Athena Promachos

This is Bill Maher at his best. Maher dragged Patton Oswalt out of his bubble and forced him to confront the brutal reality of the UK’s immigration crisis. He exposed the horrifying details of Muslim grooming gangs, while Oswalt tried to play dumb. Maher didn’t let him. MAHER: “What’s going on in England right is a lot of that.” OSWALT: “What’s going on in England?” MAHER: “Again, not in the bubble…a lot of violence, protests, immigration.” “Andrew Sullivan, for example, says places that my grandfather would not even recognize anymore as British.” “Like, immigration is great, anything can be too much. It’s become ‘Islamicized’ to put it briefly.” Oswalt tried to hand-wave it away. OSWALT: “Anything can be too much, but a lot of times the way that things are framed and represented, is also amplified so that they can make their point.” Maher hit him with the bombshell. MAHER: “But do you know about…the grooming scandal?” OSWALT: “No.” MAHER: “See, that’s a big story!” He then laid out the details the left refuses to confront: “I’m talking about Pakistani men, who were immigrants, who were grooming poor, impoverished White girls, mostly, and making them into prostitutes and sex slaves.” “Like really nasty shit, that would pass for more normal in a traditional Pakistani society, where women are not considered equal citizens.” Maher then delivered his most devastating point: “And if you don’t understand that, and that gender apartheid is the number one issue that you woke people should be concerned with, but seem not to be, then right away we’re not really seeing the world as the same way.” “I’m seeing it much more clearly.” “Gender apartheid should be your NUMBER ONE issue, if you really care about oppression, like a lot…I’m talking about hundreds of millions of the world’s women.” “And it’s mostly because of the tenets of Islam, to be perfectly honest about it.” “In the interest of DEI, they are allowing practices that are so illiberal—which is the great irony—this is the LEAST liberal thing you could be is treating women as a second-class citizen and getting away with shit like this.”
