Bill Maher on his Real Time show on Friday night laid waste to the radical activists who believe that wrecking America’s cities and blocking traffic are the way to change hearts and minds about left-wing causes.
“Someone needs to tell the people who block traffic in the name of a cause — no one likes you. And you’re probably hurting your cause,” Maher said.
“You have to be pretty dumb to think the way to bring people around to your point of view is to make them late to pick up their kids from daycare. And that’s what most normies are thinking. I have a kid, I have a job,” he added.

While Maher made a broader point about there being several different forms of injustice in the world, he rightly pointed out how causing more unfairness is not the way to win over people to your side.
“And, yes, I’m sure there are injustices on both sides in the Middle East. As there are injustices all over the world, but I’m going to be late for work. Something you protesters on the bridge seem to have the luxury of not having to worry about, which seems kind of privilegy,” he added. “You can glue your hands to the street because your hands don’t have to do any work today.”
Maher then slammed Gaza-defending protesters who accuse Israel of practicing ‘apartheid’ — he notes that it doesn’t — while instituting the ‘gender apartheid’ of subjugating women to an inferior place in Islamic society.
“Are you really speaking truth to power?” he asked rhetorically.
“Or do you just think you look cool in a keffiyeh? Which is really just the new Che Guevara t-shirt. Another historical figure you never researched and so think is a hero but is actually a sadistic racist monster, fighting for communism, the worst form of government ever.”
It’s about time someone in the media said it!
“But these are small matters,” he went on, “when activism merges with narcissism.”
“Less about the cause and more about me. Look at me, watch me. And if you like the way I’m fighting injustice, remember to like and subscribe!”
