HBO host Bill Maher compared “woke” mobs on Twitter to the Red Guard of the 1966 Cultural Revolution in China Friday.
 
“I asked ChatGPT, ‘Are there any similarities between today’s woke revolution and Chairman Mao’s cultural revolution of the 1960s?’” Maher said. “And it wrote back, ‘How long do you have?’”

“We do have our own Red Guard here, but they do their rampaging on Twitter,” Maher added, while discussing the departure of Winston Marshall from Mumford and Sons over a tweet that praised a book by independent journalist Andy Ngo and the investigation and punishment of law professor Jason Kilborn for alluding to two racial slurs in a question on an exam.

Maher also compared forced reeducation in Mao’s China to “freshman orientation” at American universities.

Well, he's right. That's what that mob is modeled after, with visceral reactions to keywords and 'trigger' phrases that obliterate any attempt at discussion of issues beyond the false dichotomy of good/bad, as if everyone is completely either.
