Bill Maher ends his show with a brutal minute-long takedown of Anthony Fauci and the liberal elites who turned him into a self-aggrandizing celebrity.
The last line of the entire thing was pure cinema.
His audience burst out into a massive applause the moment they heard it.
MAHER: “But you have to try awfully hard not to notice how much Fauci is energized by being embraced by one particular cultural tribe.”
“It was Julia Roberts who was telling Fauci he was Jesus with a petri dish. Not Randy Quaid.”
“And that side likes to think of themselves as the purely ‘Science’ people, even though keeping kids out of school that long and traumatizing two-year-olds with masks wasn’t good science.”
“Fauci supported some strange policies for such an esteemed epidemiologist.”
“Natural immunity doesn’t count now? Meaning, even if you’ve had the disease, you still had to get the shot?”
“That sounds more like what Pfizer and Fauci’s celebrity friends wanted to hear.”
“He let this shit go to his head.”
“Turns out the really dangerous ‘intimate contact’ wasn’t shaking hands, it was kissing ass!”
[Laughter and applause]
When noting the media/liberal practice of venerating anyone opposed to Trump as a deity who can't be questioned (Robert Muller, Jack Smith, Tony Fauci, etc.), I forget to include this person: perhaps the most beloved and worshipped of them all:
Did the feminization of elite institutions help fuel the rise of wokeness?
Helen Andrews @herandrews discusses the problem with the feminization of society.
.@HMDatMI: "I refuse to use the term homeless."
"The problem has nothing to do with housing. It has everything to do with mental illness, chemical abuse, and social disaffiliation...
...They are entitled. They are not gentle lambs who are out there braving the elements because they have nowhere to go. To be very blunt, they are obnoxious."

Envy needs an ideology, and socialism has always been happy to provide one. Mises wrote a whole book about this in 1956, The Anti-Capitalistic Mentality, and the diagnosis holds up: people who resent the outcomes of voluntary exchange will always search for a doctrine that transforms their resentment into virtue. The woke left found theirs.
Notice what wokeism and socialism share at the root. Both start from the premise that unequal outcomes prove injustice. You earned more than your neighbor? Exploitation. One group outperforms another in median income? Systemic oppression. Neither doctrine ever asks whether people made different choices, took different risks, or produced different value for others. Asking that question would ruin everything, because the entire project depends on assigning blame rather than understanding prices, profit, and loss.
Once you accept that unequal outcomes equal injustice, you need a corrector. Someone powerful. Someone with the authority to override contracts, seize property, and redistribute according to a moral hierarchy the planners themselves define. That job description has exactly one applicant: the state. This is why the woke activist and the socialist always arrive at the same policy desk, demanding rent control in New York, wealth taxes in Sacramento, hiring quotas in every HR department from Seattle to Brussels.
Marcuse and the Frankfurt School figured out decades ago that the Western worker refused to play his assigned role as revolutionary. He got rich instead. Capitalism handed him a car, a house, and air conditioning, and he stopped listening to men promising utopia through expropriation. The revolutionaries needed a new client base. Class became identity, but the machinery stayed identical: oppressor and oppressed, guilt and grievance, revolution and rule.
The love affair with socialism, then, follows logically. Wokeism supplies the moral demand for coercion; socialism supplies the economic apparatus of coercion. Neither can survive in a world of private property and voluntary exchange, because in that world you rise by serving customers, not by capturing committees. Venezuela ran this experiment from 1999 onward. The grocery shelves reported the results.
Every person living in a western nation needs to listen to every word of this

She PERFECTLY explains the mass indoctrination into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, and of hating White People
I will write only some of this out because it’s very important, however you should listen to it so you can hear the passion:
“The culture shift comes from what children learn at school and online. Ask any young person what history they learned at school, and they’ll tell you, Hitler. Ask them what else? Slavery. Ask them what else? American civil rights.
In fact, what little they know of history will be all about Black and brown people fighting for equality against the white man, women fighting men for the vote, gay and trans people fighting for various rights. Our young people have been taught that history is simply one long story about various groups struggling under the oppressive dead white man.
— History is taught through an oppressor lens. The triangular slave trade, white men held the power. What about Britain ending the slave trade? More than a quick mention, if at all? Mm, no.
What of the Arab slave trade that lasted 3 times as long as the triangular slave trade? Mm, no.
Okay, so GCSE history in Britain is often taught as migration through time, so the idea that Britain has always been a land of immigrants is embedded in our children’s heads. Most schools would prefer to concentrate learning about the tiny number of Black people who existed in Tudor England over a thorough analysis of England’s break from Rome.
— Not to mention weeks on King Mansa Musa of Mali because he was a Black Muslim. His bearing on British institutions, laws, and faith is nonexistent. And the fact that he is said to have been the richest man in history, thanks in part to his massive slave-owning society, is a detail somehow that teachers rarely ever teach.
But it isn’t just our schools. It’s our general culture too. Take your kids to a museum or an art gallery in any Western country, and you’ll find the same narrative.
As an example, when learning about aviation in London’s Science Museum and the extraordinary feat that is man making massive machines move in the sky, a write-up on the wall explains that women and Black people were historically barred from aviation schools and the military. Similarly, James Watt, the man who invented the steam engine and is considered the founder of the Industrial Revolution, has a write-up on the wall explaining that his early career involved slave trafficking, with a bonus analysis of the whole of Britain’s complicity in the slave trade.
They flatten the entire human story and all of its complexities into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, leaving young people unable to see the world in any other terms.”
We have to end the mass indoctrination
