The Woke Revolution


Here's a hint, when an unapologetic liberal like Bill Maher starts making a whole lot of sense and says you're going too far, you're probably going too far.

lol, yeap, and there are other liberals like Jimmy Dore that are starting to suspect that something is wrong.

reply

Bill Maher has never ever remotely been progressive, or 'woke' (so to speak). This isn't news to anyone.

Liberalism has never been synonymous with 'progressivism'.

reply

If you don't think Bill Maher has evolved in his beliefs and rhetoric, you haven't been paying attention.

Nobody cares what a Brit thinks of American politics anyway. Especially a dumb kid.

reply

What beliefs of his have evolved?

reply

Fucking retard.

So as usual, no answers. Just petty insults like a child.

If I have to explain it to you, I'll be old and gray before you get it. Got better things to do than be your parent.

Back to replying to me like a babyman who only knows insults as usual

It absolutely has. It's also synonymous with "mental disorder", too.

Provide evidence please.

Liberalism is a political term that long predates the notion of "progressivism"

reply

You're not American, our politics are different than yours. Stop projecting your Nanny State nonsense on America, it will never work.

When did I even talk about "nanny state nonsense"?

Liberalism has a widely accepted term of reference that is not different in the USA vs. in Europe. The term is much, much older than the contemporary usage of 'progressivism' (or what its come to incorporate). Bill Maher has never been progressive.

The UK is the epitome of nanny state nonsense. You have no perspective, so we don't expect you to understand and your opinion is meaningless in the context of US politics.

Left/right, conservative/liberal are absolutely dependent on where you're standing. Again, no perspective.

Bill Maher is absolutely progressive, or at least was.

Which does not remotely impact the standard definition of "liberal".

>Left/right, conservative/liberal are absolutely dependent on where you're standing. Again, no perspective.

The definitions aren't, but what is in vogue is. So classical liberalism, for instance, is not very popular in the UK at all. It is much more popular in the USA. This does not mean that "classical liberalism" has two different meanings in the UK and USA.

>Bill Maher is absolutely progressive, or at least was.

Based on what?
