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

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.

"minority", maybe, where do you live.

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

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.

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.

Yeah and his audience never clapped so loud!!

Mahers audience is one of the WORST I especially enjoyed it when Hitchens dogged them

I found that odd, too. The clapping and woo-ing coming from the people who orchestrate this nonsense...

@@gg.6633 The audience, are a bunch of hypocrites who clap loudly to deflect from and conceal the fact, that they're the bullies he's talking about.

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.

Check out Andrew Schultz. He don't give a damn anymore, just about says & does whatever he wants. Been great

I thumbed up your comment for its reminder that “we are just normal people with normal voices” but I argue that we do NOT need more voices like that of Ricky Gervais, just more normal people responding to nonsense in normal voices.

EXACTLY

It's the best part. Like I don't agree with him often but when I do agree with him he is right on the money.

Bill Maher is liberal but with brains.

No Bill sympathizes with right wingers to a fault.

@@RichSmithson Repulsive people

It’s a studio audience right now

yep

They realise hes not joking but out of frustration just speaking facts

When people tell the truth & make sense it’s easy to see the truth. I’m not a democrat but I like hearing what a fair man has to say about our culture. Im a fan now!

You're not a fan but you're watching his videos and complimenting his logic? You are a new type of fake.

If you watched him regularly, you would know that he always speaks his mind. He's a Libertarian, not a far left leftie. He had a show called "Politically Incorrect". Ironically, that show was cancelled because he spoke the truth.

@@Treyn444 Bill isn't a Democrat either!

He makes sense a lot of times....but notice how he couldn't help himself and mentioned trump? That's part of the problem

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

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!

That was Maher's employees laughing. They are a paid laugh track.

there is no audience MAGAot, that's his staff ! LMAO

Too late

i agree, but it's pretty clearly been an issue for a good 5 or so years. It's only now that people are starting to notice. Before, people just took cancel culture as pearl-clutching moments to moral grandstand to their peers. "Guilty until proven innocent" has been a pretty prevalent mind-set lately.

@@marshallbeck9101 Yup, it's already the reality.

Blame Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Corporations, & Hollywood that's too afraid to tell these anime avatards to go fuck themselves.

Have fun trying to convince a leftist that there is such a thing as a slippery slope. With the exception of protecting the environment, they generally are really horrible at anticipating the potentiality of negative future consequences. They are emotionally driven and hence, make knee-jerk decisions which are gratifying in the short-term, but ultimately create dysfunction and the exact opposite of what they intended.

@Sith Lord Felix I know, I was waiting on him to stop and tell his audience: "Oh fuck all of you!", as he's been known to do! (Then quickly afterwards, nervous chuckles ensue from the crowd.)

@@geoffelder2236 because it's his own people he's talking to

Not really. A lot of people are just weary of Bill's obsession with "political correctness", "Cancel Culture", and obesity. Maybe that's the way things are in LA but he, and some of his guests, don't have a clue about how ordinary people live. I've been watching Bill forever and he seems more entitled and out of touch every show.

He's a comedian. A quiet room means your joke or thread failed. Ask any comedian. sometimes I really like Bill Maher - and sometimes he misses the mark. There's no deeper meaning to it, really.

Does his crowd still consist of his writer and staff? They don't seem to get the stuff they wrote. Bill is going soft and does not tackle big issue. He is becoming very whiny and hope to hell he will get his gd shed finished soon. Who makes him live in California? He should be worried about victim culture. I've been watching him for decades and will probably continue to but his obsession with political correctness, cancel culture and fat people is getting tiring. Where are the real issues?

It always used to be this way. Now however, with social media, it sounds strange for some reason.

As a conservative I don’t like his politics. BUT I do like his knack for calling a spade a shovel.

You are exactly the person he is trying to educate. Listen to muddy water part.

Same pretty much.

Bill's become a neoliberal but I still watch for little nuggets like this.

Liberals don't have a sense of humor... out of fear. Kind of like Nazi Germany?

He said 62% of Americans have opinions they're afraid to share. Bullshit. It's closer to 80, maybe 90% or more. And when you see what happens to dissenters, it makes thought suppression all the more likely. The waters getting awfully hot around the 🐸..

And how many times have they tried to cancel Rush but he had some form of deflection device called subscriber based media.

@@bearworldwide101 I think you're thinking of Howard Stern.

@@vaticancartel136 well Limbaugh's ditto cam was subscriber based before Howard Stern but I know what you're talking about many shock jocks did the same thing. If I'm not mistaken Opie and Anthony were the others once they broke up they became subscriber only Opie has Opie Radio and Anthony has Compound media. But subscriber base has shown its sorta a shield from cancel culture because the people who listen to you are usually yes men or just people who expect these people to say whatever they want whoever they invite and pays 19.99 a month to get what they want minus ads and other obstacles that would mean less money less corporate sponsors and an apology coming soon to stop the hemorrhaging.

The Southern Poverty Law Center consider themselves the highest police on thought crimes.

I think companies have found a loophole through "fired for cause" requirements in states. If you can't find a real reason to fire someone for cause and deny them severance, find a blurry photo of them and claim they're doing something racist in it. I don't think average people are actually protesting these targets on moral grounds. Someone wants to fire someone, so they craft a reality-TV-style story around them, and people get into it like they're judging TV show characters rather than real life people.

Wasn't timberlake making jokes about sleeping with Britney in a snl skit a couple of years ago? A few steps removed from the primordial ooze hmm. Gina wasn't cancelled because she said the wrong thing she faced the consequences for her speech. Perhaps if you are in a public position you shouldn't be comparing the holocaust with mundane things. That said. Yeah overly sensitive people, both on the left and right are a problem.

