Bill Maher’s anti-PC screeds are my least favorite thing about Bill Maher.

It’s not anti-pc. It’s ringing the bell of reality.
It’s just like today’s modern people(most of us), looking how post modernists are fighting anti modernists, found in both far right and far left manifestations.
You may lean towards one or the other but in the end, extremists are our enemies. And we are their's.

This stuff drives me insane.
Many of the protesters are uninformed or merely want to see things they way they interpret them.
At what point do we stop having to say sorry or be asked to say sorry for what’s been done in the past, what matters is we educate and learn from those awful things and be better and do better and not let them happen again.
Erasing it only puts it out of people’s minds of which nobody learns and were doomed to have it happen again.
Slightly different protest but in many ways the same. The defu nd the police movement. No, you look hard at the police, make them change for the better, raise the criteria for entry, do back ground checks, do character checks and family checks (like the rest of the ruddy world does), don’t throw the baby out with the bath water, you need to educate and train officers properly, weed out the chaf from the wheat.

I think that, if you want to really explore that topic there are many ways to start. For me, reading the Harper’s letter and then some responses to it was a great way to start.
The issue seems to be that people want things that are complicated to be simple, then they want to passionately debate these topics trying to accrue legitimacy through many complicated means. It's never gonna work.

Meh. He’s not pushing some kind of anti-extreme centrism. He just doesn’t like political correctness. I agree on many things with Bill Maher, and I’m far from some kind of PC crusader, but this particular schtick of his has been around since long before the phrase “cancel culture” was a thing. He’s a rich white guy born in the 50s who can’t move past this particular position on this particular topic.
