New Religion: The Woke think you can change reality by screaming at it. By Bill Maher.
The problem with communism — and with some very recent ideologies here at home — is that they think you can change reality by screaming at it.
A lot of good lines in here:
If you’re part of today’s woke revolution, you need to study the part of revolutions where they spin out of control because the revolutionaries get so drunk on their own purifying elixir, they imagine they can reinvent the very nature of human beings. …
Let’s get this straight. It’s not me who changed — it’s the left, who is now made up of a small contingent who’ve gone mental, and a large contingent who refuse to call them out for it. But I will. That’s why I’m a hero at Fox these days. Which shows just how much liberals have their head up their a–, because if they really thought about it, they would have made me a hero on their media. …
Yesterday I asked ChatGPT: “Are there any similarities between today’s woke revolution and Chairman Mao’s Cultural Revolution of the 1960s?” and it wrote back: “How long do you have?” …
How good intentions can turn into the insane arrogance of thinking your revolution is so fucking awesome, and your generation is so mind-bendingly improved, that you have bequeathed the world with a new kind of human … that human was no longer selfish, in America today that human is no longer born male or female, and obesity is not something that affects health. You can be healthy at any size. Really, we voted on it.
Not all lefties are buying into the woke religion.
