The premise is not wrong, but it's wildly misused, and inherently strawmans the point of view of actual victims. It's not a matter of people disagreeing with it. Sometimes, if not all the time, language is used to conceal the truth and divide people. That's all it really is. Spreading information and spewing rhetoric that can be damaging to people is hate speech. Saying facts about biology isn't. It's difficult to draw the line, and anyone who says it isn't difficult doesn't know what they're talking about. Idea: if what you're explaining sounds so simple, it's probably wrong. The world, and especially objective logic, is a lot more complicated than "common sense, bruh," because much of the time, people like Maher commit many informal fallacies to support their premises, many of which are also false.

Or maybe I guess he‘s actually a hardcore christian, because everytime he says “goodbye“, what he actually means is the word’s original and therefore one true meaning “god be with ye“. See how ridiculous this dumb take is? Seriously how nonreflective and egocentric do you have to be to actually be convinced that whatever meaning words happened to have had when *you* were young are somehow the one and only, god given correct meanings and what people were doing 50 years prior and 50 years later is just wrong?

Read it to recognize the signs. Make direct reference to draw parallels when real-life wheels are in motion on the wrong path. Use it to demonstrate the only place that path can end. Days before his passing he issued a press statement that 1984 is a warning, not a prophecy. "The way to avoid this nightmare scenario is simple: Don't let it happen. It's up to you."

“Orwell never ends well.” Great quote to end on.

I think Maher is just smart enough to look around and see where the majority sides on and he knows that to keep his cushy job he better play ball. It does seem convincing when he blasts the liberal agenda, well some of it, the extreme left, but he knows which side his bread is buttered on. Jon Stewart on the other hand really comes across as he DGAF. Maher still has his “hate Trump” energizer pill he takes everyday and could never admit president Trump actually made a lot of great changes and hidin Biden has cancelled all he could of them. Let’s go Brandon!!

Because he talks about issues he cares about. These "sides" are not nuanced enough to represent so many individuals, so of course there will be variation since you will just fall on the side that on average represents you more. To criticize one's side is to want them to be (your idea of) better. This issue happens to not just affect one side, but he chose to focus on one side for that reason.

"I don't fear commitment, I just don't want it." That has been my manifesto since I was 18 (I'm in my 60s now). I never wanted a partner, kids, any of that. I wasn't afraid of commitment, I just saw no value in it and never met anyone I would even remotely consider spending the rest of my life with. To quote my grandfather, "I'd rather go through life wanting something I didn't have instead of having something I didn't want." Me too. Eagles mate for life -- humans don't. It's unnatural. Owning a dog was the best and only commitment I was ever willing to give, and I gave 110% . And it was more fulfilling than anything else in my life, and I've had a wonderful life!
