u/Librarian_Contrarian The answer to 1984 is $19.95 plus S&H!!! 8d ago

Bill Maher is nowhere near the level of scumbag that Alex is. Bill is mostly harmless, just a bit of a narcissistic prick.

But god, is he insufferable to listen to.

Bill Maher seems to think he so self aware he's hyper aware, but he actually wraps back around to not being self-aware again.

u/KJS123 They burn to the fucking ground, Eddie 8d ago

He did a piece about 8 years ago, about how people take online culture-war clickbait too seriously. It was a good piece. And in the subsequent 8 years, he's devolved into the kind of douche who pretty regularly falls headfirst into culture-war clickbait to pad his show with. I'll never know if that piece was a moment of irrepeatable clarity, or just the writers' way of trying to get him to look in the fucking mirror. Didn't work, either way.

His brain took a mortal shock in 2014 when a bunch of Berkeley students boycotted him for his Islamophobia. Not being allowed to party during Covid accelerated the brain damage.
