George Carlin on some cultural issues Reaction | Asia and BJ React

[@michaellukasiewicz9683]

We all need to remember or know, George Carlin is one of the first original activists in the 60s 70s and 80s he hated politics, war and stupidity. 🇺🇸

[@Notme195]

Dear Political Activists, All your chanting, marching, voting, picketing, boycotting and letter-writing will not change a thing; you will never right the wrongs of this world. The only thing your activity will accomplish is to make some of you feel better. George Carlin

Carlin was so far ahead of his time, he sent an "okay boomer" from 1996.

Only in his case it was aimed at actual baby boomers, not today's version, which is aimed at everyone beyond Millenial age.

[@awzthemusicalreviews]

​​@@TerranigmaQuintetIt's less about age and more about mentality. Carlin had a great bit in his last special about the term 'old man', and it's the same principle; I've met boomers who are in their 20s and 30s, and I've met baby boomers who are woke (in the original 'fuck the powers that be' definition) af.

[@bryansproles2879]

What's amazing is that Carlin just barely made it to the age of modern cellphones (having died in 2008, and the iPhone came out mid 2007), but the message of the technology he was used to seeing is able to break through even to today's culture. Camcorders = today everyone uses their smartphones to record video on the street or at an event, etc. One hour photo finishing = thanks to high quality photos from phones, you can see your photos immediately (good and bad - good, in that you can retake the photo immediately if it was a bad shot; bad, if all you want to do is look at your photos all the time and not recall how good of a time you actually had.) In its own way, having the photos or video to look back on *years* later, can be good, because memory does tend to fade, but he makes a good point that you shouldn't need to look at this stuff immediately after coming home, unless you're showing it to friends. Great reaction as always :)

[@karenalves8100]

He would have Ben canceled I this So-Called "Woke" generation. He was a BEAST and he was Correct about Everything he 'jokes' about. There was NOTHING "Low Key" about his TRUTH. He was an intellectual, critical thinking man who Told It Like It was! He was Truly WOKE!

It's true. He learned from Lenny Bruce who was consciously trying to be a jazz musician of comedy.

I'm a boomer (tail end of the generation)... now staring down the barrel of retirement, but still love what his 'greatest generation' had to say because they did have it tough (WWII). Well hey... thanks Pops! Look at each gen and you find some crap done well... Love this old G.O.A.T.! 😁😏

[@eruantien9932]

Technically, Carlin was actually part of the Silent Generation; not that he didn't have it tough in WWII, he was a kid at the time (though it was probably less tough of a time than kids in Europe, North Africa and East/South East Asia had). The man certainly had an uncommonly clear view of society, and was unafraid to share it. The goat indeed.

If I were to equate Carlin to any comedians in history, I would have to go all the way back to the medieval court jesters who were some of the few people who could tell the honest truth to the king without being executed, but because they wrapped it in comedy, they prevented themselves from becoming a target...Imagine if Carlin took a less entertainment and more political stand like MLK or Malcom X...we know what happened to them...George even has a bit about all the people we kill saying, "Try to live together in harmony."

I think I've seen about everything he ever recorded.

There is something about the crispy American voice that you don't hear anywhere else. Like when he says the "ten things". You cannot find one human soul in Europe who's able to do that voice.

[@colonelb]

Yeah his take on politicians is sadly accurate. Anyone running for office that got up and said, "we have a lot of problems in this country and we're all going to have to step up and put aside our division and hate and come together and work harder to be better and make the country better for everyone" - that person isn't gonna get any votes, but the person who stands up and says "nothing is your fault, want some free stuff?" - that person gets all the votes. That's more about the mindset and desires of people rather than the politicians themselves.

[@CaptWalker]

That's true but it does go the other way sometimes...i mean when Trump was running he didn't let anyone off the hook and was and is still quick to point out the faults in so many people/groups.
