The video from Bill Maher in the linked article is well worth watching. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
It’s not the easiest thing for a person to step away from their peer group and question the dogmatic political path the mob has chosen to follow. When it comes to the woke left, stepping out of line is doubly difficult because any deviation from the approved ideology usually means immediate cancellation and excommunication (one’s career is in danger). Only a few years ago it would have been unheard of for a mainstream celebrity to break from the progressive pack and speak publicly about inconvenient truths. Those few that did were quickly blacklisted.
Consider the bizarre leftist war on Star Wars actress Gina Carano, who expressed conservative views on the trans issue and was told she had to participate in a company sponsored Zoom struggle session. The message was clear: She was expected to sublimate herself in front of a crowd of 45 finger-wagging LGBT people in order to make amends. When she refused and continued defending her personal conservative ideals online, she was made an example of and cast out of Hollywood.
Bill Maher is, if anything, clever about his timing like most comedians. His rebellion against the woke mob has been carefully crafted in a way that has allowed him to avoid outright cancellation. It’s not as impressive a revolt as Gina Carano’s because the risk today is far less, but at least he’s willing to address the obvious hypocrisy within the social justice crowd and admit that maybe, just maybe, conservatives had it right all along.
Comrade Maher can hear the pitchforks and torches?
