Is Bill Maher bipolar?
Not bipolar. Certainly narcissist. Maybe some borderline personality disorder overcompensating in the mix, too.
I think he’s just a narcissistic attention hound who realized what Trump did: once you get popular enough, it doesn’t matter what comes out of your mouth, because as long as you keep creating content, popularity is a sort of omni-fuel machine.
Rambling, nonsensical drivel? Fuel! Bipolar, contradictory viewpoints? Fuel!
I should say, accusing Maher of bipolarism is an insult to people who suffer from bipolarism.
The people who look at Trump and say “brave” are the same people who look at Maher and say “Smart”.
I’m a leftie and literally could not care less about Bill Maher. Yes, Trump-worshipping is dumb. Yes, Maher is an annoying self-important windbag. I can keep both of these thoughts in my head at the same time.
What is a “leftie”.
I don’t mean to call you out, but I’m very tired of " I’m on the left, I’m a progressive, I’m a left liberal".
Be brave enough to call yourself a communist/anarchist/socialist or just call yourself a Democrat.
Progressive here.
Not an anarchist/communist/socialist.
I don’t call myself a democrat because my political alignment is based on values that are distinct from the democratic party we know.
I vote for democrats because achieving progress would be impossible in a fascist state.
Are you still a capitalist?
Ultimately, long-term, I’d like to see us evolve to a non-capitalist society, but that would be a long and gradual process. I doubt it will happen in my lifetime.
It needs to happen fast given pollution is directly tied to gdp growth. If it doesn’t happen soon there won’t be any human lifetimes for it to happen in.
Strange hill to die on.
Those are all very different things, hence why we have different words for the different concepts.
What’s a progressive versus a leftie versus a left liberal?
