It was comedy,he never did anything about it,he never grabbed a gun and fought against the things he complained about,talk,talk. Talk is cheap and fixes nothing,but the man did make money with this comedy.
@@hlessiavedon I’ve helped pay for food for people who couldn’t. I worked as a volunteer in a food bank, I’ve picked up trash of my own volition wherever I went.
The only way this stuff won’t be relevant is when the American people stop fighting each other and ban together to stop these rich assholes. We are going to have to burn it down like they do in France. Only then will we have a government working for us.
And this was in 2008 right in the heart of the dogmatically patriotic Iraq war era. Listen to the awkwardness of the crowd when he starts talking about freedom of choice in this country.
End of overtime? And it’s just doomerism. Average full time worker salary as of this comment is 55k which can buy a 300k home. If you make more than 35k you’re a top 1% earner in the world, congrats you’re the privileged ahole to 99% of the human population
It's even more relevant now. I think this doesn't come across as one of his funnier bits because the audience realizes he's talking about them. It hits a little too close to home.
He died almost 14 years ago. Before the financial crisis hit, and he had them all figured out. It's almost like they looked around the corner. "Is he gone?? Carlin's dead? OK, full speed ahead fuckers! Let's fuck the world with that blue, white and red dick!"
He has material from the 90's about humans being an invasive species with no natural predators and that earth would muster some defence, like a hornet colony protecting itself, and wipe us out with a pandemic.
Government is NOT a monolithic entity. What he is talking about is WHO is invested with political power to determine the actions of your government...be it in the county, state, or the federal level...the patrician donor class. There is no lobby for the poor in DC, hence the half-century of neoliberal deregulatory, union-busting, and special-interest peddling policymaking. All of which has given rise to a new populism, which knows no party, in reaction to the loss of social mobility, financial security, and peace of mind. Sadly, there is only one form of populism that has achieved political power today...the sort that vilifies the most vulnerable members of American society...be it welfare recipients or immigrants as an invasive other, with all of its faux, performative patriotism, folk devilry, conspiratorial narratives, hyperbole, vitriol, mendacity, falsehoods, and yes, a newfound advocacy of authoritarianism. These poor people have been commodified as voters to shift tax burdens from the wealthy onto themselves, dismantle their public education system for charters, vouchers, and private schools, and lavish every tartuffe with idolatry in believing that a criminal charlatan and wannabe strongman is an agent of a God. These Americans are a generation lost and Carlin is fortunate enough not to have seen this fascism come to fruition with their threats of civil strife and political violence at a time when the world needs American leadership most against a new axis of illiberal autocratic powers utilizing our tribalistic polarization for their gain.
Mr. Carlin is at his most honest, observant and critical here. Not his funniest bit, but there are a few laughs from the audience, probably laughter to relieve discomfort. I love this bit because George Carlin was not only funny, but crucial to our culture. We need someone like George to carry the torch for continued enlightenment.
Many truths are said in jest. I've noticed this trait amongst modern stand-upcomedian-critics too. At least four comes to mind immediately. Bill Maher, John Oliver, Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert. Way to go 👍. There are more of them getting the message out there!
@@RapunzelSA You are kidding right? Those are some of the biggest lying propagandists out there. The best on your list is Maher who is right about half the time, and the other half is either lying or willfully ignorant. He frames himself as balanced while blatantly lying in his criticisms of always one side while softballing the other. Dude is either a stooge, or a willing puppet that sold his soul for the benefits that come with being the mouthpiece for more powerful interests. The one good quality he has is that he does seem to have a baseline of real liberal principles that causes him to call out the MOST obscene or ridiculous stuff from "his team." But that's the best I can say for any of them. It all goes rapidly down hill from there. These voices ARE the controlled media of the oligarchs Carlin is talking about, and you only need to see a few examples of them wildly editing people out of context to smear them with the opposite of reality to see just how truly evil the rest of those pieces of s*** really are, as they pretend that their lies and life destroying slander are "just jokes bro" whenever they get caught. Seriously f'ing evil most of those people.
"More and more relevant?" My brother, this dude is wizened and dead, and he was still saying it as a matter of course. It's ALWAYS been relevant, we just hear it, say: "Man, he's right! Anyway..." and forget it. It's never NOT been relevant. It's the entire US system for decades back!
There it is. He just laid it all out brilliantly: the truth about American capitalism. And he somehow articulated this bitter, agonizing reality in a way that was even funny in less than 5 minutes. Ladies and gentlemen, Carlin was the greatest comic of all time.
In socialism you get screwed even more and the same rich Aholes are still in power. At least with capitalism if you’re smart and talented enough you can become wealthy. Socialism? Haha, get in line for a loaf of bread.
Was he laying out capitalism , or just corrupt government(s). Because I don’t give a damned what system you live under, if it’s corrupt , you have no chance. Do you think socialism is better ? Well they give a F even less.

