I hate Bill Maher for continuing to fall into the same meaningless dumbshit mindset of categorizing every opinion as being either "leftwing" or "rightwing", "liberal" or "conservative". Exactly what is wrong with him. And you.
@@theultimatereductionist7592 But it wasn't Bill Maher who started that motion, it was the people you described in your own comment who made every opinion as being either "leftwing" or "rightwing", "liberal" or "conservative"

Why do you think he gets along so well with folks like Jordan Peterson I’m not like most folks on these comments sections… I understand that people are constantly evolving, learning and changing their opinions. Just because we all have things were wrong about… Doesn’t mean that we won’t learn and decide differently in the future.

Even though nobody likes them, they just gain more and more power, brainwash more and more people. I'm not hopeful anymore, the west is doomed. Doomed to either continue fading, or full on repeat the socialist horrors of the 20th Century. The days of western prosperity and progress are numbered.
Reporters can't do that. They can only report events, it's not their job to give opinions. That is why Fox News is considered universally to be complete trash.
If by comedians you mean Bill Maher and George Carlin, then yes. But Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel and Trevor Noah have been bought by the people they're supposed to make fun of.
@@Hari_Parmar Well the former is of someone who is too young to know better, and the latter sounds like someone who has been broken and conditioned. Both of these cases are the exception. However very recently there were a group of Americans that made a video game regarding the Mongol invasion of Japan. Japan loved it and felt like it encapsulated thier culture of that time. However SJW's actually INSULTED Japanese people calling them fascists for liking such a game. What a bunch of egotistical dumbasses to insult a culture and a set of beliefs different of thier own. The game was Ghost of Tsushima of you want to look it up yourself.
I'll only note that its more fitting term is the "control left". They may be fringe lunatics, but unlike the alt-right they aren't marginalized. To any leftwingers who aren't aware: just know that even in "alternative" circles, white nationalism is despised. Hence almost all so-called "alt-righters" that get mentioned, are people openly opposing the (WN) alt-right.
Actually, being liberal means being opposed to it. It's an illiberal concept. Liberals are left of center and libertarian. The ctrl-left is left of center (usually much further left) and authoritarian. It's a mistake on Maher's part to refer to the insane illiberal leftists on Twitter as "liberal". They are nothing of the sort.
Lets be honest the Socalism jokes and walking ect on the right are fake but the Lefts Cultural Appropriation garbage and SJW crap is the real issue here make no mistake

Just here to say I'm Egyptian and dressing like Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs and gods is totally OK with every Egyptian I know so have fun and don't listen to anti fun police .
@Polydynamix We actually do know. it is called pictures. They can be found on walls at ancient sites in Egypt. Also that is why we know Egypt was conquered and taken over by tribes from further south of Africa
@Polydynamix& urduib: you guys bungled a few things pretty badly. Yes, Cleopatra VII of Egypt was not a native Egyptian, she was an ethnic Macedonian Greek, but she was not born in Greece, she was born in the Greek city-state of Alexandria on Egyptian soil (her ancestors Ptolemy I Soter and Berenice I came from Greece as colonizers after the conquests of Alexander the Great).
@urduib: also, tribes from further south of Africa? What? I think you mean the time Egypt was conquered by black Kushites from the region of Nubia, which was in Sudan, in East Africa. In either case, that was the "Nubian" 25th dynasty founded by Piye. It was the first sub-Saharan black dynasty in Egypt minus the Nubians who invaded Upper Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period and were fought by native Egyptians like Kamose and Ahmose I.
And thirdly, a lot of carved temple reliefs in Egypt contain symbolic colors for skin, but we have pretty decent realistic statues that depict native Egyptians and they look like regular North African Caucasians, not blacks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seated_Scribe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaaper
^ Those are just some examples from the Old Kingdom period. Here we can see Egyptians didn't change much in terms of facial features or other phenotypes with the highly realistic Greco-Roman-style portraits of the (pagan era) Fayum mummies from Roman Egypt during the 1st-4th centuries AD: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits
Since it's so large and diverse, you can find literally any opinion on anything. That makes it easy for a HuffPost "reporter" to find something offensive and use it as pretext to publish a story he already wrote about something that pissed him off--like dressing as a Native American for Halloween.
What pisses me off is that companies listen to the shouters on Twitter and apologize and pull products because of them even if most people don´t give two shits about who is "offended".
*Why does anyone give a shit about what happens on twitter?* It's the superior form of communication, closest thing to telepathy we got now. Even though almost no one learned how to use it, there's no instruction manual. Learn from Trump and other big accounts

Liberals aren't defined by adherence to "PC culture". It may have infected some of us, but Conservatives have been trying to install their own version of political correctness since before "PC culture" became a term.
R Garlin haha.....It’s time to step out of your echo chamber there dude. Bill is the biggest statist there is and plays in to every divide and conquer trap there is.

