I don't disagree, thing is, there seems to be a propensity to perpetuate division today. We fight amongst ourselves, still the wealthy increase their coffers. Despite the division, we're still buying their stuff.
So, there's some culpability on those of us down here in the trenches. Somehow we take whatever they give us, and gleefully hand over our $$. For instance, I find it funny the Target displays for Swift limited to 2 items, and chuckle whenever I see something Rock branded. No, I don't need your stuff, I'll listen to the old tunes on my worn out CD's or on the radio, and I can drink water.

In his later years he stopped being funny and was more of a Mort Sahl type.
He's not wrong here - we have the best legal and political season that money can buy (crap, I forgot to mention the media)
I also suspect that the "issues" that are on the news are to keep the population distracted so people won't realize how they are in control.
I was listening to a podcast called "Landslide" that was sponsored in part by NPR (don't stop reading after those three letters) and it described both the Republican and Democratic shenanigans that went on behind the scenes to manipulate public opinion in the Presidential elections from Ford to Regan.
Would love to have had Clinton and the Bushes included - but you probably couldn't go much further ahead because it's too close to the present to be semi-impartial.

Pretzel your right.
I watch and listened to his records as kid. Like take his "Fussy Eater" story that was funny.
It seems like when he and Robin Williams made it past a certain age. They both started to attack the government and religion. Then they both die
(Honesty, I think the government killed them)

@HumanEarth For me Carlin's best routines were about
Stuff
and
Word - why do we park in a driveway and drive on a parkway :)

He was the best. However, after his wife died, his humor became less personal and almost 100% political/religious. He was always known for being so, but he became sort of curmudgeonly on top of that.

If my wife dies, I most likely become the same way. My wife is my world

@HumanEarth I completely understand.

I pretty much agree with anything George Carlin says. May he rest in peace
