Abortion | George Carlin | Back In Town (1996)

[@megamandrn001]

For younger people who didn't live through seeing this when it aired, this was right smack in the middle of the religious right's grip on America and Troops being praised for their service in the Iraq war. It was legit shocking to hear someone talk about these issues like this at the time, which is exactly why Carlin was so valuable and ahead of the game. Nobody else was talking like this about social issues.

[@OfficialGeorgeCarlin]

Thanks for giving it context ✌

[@falconeshield]

In 1996? Iraq?

[@aramilalpha1]

It wasn't the Iraq war. It was Desert Storm, which ended in 1991. Only conservatives were sucking the boot, as usual, and carlin wasn't the only voice. Nice try. Thanks for playing.

What I don't understand is how many conservatives like to quote/use George Carlin as some kind of hero for their world view. I am convinced conservatives genuinely exist in alternate realities at this point.

[@kenhollis6197]

Liberals do the same thing. Apparently, neither of them realize that George attacked both of them, and rightly so.

[@GeneralFatman27]

It's literally just because he was a grouchy old man who used vulgarity to make a point. That's all they can see and for many conservatives, being vulgar and grouchy is their entire personality. Conservatives are too stupid to notice that Carlin hated their guts.

[@frankd4253]

You do realize he makes fun of Republicans and liberals, the church and so on. He makes fun of anyone and everything. He went off making fun of Biden as well.

[@Gandhi_Physique]

Someone can disagree with you, but also find some things that they do agree with. Not that complicated. Germany did many horrible things, doesn't mean I'm going to hate everything German. George Carlin was definitely against conservatives, doesn't mean conservatives are going to hate everything he's said.

[@frankd4253]

@Gandhi_Physique actually he wasn't against conservatives. He even said he considered him self a centeralist he'd listen to both sides and decide for him self which he'd rather go with. Some times it was democrats others it was republicans.

Conservatism. Conservatism never changes. Probably because they're always looking backwards with rose-tinted glasses.

[@h.a.9880]

George Carlin knew what he was talking about and sadly, most of the problems are still the same. We literally live in a day and age where people shout "your body, my choice" when it comes to this topic. It's sad... I think we're even further back than in the days of this video.

[@coasterthekid8867]

⁠@@h.a.9880 this is kind of how humans have been for the last however many thousand years we’ve been alive. While our heightened intelligence compared to other species allows us to transcend the survival mindset that most creatures have and allow us to have complex and nuanced thoughts, this also allows for bad actors to take advantage of that and use it to control or harm others. Our social nature also leads us to highly value personal relationships which means that a lot of people will go along with bad things just to stay a part of what they consider the in-group and to avoid being viewed as an outsider or “other”.

[@rexhoffmann7334]

@@coasterthekid8867 WOA!!!!!! All of my thoughts and beliefs in the last 30 some odd years wrapped up in 3 short sentences. Touché

[@eufrosniad994]

Carlin isn’t some moral philosopher. The man is just a reflection of the same misplaced broken down reasoning that not only obscures the issue with abortion, but also countless other moral issues. If you are seeing him as some bastion of wisdom, then it should be said that you are the one that has lost the plot.

“Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers” might be one of the hardest punch lines I’ve ever heard. R.I.P. Carlin and the soldiers 😔

George Carlin wasn't a comedian, he was a visionary that used comedy to get his message across.

[@benstolz6503]

I grew up with George as my favorite comic. As I get older I realize how overrated he is. Norm MacDonald, the actual GOAT, was dead right: Carlin didn't really make people smile. He has little replay value. His appeal is to really young people because young people are idealistic. Same with Hicks and Lenny. They took a lot of easy pot shots and didn't even land them all. You'll grow out of it. I know it sounds crazy now but you will. I certainly never thought I would.

[@river4462]

[@Swedishmafia101MemeCorporation]

Conservatives trying to convince themselves George Carlin was "their guy" is really funny.

[@johnkarniol7608]

George is the best. He tells it like it is. He doesn't hold back.

[@rizz_the_dog]

I consider George a father figure. I am so happy the day I found his comedy. I think I was in my thirties. I'm in my '50s now and I miss this guy. I wish I could have found him when I was in my preteen years

[@aspirationrecords]

Nothing says Father like a "man" who supports abortion lmaooo. What a joke

[@Gandhi_Physique]

@@aspirationrecords Nothing says "man" like someone insinuating someone isn't a man due to an opinion they have. What a joke

[@TheOmniPantheon]

At this point. It's not stand up comedy. It's just flat out true.

Man the amount of truth this man told is heartwrenching

[@nitmcd6253]

So intelligent! Wish he was still here...his words will be here forever! Predicted and loved through it all. Still popular!

[@amaedron_]

I don't understand how people back then though this was comedy. All I'm seeing here is a man spitting facts and teaching people important lessons

[@nikjonestravel]

That aged incredibly well

[@jaymiller8268]

I haven’t seen my other comment. I now pray to George Carlin. His comments about politics, and other relevant areas of Politics, voting etc. and, we humans. It seems like the sane thing to do RIP George ❤. 4:20 to do

[@hnevko]

"they want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers!" - FUCKING PUNCHY and ACCURATE! FUCKING AGREE! : ) Well done, comrade Carlin. Slovakia

[@poppyfrancis7338]

I wish I were alive when George Carlin was. The person I was when I was younger needed to hear these things, even if I wouldn't have taken them seriously then, because I absolutely do now. I'd have had words to attach to the injustice I see around me before I became an unknowing victim of them, a starting point to fight back with. I wish we still had more people like him

[@dr.buzzvonjellar8862]

How dense can contemporary Americans be? Carlin was a comedian! And brilliant enough to say it plainly!

[@ObamAmerican48]

Went to one of his shows mid-90s. His first line: "Have you ever noticed how people who are against abortion don't look like the kind of people you like to fu¢k anyway?!"

[@Euthymia]

I remember that line as well, must have been on one of his records because I never saw him live.

[@hamb7260]

George is STILL my hero.

[@vipin-y1x]

He was so ahead of his time.

[@FreddieVee]

His humor never gets old.

[@connorgrynol9021]

I think it would have been better if it did. I mean, if his satirical criticisms did get old that would mean society has progressed. The fact that it’s still relevant should be a bad thing, no?

[@brianbrino4310]

Simply hilarious I am simply obsessed to watch George Carlin’s videos! He is so good!

[@darkeyeze]

George forgot the children needed for Catholic priests, christian youth group pastors, BSA leaders, Republican congressmen.

[@StaticBlaster]

In 1996, I was 6 years old for most of the year. It's amazing that nothing has changed since then.

[@Left_hand_clapping]

Who would have thought that we in the USA would have gone so backward in thinking and knowledge? I mean WTF? George would be VERY vocal with his comedy if he was with us today. Thanks for posting this historic and brilliant clip.

[@lesliespann6420]

The man spoke truth after truth, after truth, after truth. I got to see him live in the late 80’s, and my abs hurt for two days from laughing so hard for so long. I miss him! 💚

[@Blue_Octo3118]