@peter I think the problem is social media.. You got a very small but loud minority which we call "SJWs" who use social media to amplify their opinions.
He’s like Dennis Miller to me. I disagree with him about 3/4 of the time (in Dennis Miller’s case, I disagree with him a majority of the time), but son of a bitch, they make me laugh
I’ve been watching Bill Maher for years now, and this is probably one of the funniest bits he’s ever done! I admire how he’s a popular public figure yet he’s never been one to back down from calling out people on their bullshit.
The PC Culture has been the one topic Bill Maher has ALWAYS been on the right side of. You can argue that he’s moved from Libertarian to more Liberal. This saddens me. But he’s denounced PC culture consistently, and for THAT I applaud him.
He's moved liberal/leftist on economics, as he favors more wealth redistribution and business regulation. But on social issues, he remained pretty much a libertarian, in that he rejects the increased social regulations that conservatives and liberals typically favor (on offensive speech, drugs, prostitution, protecting certain identity groups, stricter decency standards, encouraging monogamy, greater emphasis on consent, etc.)
Why should him being more pregressive sadden u. U realize there has NEVER existed a successful libertarian society, right? Its about as likely to succeed as a socialist one. I applied him for realizing how stupid free market capitalism is. He deserves scorn for being a Hillary still, tho.
"You can argue that he’s moved from Libertarian to more Liberal." I guess he would not be OK with less regulation on pollution and starving people. You know, things which people have worked hundreds of years for to make it more humane. Being liberal and anti-PC was not a problem for Carlin either.
If you like spaghetti? Guess what... Italians appropriated noodles from China. Should Germans be offended by Hot Dogs as "bastard sausages"? Just because you like one style of pizza doesnt mean everyone else is "doing it wrong". Just because we need a conversation about how to respectfully exchange/ draw from one anothers culture, doesnt mean its all "appropriation". That's still just avoiding the conversation, SJWs! My kid is Trick or Treat-ing as a Lobbyist. A small briefcase overstuffed with monopoly money hanging out the edges, and over-slick blazer/hair. Take the holiday back to its roots of kids dressing as *monsters!* But I have to say, those Native American costumes share more in common with blackface than with a respectful costume of... even Flavor Flav or the Black Panther. And thanks to SJWs, we never get to articulate that difference.
@@paulgorman2276 SJWs (since 6000 years ago)... well with the current Judaeo-Christian fear-based culture spread throughout the world and population (even those who claim against Christianity or religions) I think we shouldn't not avoid the conversation... Thus, population is completely "chopped off" by IQ score (there are not yet 1 million people with more than 145IQ score... and the quantity of people below the line of 100 is astounding!!!). Civilization would crash if we jumped back PC onto hate speech (the wrong ones like hating gays and shit like that) while people wouldn't know what the hell they would be doing and for what reasons. Far worse than the Third Reich for the communists and jews and worldwidely. Probably the current and future billionaires will tap this trouble with the amount of information on the internet...
Just an fyi, NO actual Asian people think it's cultural appropriation if you wear their cultural clothing. In fact, I live in Japan and sometimes I am required to wear their cultural garments. For example, if I want to do judo or kendo, the first thing people ask is if I have the appropriate uniform. And guess what, that's their cultural garments they're deeming is the only appropriate garment for me to wear. Ironic. The term cultural appropriation should be reserved for when a majority member uses a cultural item to undermine and taunt the stereotyped image of a minority group. Too many lefties (and I am a leftist) think East Asians are a minority group. Pfft, not in their countries they're not. We white people are a significant minority over here. So it makes no sense to get all up in arms if a young woman wears a kimono or Chinese dress. Over here, they're encouraged to wear them, and there are companies solely targeting foreign business.
Nicholas Arminius I’ve spent time in Japan, the host family I stayed with gave me a yukata, similar to a kimono but with different material. If I wore it as a costume and some SJW told me “that’s racist!” “or culturally insensitive” I’d tell them to fuck off, if the Japanese family who actually gave it to me as a gift wants me to wear it, who the fuck are SJWs to tell me what they think is “racist or insensitive?”
White people are a significant minority globally. Whites are only like 10 percent of the global population. Asians appropriate the fuck out of us, blacks too. You seen Koreans break dance? The fuckers are good.
@@stevenreid2571 yes except youre trying to be offended by something related to Christianity Everyone knows its ok to bash Christianity unless its black Christianity
People just get offended and outraged too quickly now. It's just tiresome at this point. It leads to a culture where you feel like you can't talk about anything
no, it leads to a culture where you start NOT to care anymore, and when something happens that needs an outcry nobody will listen. the old "boy crys wolf" story? not told anymore to kids?
Roy Fokker I don’t know about the States, but it has really taken off here in Japan the last few years because it allows girls to slather on make up and socially awkward guys to hide their face behind a mask.
well see, you're offended by other people taking offence. it's like not tolerating intolerance. we have to let people be people and not involve ourselves with those that annoy or cause us pain. here, most of us are here to enjoy the show, some are here to bitch about anything/everything. but most are here to enjoy
The majority of people are moderate. It's just that the minority on the extreme ends, by nature of having more extreme views, make interesting articles that get clicks. So all 'journilists' do now, is find that tiny number of people upset about something on Twitter and blow it up into an outrage.
I don't think I've ever heard him ripping on the left of center without first dumping on the right. Seriously. Take any bit where he attacks right, it's just that. Any attack on the left is started with an attack on the right. And the only two topics he has ripped on the left is Islam (being of Jewish ancestry I think can be seen as bias) and free speech (as a result of him being targeted as a comedian on college campuses for boycott/protest). He will never rip on the extremes of either side in total fairness.
Robert Fournier you are correct about that. I always found it confusing that Bill claims to be a libertarian but is so quick to jump in to defend the left. His hatred of Trump is really misconstrued. I do agree with him when it comes to marijuana legalization, political correctness/free speech, and his views on religion to an extent. But with everything else, I take with a grain a salt or I’m just pissed at him, pretty much
I am pretty liberal and it warms my heart that we can agree on humor!! I really think that if we can reach across the aisles and with humor and respect for each other as well as love for our country, we are going to be okay. I hope you have a beautiful weekend!!
It would be easier to side with Cons about the anti -politically correct thing if they could differentiate between not being PC, and willfully being a jerk. They don't seem to see a difference anymore.

