Bill Maher on cancel culture

[brett05]

two issues can coexist. Trump and conservatives can not agree with kaep and his antics. The 49ers owner can be fine with it. The only person who has the power to cancel kaep would be the 49ers owner and i suppose the other 31 owners for not signing him to a deal. But why would an nfl team not put winning above the desires of others? Makes no sense. If this is what happened, if kaep was canceled, that is wrong. I don’t believe he was canceled. I believe like many nfl players it was a combination of overvaluing his worth and abilities combined with his ability to be paid more money as an sjw. That seems more plausible to me.

I’m bringing up lebron to show i can disagree with someone politically and still value them for their craft. Lebron has probably even done/said more than kaep in the political spectrum. I almost always disagree with his politics. But it’s exclusive from his ability to dominate on a basketball floor. That’s the difference between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives disagree with policies or someone’s politics. Liberals think conservatives are bad people.

If it its your narrative than it's all good. That's what this says. Sorry I can't go there and when I do go there on an issue I am wrong just like you are now on this one.

It's "then".

You can't prove your side. I can't prove mine but the overwhelming evidence suggests that Kaepernick was cancelled from the league and I'm wrong? Okay, buddy. Sure.

Are you saying you see asking for racial equality is on par with white supremacy?

Cuz that would explain a lot..

I’m saying someone’s politics are irrelevant. I used the confederate flag as an example of something that can be more of a distraction in the workplace.

I could care less what Kaeps politics are. Honestly, I could care less about anyone’s politics.

Perhaps there’s a difference between sitting in a cage and getting a coke and being cooked though?

Ya think? Still doesn't mean that the meme made any reference to Trump or his supporters as you falsely claimed. It also doesn't mean that his sentiment that maybe we shouldn't be keeping children in cages in modern day America is incorrect.

Also, it appears Carano wasn’t the only multiple tweet offender...

Pascale posted a meme comparing trump supporters with Nazis and confederates abs referring to all of them as losers. So why does he still have a job?

I am not aware of what you are referencing here. If it means so much to your weak *** argument, maybe you should actually provide a citation. I know Carano was making light of transgender people, talking **** about wearing masks, and telling her followers that being a Trump supporter is somehow akin to being a Jewish person in Nazi Germany (amongst other things that drew Disney's ire).

Bolded: I believe you are grasping at whatever tenuous straw you can to justify your hypocrisy. That seems most plausible.

And no, that is not the difference between conservatives and liberals. Conservatives believe Liberals are bad people who literally want to destroy America. There is a vein on both sides that thinks the other is evil. That you don’t believe your side is bad or guilty is further proof of your partisanship.

I wonder how you’d feel if a conservative player started kneeling to protest socialism. My guess is you’d have the exact opposite reaction that you did for Kaepernick.

I’ve said this before but regardless of the persons politics, using a field or court as the platform for your message is wrong.

If Curt Schilling was going to use his HOF induction speech to rant about how Trump had the election stolen from him, he’d be wrong to do so. Wouldn’t you agree?

I’m sure your Google machine works too. Feel free to use it instead of quoting MSNBC ....

Way to completely over simplify things in another attempt to paint yourself and your ilk as victims.

That would be for the HOF to decide. You are a SJW

You're the one that made the claim, binky boi. It's not my job to go and confirm it for you. I was aware of the Pascal meme you initially mentioned and knew you were lying about that, hence why I posted the actual meme to show everyone that you were definitively full of ****.

As for that final brainless sentence of your post I quoted here, I don't watch MSNBC and certainly haven't quoted them. Keep desperately searching for some right wing talking point that will stick though; I believe in you.

But you clearly do.

You clearly oppose kaps situation because of the politics. This conversation is making it very obvious as you seem to have some sort of issue with labeling it cancel culture, which it clearly is. This makes it seem like it is the politics that you are interested in. I dont see any other reason you would care to argue against it being cancel culture.

You dont even realize it but everytime you describe cancel culture, you are spot on describing the kap situation. And vice versa.

Believing one has the right to protest while also believing the platform is important and there’s a time and place for everything doesn’t make me an SJW.

I disagree with Kaep on his politics. This has absolutely nothing to do with me believing he was wrong in his antics.

No but your response to the kapernick situation does.

Sure, word it however you want. Disagreeing with his antics doesnt make it any more or less cancel.culture.

Or does it?

You actually didn't say that about Tebow, you said the exact opposite. Do you think Tebow pushing his views and kneeling on the field was as wrong as Kaepernick since you don't care about the politics behind it?
