Maher: There Is Belief on ‘Far Left’ That Property Destruction Is ‘Justifiable’

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher stated that there is a belief “on the far left,” that property destruction “is sort of a justifiable way of protesting and it’s a form of reparations.” And warned that while the belief exists on the far left, beliefs have a tendency to migrate.

Maher said, “When lululemon is saying ‘resist capitalism’ and there’s a book called ‘In Defense of Looting’ and then we had a primary where there was a candidate, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren were talking a lot about a wealth tax and a lot of wealth confiscation, and there’s just a feeling out there now, again, it’s on the far left, but things tend to migrate, but — that property, it’s different than life. And it is different than life. And they kind of compare them like they’re comparable. It’s like, well, if you take somebody’s life, that’s permanent, but if you wreck their business, that can be replaced, and this is sort of a justifiable way of protesting and it’s a form of reparations. … I’m not down with this property’s on the table as something we can just take because things are not right. That’s — to me, that’s not the way to address our problems, by throwing a brick through the window.”

...yes, property destruction and human destruction.

In addition to the previously numerous Makers and Takers, we now have excessively numerous Breakers.

"And warned that while the belief exists on the far left, beliefs have a tendency to migrate."

As Kurt Schlichter once wrote: "the Left is going to hate the new rules".

So mahar for decades has helped produce this frankenstein monster called leftists and now he is complaining when it goes crazy and attacks everyone, not just mahar’s enemies.

Liberals are simply dumb, folks. I really can no longer give them any quarter. Regardless of why they have caused the chaos that is around us now, they purposely sowed the chaos and are thus responsible for it.

“is sort of a justifiable way of protesting and it’s a form of reparations.”

Uh, exactly how is a bunch of white liberals burning a black person's business to the ground a form of reparations?

Maher...

Trying to express an opinion while not pissing off the anarchists. Who only attack in mass, at night, when you least expect it.

If someones business is destroyed and through a hideous chain of events the business owner develops serios health issues and mental breakdown because their family can no longer be provided for, is now uninsurable, broke, and in complete dispare commits suicide or kills anarchists in a moment of blind fury...

Billy boy needs to grow a pair... and say what’s really on his mind. Either all in or all out. Fence sitting doesn’t work on the drug addled, crazed mind. Placating has just about reached its endpoint.

[InterceptPoint]

I’m thinking that Bill Maher, knowing that his success is due entirely to his white privilege and rests on the backs of blacks everywhere, is starting to worry about what he would do if his house is burned down.

Jerk.

The useful idiots we see on the streets have no property. They are like the hippie generation’s evil twin. Upper middle class kids wanting to tune out because dad was always working, not realizing where their money was coming from - someone’s hard work.

I prefer hippies. They are mostly harmless. What we are now seeing is the militant version. Too bad our leaders don’t believe in spanking them.

[MuttTheHoople]

I'm pretty sure that once the Proggies get the police defunded, they'll not like having to deal with modern-day Regulators.

[PeterPrinciple]

I remember a psychological experiment. Maybe someone can find it.

don’t remember how it was set of but 70% of participants would destroy the prize so you couldn’t have it rather than share it 50/50.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

Lots of debt with no marketable skills.

[MuttTheHoople]

I prefer hippies. They are mostly harmless.

No, they weren't. The hippies of the '60's were just as bad as the spoiled little rich kids today. The only difference is today's Antifas and Burn-Loot-Murders are fatasses because of lousy diets.

1960's hippies.

When Bill Maher is the voice of reason on the left... you KNOW how far the left has moved.

This may not be the actual batch, but the types of godless fools we witness making mayhem today are the EXACT types the Man of Lawlessness is looking for. “Now Hiring. Help Wanted.”

[SmokingJoe]

Every once in a while Maher makes plenty of sense.
He's called out the left over and over again.
He's one of the few leftists who is able to attack fellow leftists without fear of consequences.

[polymuser]

“The useful idiots we see on the streets have no property.”

Agree.

Most probably are basement-dwelling Millennials, were raised by single mommies, never attend worship services, do no constructive volunteering, are proud of their Participation Awards from pubic school and own nothing they’re worked for.

[Calvin Cooledge]

I agree. Maher will call out stupidity on the left.
