Bill Maher criticized Hollywood's superficial gestures honoring Native American tribes during the Oscars, arguing that the wealthy should either return ancestral land or refrain from hollow acknowledgments. On his show, he highlighted a statement by actress Julianne Hough that recognized Native peoples and questioned the sincerity of progressive sentiments. Maher argued against romanticizing ancient cultures, claiming that today's morality shouldn't equate to historical guilt, and he highlighted the contrast between progressive ideals and the realities of affluent living in Los Angeles.
"Either give the land back or shut the fuck up." Maher emphasized the contradiction between acknowledging indigenous struggles while enjoying the privileges of prime real estate.
"I understand the desire to right the wrongs of the past, but it becomes problematic when people benefit from moral posturing without real action." Maher critiques progressives who romanticize indigenous cultures.
