his time, and I imagine he would be giving Bill the finger, and giving those who continue to fight for social justice a thumbs up, even though we would be likely to give him the finger in response.

Then I discovered how he platformed race IQ guy, and was like: bitch, bye! I am 37, but I guess I was much longer in my teenage phase, lol

@@lordina1 Well, you can start by reading some Oscar Wilde, who correctly said sarcasm is the lowest form of wit (though he was absolutely wrong about it being a form of intelligence). Then you can learn to judge people by their own words and actions, not what some RU-vid midwit like Emma says about them.

@@karlerikpaulsson88 Lowest form of wit is what you get when you are being rude. But tell me what I don't get, please. I am midwit like Emma, and English is my second language, so you literally have to spell it out for me. And seeing you are so eager to share your wisdom. If you saying I should judge people by their own words and actions, you are thinking of Harris or Maher, I consumed a lot of both of their work. Sorry TMR puts those two in perspective perfectly, and points out their glaring flaws and add nuances and context to the conversation. I recommend you watch some Michael Brooks videos on Harris. Emma started this process for me in regards to Harris, Michael sealed the deal. Seder has great takes on Maher. I read Oscar Wilde, kind of overrated if you ask me, but still pretty cool. Sarcasm is cool also. If you are Harris/Maher fan, it's ok. Tons of lefties have been there. Free yourself, dude, come to the dark side 🤗 ❤

@@lordina1 I watched TMR all the time back in the day until they started repeating the tired bullshit the lying clown-frauds Reza Aslan and Glen Greenwald would say about Sam Harris. Sam repeatedly said it wasn't muslims he was going after, but the doctrine of Islam, and his criticisms of the beliefs were accurate and fair. the "race IQ" guy, Charles Murray, is a mediocre researcher, and he has wrapped himself in victimhood ever since The Bell Curve came out, but its far from white supremacist manifesto some people claim it is. I won't defend Bill Maher except to say every once in a while he still has a decent take on some things. He's gone of the bitter-old-man cliff lately and its annoying af, and he's always been a smug prick but he can be really funny at times too. I liked Michael Brooks a lot, but much like old school Bill Maher, I never agreed with him about everything. but Emma came AFTER Michael, so I don't know how you heard Emma first. She's simply not as clever as she clearly thinks she is, and often reminds me of Bill Maher.

There's no small amount of anachronism that goes into the calls for removing statues of most/all historical American figure (beyond Confederates and the like), but Bill Maher does seem to have abandoned his previous takes on religion if he's bringing up cancelling Jesus as a problematic issue for him.

Christopher Hitchens was another one who was on a (relatively slow) march towards a sort of reactionary position. I recall he wrote a book about Thomas Jefferson which I never got to read but from the hype around it, it sounded like a hyperbolic sanctification and I heard Hitchens talking about how the US was "the greatest country in history", and of course there was his sycophancy to Bush which was pretty astonishing.

I don't think Hitchens, especially towards the end, had the intellectual rigour to write a proper history book. His "God is not Great" is garbage.
