Carlin was a huge lefty though, I fear he would go all in.
exactly how do people not realize this? he literally said white people have no souls back in the 90s. the 90s version of kiwifarms called him out for being a faggot.
I'm disappointed. We probably would have gotten some good laughs as soon as he opened his mouth in the debates.
I listened to his new book on a long drive recently and he is a complete retard. Worse, he's a retard who thinks he's actually really smart and insightful.
it would have brought the country together, honestly i bet someone basically told him he'd be blacklisted if he did it. i highly doubt his views are in any way different from the Dem's so he would have been a spoiler effect. i can't think of a single conservative value he actually has, at least trump announced a pretty right wing list of issues when he announced he was running. Matt doesn't have a conservative bone in his body.
George Carlin's comedy would have been beaten with the same cancel culture stick we've seen in years before and people like to think that he would have been stubborn enough to stand up to them and, while not actually be a conservative, end up on the same side of the cancel culture war as themselves. I hold the same optimistic opinions of Christopher Hitchens. We could derail this thread so hard talking about this, but I will say if Christopher Hitchens was alive and he had swung the way of sanity, he would have been at his peak in all this shit. Heck, there are a few notable liberals condemning it to this day despite not labeling themselves conservatives (see joe rogan). It's very wishful thinking and it's very possible it would have gone the other way with them towing the line like everyone else, but you can't fault people for thinking the best of the deceased.
I'll leave it at that.
while thats true when the options are "go the way of dawkins" or keep being famous its obvious which road most of these guys will take when given the opportunity. case in point how almost no political or non-political comedian made jokes that were pro-rittenhouse in the last month. i'd have to believe that at best he'd go the way of Bill Maher, where he does the typical anti-trump bits but then spends the rest of it bashing the left. Hitchens would probably end up like JK Rowling or other uk commenters, basically faded into the sunset because they refuse to go to the right but the left don't want them. Although chances are both of them would have followed Stern, back in 2008 Stern was just as based and redpilled as those guys.
Boomers who share (likely misattributed or just false) quotes from Carlin like he was this gutsy pro-American dude have never, ever listened to his shit up through and including the years prior to his death. In the 60's his stuff was alright but around the 1980s he just turned into "Angry old man yells at cloud."
he had a mental breakdown because Rick Morranis mocked him on SCTV and called him a hack to his face, imagine the man who's the living sterotype of a nerd big dicking you.
The battle lines of the culture war have shifted so much that the positions of even 15 years ago don’t cleanly map to those of Current Year. The Christian Right is defeated and irrelevant. Censorship is now overwhelmingly the domain of the Left who now controls the media, and the Left of today isn’t the Left of the 1990s and 2000s. The terms of the culture war have changed so fast that it’s created living fossils such as Dawkins. Forget about trying to guess where Carlin would be today, his death year of 2008 is practically an eon ago.
while you and i know that, the left still pretends its 2004 and so do normies, look at The Boys. That entire "appeal to christians" bullshit arc in that, and other media like John Oliver or reddit who keep bringing up events from before they were fucking born to prove "actually its the right that does that"
Carlin was anti-establishment and said some things in his final interviews that were pretty prescient. I don't feel like looking it up right now, but he wasn't a toady.
In related news, you may think that Louie CK is a born cuck liberal or whatever, but I caught his most recent set a little bit ago, and there were jokes about crossing state lines and pot shots about how he thinks black women are ugly and look like monkeys. There are some people who really really hate being told what they can and can't say and if you try it, then you're their enemy.
CK is only doing that material now because he was canceled years back and beyond that the leaked set where he mocked the parkland kids destroyed the rest of his credibility. if you look at the stand up special that leaked set was based on the material bloggers were most horrified by wasn't in it, it was just bad bits he tried out and never used. its a male version of how kate upton's career basically ended when the fappening showed us her goods
How many wagies get paid biweekly? It's a broader net than you think.
i swear its been the norm since like forever, outside of companies that near-openly rely on drug addicts (like fast food or warehouses) i can't think of a single place that has weekly pay. maybe some Ma&Pa shop that does it out of tradition. but i'd say 70% of places do biweekly pay.
I want the war on drugs to be rebooted according to this tweets vision. If a populist candidate ran based on only this idea I would get behind them.

so do we tell him?
this is what i hate about these newb conservatives. they believe everything the left fucking fed them up until they got redpilled and dont go back and question any of it. Look back it was 90% hardcore drugdealers getting taken down and a handful of people who's possession was what they got charged with because the state loves reducing sentences. the state is like progressive, it gives discounts to everyone for every reason, no one serves their full sentence or for what they've been originally charged for.
Beyond that the "street-level pot dealer" myth is because you'd have some thug rob a place, get in a fight with the cops, go on a high speed chase, and then after all that it gets reduced to drug possession because he pled out.
And Another Thing..... when you look at the stats most drug dealers in prison are the ones caught with over a kilo, hell you can't even fit a quarter pound of weed in a backpack and thats about a years worth of supply for most people. So even that would only be something the guy selling to the streel level dealer would have on them, and like i said its not 1994 after the blacks almost pulled a Shoah on the jews. roughly .1% of people are in prison for drugs, hell i guaranttee you more people are in prison for fucking their own mothers than are in prison for "possession"
Yet every retard still believes this liberal myth despite knowing they're full of shit on 1000 other ones.