Who thinks companies should be allowed to dictate the morals, the sex life and the lifestyle of their employees? Who wants to push their religious views onto everyone in your country to the extent they want creationism taught as science in schools? Who doesn't believe immigrants should have some pride in or love for their culture? Who thinks that Black Lives DON'T matter when it comes to police abuse? Bill is so right when he says some on the left over-react to petty and meaningless things like Halloween costumes but the right has its snowflakes too, enough to make a blizzard of views that is almost white enough for the Idiot-in-Chief!
Wasn't that something Jr or Eric said last year? Except, he wasn't joking, or being even slightly sarcastic.... I remember, cause Colbert made a skit with candy puns out of that 🍬🍭😏
I don't think the left has a pc problem... the problem is that journalists find 5 people on twitter who are mad at something and then they write an article talking about how a whole race of people are "outraged" and post those 5 twitter handles as examples...
ryan braun you must be joking. It’s much more than 5 people on Twitter. It’s all over the left. The worst is on college campuses. I agree with the lefts position on most issues but find myself rooting for the Republicans because of the “woke folks”.
The left has a PC problem, but you're right that those "journalists" (which Bill also alluded to) have propagated it by presenting a few people's tweets as evidence of a mainstream opinion. As the commenter above said though, real people are having their lives ruined over this all the time. The problem is rooted in human psychology. Even liberals who disagree with an insane PC opinion cannot speak out against it for fear of being excommunicated from their "tribe", so instead they stay silent, virtue signal or even accuse others to ensure their own safety, which has allowed PC culture to seemingly take over mainstream liberals and is threatening free speech as we know it. So it is not only a problem, but in my opinion the left's biggest problem because it actively repels people who would be inclined to support the left and empowers people on the opposite extreme like Trump.
Sure you are on point. The SJW are just a tool, they literally protest about anything. I mean what is cultural appropriation if not diluted segregation?
@@domc2909 Because being outraged is a very cheap thing to do. Actually investing money into those communities that could use it, is a lot harder. Invest massive amounts into the education system and we will see big improvements. But this would also require paying teachers a living wage.
While I do understand the controversy of blackface, as long as the costume isn't overtly racist, can we allow Halloween to be the one time when people who aren't black dress up as black people if they want? There is a difference between a white person dressing up as their favourite rapper or Black Panther and one dressing up as a slave or mammy. Think about it for a few minutes, you'll figure out the difference soon enough.
Cristian Proust This is true, a lot of mouth breathing sportball fans don’t understand what the flag stands for. They think it stands for their half wit son in the army 🤣
Because of the recent controversy. One of the stories that went around about the killing of the journalist was that his body was cut up with a bone saw. Amazing what the news will tell you...
Great idea! This is especially true for people who cast their votes on high school or college campuses as they won't have to worry about trying to find a good parking space or possibly disrupting classes.
Bashing PC is FAR more common than actual PC. I've never heard a rule that "You can't be a pirate." It's a little bit of pants shitting by Bill Maher. And some nonsense the right can use to attack the left when the right gets caught doing something actually bad. Get caught making racist remarks? Make up shit about how your right to be a pirate has been taken away. False equivalency.
I'm 53 and I agree. In the 80's it was the conservatives who wanted to censer heavy metal albums and remove Playboy from 7-11. We (liberals) were the fun ones. The Republicans got so involved with the social issues that they drove my dad (a life long republican) out of the party.

