Bill Maher comes out as idiot Capitalist

WHAT?

I'm not saying poor people aren't poor, but they are too used to being rich.

...

Maher is so inconsistent in his beliefs that I think it's pretty obvious at this point that he just says shit to get attention.

He didn't really say anything. He equated socialism with free stuff. That's it. He's a social liberal. What do you expect? He didn't come out as a capitalist, he was always a capitalist.

Maher fell for the Baby Boomer millennial bashing meme

Something you guys might be interested in.

The Green Party of the United States just approved an amendment making them anti-capitalist.

The old language (that got amended) used to read:
"Sustaining our quality of life, economic prosperity, environmental health, and long-term survival demands that we adopt new ways of doing business. We need to remake commerce to encourage diversity and variety, responding to the enormous complexity of global and local conditions. Big business is not about appropriateness and adaptability, but about power and market control. Greens support small business, responsible stakeholder capitalism, and broad and diverse forms of economic cooperation. We argue that economic diversity is more responsive than big business to the needs of diverse human populations."

And has now been changed to:
"The Green Party seeks to build an alternative economic system based on ecology and decentralization of power, an alternative that rejects both the capitalist system that maintains private ownership over almost all production as well as the state-socialist system that assumes control over industries without democratic, local decision making. We believe the old models of capitalism (private ownership of production) and state socialism (state ownership of production) are not ecologically sound, socially just, or democratic and that both contain built-in structures that advance injustices.

Instead we will build an economy based on large-scale green public works, municipalization, and workplace and community democracy. Some call this decentralized system ecological socialism, communalism, or the cooperative commonwealth, but whatever the terminology, we believe it will help end labor exploitation, environmental exploitation, and racial, gender, and wealth inequality and bring about economic and social justice due to the positive effects of democratic decision making.

Production is best for people and planet when democratically owned and operated by those who do the work and those most affected by production decisions. This model of worker and community empowerment will ensure that decisions that greatly affect our lives are made in the interests of our communities, not at the whim of centralized power structures of state administrators or of capitalist CEOs and distant boards of directors. Small, democratically run enterprises, when embedded in and accountable to our communities, will make more ecologically sound decisions in materials sourcing, waste disposal, recycling, reuse, and more. Democratic, diverse ownership of production would decentralize power in the workplace, which would in turn decentralize economic power more broadly."

REMINDER: THIS IS WHAT BABY BOOMERS ACTUALLY BELIEVE

If you think this is a rant against American Exceptionalism, he isn't. Skip ahead to 3:25, that's when the real fun starts. Keep in mind that it's the Cold War United States he's talking about here

Why did it post all that shit?

Ignore the shit in between, it was something I had copied from earlier that must have posted with the link.

Bill has been a liberal since, I don't know, the 90's?

The most radical person he allows on his show is Cornel West.

Why did someone make this shitty thread about some stupid liberal that no one should care about, and more importantly, why is Holla Forums responding to it?

What he said pretty much sums up what murricans think socialism is.

He complains about millennials living at home, having their parents pay for their car insurance (I pay for mine because I have savings from a previous job) and their parents paying for their cell phone plans (I am on prepaid and pay for it and paid for my budget Android smartphone as well. I can't afford an expensive smartphone contract).

Hey how about giving millennials decent paying jobs for a change so that they can afford to move out, pay for their auto insurance and pay for their cell phone? Many of us can't even get a job period.

I love how you made sure to specify that you personally are not one of those millenials

Asshole
