If you still laugh at "Britney shaves her hair" jokes, you are truly a heartless person, which people usually call me, but even I do not laugh at these kind of heartless jokes.
In this episode, Bill (Willhelm) Maher, who has been adamant/blabbering about "people on twitter are not real voters" joins the band vagon on young people on social media are stupid and ignorant.
And he argues "why spend money on their education?!" Maybe and maybe because they are ignorant if you really think so? That is what education is.
Moreover, much moreover, he borrows Jordan Peterson's incel idea and implies that women should date not the men that they like but the men without a collage degree. He does not say that directly because he is a coward as it is obvious to everyone, but implies it "subtly". Talk about dog-whistling, right?
In the "new rules" segment, he reaches such a new level of lack of self-awareness that he claims that gen-z want to make a living online just talking and promoting products because they say "I am me and people pay to watch me". This is particularly so funny because that is what Bill does from week to week for the last 30 years.
And he adds asking "their fall-back career is marijuana taster?" The lack of self-awareness!!!
I, myself, do not like "influencers" on social media, and that is why I do not watch them. Isn't it what he has been saying for all these years? He has been saying "If you don't like it change the channel".
Yes, if Bill does not want to see those influencers, he should just unsubscribe.
That is it!
By the way, if I want to learn more about a particular topic, say, history of LaserDisc, but if I do not have the samples and/or the hardware to do that, of course, I am going to watch that technology connections bloke on YouTube. I do not want to wait for an executive of a billion-dollar network to decide to do a documentary on the topic.
How is it too difficult to understand for a person whose first career was (as again he mentioned in this episode) selling drugs?!
