New Rule: A Woke Revolution | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)

Watched it. He seemed a little clueless when claiming that a Joe Blow on tinder can just summon up "an electronic harem". Even the word, electronic, sounds a little antique.

Bill Maher is a comedian/commentator who for decades has built a reputation of intentionally saying outrageous things to create controversy (enough that the network canceled his Politically Incorrect show). His positions are known to shift with (against?) the every changing cultural tides. Whatever gets viewers!

 

Specifically to all things “woke” I have to ignore it because I can’t find 2 people who can give me the same definition of what it means! Especially if the 2 people are on opposite ends of the political spectrum. So all the arguments are even about the same thing.

 

 The most accurate definition of “woke” that I have been able to determine is “something that I disagree with”. Works for both the left and right, but obviously meaningless. 

I've never liked Maher.

 

As for "woke", it doesn't mean now what it did when Obama used it, but it's an excellent way of mocking the lefty luvvies, without having to use more than one word.
