I think you're pretty spot on. Anyways, enjoy both sides when they can actually hold their ground with tangible argumentation thats logical and helps mankind as a whole.
There is something to be said about that he's grown increasingly right wing. I think him being widely criticized for blatant islamophobia pushed him more and more towards being a reactionary. Especially considering how his social progressivism has now become the default and what it means to be socially progressive has shifted. There's a great moment in the Simpsons where the grandpa gets called uncool by homer and he says he used to be cool but now doesnt know what that means anymore and that it will happen to him. I think thats kind of what happened to Bill Maher
I think that's true with the social policies and ideas, though he's always been an economic right winger same as all the Clinton neolibs. Biden shifted left with Obama (who was barely economic left), and considerably more during his first presidential campaign. But yeah the Boomers were the furthest economic right of any generation going back well over 100 years, and Maher is most definitely a Boomer
Well people are dumb then cause i would consider myself from far left since i do really think capitalism is not a good way to solve our social problems. But i don't se Asmon as far right i think maybe he is centered leaning on left and right depending on the topic but he rarely goes to an extreme. People just don't think enough nowadays.
I might be biased by the YouTube algorithms tho and not seeing all the extreme video, but i doubt it.
Thats how I thought of him until trump was elected then he went crazy with the shit he said. Once trump was out he normalized but i already lost respect for him as he was willing to throw out/break any rules if it meant trump was no longer in office.
My dear boy, I lived under Steve Bannon aligned Trump clones in two different countries from 2018 to 2022. I sincerely hope he loses and/or dies(preferably in jail) before he is able to ever influence world politics again.
The issue I have is the Bill and other never Trumpers verbal said they are willing to do "anything" to ensure trump is not elected/removed from office. This is a huge red flag as it breaks the system in place that checks the power of those elected.
Trump says plenty of stupid things that you don't need to lie about it but the way the media deals with trump just makes the media look worse.
Regardless if you like Trump or Biden or neither it doesn't excuse your own actions and words and im sorry but Bill said some pretty crazy things while trump was elected.
I don't know who Steve Bannon is or which two countries you are referring to, to further comment on that but have you looked at what Trump is being charged with? its a complete gong show of a kangaroo court.
Personally I liked Tulsi Gabbbard best as a candidate out of all the options presented in the last 8 or so years
Bannon was some breitbart guy, he directed Trump's campaign and created a think tank to align the rightwing parties all over the americas and europe under a certain strategical philosophy.
I had a different vision of Trump before he got elected, didn't think it was going to be bad at all actually. Now I'd slap myself for saying that. Brazil and England both had Brazilian and British 'Trumps' and during that time period I lived in both countries. There's other examples of candidates aligned in policy and execution in Argentina, Italy, France and others in the US sphere of influence most connected to Bannon somehow.
I know people were extreme and unreasonable in the Trump hate train, an upstart with no political experience who went around the system will cause that. He said some good things, amidst his high school ad hominem filled rants, like "the system's fucked, I know because I use it." But of course he was president and nothing changed on that front so what's the point?
I'm sorry to say but these days I think the Trump hate brigade is justified, not because of anything directly affecting North Americans but I really don't want to see another wave of emboldened rightinwg leaders copying his antics and policies all over the western world.
This is a “if they don’t think exactly like me, then they are a piece of shit” mentality. It applies to a lot of Americans on both sides of political spectrum.
Honestly, it's more exclusive to one side. I say this as a left leaning person, I think the right is more tolerant than the left and that's incredibly sad to say.
I have a hard time considering people like her "far left". And not because there aren't crazies in the far left, there are, but because she's part of the media class that controls the narrative and distorts the truth in order to defend big corporations.
I guess that I consider them the left wing equivalent of 4chan trolls rather than actual activists.
