      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.

      @@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.

    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".

    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!

    • @GlennDavey
      @GlennDavey 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      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.

    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.