great segment. It's why I enjoy South Park tearing into SJWs and PC Police. You hit it right on the head, the groups they hope to defend don't like them either, we can all agree to have human dignity in not needing protectors and not be an authoritarian leftist.
I'm 62 and when I was a boy one of the things I learned, as did all kids, was the Golden Rule which said "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." It wasn't a bad thing to teach children. In my opinion it was a good thing. It stayed with me all my life and I stuck to it the best I could. Sometime between then and now, someone renamed the rule "PC", and everyone started thinking they were being taken advantage of. Now everyone is like "you're not gonna fool me!" Crazy times we live in. Crazy.
@Halberdier So is school then. Are you too lazy to consider other humans feeling about what you say and do? Is that too much of a load on you? It wasn't drilled into me. My mom told me it when I was little and it made complete sense to me even as a child. You're a grown man and you still have trouble with it. Did your parents ever tell you to be a good boy? Were they practicing mind control? Jesus man.
@Halberdier The very reason America has become a divided, hate-filled shithole country on the brink of it's second civil war is because you're all too lazy to give a sweet fuck about anyone but yourselves. The results are in. Look around pal.
@sluttyMapleSyrup Exactly, the ignorance or some people is baffling. The bill was created to specifically reinforce the anti discrimination law, which was too vague to apply to gender identity. That is all. Obviously, some want to misconstrue the law and use their twisted views to further their agendas. Glad to find someone else who understands why this bill was created and how it is used.
Well said Bill...I'd also add that just because it's called 'political' correctness, doesn't mean that politicians can do a damn thing to change it, so never let it influence your vote.
This couldnt happen. And even in the show it happened purely due to extreme circomstances surrounding this change in womans rights (if you dont know what im talking about read the book or watch the show). And if you read between the lines just a smudge, beyond the personal sad story of June, it basically says the system, while cruel, was warrented and effective. While other democracies were failing. And im here talking about the book n tv show, nothing real life related, before anyone goes PC on me 😂
@@walkinondamoon1 & @1984 is not a handbook: Not going to go PC on ya.. but.. Do not the preceding instances involve similarities between the book or movie and our society today? A society filled with negativity towards women, "bleeding out" remarks during public rallies against women of the media and political realm, drastic decrease of male and female fertility and declining birthrates in the U.S. likely due in great part to namely environmental influences (pollution that will continue to be allowed under this administration, genetic issues that will not be addressed by our nation (especially if preexisting conditions are removed from ACA), female reporters, senators and house members being interrupted as if they are nonconsequential (return to prior patriarchal periods in which women were to be educated but only so much as to not interfere with male on male conversations but provide decent offspring) and that women have no true control over their bodies (evident in legislation passed in each state in conflict with Roe Vs. Wade, all in dominance over females, not merely reproductive in nature... Actual national discussion over whether a woman who is impregnated during rape, that it must've been an act of god and cannot be "murdered"... )... Tell me it's not happening. It's a sociological pattern.. that if we return to, WMD's will have a totally different meaning... White Male Dominance over every other class..
@@ursaltydog well no. Ok so the push of this new religious/ideological movement didnt come about out of the blue. It came from sudden decline of births, destruction of environment, seeping of all sort of modern chemicals into our bodies making us not fertile. It didnt come about from todays society. But a place on a brink of destruction. This ideological view came from the (from their view) self destructive modern free loving, fully freed of responsability and only looking at your own well being selfish behavior. Why both sexes were for this ideology in such huge numbers. In the book they were in the right that extreme measures were necessary to clean up the ecological mess (causing a sevete food shortage), and toxic way of living (all the chemicals and radiations from different devices) and make a concentrated repopulation program to save mankind. Its very logical in such extreme times to, for sake of survival, throw away personal freedoms and rights. (Infact books ending shows how well that state did, that the state was able later to transform back into a liberal state after the crisis was overcome). Todays society is far from this state of crisis so things wount change. There is no catalyst for that. No matter how much ISIS or any extremests of any sorts would like it to happen. Infact today, in law woman have more rights than men. There is no possible way to turn back the times. For one modern economies are based on equality and both gendered workforce. For that to happen woman always need to have equal rights. One is linked to the other. If they didnt work economy of the west (and east) would collaps. This is why muslim countries where women dont work, or dont work in great numbers (unless they have extreme buttload of oil and their workforce is 60% + foreigners) are in a very bad state and have bad quality of life. If you mean just reproductive rights.... wellll those are seperate issues. In Ireland for example they only recently allowed abortions, and women have all the rights man have and never felt discriminated. But that right will never be overturned. Limited at worst. But it aint going away.
@@walkinondamoon1 You're right.. it didn't "come out of" but it's espoused in the collective beliefs of conservativism that bordered on outright communist aggression. But how was that crisis overturned? Because it went way too far... And we ARE headed towards that state.. many countries are, and it's due to a perception that immigrants all over the world are supplanting the WMD. Women may have more rights than compared to before, but they are slipping, because the consciiousness is reversing, just as it is for LGBT.. Their rights are being threatened to be reversed, from not merely marriage but outright living.. State by state is legislating gays to be denied rights to work.. for employers to have the right to fire if they are found to be gay.. merely to provide a roof over their heads and to eat.. Unless of course they want to go to extremes to hide again.. like in the 1930's.. The manager of the recent mail bomber was quoted that she didn't have a right to fire Sayoc based upon his political beliefs even though those political beliefs were aimed verbally at her in violent rhetoric. But because he did his job and did it well, she felt she did not have a right to deprive him of employment. Would we get the same treatment in those states? No.. As for western economy depending upon women in the workforce, that has not stopped other nations from once having liberated women working in the workforce to stay home, mask their entire bodies, not being able to drive or be alone without the accompaniment of a male overseer. I'm referring to Iran here... And it happened nearly overnight.. And we, the U.S. caused that.. Don't think it can't happen here? Rights are being overturned and liquified from the last administration in just two years. Voters rights, voters laws, (Voters Rights act of 1965 weakened in 2013 (5-4 decision) to the extent, there is no oversight in new laws that affect minorities for instance). Every cabinet and major office and now judicial seats (not just the Supreme court) are being filled with oligarch elites bent on Conservative Darwinism.. That's how quickly it can come.. 4-8yrs, if something is not done.

@Don Larson Crazy ideas like spending money on health care, education, and infrastructure rather than endless wars, a wall and creating massive inequality through tax cuts and subsidizing their doners. What answers does the right offer to any of these problems?
The problem that I have with this mess is the treatment of everything as if it is the same. Imaginary cultural things like the handmaids tale ( originally a syfy novel), is given equal footing with the actual historical practice of white entertainers in black face. The Halloween notions of goblins, ghosts, witches, movie superheroes,etc. has about as much in common with real life anything as unicorn dust to the treatment for headache. Where has all the laughter gone?
Zero people today wear blackface to insult or demean. If someone decides to wear blackface as a celebration, who are you to say he can't do that due to similarity to some distant past none of us remember or support? Zero people are harmed by blackface. And zero are even insulted, unless they themselves choose to. If your sensibilities find it inappropiate, don't do it... but that doesn't mean you shouldn't tolerate others who do not make that connection.
What really made me laugh with this (other than the well-written Kanye joke) was hearing how his boisterous audience turned nearly silent when he started in on SJW CULTure, and "cultural appropriation." They were going nuts, cheering at every word he was saying, the first half of this clip, because he was speaking against people that were on the right. But the second he started in on the left, a hush fell over that same crowd. Strange how that works. We truly are a tribalistic nation, and it has gotten much worse the last 10 years.
Wot? Were you watching the same video? They cheered plenty of stuff towards the end. They were probably told to keep quiet when Bill read those statistics, though, to not interupt him.
@@FloridatedH2O Group psychology explains it already. Maher's comments are risky, and everyone in the audience knows whether they themselves like it or hate it. But they don't know it of the others. And (mind you, this is subconscious), imagine if you're the only one who cheers. Amidst a whole crowd of haters. Maher is safely on stage, but you're surrounded. So, often people stay silent and wait. If there aren't many boos, someone 'brave' feel safe enough to cheer. Then some others know they're not alone, and cheer. As more cheer, more people feel it's safe and go along. What can follow then, is that those who actually hate it, hear a lot of cheers and now feel they're in the minority. So the reverse happens: the more cowardly start cheering along. Then more and more, until everybody cheers. No need to assume "conspiracy" when psychology already predicts it.
In Iran. Anyone wanting to blacken their faces should make a trip abd do it there. In the US and other places with a history of slavery I wouldn't advise doing it.
There has always been political correctness, it just hasn't always been called that, and *which things* are politically incorrect has changed over time.

