That has earned our respect.
Conservatism is classically a sign a person grew up.
So they talk around it. People know what's good and what isn't; you aren't going to get far confusing the issue. You'll get a baby but you won't get a family; maybe that's far enough.
Carlin's good at talking around stuff. Maybe even great at it. And he understands how many people, liberal and conservative, have built this entire planet out of confusing the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ issue. It drives him up a wall, like a casava melon. Or the phrase' driving up a wall.' Or the fact that somehow penises have superior ballistic shapes, despite that being extremely arbitrary from a biological perspective and somehow our 'completely straight' brains keep going out of their way to design every aspect of a weapon system to resemble a penis.
comedians are secular priests. even if you strip away everything else the funi scripp is still running. it's still dictating our torture along the lines of humor. we're primed to view funny people as 'in control.' even when they aren't.
isn't that funny? like that italian clown that was a serial killer. killed people on stage, as well as off it.
Resurrecting the dead makes them very angry.
Doubt it. Carlin didn't get care for the individual politics of people. He saw the whole system as corrupt. Which is why he referred to them as a big club, and you ain't in it. If he were to criticize Trump, it would be on the same grounds he'd criticize Biden, or any politician for that matter for putting their interests above the people. You best believe he wouldn't tolerate that "us vs them" ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that so many people peddle and push these days.
If you're expecting him to side with one camp more than the other, you don't understand Carlin. He was funny to everyone in the audience, no matter their politics or religion, because he always kept it real in terms of who the actual enemies and power brokers were. The ability to appeal to both sides, especially in a polarized political climate like the one today, would be an invaluable skill not to just to any politician but a comedian as well.
something about how "you can't really tell the difference, so they try to dig up dead people to make it more obvious. and people are more interested in a 300 year old dead body than they are in your candidate. so they try to make the candidate look more like a 300 year old corpse, so that some of that interest rubs off. some of that eau du coffin."
That's why I said if he were alive today. I dont think a single actor, musician or comedian has managed to completely avoid the tinge of "Death of the Artist"
so they supported a dubious intellectual movement to justify only marketing their own products, corporate billboards. stuff the corporate world will back you up on existing, when it's convenient for them.
meanwhile real artists are not only starving, but now completely unknown. it's like they all disappeared, or got disappeared.
maybe they're all in vegas, getting thrown out of clubs because they're bitter about their audience. like angels drowning in the gutter. elvis is still alive; he's up in heaven, looking down on you. from his toilet.
Or would he have tried to stay in the middle like Bill Maher?
One can never be sure. The last thing I remember seeing him in is giving blowies as a hitchhiker in a Jay and Silent Bob movie (JSB Strike Back). After mocking the Church in a previous JSB movie (Dogma). Not stereotypically super-Conservative I guess? But that was all years before the great red-pill awakening that COVID hysteria, and Russiagate, and Epstein, and so many other events forced on many former libs, opening their eyes.
I wonder also if Sam Kinison would have been based, or gone and took the ticket. I would like to think Kinison would have been on the side of the Memelords, and not the side of the One Eye Photo Beautiful People.
But we can never know.
We have Ryan Long, though. That's enough for me.
