George Carlin: The American Public | Dennis Miller Live (2001)

[@brianbrino4310]

George Carlin was simply fantastic and most of the philosophy behind his words remain valid today!

[@nkamkar09]

Well said. Even more so today than at his time...

[@coolioso808]

Truth is valid forever, whether most people know it or believe it. Sadly, with freak show Trump elected again by the American people it just proves Carlin's point: American people are stupid and easily manipulated. Most of them who voted, that is.

[@armanraha651]

George Carlin was a philosopher. The wisest person I ever known. Opened my eyes on the ruling system and society. I really miss him.

[@Chasm9]

you should check out Jacque Fresco who took it even further than Carlin.... based on his life experiences. Like living though Great depression, WWII, he met with Einstein, BF Skinner, Bucky Fuller, and many other inventors, through his own research and experiences he found out that the human behavior (not human nature!) is shaped by environmental and cultural influences, and this shapes our thinking, understanding, outlook, values..... saying that people are stupid isn't enough... it's when you *understand why do people behave the way they do* you can start moving them in new and better direction. He formed a very good understanding of this society... His lectures were brilliant, literally life changing material because also offered possible solutions since he was also technical on top of being scientific and humane.

[@coolioso808]

Watch Zeitgeist films by Peter Joseph? Carlin was a big influence on him and his new film, Zeitgeist: Requiem, pays tribute to that in the trailer, and Martin Luther King Jr, no less.

[@Chasm9]

@@coolioso808 Yes, Carlin was also featured in Zeitgeist The Movie and Zeitgeist Addendum. But Jacque Fresco had a whole segment in the Zeitgeist Addendum - really worth the watch. Also documentaries about his Venus Project called The Choice is Ours or Paradise or Oblivion talk about social change and a new social system that is just and equitable for all people. They use science and technology for the betterment of all people and protection of environment. Fresco wasn't just a philosopher, he was an industrial designer and social engineer and inventor first and foremost. He made thousands of designs and hundreds of inventions.

@@coolioso808 I haven't seen it. I'll find it on youtube and watch it. Thanks!

[@Chasm9]

​@@armanraha651 Zeitgeist Addendum and Zeitgeist Moving Forward are based on Jacque Fresco's book The best that money can't buy. That's why I recommended you to watch his lectures and documentaries about The venus project first. Zeitgeist movies are good, but the first one is conspiratorial. The 2nd and 3rd offer solutions.

[@privatehand]

Miller heard everything George said and later went "Nahhhhhhhhh!"

[@TheHardys01]

This man is incredibly praised, and is still not given the respect he deserves.

[@coolioso808]

His deepest messages are whitewashed, as usual. Like how MLK Jr. was really about abolishing capitalism and bringing up the poorest people to economic equality for all, but MLK Day events rarely highlight how deeply he cared about justice. Well, some still hold onto those figures for inspiration. Watch the trailer to Zeitgeist: Requiem, and you'll see!

[@jeri3794]

Never seen this interview, before. I was in my early 20s when he died, and didn't get to appreciate him while he was alive, but these videos are comforting. Not that things are going to get better, but that I'm not overreacting to have lost hope

[@iRenegade164]

My favorite contemporary philosopher. He's had as much influence on the man I've become as my parents, Neil Peart, and Frank Zappa! I miss them all very much 😢

[@NeroBaelside13]

George Carlin got me into critical thinking when I was 14. As a young struggling closet case his special brand of spite and ire for the authoritarian right inspired me the more than anything at the time. Now I'm 35 and I still regularly watch his shows and interviews. Everything he has said is still relevant and always will be.

[@paulzammataro7185]

Frank Zappa, too.

[@De-probationibus-conspiratio]

​@@paulzammataro7185Nah both Carlin and Zappa would've injected the woke Kool Aid into their brains or at the very least stayed silent about it or very mildly & meekly criticized the left at the most

@@De-probationibus-conspiratio Will people like you please just shut up. You've got your president, your court, your house and senate, so please just shut the f up about "woke" this and "woke" that. Do you even know the definition of the word? According to Merriam Webster: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice). Are you going to accuse Merriam Webster of being "woke" just because they have a definition of the word? Please, for the love of god, go away. You've done your damage.