Reporters can't do that. They can only report events, it's not their job to give opinions. That is why Fox News is considered universally to be complete trash.
Most comedians are only reporters with original thoughts...
Mahr is truly a comedian. Always loved his humor.

He nailed it as usual. I like how he goes after the alt right and alt left. Go get em Bill.
I'll only note that its more fitting term is the "control left". They may be fringe lunatics, but unlike the alt-right they aren't marginalized.
To any leftwingers who aren't aware: just know that even in "alternative" circles, white nationalism is despised. Hence almost all so-called "alt-righters" that get mentioned, are people openly opposing the (WN) alt-right.
Christians are not the Alt-right. Are you serious?
Bill Maher roasted everyone like chestnuts.
Just because someone’s a liberal does not mean they are not against political correctness.
Actually, being liberal means being opposed to it. It's an illiberal concept. Liberals are left of center and libertarian. The ctrl-left is left of center (usually much further left) and authoritarian.
It's a mistake on Maher's part to refer to the insane illiberal leftists on Twitter as "liberal". They are nothing of the sort.

Just here to say I'm Egyptian and dressing like Ancient Egyptian Pharaohs and gods is totally OK with every Egyptian I know so have fun and don't listen to anti fun police .
@Polydynamix We actually do know. it is called pictures. They can be found on walls at ancient sites in Egypt. Also that is why we know Egypt was conquered and taken over by tribes from further south of Africa
@Polydynamix& urduib: you guys bungled a few things pretty badly. Yes, Cleopatra VII of Egypt was not a native Egyptian, she was an ethnic Macedonian Greek, but she was not born in Greece, she was born in the Greek city-state of Alexandria on Egyptian soil (her ancestors Ptolemy I Soter and Berenice I came from Greece as colonizers after the conquests of Alexander the Great).
@urduib: also, tribes from further south of Africa? What? I think you mean the time Egypt was conquered by black Kushites from the region of Nubia, which was in Sudan, in East Africa. In either case, that was the "Nubian" 25th dynasty founded by Piye. It was the first sub-Saharan black dynasty in Egypt minus the Nubians who invaded Upper Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period and were fought by native Egyptians like Kamose and Ahmose I.
And thirdly, a lot of carved temple reliefs in Egypt contain symbolic colors for skin, but we have pretty decent realistic statues that depict native Egyptians and they look like regular North African Caucasians, not blacks.

Why does anyone give a shit about what happens on twitter?
Since it's so large and diverse, you can find literally any opinion on anything. That makes it easy for a HuffPost "reporter" to find something offensive and use it as pretext to publish a story he already wrote about something that pissed him off--like dressing as a Native American for Halloween.
+Def Misanthrope Yes, in essence, it's just a tool to sell more ads to the public.

Meh
I’ve been watching Bill Maher for years now, and this is probably one of the funniest bits he’s ever done! I admire how he’s a popular public figure yet he’s never been one to back down from calling out people on their bullshit.
The difference of reaction to the Elizabeth Warren joke and the Kanye one is noticeable
The audience is leftists what do you expect
Most of the audience are liberals, something I was two years ago, but Mahr, he is the boss of comedy. I laughed at all the jokes.
The Elizabeth Warren was the start of the one joke and the Kanye one was the punchline.
The PC Culture has been the one topic Bill Maher has ALWAYS been on the right side of. You can argue that he’s moved from Libertarian to more Liberal. This saddens me. But he’s denounced PC culture consistently, and for THAT I applaud him.
He's moved liberal/leftist on economics, as he favors more wealth redistribution and business regulation. But on social issues, he remained pretty much a libertarian, in that he rejects the increased social regulations that conservatives and liberals typically favor (on offensive speech, drugs, prostitution, protecting certain identity groups, stricter decency standards, encouraging monogamy, greater emphasis on consent, etc.)
I'm still annoyed that he apologised for the "senator, I'm a house N"#%r" joke, but he has always called put the snowflake offended bullshit.
Why should him being more pregressive sadden u. U realize there has NEVER existed a successful libertarian society, right? Its about as likely to succeed as a socialist one. I applied him for realizing how stupid free market capitalism is. He deserves scorn for being a Hillary still, tho.
I'm with Bill when it comes to PC culture
"You can argue that he’s moved from Libertarian to more Liberal."
I guess he would not be OK with less regulation on pollution and starving people. You know, things which people have worked hundreds of years for to make it more humane.
Being liberal and anti-PC was not a problem for Carlin either.
This is so true PC has to stop, you can still be polite but PC is ridiculous
If you like spaghetti? Guess what... Italians appropriated noodles from China. Should Germans be offended by Hot Dogs as "bastard sausages"? Just because you like one style of pizza doesnt mean everyone else is "doing it wrong".
Just because we need a conversation about how to respectfully exchange/ draw from one anothers culture, doesnt mean its all "appropriation". That's still just avoiding the conversation, SJWs!
My kid is Trick or Treat-ing as a Lobbyist. A small briefcase overstuffed with monopoly money hanging out the edges, and over-slick blazer/hair. Take the holiday back to its roots of kids dressing as *monsters!*
But I have to say, those Native American costumes share more in common with blackface than with a respectful costume of... even Flavor Flav or the Black Panther. And thanks to SJWs, we never get to articulate that difference.
@@paulgorman2276 SJWs (since 6000 years ago)... well with the current Judaeo-Christian fear-based culture spread throughout the world and population (even those who claim against Christianity or religions) I think we shouldn't not avoid the conversation... Thus, population is completely "chopped off" by IQ score (there are not yet 1 million people with more than 145IQ score... and the quantity of people below the line of 100 is astounding!!!). Civilization would crash if we jumped back PC onto hate speech (the wrong ones like hating gays and shit like that) while people wouldn't know what the hell they would be doing and for what reasons. Far worse than the Third Reich for the communists and jews and worldwidely. Probably the current and future billionaires will tap this trouble with the amount of information on the internet...
Just an fyi, NO actual Asian people think it's cultural appropriation if you wear their cultural clothing. In fact, I live in Japan and sometimes I am required to wear their cultural garments. For example, if I want to do judo or kendo, the first thing people ask is if I have the appropriate uniform. And guess what, that's their cultural garments they're deeming is the only appropriate garment for me to wear. Ironic. The term cultural appropriation should be reserved for when a majority member uses a cultural item to undermine and taunt the stereotyped image of a minority group. Too many lefties (and I am a leftist) think East Asians are a minority group. Pfft, not in their countries they're not. We white people are a significant minority over here. So it makes no sense to get all up in arms if a young woman wears a kimono or Chinese dress. Over here, they're encouraged to wear them, and there are companies solely targeting foreign business.
Nicholas Arminius I’ve spent time in Japan, the host family I stayed with gave me a yukata, similar to a kimono but with different material. If I wore it as a costume and some SJW told me “that’s racist!” “or culturally insensitive” I’d tell them to fuck off, if the Japanese family who actually gave it to me as a gift wants me to wear it, who the fuck are SJWs to tell me what they think is “racist or insensitive?”
White people are a significant minority globally. Whites are only like 10 percent of the global population. Asians appropriate the fuck out of us, blacks too. You seen Koreans break dance? The fuckers are good.

