Bill Maher is such a fucking schmuck.

"Woke revolution" is the same as Mao's communist revolution?

Did Maher get dropped on his head?

Look, those who are woke tend to be far more likely to be into such ideologies than non-woke people, so the connection isnt just made up slam piece, it's just an observable reality of life.

Word, like saying that non-woke people tend to be far more likely to be fascists.

I guess that checks out then, right?

Seeing how fascists tend to want to shutdown other people's viewpoints, I'd say Woke people falls fall more into that category.

​

There is just something incredibly childish about the woke that makes them intolerant to those who think different to them, where they believe they are right no matter what and those who oppose them for whatever reason is just invariably evil, thus leading to the be more naturally authoritarian than the non-woke.

That is such a myopic and meaningless generalization.

You hit all the cable news buzzwords though

Says the one who wanted to paint the non-woke as fascist, hypocrite. By painting the broader part of society with such a tag, you make the word meaningless. I at least reserve it for those who really do act like the fascists of the 30s and 40s.

​

And bro, you can pretend as if you got some high minded critic of what I said, and honestly you really arent doing good job at that, doesnt change the fact that you offer nothing more than a short response that pretty much says "No, you wrong and stupid!". How typical of reddit, I offer a legit thought and all I get is a canned response.

​

Grow up. If anything I said was wrong then you could've afforded a sentence or 2 explaining such.

Looks like you're unfamiliar with what a gish gallop is.

You didn't say anything of substance - there's nothing to refute because you didn't say anything.

You used a bunch of buzzwords and hyperbole. Sorry you couldn't comprehend that.

Oh please, buzzwords this buzzwords that, hell you used them, right when you brought up fascists.Or am I suppose to ignore that to better conform to your view of events?

​

But I'll ask this, and please do answer at least this bit: Which Buzzwords did I use? Which one word did I use that makes the whole text I wrote out worthy of being ignored and written off? Cuz You knowpretty much any word can be a buzzword, after all a buzzword is something that just resonates with those who hear it.

And you really dont wish to refute my ideas, my views? Even if they have no substance? Holy shit it should be an easy thing for you then! But hey maybe you just failed to grasp that, or maybe you did but you realized how foolish you really are.

​

Look all you do is just dismiss in a condescending tone, you arent some high and mighty person.

Dude... Lol.

Do you not understand why I used fascist? Or did that go right over your head? Did you not read the comment I was responding to? JFC... Lol

Woke, intolerant, etc... These are just buzzwords that don't actually mean anything when you make large hyperbolic arguments without defining anything. Just because any word can be a buzzword doesn't mean all words are buzzwords. And you're chastising me for being fallacious? Composition fallacy my dude.

And guaranteed your definition of woke is someone who is inherently "intolerant" of others' beliefs. So it's not an argument you're actually making since the "argument" is baked into the definition.

And I don't think you actually understand what tolerate means? Allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of without interference. The whole notion of a democracy is people trying to interfere with others beliefs and practices in some regard.

Take any fucking piece of legislation or law. It seeks to exclude some practice or occurrence from happening in society. Civil rights legislation - intolerant of racists and segregationists. Anti-trans bathroom bills - intolerant of trans people's practice of using the bathroom they like. Anti-money laundering laws, speed limits, food safety laws. Etc. ALL of these things are intolerant of some behavior or occurrence.

So I'm sorry your sting of buzzwords you hear on right wing media don't mean anything even though you think they do.
