Cults are smaller and fringe. This shit is sYsTeMiC in education.
Bill Maher is a pseudo-intellectual whose claim to fame is boning Playboy leftovers after Hugh Hefner got done. Bill was all over the sloppy 2nds, 3rds, 4ths available in the grotto at the Playboy Mansion. I've never understood what people see in him.
a.) "Sloppy seconds" is a thing douchebags say.
b.) His claim to fame is being a successful comedian who's been in movies and on TV since the 80's.
c.) You'd give anything to bone chicks that didn't get in Playboy and would never even be invited to the grotto.
I swear, "pseudo-intellectual" must have one of the highest misuse rates of any frequently uttered phrase I notice.
Well, the guy who used it claims to be a scientist and a law-talkin-guy and violated HIPPA regarding a Johnson County teenager who died. He's not exactly bright.

I got a spot open on this equity canoe. Ride with me.
I'm not really sure that has anything to do with my comments. "Conservative" and "Liberal" are both relative things.
Being alive and being dead aren't quite as relative. And, being alive isn't conservative or liberal, and being dead really isn't conservative or liberal. The ways in which we conduct ourselves while we are "alive" can be construed as conservative or liberal. And, ways in which these bodies cease to function (achieve dead-ness) can be construed as conservative or liberal. But, I firmly believe that these contrasts are exploited by people who stand to lose or gain a great deal on the outcomes, or just keeping-up the appearance of a contrast! And, which in-turn, distorts their importance or lack-of-importance to people who, otherwise, don't give the matters much thought, or, probably, have a more universal understanding of them until the exploitation creates a more nuanced perception.
What your cartoon represents, to me, is human tribalism and its detrimental ramifications! I've seen liberals and conservatives cling to tribalism equally, and with impunity.
I think what the cartoon represents is one “tribe” counts among its numbers the KKK, the proud boys, neo-nazis, and the people who called the cops that they didn’t end up killing the n bomb on 1/6. The other includes people who maybe go a little too far in making life easier for black and trans people. And some people wear it as a badge of honor that they can see “both sides” or can’t tell the difference between the two.
“I want my child to be accommodated if they decide they’re trans” isn’t as insane or dangerous as storming the Capitol and bringing an AR to chipotle just because you can. There’s not an equivalence.
The "difference between the two" is relative to who you are, and your individual experience. No two people have identical circumstances. They can have similar, but never identical. And, this assumption that one "side" is consciously, purposely maligning other people and deriving pleasure from it, is an example of how far the belief of "Us vs. Them" can go... ON BOTH SIDES!
I get it. You've chosen to believe that you are ALWAYS something... all the time, and it's always right. And, you've established a whole system of thought and perception to justify that belief. There's as much information-- and even behavior and "data" behind it-- out there to counter your beliefs and claim the opposite is true. You refuse to acknowledge it, but I promise you that "the other side" has the same opinion about you that you have about them. It's an illusion!
"My side is not as bad as their side." That's the motto of everyone who believes that there actually are SIDES.
My favorite part of your post was: "The other includes people who maybe go a little too far..." I love how that implies very little, if any, long-term negative results. That's what I love about these "sides." They never admit the degree of their own shortcomings! They can't! If they did, they'd realize that one is just as right/wrong as the other and then they'd be forced to reconcile that. It's like when a religious person realizes that "God" isn't a HE! It's a very difficult reality. It's almost like realizing that you have betrayed yourself.
A great deal of liberal/progressive ideology in today's culture is devoted to convincing people that it's much more promising to live life as a victim. Not just to accept that you're a victim, but to WANT TO BE a victim! The long-term damage from that is immeasurable.
I'm not proclaiming any superiority. I'm simply trying to explain what I am observing. If you enjoy playing the game, play it. But, don't get so upset when someone reminds you that you ARE playing a game!
Yeah, playing the middle in and of itself isn't virtuous.

Drew Magary on the enduring presence of 'Real Time,' a vestige of a different decade.
No, I'm not. I've been completely sober since 1988.
Enjoy your game. And, by the way, I have fervent opinions about the things that I experience, observe and share. But, I try to have some humility in knowing that I'm not always right, I don't have it all figured out, and I have no interest in aligning myself with this illusion of sides. I can be for or against something without being part of some social-political club that really only succeeds in dumbing-down its members.
Are you jealous of him? You're definitely coming-off that way. He's Ivy-League educated, he's been famous for most of his adult life, he's shown SOME humility over his career. He's never claimed to be perfect, but he's articulate and he welcomes all comers to his platform.Bill Maher: Do We Need Him?

That lame-ass attempt to bash him for fvcking Hefner's leftovers was... really lame. You'd jump at the chance to bang Maher's leftovers. He's a smug celebrity, but he provides some entertainment and occasionally hits the bullseye. He doesn't always flatter "The Left." I'm thankful for that. He realizes that "The Left" is prone to smugness that knows no equal.
I'm not playing in the middle. It's impossible to be in the middle of something that doesn't exist.
That cartoon is NOT REALITY. It doesn't even accomplish satire, or even parodying reality. It does persist in the idea that the extremes are also the norm. They're not... at least, not yet.
No. I just think he's from a different era. The world has moved on. It ain't the 80's still.
I saw him this past year in DSM. He won me over that night. He really just kind of calls a spade a spade abs doesn’t pay too much attention to @D” or “R” after ones name. He is really disappointed with Dems and really cannot figure out what today’s Repubbers are up to.
Keller ISD....ah yes..little brother to the west....a fine district with no issues...i have more stories if this is not suffice
Good ol KHS
We've heard about the BS Liberal indoctrination for years. If that means more diversity, sign me up. The Republicans who aren't complete garbage agree with the Dems. Thanks for classifying as a piece of garbage.
Not without permission.
And who, outside of Minnesota, would give that twonk permission?
We’re Timber Creek...I have my share as well...Keller ISD....ah yes..little brother to the west....a fine district with no issues...i have more stories if this is not suffice
Interesting coming from the the Catholic/former evangelical preachy "both sides" guy from a year ago who now ridicules MAGAts and is calling himself agnostic. You're seriously all over the place, dude
