I haven't paid attention to Maher in years, so I am just now realizing that Paul Rust's "new no-nos" bit is all about making GBS threads on him.

New No-No! If Bill Maher is going to say the n-word, well guess what? I'm going to NOT say the n-word.

Holy poo poo this guy just lost all connection with reality as soon as he heard Amber chime in. Dude breaks into prayer when confronted with a woman who says she had an abortion.

Also, Matt shouting "Butt sex!"

Edit:

Matt Walther: 'That is.. that is satanic and not funny'
Amber: 'Hail satan'
Will: 'Actually its hilarious'
Matt C: 'It's very funny'

Heard this for the first time and goddamnit I couldn't stop laughing when this rando just brings up punching a baby in the face to compare it to anal lmaooooo

You have to remember, the 90s were a different time. Many Americans weren't ready to accept a black man as a bestselling children's book author, so under commercial pressure, the publisher chose to use a photo of a white man in the books' about the author page.

They got in a Twitter fight with some tradcaths -- instigated not over politics, but by making fun of some dork who got stuck in an elevator -- and wound up inviting one of them on the show for an argument like the Robby Sauve episode. Then they did the interview and it was so bad they refused to release it as an episode so they just dumped it on YouTube and played a short highlight clip on the regular show set to Yakkety Sax.

R. L. Stephens was at one time head writer of the hit children's show "Eureka's Castle". The character Batley was based on his son who would routinely gently caress up doing something and exclaim, "I meant to do that!"

The critiques of Coates are valid and Coates is good. His ideological pessimism is understandable and probably justified.

Lol if you think anything matters.

The interview reminded me a great deal of a point made many episodes back, in the review of Crash and again in that discussion of that conservative book about poor rural whites--liberals tend to want to see bigotry as this spiritual disease that can only be fought by curing each person afflicted with it, but that's tantamount to admitting defeat.

Which, now that I think about it, reminds me of Orwell's critique of John Galsworthy.

quote:

We all rail against class-distinctions, but very few people seriously want to abolish them. Here you come upon the important fact that every revolutionary opinion draws part of its strength from a secret conviction that nothing can be changed.

If you want a good illustration of this, it is worth studying the novels and plays of John Galsworthy, keeping one eye on their chronology. Galsworthy is a very fine specimen of the thin-skinned, tear-in-the-eye, pre-war humanitarian. He starts out with a morbid pity-complex which extends even to thinking that every married woman is an angel chained to a satyr. He is in a perpetual quiver of indignation over the sufferings of overworked clerks, of under-paid farm hands, of fallen women, of criminals, of prostitutes, of animals. The world, as he sees it in his earlier books...is divided into oppressors and oppressed, with the oppressors sitting on top like some monstrous stone idol which all the dynamite in the world cannot overthrow. But is it so certain that he really wants it overthrown? On the contrary, in his fight against an immovable tyranny he is upheld by the consciousness that it is immovable. When things happen unexpectedly and the world-order which he has known begins to crumble, he feels somewhat differently about it. So, having set out to be the champion of the underdog against tyranny and injustice, he ends by advocating...that the English working class, to cure their economic ills, shall be deported to the colonies like batches of cattle. If he had lived ten years longer he would quite probably have arrived at some genteel version of Fascism. This is the inevitable fate of the sentimentalist. All his opinions change into their opposites at the first brush of reality.

He's saying that essentially most of the legal battles possible against racism have already been won, and that to push forward you would need organization that transforms the framework upon which the legal system rests.

I have a pet theory that trans rights is such a hot button issue not only because of how fundamental gender is to how so many groups of people across the political spectrum see the world, but because transpeople's struggles illustrate the limitations of the civil rights legislation that we already have. It's not enough to re-fight and re-litigate the same battles to get the same protection granted to other groups. It reveals a lot of uncomfortable truths about how little protection workers really have.
