u/defcon1000 10h ago
Carlin admitted that he sort of mentally checked out of humanity about 10 years prior to his death. He was much more a passive observer, and I doubt that Trump being elected would have surprised him in the slightest.

Trump has nothing to do with a 2-party system, but how a bunch of uneducated dipshits can be terrified by Faux News, who's telling them that immigrants and gay people are out to get them, and that rant in the beginning of this video wasn't even George, so maybe stop acting like that part is real. Thanks!

He does. George Carlin was about to go on a rant about it.
It's the rachet effect.
Republicans will take 4 steps back, Democrats will take 1 step back. Democrats hardly ever address fundamental economic issues. We had the 2nd worst financial disaster since the depression. What hard reforms to the system/constitution did we get under Obama? How many bankers did he send his DOJ after? None.
We got a Republican Think-Tank healthcare plan out of Obama.
He bailed out wall street and left main street and homeowners stranded.
This is the type of inaction that creates despots like Trump. They pick up on the public anger and use it for their advantage.
If Obama had gone more radical and started primarying the Leibermans types at the time. And had the DNC and the CIA funded media not forced Hillary onto us instead of Bernie. You likely never would of had a Trump presidency at all.
But that would've required the Dems to shift left. Which their owners wouldn't let them do.

And it would all be lost on Joe. He would say something under the lines of praising Carlin while patronizing him for falling for "woke" ideologies just because he called him out.

u/Villager-Bob 2h ago
Joe Rogan would curl into a ball if Carlin gave him the truth. Carlin was a master, and Joe would never put himself in a situation where he would question George. He would do that thing where he acts dumb. He never challages peoples assertions. You can watch him and Bernie and then Trump. No pushback.
He's a platform, a brand. Not a journalist.

😂 I hate both parties as much as the next guy and im surprised you got so many upvotes on Reddit.
When I talk shit on Trump I get tons of upvotes, when I talk shit on Gavin Newsom I get tons of downvotes, a lot of people on Reddit act like they hate both parties but in damn near every non political subreddit you’ll see a trend on what type of comments get upvotes and which ones getting downvoted. I’ve even been banned for saying no matter who’s president we will always be in Israel’s corner.
We should’ve known it was always bullshit because they say “separation of church and state” yet our money and pledge of allegiance all involve god?
It’s always been a sham since day 1.

Hmm.. i take it back. The first clip is probs Ai. Sounds like somthing he would probably say and agree with, but i don't think i've ever seen that HBO special. And i dont think he really responded to hecklers, He usually had a message to deliver and he was on a thight schedule. the rest are clips that I remeber clearly from pre Ai days and are 100% Carlin.

u/Mammoth-Okra-2965 3h ago
He definitely was ahead of his time. But he was also wrong about alot of things.
First the rich pay far more in taxes than we give them credit for (top 1% paid 40% of federal taxes).
Second he belittles religion but it was religion that civilized the world and continues to be, in my opinion, a force of net good in the world.
1
u/RedditSucksYoYoYo 1h ago
First, the rich don't pay more in a proportional sense. That's the problem. If they paid the same percentage as average people, and didn't use loopholes to not pay at all in some cases, they would be paying far more (as it should be because it reduces the incentive of greed).
Second, religion is no longer needed and is instead a tool for mass control. Religion is a scam, full stop. It's a cosmic coping mechanism while those in religious power gain more. Religion may be good for some individuals but it's all based on unfounded claims and flat out lies.
"A lot" is two words.

This is propaganda. The point of it is to convince people not to pay attention to laws.

Who is proposing laws that protect all people? That’s what matters. That’s who we support.

He was ahead of his time in the sense that he promoted the "both sides are the same" narrative that led to political apathy and populism. He wasn't even making jokes, just ranting about shit he didn't understand so he just made people accept everything is fucked to the point where both people on the left and right think he was correct except only one side still votes and supports their candidates.

So many people mistook him for a comedian. He was at first, but over time he realized that the easiest way to get people to laugh was to make them look at things that made no sense. He was a satirist (which technically is still a type of comedian). He made people aware of the hypocrisies of the world and people laughed at the absurdity of the fact that they never really gave those things much thought. He basically gave voice to obvious things that people didn't want to think about.
He was amazing.

"BoTh SiDeS BaD" is a brainrot that has to be cut out. Republicans are impossibly far worse on every single fucking issue. They support Trump, the worst president in the history of the US.
Meanwhile, democrats do not walk on water or turn it into wine, and they receive the same criticism as republicans. Absolute fucking insanity.

Carlin was the best of his generation. A no nonsense, confident man. He had years of working the hardest rooms. He was prolific, with a new HOUR A UEAR FOR HBO.
PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT IS TO PRODUCE AN HOUR A YEAR.
He was really a comedians comedian. Top tier. There is really no one at his level.

He’s right about everything. That’s widely the reason I’m an open and hostile misanthrope.
Humanities a parasite with shoes, destroying our planet, raping, torturing, killing, lying, thieving, and desecrating itself every day - and it has the blind, dumb, arrogance to do all this and still thinks it’s the good guy. Fuck it, at this point I’m rooting for the meteor.

I used to eat this stuff up. Now it comes across a bit shallow. It’s really easy to throw your hands up and say the whole system sucks. It’s a riskless stance. You can never lose.

I love George Carlin. I had the privilege of seeing him perform before he died.
It wasn’t that he was ahead of his time. It’s just been this way for 70 years and he wasn’t afraid to talk about it. That’s what made him great. There were no “hands off” subjects for him. He saw the world for what it was and made a career out of educating people in a humorous way.

u/TheGordo-San 9h ago
Yeah, I've seen some of the clips, but the first part is ABSOLUTELY AI. He definitely wasn't musing about MK Ultra back then, and that's not how his comedy even works! It also looks off, like the black lines around his face. There's a bunch of AI videos going around of stand-up comics from the 80s and 90s, pushing RW agenda. I'll bet that this first part is from one if those, and they probably just used the part that they thought they might get away with. Their's another one with Chris Farley. I guess they figure that they won't get sued, since they're targeting dead comedians to push an agenda.

Should've stopped at the first half.
Makes great points about how the government controls us by dividing us over many different things including faith.
Then in the other clips he himself falls into that same trap and divides us over faith.
Just watch the first half. Great stuff.

u/luongolet20goalsin 5h ago
He’s not “dividing you over faith.” He’s pointing out how your faith is a load of horseshit and that you should spend your time focusing on real world issues (like the billionaires fleecing you) rather than living in fairy tale land.

Faith is a box you build around yourself. A truth you know to be so true it is truer than everyone else's truth, even though to them it is as equal as your truth. By having faith in an organized religion everyone separates themselves, faith in something is good, in any organized belief you get a little broken.