What would you like to discuss that you are so oppressed that you cannot?
I’m a moderate Republican and I love how Bill just rips on everyone here! 😂😂😂
The majority of people are moderate. It's just that the minority on the extreme ends, by nature of having more extreme views, make interesting articles that get clicks. So all 'journilists' do now, is find that tiny number of people upset about something on Twitter and blow it up into an outrage.
Dave Scott of course lmao
I don't think I've ever heard him ripping on the left of center without first dumping on the right. Seriously. Take any bit where he attacks right, it's just that. Any attack on the left is started with an attack on the right. And the only two topics he has ripped on the left is Islam (being of Jewish ancestry I think can be seen as bias) and free speech (as a result of him being targeted as a comedian on college campuses for boycott/protest). He will never rip on the extremes of either side in total fairness.
Robert Fournier you are correct about that. I always found it confusing that Bill claims to be a libertarian but is so quick to jump in to defend the left. His hatred of Trump is really misconstrued. I do agree with him when it comes to marijuana legalization, political correctness/free speech, and his views on religion to an extent. But with everything else, I take with a grain a salt or I’m just pissed at him, pretty much
I am pretty liberal and it warms my heart that we can agree on humor!! I really think that if we can reach across the aisles and with humor and respect for each other as well as love for our country, we are going to be okay. I hope you have a beautiful weekend!!

Who doesn't believe immigrants should have some pride in or love for their culture? Who thinks that Black Lives DON'T matter when it comes to police abuse?

I don't think the left has a pc problem... the problem is that journalists find 5 people on twitter who are mad at something and then they write an article talking about how a whole race of people are "outraged" and post those 5 twitter handles as examples...
The outrage culture is getting people fired.. It's more than just a few articles
ryan braun you must be joking. It’s much more than 5 people on Twitter. It’s all over the left. The worst is on college campuses. I agree with the lefts position on most issues but find myself rooting for the Republicans because of the “woke folks”.
@@PhedelCastro rooting for the Republicans? They are just as much triggered snowflakes as the people they complain about
The left has a PC problem, but you're right that those "journalists" (which Bill also alluded to) have propagated it by presenting a few people's tweets as evidence of a mainstream opinion. As the commenter above said though, real people are having their lives ruined over this all the time. The problem is rooted in human psychology. Even liberals who disagree with an insane PC opinion cannot speak out against it for fear of being excommunicated from their "tribe", so instead they stay silent, virtue signal or even accuse others to ensure their own safety, which has allowed PC culture to seemingly take over mainstream liberals and is threatening free speech as we know it. So it is not only a problem, but in my opinion the left's biggest problem because it actively repels people who would be inclined to support the left and empowers people on the opposite extreme like Trump.
Sure you are on point. The SJW are just a tool, they literally protest about anything. I mean what is cultural appropriation if not diluted segregation?
Over 3/4 of people dislike PC culture? There is hope.

While I do understand the controversy of blackface, as long as the costume isn't overtly racist, can we allow Halloween to be the one time when people who aren't black dress up as black people if they want?