@@RB01.10 yup. Now all immigrants wanna come here even if it'll cost their life trying. To work some frozen fruit warehouse under the table or under a temp agency who takes $5/hour from their pay.

@@billbeliakoff5589 because of one thing and one thing only ,one of the oldest saying in the book, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” these elites have made so much fucking money off of us working class why would they regulate and expand the wealth to the whole country when they could just say “fuck em” and take all the money. It’s how its always has been and never will change.
No comedian before or since has ever had a better parting shot. On his way out of this world. He spoke the truth all of us are feeling. God bless you Sir. You were an inspiration to countless comedians and to the American people in general. RIP.
This man is a true genius. I listen to this when people fight amongst themselves when people back one of the two parties. Especially around elections. This man is generational scholar disguised as a comedian
How well and accurate has this aged!? The irony, is anyone in the audience who is laughing is laughing at their own impotence. Carlin was brilliant...truth by way of "comedy", that always makes the messaging palatable...otherwise you get tossed into the "conspiracy theory heap". But here we are decades later and the "club" is more powerful than ever. 1984 was "fiction" & Carlin was a "comedian".
There was this sweet animation that reached over 2M views featuring Carlin's rant about the american dream, but RUclips removed it. I should know because it's not in my playlist anymore. *I wonder why they removed it*
My dad was in the Air Force when I was young. We left Italy in 1981. My dad told me and my two siblings "Understand one thing about the world kids... American big business controls the world." This is 1981 and my dad knew the truth.
George Carlin was right back then and he’s even more correct now. He’s looking down on all this mess thinking I told ya so! We need more people like him call out all the bullshit for what it is.
2005-2023= Here we have a man who was 18 years ahead of his time. What is more admirable is that in 2023 he is STILL ahead of his time. The most profound prophets come from the most distant places.

They don’t want to face it. It’s too painful. My friends want to be entertained and call me a downer. But I’m funny. I can make them laugh, but I’m not laughing. Glad I’m the age that I am, because one lie we have been told. The truth will set you free. No, it won’t. Blinded by the light. It means the truth will break you. People can’t handle it. That’s why people love fairy tales and things like video games, movies, shopping, believing their lives and the lives of the babies they bring into the world will be fine. It won’t.
I don't think he wanted people to laugh at this. I genuinely think that here he wasn't even trying to be funny anymore. He was using his last days/moments to get us to wake the hell up
RIP Genius of a comedian, wish you were here today. I saw Mr. CARLIN way back 1971 at Brooklyn College, Brooklyn NY. He was incredibly gifted at telling the Truth but with sardonic humor. Today he'd be cancelled by the haters that dispose the Truth. Rock up there with your fellow comedians Mr. Carlin. Thank you for your insight!
Well back then he did fake weather reports in funny voices. It wasn't very cancel-worthy, and even his "7 words" controversy didn't ruin him. He did his real-world stuff in more recent years and never got cancelled. And I think he would have kept evolving with time, and just kept saying true stuff that everyone can relate to and agree on. He would have been nice to have around in this time of need.
For years and years and years I tried to get people to listen to George, saying this guy knows the truth and he's telling it. No one listened. Fucking no one. Today? Everything he said has come true. Miss you so much, George.
Lowering the passing grade, that's what they do here in South Africa as well. Currently the pass mark for Math is 30% here in South Africa. And the very people who made it like that wonder why there has been a significant drop in the number of scientists, doctors, engineers etc here in SA.

For years and years and years I tried to get people to listen to George, saying this guy knows the truth and he's telling it. No one listened. Fucking no one. Today? Everything he said has come true. Miss you so much, George.
Thank you George Carlin, years later that still holds true.
We need George more now than ever
Sadly missed, RIP George, more relevant than ever now.
Still relevant!

It's called the American Dream. Because you have to be asleep to believe it.

It will never get better, it's getting worse every day.
It's like having the sand shift beneath your feet everytime I come back and have a listen or a ponder. It becomes clearer and more true.
