Bill talks about language and how it's being abused and misused to the detriment of society as a whole. Once again hitting the nail right on the head of lunatics wanting to mold language to fit their views rather than how it should be used. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

How language is used evolves though, for example terms like transphobe or racist was used as a matter of serious indictment of bigotry, these days the same words are used less sparingly and more as a school yard insult, which is ok too, language evolves.

So I'm only about to start it, but I'm assuming that this is just basically another "old man yelling at clouds" junk from Maher because he can't hide how out of touch he is now that Trump isn't President.
EDIT: Lol I got 35 seconds in before I was proven right. I think it's more like Bill doesn't understand how words work, and he's using like, randos on Twitter to try to back up his own **** take. Bill should know "phobic" has had multiple meanings for a LONG TIME. Bill's justification is basically "I don't want to be called Islamophobic". Like words change over time, that's how language works, and Bill wants it to be like the 90s when he was "too far left" A half-assed google says the Nirvana thing is just a 30 year old man (who's had like, decades of being the "Nirvana baby" doesn't want his dick on an album... which I think is fair. And otherwise its just more "bleh the left is TOO PROGRESSIVE now that I'm not the most progressive and therefore they're the entire reason America is ending and not my "Enlightened Centrist" crap. He Acts like Weight Watchers changing their name is some kind of kowtowing to the left for ****s sake. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Language itself is infinitely mutable and has and always will be mutated for the sake of political reasons. Bill thinks we are standing on solid ground, but the truth is we are treading water and its time he learns how to swim. But you know what isn't mutable? The concept itself. Lets say that there are roses and someone goes, "well, I think weeds should be roses too, and you should also believe this." If they have enough power and enough people go along with it, the word will change. But the concept hasn't. The fact is, there are differences between weeds and roses and now there isn't an arrangement of symbols to properly distinguish them. A clever person can then fill in that gap and the concept that others sought to distort returns again. His mistake is he thinks the symbolic representations of concepts are sacred, not the concepts themselves. This doesn't mean we shouldn't be wary of them doing this and resist of such political manipulation.

alt right Bill Maher Is he alt right? I watched the clip (in which i think he makes a lot of sense, though i disagree with some of it) and then saw his interview with Sean Spicer who is a republican. https://youtu.be/gcpzcyX1ILE He doesn't sound very alt-right to me. What makes people alt-right btw? It was a term used a lot about Donald Trump, who lied a lot to get cheers/votes. I figured alt-right was the conspiracy part of the right, the far-right. --- Hell is not a place you go if you're not a Christian, it's the failure of your life's greatest ambition -Immortal Technique ...

It definitely needs to be said and called out. Twisting words to fit your agenda is a common tactic thats really childish. One example is referring to ALL people who illegally enter the country as asylum seekers. Because, you know its not true and it attempts to negate a serious crime to fit political agendas. Its far too common now.
But when your side controls the narrative, you get to phrase things to fit your opinions. One other example is the capitol rioters (domestic terrorists) calling themselves patriots. Theres one from both groups. --- So long, Thanks for all the fish! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Its far too common now. I've not heard this to be a common problem before, on the other side however, it's very much a problem that immigrants are talked about as criminals and welfware queens etc. Shouldn't that be dealt with? I agree that not all immigrants are asylum seekers, some want a better and safer life.

BTW, yes zoomer was also written on the stone tablets, its not like we made that word up okay? And its not like we just made up language okay? And language does NOT evolve over time, got it?! --- Good vibes only ... Copied to Clipboard!
