Bill Maher lays it down on Joe Rogan

Yes, I agree that most people on the left are not crazed twitteratzis who go around checking privilege and brow beating people into submission.
Although that crazed minority is making the rules that the majority is expected to follow if they don’t want to lose their job or be harrassed for saying the wrong pronoun or some other SJW faux pas. People are sick of it, but are afraid to call out the crazies.
Even me calling out the crazies gets met ilked at Alt Right, which is exactly what BM is articulating in the quote above.
When called out on their craziness, the Left always says that it is only a fringe element that thinks that way on Twitter/Reddit/Tumblr when in fact the same ideas are either already mainstream or will be in the next couple months.
FFS we have a poster on this same thread who's whole schtick is behaving exactly what these two comedians are talking about acting like these people are a small percentage of faceless tweeters
(The Cambria bit is in reference to Rice who used to be the top water-carrier for this line of thinking before you took it on)
Yeah, we do have a poster, singular article, a poster. You're up to (checks notes) 1. Great haul! Phat tally!!
So the shareholders of major media companies (and many others) don't think a given person's productivity is worth any potential bad PR or lawsuits (that Trump and Covington Boy and Devin Nunes are so fond of) and so those outfits' HR departments protect the shareholders.
Yeah, the shareholders are really getting screwed by Labor here.
The culprit sounds like the free market to me.
Small sample size, there's what, 20 people on this site?
You're smarter than this
They want the government to regulate it.
Just for certain things, not for businesses who refuse service to gays - that's special treatment.
It's called selective socialism.
Remind me why the guy who bragged about being able to work with Segregationists is still the presumptive front runner and Kamala Harris isn't even in the race anymore.
Is it because the majority of the (D) party is PC?
Not sure where you are going with your media comment. I’m talking about society as a whole, not just public figures or the media.
The mentality being discussed is exactly what led to the Covington kids being called racist for doing absolutely nothing wrong. Which many posters here believed as well, so not exactly a tiny minority.
I'm responding to people losing their job. After seeing what happened when a black woman dared to be in a shitty remake of a shitty movie (Ghostbusters) I don't have any sympathy for righties getting harassed.
People lose their job because the job creators shitcan them. Bill Maher used N-word, still has job. Antonio Brown seems to beat up a woman weekly, and since he's an elite receiver with a longer shelf-life than a disposable position like running back (see Ray Rice and others) the vested interests decided he was worth keeping...until the umpteenth time, and now he'll probably have non-zero off-season interest because he's fast and agile.
The non Moogan Moocain panelists on The View aren't Freemasons deciding who gets fired for social media postings. It's people answerable to the board/shareholders.
We have a deranged psycho and a far-right racist POS in the WH, making the actual policy and thousands of far rights militias parading the streets with weapons of war.
But it's the SJW trolls on Twitter who taunt your Alt-right heroes that are a threat to American freedom?
Are you listening to yourselves?
I don't think you are.

Whoopi Goldberg didn't call for Janoris Jenkins to get cut by the Giants.
The Mara family and the GM make these decisions. Nobody asked Colin Kaepernick or the NFL Player's Association.

I’m not talking about people getting fired for dropping N-bombs. I’m talking about everyday people who get harassed for voicing opinions that are unpopular, even when they do so in a way that does not demean groups of people.
Not surprised this went over your head.
The reason why I don’t rail on Trump et al is because they are acting exactly the way I expect them to. Their idiocy is self evident, and enough people are doing that already.
Where BM hit the mark is exactly why I rail on the regressive left. When they act like idiots and turn nothingburgers like Bret Weinstein/Evergreen and Covington into these huge racist events, it makes all of the left look loony in the eyes of moderates and conservatives. They are basically handing Tucker Carlson material on a platter.
