It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

God I saw this clip of him interviewing Marianne Williamson, he was complaining about “elite Ivy League schools” (never mind he went to Cornell) and how they’re brainwashing school children these days. Marianne pushed back that kids aren’t being taught by Ivy League professors, and his response was “yeah well those professors are training the teachers.” Motherfucker thinks every public school teacher went to an Ivy League.
He also bemoaned that modern universities don’t allow for independent thinking and non-conformity, then in the next breath complained about students talking back to their professors. Like, which is it asshole, are students pressed into conformity or are they too free in questioning authority?
God, it would be so funny if someone went on his panel show and, after one of his tirades, asked him, "So, when did you become your dad?"
That’s the core of boomer
, they’re terminally stuck in the mentality that they’re never the “old people” and so they see anything that goes against their worldview is “the man keeping them down.” There’s zero self-awareness that they’re “The Man” now.
What false consciousness does to an mf
he's a millionaire. nothing "false" about it.
Not for Bill Maher but for his audience, you gotta be pretty deep into the cope hole to laugh along at that drivel.
I see this all the time in the business world when it comes to succession planning. One's refusal to face mortality becomes a refusal to train one's replacement, and more importantly, neglecting documenting how one does one's job. I just left a job after just a year where I was being trained to take over a retiring boomer's job, but she'd documented nothing at all for about 20 years, and yet expected me to do things exactly the way she had done them, no deviation, no questions answered. It was highly stressful. I was just burned out.
I don't normally get involved in generational wars. Sorry, working class boomers reading this! No war but the class war! But those among your generational cohort who rose to management positions in the business world consistently display this pattern.
No war but class war. But as someone raised by shitty boomers, somethines you need to release a little generational anger, as a treat.

I can't remember the context but wasn't Bill owned by Ben Affleck of all people on his own show once? I think it was when Mahr had said something Islamaphobic as usual?
He got owned by Norm Macdonald just mocking his whole dumbass discussion once or twice.
You can tell that a show sucks when Norm Macdonald is regularly the least shitty person in the room.
The only person in the room not high on their own farts. Like, he had the only take on china that wasn't "let's nuke them" once or twice on the show.