The results are in. Look around pal.
@sluttyMapleSyrup Exactly, the ignorance or some people is baffling. The bill was created to specifically reinforce the anti discrimination law, which was too vague to apply to gender identity. That is all. Obviously, some want to misconstrue the law and use their twisted views to further their agendas. Glad to find someone else who understands why this bill was created and how it is used.
It's the saying that I credit my dad with teaching me over and over. The most important lesson of my life.
Well said Bill...I'd also add that just because it's called 'political' correctness, doesn't mean that politicians can do a damn thing to change it, so never let it influence your vote.
Bill Maher is great in what he does, thank you
I love how no matter how many of Bills videos I click on, absolutely no adverts pop up 👍🏻
Spot on Bill Maher, spot on - I won't even turn on CNN any longer for this very reason.
Tucker Carlson ALWAYS looks like that.
That was some awesome vintage Politically Incorrect BIll Maher!
(Now bring back those "women dressing provocatively"...)
I love Bill so much!
Oh Bill I love you so.
You're on fire sir! I enjoyed this.
The Handsmaid tale could happen.. that's what is scarier than halloween.. Go Vote..
This couldnt happen. And even in the show it happened purely due to extreme circomstances surrounding this change in womans rights (if you dont know what im talking about read the book or watch the show). And if you read between the lines just a smudge, beyond the personal sad story of June, it basically says the system, while cruel, was warrented and effective. While other democracies were failing.
And im here talking about the book n tv show, nothing real life related, before anyone goes PC on me 😂
@@walkinondamoon1 & @1984 is not a handbook: Not going to go PC on ya.. but.. Do not the preceding instances involve similarities between the book or movie and our society today? A society filled with negativity towards women, "bleeding out" remarks during public rallies against women of the media and political realm, drastic decrease of male and female fertility and declining birthrates in the U.S. likely due in great part to namely environmental influences (pollution that will continue to be allowed under this administration, genetic issues that will not be addressed by our nation (especially if preexisting conditions are removed from ACA), female reporters, senators and house members being interrupted as if they are nonconsequential (return to prior patriarchal periods in which women were to be educated but only so much as to not interfere with male on male conversations but provide decent offspring) and that women have no true control over their bodies (evident in legislation passed in each state in conflict with Roe Vs. Wade, all in dominance over females, not merely reproductive in nature... Actual national discussion over whether a woman who is impregnated during rape, that it must've been an act of god and cannot be "murdered"... )... Tell me it's not happening.
It's a sociological pattern.. that if we return to, WMD's will have a totally different meaning... White Male Dominance over every other class..
@@ursaltydog well no. Ok so the push of this new religious/ideological movement didnt come about out of the blue. It came from sudden decline of births, destruction of environment, seeping of all sort of modern chemicals into our bodies making us not fertile. It didnt come about from todays society. But a place on a brink of destruction. This ideological view came from the (from their view) self destructive modern free loving, fully freed of responsability and only looking at your own well being selfish behavior. Why both sexes were for this ideology in such huge numbers. In the book they were in the right that extreme measures were necessary to clean up the ecological mess (causing a sevete food shortage), and toxic way of living (all the chemicals and radiations from different devices) and make a concentrated repopulation program to save mankind. Its very logical in such extreme times to, for sake of survival, throw away personal freedoms and rights. (Infact books ending shows how well that state did, that the state was able later to transform back into a liberal state after the crisis was overcome).
Todays society is far from this state of crisis so things wount change. There is no catalyst for that. No matter how much ISIS or any extremests of any sorts would like it to happen. Infact today, in law woman have more rights than men. There is no possible way to turn back the times. For one modern economies are based on equality and both gendered workforce. For that to happen woman always need to have equal rights. One is linked to the other. If they didnt work economy of the west (and east) would collaps. This is why muslim countries where women dont work, or dont work in great numbers (unless they have extreme buttload of oil and their workforce is 60% + foreigners) are in a very bad state and have bad quality of life.
If you mean just reproductive rights.... wellll those are seperate issues. In Ireland for example they only recently allowed abortions, and women have all the rights man have and never felt discriminated. But that right will never be overturned. Limited at worst. But it aint going away.
@@walkinondamoon1 You're right.. it didn't "come out of" but it's espoused in the collective beliefs of conservativism that bordered on outright communist aggression. But how was that crisis overturned? Because it went way too far... And we ARE headed towards that state.. many countries are, and it's due to a perception that immigrants all over the world are supplanting the WMD. Women may have more rights than compared to before, but they are slipping, because the consciiousness is reversing, just as it is for LGBT.. Their rights are being threatened to be reversed, from not merely marriage but outright living.. State by state is legislating gays to be denied rights to work.. for employers to have the right to fire if they are found to be gay.. merely to provide a roof over their heads and to eat.. Unless of course they want to go to extremes to hide again.. like in the 1930's..
The manager of the recent mail bomber was quoted that she didn't have a right to fire Sayoc based upon his political beliefs even though those political beliefs were aimed verbally at her in violent rhetoric. But because he did his job and did it well, she felt she did not have a right to deprive him of employment. Would we get the same treatment in those states? No..
As for western economy depending upon women in the workforce, that has not stopped other nations from once having liberated women working in the workforce to stay home, mask their entire bodies, not being able to drive or be alone without the accompaniment of a male overseer. I'm referring to Iran here... And it happened nearly overnight.. And we, the U.S. caused that..
Don't think it can't happen here? Rights are being overturned and liquified from the last administration in just two years. Voters rights, voters laws, (Voters Rights act of 1965 weakened in 2013 (5-4 decision) to the extent, there is no oversight in new laws that affect minorities for instance). Every cabinet and major office and now judicial seats (not just the Supreme court) are being filled with oligarch elites bent on Conservative Darwinism.. That's how quickly it can come.. 4-8yrs, if something is not done.
Political correctness is a huge problem in this country. When you can't laugh at yourself that make you dull and boring. And not likable. Just saying.
1:43 that made me spit out my coffee 😂
I lean toward the center right, but I think Bill is hilarious and right on point 😂
Celebrating Halloween is culturally appropriating Irish/Celtic culture.
Yeah and a lot of Americans think it started in America and they completely bastardised it like they do with every cultural holiday
JustSome IrishMan America “bastardizes” every holiday and makes it our own. Then the rest of the world follows our lead. America makes it fun. Remember St Patrick’s Day?
Funny that,I thought a lot of it originated in Scotland........
@@maxcuthbert100 the scots were celts as were the welsh and Irish so its unclear if Halloween originated in Ireland, Scotland or both
@@PhedelCastro if by "make it our own" you mean strip away all its original meaning and turning it into a day of slutty ( insert job title) costumes getting shitfaced drunk and acting like an idiot then yes you certainly do make it your own
Sure it may be more fun but like I said its lost all its original meaning and cultural value
So glad to see him go in on the SJW’s as well as the far right. They’re both awful.
Kyle H what make sjw’s and the far right awful?
Far right and SJW are two sides of the same one coin.
Question is - whose coin is it?
godofthisshit Bill does a pretty good job of describing them both in this video.
Kyle H IMO far right is far worse at least SJWs intent good unlike the far right like white nationalist like in Charleston
@@jjsprite20 both extremes lead to genocides, it's just that one extreme likes to ofuscate
I'm starting to like Bill Maher more and more he's starting to sound like a moderate. Scary LOL
@Don Larson Crazy ideas like spending money on health care, education, and infrastructure rather than endless wars, a wall and creating massive inequality through tax cuts and subsidizing their doners. What answers does the right offer to any of these problems?
I love this man.
I'm not looking forward to a world with out bill Maher
The problem that I have with this mess is the treatment of everything as if it is the same. Imaginary cultural things like the handmaids tale ( originally a syfy novel), is given equal footing with the actual historical practice of white entertainers in black face.
The Halloween notions of goblins, ghosts, witches, movie superheroes,etc. has about as much in common with real life anything as unicorn dust to the treatment for headache. Where has all the laughter gone?
Zero people today wear blackface to insult or demean. If someone decides to wear blackface as a celebration, who are you to say he can't do that due to similarity to some distant past none of us remember or support?
Zero people are harmed by blackface. And zero are even insulted, unless they themselves choose to.
If your sensibilities find it inappropiate, don't do it... but that doesn't mean you shouldn't tolerate others who do not make that connection.
sorsocksfake Who am I to say? Who do have to be?