Biden just bombed brown people

@@Youboremenow I didn't feel sorry for Britney until shortly before the documentary. I'm a couple of years older than her and I was a grunge kid so I hated her music and made fun of her divorce and shaving her head. Once I found out about her dad, I was like, shit, I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. So, yeah, I think there's always time to become a better person. Totally agree about the oversensitive people.

@@Youboremenow Sometimes I find it shocking that people whose careers are based upon popularity (actors, athletes, etc) don’t realize that saying controversial things in public can have consequences.

I’ve literally never respected anything he has had to say more.

At least we know he is a wise person on the left. I agree, I barely agree with him, but if he is willing to stand up for the individual rather than the mob. I’ll stand by him whenever or wherever.

no respect from me. he targets conservatives only 30 seconds in. their come-uppance is justified in bill's eyes while he begs rhetorically for pre-forgiveness for some transgression he is going to get cancelled for.

The problem is that he has a hate-boner for Republicans that quite frankly I don't think it's justifiable nowadays. The progressive democrats are a lot worse in almost every aspect than a traditional republican (veterans and christians, let's say). Like the woman from the mandalorian, he didn't need to shit on her or on the show. First, because the show is good, and I think that SW is a big pile of garbage. Second, because she was 100% right on her commentary. When your neighbors become the agents of the police state that's when you have a totalitarian state

Didn't he donate a million dollars to Obama? That's hardly a classical liberal.

@@annsumner8570 Even god can't

This comment, and these threads are a classic example of how blind so many liberals continue to be. Bill has done so much damage to the American people, by brainwashing them with his liberal views, hating, finger pointing, and basically relying on ridicule to dismantle anyone's logical arguments that he can't win, because he's pigeonholed himself to adhere to his audience. Yet, when he subtly changes his tune over time, his audience is able to just go right along without batting an eye. One day, he will break the news to them that he and they have actually become conservatives, and they will laugh hysterically, because their is so much irony in the truth. Dude's a pro

Oh they know they are projecting. The shock comes to them when OTHER people realize what they are, despite them deflecting onto someone else.

Or calls someone a racist while you are being the racist and sexist when you are being a sexists.

The leftist mobs on the streets today are the modern Brownshirts.

So sick of white supremacists, sexists and other bigots pulling out the "just because we disagree with you" card. There are certain things about which disagreement is objectively evil. I promise you that if a brown person "disagreed" with a white person's argument that a white child shouldn't be deported back to a European country just because his or her parents are here against the law, the right would explode with outrage and order that person fired immediately. 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. They’re nothing but a bunch of status anxious hypocrites, and the troglodytes they elect are thriving on their abject stupidity and objective immorality.

So, as long as everybody's politically correct, we can bomb Syria and go along with neo-cons?We can have companies like Coca Cola whose brown sugar water has probably killed more Blacks than the Klan ever did require critical race theory to their White employees? Is a corporate run Military Industrial Complex justified just as long as it's Woke? I really think Animal Farm should be read and/or re-read by some folks on the Left.

Because cancel culture is just as much a cult as Trumpism is. It makes you afraid of your own opinion. Going against the status quo of the crusade is social suicide.

Every few days, I watch this RU-vid video which zooms out from Earth, past our surrounding planets, outside of our galaxy, into the almost infinite vastness of the cosmos. Perspective, of just how small and insignificant we are. On that tiny dot of a planet, I live in a country that decided to financially punish those who strive to be healthy and educated, and presumably cares more about the feelings of a select group of people. This isn't some law of the universe, WE made this shit the way it is. To paraphrase the great Ronald Weasley: "we need to sort out our priorities."

So you’re not concerned about cops shooting unarmed people in the back? You’re not concerned about a president that has lied over 30,000 times since he took office back in 2016? You’re not concerned about a party that is only interested in suppressing the vote, rather than making voting easier for more people to have the opportunity to exercise what most of us believe is a constitutionally protected right? 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! So the idea of cancel culture is a political diversionary tactic, used by people to change the subject & blame the victims! So how do you justify what happened on January 6th? Was that cancel culture too?

Who is they? I'm curious about your personal experiences, what exactly has been done to you and why do you allow it?

@@theodorehaskins3756 yea. I’m so concerned I contact my representatives on a regular basis concerning everything you mentioned and then some. Do you? I donate to pertinent groups on a regular basis. Do you. If I was younger, I’d be in the streets. Not getting on my case because you’re one of those with a phone stuck in his face. Maybe you need to reread my comment and let it sink in before blowing off steam. Nobody agrees on everything. Like I said earlier, go outside, get some fresh air and get a life.

@@arleneduke1378 everytime I step out on the front porch or get in my car, AT LEAST 50% of the pet driving or walking have a phone stuck in their face. And barely realize what’s going on around them. Sad.

Wait, THAT'S the whole "scandal"!? Jesus Christ on a jetpack, these people are nuts! I'm all for calling out messed up shit, but dancing around in ballgowns sounds delightful !

FRIED CHICKEN?! You should be ashamed you awful stereotyper!

Sounds like a good time!

I guess KFC is canceled?

I know! And all Chris Harrison said was that we should show the contestant some grace and compassion because we all make mistakes and back in 2018, attending a Gone with the Wind/Antebellum era theme party seemed appropriate even though it’s not anymore. That was enough to cancel him too. Ridiculous. Never forget that all throughout history, the silent majority has always been irrelevant. So, while most of us agree this is insane, it’s the minority radical and crazy left that are pushing this. They already control every institution in America, from academia, to government to mainstream media to big corporations like Disney and Big Tech. All we can do now, both liberals and conservatives, is sit back and watch as they keep destroying the social fibers, principles and values of western society.
