So, Bill Maher said "only in a nation where adults read comics could Trump be elected" as response to Stan Lee's death.

This summaries my feelings:

Maher hates a lot of harmless stupid poo poo for idiotic reasons. And it seems things not aimed directly at adults being enjoyed by adults are one of his big rage ons. Like he seems legit mad at adults reading YA type books or anything online as its not REAL READING. Also he hates the current superhero movie trend because OMG CHILDISH. Also rages about milk but loves his weed not exactly seeing the hypocrisy there.

I listen to the podcast version of his show and he is seriously an old with many progressive views for his age. His Catholic upbringing clearly hosed him up bigtime and he bought into a lot of the late Boomer era bullshit about what adults are supposed to do as adults not seeing the disconnect with stuff he does that many folks his age would consider bad. Like most people it's clear he has WHAT I LIKE GOOD WHAT YOU LIKE BAD EVEN IF REALLY THE SAME THING.

He is no rightie by any measure outside of hard left loonie circlejerks like SA seems to be turning into. By "normal" US standards he is closer to a leftist boogeyman out to take your guns and let the browns in the nation to have gay anchor babies. (In reality he is a stereotypical liberal elitist more or less. Just one that will actually listen to other viewpoints outside of some of his stupid hang ups. And Trump tried or actually did sue him for mean words. Maher also gave a ton of money to the Obama campaign making him more politically effective than this entire forum more or less. How good that was given why the Orange Idiot is rumored to have run and if we want to count whatever 4chan did as political change through SA is a whole other thing.)

But it's not cool to rag on a dead old guy who helped create tons of stuff people love because you think adults and current culture in general should all be reading deep snooty books and watching oscarbait. Not cool at all.

The problem with this and why I despair at him getting booted unless he's a legit sex predator or dies: he's on HBO now, which doesn't have advertisers, is incredibly hard to pressure in traditional ways, and he actually produces a lot of stuff for them, so as much as Real Time sucks and he himself is a giant embarassment, he also brought them Vice and other things which bring in acclaim and views and letting him sit in a dead zone of Friday nights in exchange for the rest probably means he's safe.

He sounds like a poo poo conservative to me. Like, I know you brought up the Catholic thing to try to be the one point against just thinking he was a conservative, but there are a lot of conservatives that hate Catholics because that's still a thing in America. Now, if you want to bring up the fact he was an atheist, then you might have a bit more of a point but there are still a lot of libertarian shithead conservatives who are atheist. It's pretty much separate from all the poo poo that actually makes conservative bad. What religion is practiced in America does not help the situation, we can all agree that being a shity conservative it's not wholly dependent of your religious beliefs.

I sort of ramble there, but it sounds like Bill Maher is just a loving conservative was what I was trying to say.

New Atheism is entirely made up of neo-reactionaries and was one of the pillars of online toxic thought from which the alt-right emerged. Bill Maher is a perfect example of that kind of dipshit: perfectly willing to criticize organized religion, but then goes on to decide that religion itself is a sign of stupidity and weakness, and therefore any nation or culture more devout than his own is inferior and evil.

Im not spinning it. The dude has some stupid rear end viewpoints just like we all do. (Except he has more money than us because TV show and can blab em on the air. He does get booed sometimes and acts butthurt about it.) I'm not even saying his opinions are legit or that I agree with them. I find a lot of them dumb just like the dude from Loveline and the Man Show. But I listen to the podcast version of the show. And by non current SA standards the dude is still a boogeyman of the Right to the point that insane bomb maker had Maher on his list. (At least he claimed as such.)

Talking poo poo about Stan Lee is still hosed though and I think we can all agree about that. (I know its shocking but we all more or less agree with each other itt.) Jack Kirby and Ditko might have had other opinions of course but we don't and now sadly won't know the full truth. :smith:

Vvvv well yeah the Right is full of dumb people. Its dummies, dupes, and assholes more or less. But SA is VERY hard left compared to the mainstream USA right now. I have had actual people irl call me a liberal like its some slur im supposed to be upset by as opposed to amused by. Also see when I felt i finally arrived on youtube when someone called me a cuck sjw. It gives me the giggles. Whereas some of yall itt think I am probably reading Weekly Standard or something when I really want to smack most Republicans with a large dildo. Its a matter of perspective I think. Vvvvv
