Bill Maher Bashes the Woke and Libs Freak

[Townhall] Comedian and HBO host Bill Maher is at it again, tossing truth bombs on his Friday night "Real Time" segments and ticking off the woke left in the process. This time, however, the intensity seems to have ticked up a notch, with lefties all over Twitter demanding that Maher himself be canceled for his latest mockery of cancel culture.

Here's the offending segment, which primarily dealt with what Maher called the "woke Olympics." Just try to keep yourself from literally shaking while watching it.
Seven-minute video at link.

"Why do we allow the people who just want to bitch to always win?" he asked before citing more examples, including a musical director who was fired after a 1994 interview surfaced in which he admitted to bullying his classmates as a kid. "This is called a purge. It’s a mentality that belongs in Stalin’s Russia. How bad does this atmosphere we’re living in have to get before the people who say cancel culture is overblown admit that it is in fact an insanity that is swallowing up the world?"

"And that is not a conservative position, my friends," he said later in the segment. "My politics have not changed, but I am reacting to politics that have, and this is yet another example of how the woke invert the very thing that used to make liberals liberals. Snitches and bitches, that's not being liberal."
Boring liberal complainers - bitches and snitches - at the link.
[Piers Morgan tweets] Best 7 minutes of television this year. Thank you, Mr Maher, for being an ongoing voice of liberal reason in this increasingly insane illiberal woke world.

#2 I had this discussion with a friend the other day. I suspect there are people of whatever proclivity (and I'm sure that label will offend someone) who are too busy being happy to give a care about the culture wars. OTOH, there are people who are chronic complainers or perpetually angry. How many of those do you think took up a woke-approved lifestyle label because they saw it as a license to indulge their non-stop unhappiness with everything except themselves?

#3 Commissar Maher feels his power over his people is slipping away, hence the diatribes.
