What’s going on with Maher these days? He’s starting to make sense.
Maher has made a career out of mocking people who said such things.
Depends on how and what you are counting, I suppose. I think the Cultural Revolution killed something like 50 million. But mostly through famine, maybe. Maybe he just means a million dead by security forces alone.
Woke cancel culture is just another reason I will not be giving up my 2A rights. These people would put us in camps if they had their way. I'm not willingly getting on that bus.
Says the guy who stocks his audience with obedient seals who clap and hoot on command.
> we do have our own Red Guard here, but they do their rampaging on Twitter <
They’re also in every company’s HR department. Say something out of line, and you’re HR bound. And it won’t be pleasant.
Somebody ought to write a country song about this. Hank Williams Jr., are you listening?
Good for him.
I hope Maher turns full 180.
Bill doesn’t like the child he birthed.
Maher helped make this all possible by being a useful idiot.
Yes, exactly. Mao great leap forward. Good heads up.
Mao sought to enforce communist dogma and to rid the nation of the so-called “Four Olds;” old customs, old culture, old habits, and old ideas.
Sound familiar?
Red August of Madness
This is a good example of the ‘useful idiot’ to which Lenin makes reference.
The professors and intelligentsia types are for the revolution and then....
are the exact ones who become disillusioned with the revolution once they see what it means (killing).
They become anti-revolutionary risks.
So they have to be murdered en masse.
This was done in Cambodia (Killing Fields) to anyone remotely part of the old system.
The Mao “Struggle Sessions” are essentially now taking place on university campi with anyone displaying ‘microaggressive behavior’ (not racist but perceived to be racist by the POC victim) is force to openly apologize but the apology is never accepted so they must resign. Careers destroyed.
What happens on the campus today will happen at the workplace soon thereafter and now companies are hiring $100k a-year DIL (Diversity and Inclusion) kommisars to enforce the latest ‘rules.’
The ‘rules’ of behavior are always shifting to create unease and to empower the enforcers. Obama said he was opposed to ‘gay marriage’ when running for office but to say such a thing today may mean loss of job and career.
Essentially free speech is ending in America.
Those who rooted it on - the 60s communist radicals - will be the first destroyed by the children of the revolution.
Yep. It was done quickly in China though. No incrementalism.
I have thought for some time that the 20-30 somethings in the USA are the new Red Guard.
I think Maher has dual personalities... one is a flaming illogical antichristian liberal, while,the second personality if a center of the road lefty with occasional bouts of semi-clarity
TomAYto, TomAHto...
Nice to see some leftie dope wake up a little.
Yea. Catch up Bill. It started when the left was allowed to cancel conservative speakers on campus. The Democrat party and their minions are devoted followers of the CCP.
