Maher: ‘Woke Revolution’ Is a Lot Like Mao’s Cultural Revolution
Breitbart ^ | 02/04/2023 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 02/04/2023 7:11:47 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that “today’s woke revolution” has striking similarities to China’s Cultural Revolution of the 1960s under Chairman Mao and “we do have our own Red Guard here, but they do their rampaging on Twitter.”

Maher stated, “Yesterday, I asked ChatGPT, are there any similarities between today’s woke revolution and Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution of the 1960s? And it wrote back, how long do you have? Because, again, in China, we saw how a revolutionary thought he could do a page-one rewrite of humans. Mao ordered his citizens to throw off the four olds: old thinking, old culture, old customs, and old habits. So, your whole life went in the garbage overnight, no biggie. And those who resisted were attacked by an army of purifiers called the Red Guard, who went around the country putting dunce caps on people…who didn’t take to being a new kind of mortal being. A lot of pointing and shaming went on — oh, and about a million dead — and the only way to survive was to plead insanity for the crime of being insufficiently radical, then apologize and thank the state for the chance to see what a piece of shit you are, and of course, submit to re-education, or as we call it here in America, freshman orientation.”

Maybe Maher realizes that he’s a target of the Woke mob just like the rest of us.

America’s Red Guard was created in the toxic stew of grievance studies programs on America’s campus’. It’s been building for many years. The Reg Guard openly says that the 1A is a threat to “democracy” also known as communism.

As was made clear in their (programmed) response to those of us who chose to remain unvaccinated. They make no bones about us: They want all who do not share their warped view of the world dead.

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.

I don't know when this changed. Who the hell put HR in charge. Back in my day they did the paroll, insurance and other benefits. They processed employment applications but were never in charge of selections or any disciplinary actions.

Now they seem to be running the show. I don't understand why management gave them so much power. If an HR person came into my office spewing woke nonsense, I would have said "Get the F+++ out of my office and get back to payroll".

I guess its a good thing I retired when I did.

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.

You're right. And we have to encourage ALL Republican Governors to follow Ron DeSantis' lead and keep sexual kink and commie orthodoxy out of elementary schools.

” They want all who do not share their warped view of the world dead.”

I am in the blue part of Ohio and I can detect that in the hard leftists around me. They don’t say it outright, but it’s easy to detect.

We're all targets of the 'WOKE MOB' - (group 'evil') - inquisitions, Nazis, Stalin collectivism, Chinese Cultural Revolution, crap going back to Genesis ...

You're either with the current evil, you're one of it's targets or you're suiting up for battle. It's happening and in our time... What a mess.

Ever wonder how Mao, Stalin… Hitler n Mussolini came to power in essentially the same generation? I feel like I missed a couple, Fidel and the Japanese dictator.

Now they seem to be running the show. I don't understand why management gave them so much power.

The current purpose of HR is to avoid having the company get hit with a discrimination lawsuit.

It's not HR, it's Congress and the courts. HR is just the people that senior management put there to try to ensure that the wolves eat them last.

Also a big factor is that the Left gets to decide what is “Controversial”, and if it’s one thing companies always want to avoid, it’s controversy.

That does not work. Anyone can file a lawsuit for anything. No one can show me any evidences of the lawsuits that were NOT filed because HR was doing such a good job.

I would speculate that these departments along with their toxic training encourages more suits not less.

But he still refuses to abandon the dark side.

I’m sure he votes for the people who are responsible for what he now opposes.

Like most libs he has trouble connecting dots, but he does show signs of progress.
