I’ve got a few problems with this article but honestly the thing that bothers me the most is saying Bill Maher is a moderate liberal commentator. He’s a conservative libertarian asshole and always has been. He’s never been moderate, he’s never been a liberal.

Alex Jones also calls Maher a liberal, using him to represent the entire non Republican political sphere. Maher is not a moderate and I don’t like seeing someone who is from the left calling him that.

While the schadenfreude is real, I agree with this point:

With such mixed signals about whether downturns help or hurt our cause, perhaps we should leave recession-mongering to Democrats and focus instead on building worker power under any economic conditions.

They applaud his genius while america burns around them.

Goodness, if only there was some form of action we could’ve taken which would’ve led to some other result than a diaper-shitting manchild playing Red Light, Green Light with the world economy.