What really made me laugh with this (other than the well-written Kanye joke) was hearing how his boisterous audience turned nearly silent when he started in on SJW CULTure, and "cultural appropriation." They were going nuts, cheering at every word he was saying, the first half of this clip, because he was speaking against people that were on the right. But the second he started in on the left, a hush fell over that same crowd. Strange how that works. We truly are a tribalistic nation, and it has gotten much worse the last 10 years.
Wot? Were you watching the same video? They cheered plenty of stuff towards the end. They were probably told to keep quiet when Bill read those statistics, though, to not interupt him.
@@FloridatedH2O
Group psychology explains it already. Maher's comments are risky, and everyone in the audience knows whether they themselves like it or hate it.
But they don't know it of the others. And (mind you, this is subconscious), imagine if you're the only one who cheers. Amidst a whole crowd of haters. Maher is safely on stage, but you're surrounded.
So, often people stay silent and wait. If there aren't many boos, someone 'brave' feel safe enough to cheer. Then some others know they're not alone, and cheer. As more cheer, more people feel it's safe and go along.
What can follow then, is that those who actually hate it, hear a lot of cheers and now feel they're in the minority. So the reverse happens: the more cowardly start cheering along. Then more and more, until everybody cheers.
No need to assume "conspiracy" when psychology already predicts it.
PC doesn't equal left. It can also be sth that centrists care about or whoever. And people on the left can disagree with PC culture as well.
Thank you
Sharp and true, as always.
The Kanye and Carlson jokes were great
That pic of tucker always cracks me up. He wears that expression so often. He looks like a dog that just farted and wonders where the stink came from.
Not that it matters, but there are no references to vampires in the Bible.
It was in the evangelical graphic.
Well reality isn't in the bible either. It's a work of terrible fiction.
@@brianh6773 can't be terrible fiction, when it has a strong hold on the unconscious of billions of people.
@@HIMYMTR, Do you not know what fiction means? Just because alot of people believe something doesn't make it true.
I believe Jesus came back, after 3 days, as a vampire... but Van Hell-Judas spiked him... "oh no you don't!!".
Iranian here, we do thist "blackface" Haji Firouz character every year as part of our Newrouz. It`s ok to paint your face black.
In Iran. Anyone wanting to blacken their faces should make a trip abd do it there. In the US and other places with a history of slavery I wouldn't advise doing it.
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!
He's actually got a really good point about moving Halloween lol
we've completely sanitized all of life so that there is no more fun or funny about anything - only offense about everything.
And... Fear and Shame...
This is so spot on!! I've always been liberal, but this PC 💩 has got to go; especially when it comes to comedy !
Christians hate witches,vampires,wizards and ghosts,but their savior can be a zombie!
Nah, he's a lich. Does magic, doesn't die.
Tim Levis That's funny. Those so called Holly Rollers and Republicans will follow anything that is dead.
All Christians or just the crazy ones? You're painting with too broad of a brush.
Anne Rice is a Christian, and she loves vampires and witches.
@monokhem It's surprising that even one person still believes in them.
Right on the money, Bill.
Standing ovation for the last 20 seconds of it.
There has always been political correctness, it just hasn't always been called that, and *which things* are politically incorrect has changed over time.
Sunflower from the movie _Fantasia_ used to be politically correct, and she is NOT now. So much so that a lot of you have no blinking idea who I'm talking about, even if _Fantasia_ is you favorite movie. Look her up here on RUclips.
I had the opportunity to ask an expert on Japanese street fashion if the Japanese themselves are offended by Americans wearing the stuff. Turns out that no, they are not.
As for Elizabeth Warren: Trump owes her a million dollars.

I Dream of AOC as Jeannie.
mad respect bill......
Bill Maher is my spirit animal
Its funny that almost he says is both valid on the left and on the right. It's mostly on the right that he picks on while people on both sides are polarized and hate everyone else who doesn't stand for their views.