[@jasonpdsi]

@@De-probationibus-conspiratio That's pretty cynical considering much of what I've heard Carlin talk about refers to the establishment in general, regardless of what side.

Thank you for bringing back George Carlin's incredible comedy right when we needed it most.

[@balajikanakasabapathy6998]

The man understood the truth of the world. When I first heard him, almost 10 years ago I thought he was funny and insightful. But now, the older I get the more I find his words to be true.

[@robertcfedele]

Timeless 💛

[@phillipphinney206]

Boy, when Carlin said he thought the American people were stupid he had no idea just how true and prescient he'd be on November 5, 2024.

[@De-probationibus-conspiratio]

When Carlin was alive the operation mockingbird media still hypnotized the masses with their liberal degenerate criminal propaganda But with social media giving people access to real truthful independent journalism the great majority of the people broke the spell and it became manifest on 11-5-24 By the way what happened to those 10 million more voters that Biden got in 2020?

[@jakybakey8473]

Actually, I think you're making a big mistake. The election was not about Trump or Harris, it was about RFK JR!!... You will see (just listen to some of RFK JR's speeches; Trump is and will be heavily influenced by him) lol

[@Carlinisms]

My father loved George Carlin growing up in the 60s/70s and showed me his work when I was a young boy in the early 2000s. He used to joke around telling me that he was my great Uncle because we were Carlins ourselves. Ever since those early years of my life, I’ve admired George’s interviews and specials more than any other person. He knew how to captivate his audience like no other. He’d draw them in, bludgeon them with the truth, honesty and reality that we were all living in and then later on in the night, I’ve heard stories he would talk to you just like a regular person, like a friend, even if he just met you. He used to always talk about how there’s a universe inside each and every one of us if we look close enough but as soon as we begin to group, as soon as we begin to clot, that’s where we begin to sacrifice the beauty of the individual. Boy, do we miss George dearly. ❤

[@robheggart9624]

Love this. Being Canadian, I didn't get a chance to see lots of interviews with George. Still reminisce spinning his albums. Made sure my children were introduced to his genius as well. 😮

[@OfficialGeorgeCarlin]

[@xboxhussy37]

Yeh same here from Liverpool/UK. Told my daughter about the invisible man in the invisible sky back in the day when she was old enough to know. She transferred the info on and questioned her teachers about it and asked for explanation! They provided none!

[@charlotteavery4040]

George Carlin was a genius. He would have a field day today with all of the corruption in the government if he were here. To date, everything he said 20+ years ago is still true today. RIP George. We miss you.🙏😊

"No one in this world, so far as I know-and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me-has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby. The mistake that is made always runs the other way. Because the plain people are able to speak and understand, and even, in many cases, to read and write, it is assumed that they have ideas in their heads, and an appetite for more. This assumption is a folly." H. L. Mencken (1926)

[@zygmuntthecacaokakistocrat6589]

I agree . . . however, he looks down on people. Calling people stupid all the time, as he did, doesn't start a conversation that leads them into being less stupid, and less likely to threaten you, when they are firstly threatened by ideas and viewpoints that they can't comprehend. To get through to people, to help them be less stupid, you have to go against the whole marketing-driven narrative that the US has constructed over the last 150 years; because advertising, commercial propaganda (overlaid by state propaganda; viz. 'Top Gun', 'Call of Duty', etc.) has created a distorted picture of the world, in which people's only path to worth and satisfaction is portrayed as the acquisition of increasingly scarce & expensive commodities. But I suppose Marxist analyses of the problems he identified is a step too far. As you were. All Hail the Orange Fuhrer! Buy stupid crap, made in a low wage economy, from multinational companies! John Steinbeck's legions of 'temporarily embarrassed millionaires' have spoken, and they choose the illusion of democracy, which they've been sold by meretricious billionaire imbecile fash-bros, rather than the hard work real democracy entails.
