George Carlin's Advice on Dealing with the 2016 Election 

"Scratch a conservative and you find someone who prefers the past over any future. Scratch a liberal and find a closet aristocrat." --Frank Herbert, _God Emperor Of Dune_

@@negascoot23 I'll second this. Liberals are not left-wing; they're just money, new and old alike.

@@stateofopportunity1286 And I *am* a liberal (by most definitions), I'm just owning my essential nature. There's a sense of "noblesse oblige" among many liberals (I won't speak for all of us). We don't like to talk about it, but I think a lot of us would attempt to compel or legislate that which we believe to be good, wise, or beneficial to society if we could...and we would do it with the best of intentions. But tyranny is tyranny--whether in the name of the ruling class or the common people. Tyranny in the name of the people is actually *more* dangerous: It's harder to spot, and its leaders really are sincere... They honestly want to make the world a better place--they just forget that forcing the world to be "a better place" never results in anything but destruction. (See? I think I'm wise enough to teach you, and whoever else is reading, about these things. Noblesse oblige 😛)

@@negascoot23 Modern liberalism has already embraced tyranny and abandoned the laissez-faire ideals espoused by its progenitors after the fall of Mercantilism. Now that value set is relegated to so-called "Libertarian" circles. Socially...authoritarian speech restrictions, tribal cultural programming, employment of mob mentality, and legislation/taxation to elicit behavioral change have all been employed with draconian efficiency by liberal politicians, think tanks, and pundits. Stray too far from the Overton Window and you will find yourself on the receiving end of a rapidly deployed witch hunt, regardless of what sort of ideas you were discussing. Even crafting practical plans to address the crises liberals milk for votes will result in ostracization. After all, if one fixes a problem, like the border, one can't use it to buy votes come election time anymore. Free-trade rhetoric has been hijacked to allow export of production and to leverage the profitability of slavery/indentured servitude against the labor capital of workers in developed countries (outsourcing). Simultaneously, trade blocs were crafted under the auspices of free trade that suppressed the sovereignty of nations under that of private corporations unattached to any particular country. Tribunals were designed to supercede laws imposed by governments, thereby turning them into population middle-management for global non-landed oligarchs. This is the ISDS and the ability of corporations to sue governments for potential lost future profits. Corporations would also be free to invert and relocate to any country in an overlapping network of trade blocs, employing the economic/media structures of loyal nations to sanction and bring to heel any government that disagreed with the plan. Liberal aristocrats enabled and facilitated this. I suppose it shouldn't be surprising that an aristocracy wouldn't share its designs with the larger populous, and that it would craft any narrative necessary to usurp the democratic systems of power. This era is ending. We will end it.

@@stateofopportunity1286 I'm going to admit it, 90% of what you just wrote is so far beyond my ken that I don't even know if I agree or disagree😜 That's a huge problem in public discourse: Starting or entering arguments we're completely ignorant about...but we know (or *think* we know) that the other person is on the "opposing team", therefore they are wrong by default. And if your "enemy" is always wrong, understanding them is unimportant--all you have to do is oppose them. By any means necessary. That's why political/philosophical/religious debates on social media almost always devolve quickly into name-calling and insults. At which point it's no longer a matter of right or wrong, correct or incorrect, valid or invalid... "Winning" an argument now means being so insufferably cruel and offensive that your opponent can no longer stand talking to you 😝 Point is, I barely grasp what you're saying...but I'm not going to pretend to agree with you to look smart, mount some babbling opposition that will only highlight my idiocy... ...OR just say "fuck it" and start pelting you with hate speech and vicious obscenities. You're clearly an intelligent, thoughtful person--and my ignorance is no excuse to disrespect you.

😂

I was wondering about that , too.

Yeah... this stuff is annoying.

Extremely mystical quote from George. I thought i woulda heard Bill Hicks say it that way.

Im a therapist and I get to see this truth everyday.

A good man George..perfectly falible and normal bloke, with a dash of sweet eccentricity brought about by his observations of society and exquisitely imbued with wisdoms and wit and rational beautiful intelligence that spoke the simple truthes of our world and our species and then sprinkle dusted his wise thoughts out onto the four winds and airwaves and in turn washed our hearts with brilliant and hilarious wittiscisms that could bring roiling giggles and tears to our eyes in the same moments..and Dear George could make us all pause in mid eye watering giggle and halt in thought and then ponder our place in the universe..a magic weilding mirth mischief bringer was he..we truly need more good decent humans such as George in this time so as to help us smile and laugh and think much better..cheers fer the mischief George..you are much missed😊😉💘😈😆.. 👍✊👊✌(/-\)

Beautiful, profound thoughts like this were why Carlin's work often sounded so angry, even bitter. He knew how marvelous the world could be... And he knew what the world is. The pain of that revelation cannot be expressed in polite, mild language. It can only be expressed with rage, and eventually sarcastic indifference.

Im sure he miss all the bullshit anyways. He really seemed to enjoy the freakshow. But im sure we have even more bullshit to come =p

He missed: Trump Tumblr. Bronies Weebs Furries North Korea Putin Third wave feminism SJWs Political correctness gone wild memes These... Special people who think there's a 3rd gender Buzzfeed And many more. RIP in peace

Its been a circus for over 30 years now. Just when you think bush...damn. Clinton...damn, not too much better, but maybe we go up from here. Then Son of a Bush....damn we have to of hit rock bottom. Then Obama....damn, at least he was charasmatic, still not climbing up though. Just as terrible, in 7 countries proxy wars instead of two. Still circling the drain. Trump...damn, not charasmatic but also not career politician. Has no filter on his mouth, uses insults instead of charisma. Im with Carlin on this one, just watching the show. Whos next, Clinton puppet Kamalia Harris, another Super delegate cheat of Bernie, then Vince McMahon WWE(Idiocracy) and continue the gradual spiral down with Bildeberg blessing like promissing warhawk Hillary after they gave it to neolib Obama, another loose cannon like Trump even with jury(grand lol) still out to lunch. Maybe Monty Pythons flying circus, theyre not born here, but does it really matter at this point. How low can we go? Ive given up hope after I voted lesser evil Obama 2008 and got screwed. I say Tulsi Gabbard, but she would be only one of a couple that would be going up. The last 4 clowns to exit and one possibly in there now. Smh, we couldnt get that lucky for Gabbard to even run...

Spaz Tastic You voted for Obama and 2008 and you think you got screwed? I really hope you’re not insinuating McCain would have been better because that’s really dumb. George Bush fucked up the economy into the worst recession in 70 years and he was like half of Mccain’s age. Just imagine if another republican was elected after the crash in 2008. Jesus christ. Lol.

It sums up why I'm no more a huge patriot than I belong to a religion, since it's the same thing. In fact, I'm from Texas, where you're supposed to be a huge patriot in TWO ways - the country kind and the state kind - and neither one works in my case.

@@Oppeldeldoc1 You can bring your own blend of patriotism / faith to the group as an individual. No need to follow the crowd, there's a wealth of material to be proud of for your country / creed / religion, just do it in your own way.

I like Norm. Hes a pretty good comic

@voi vod already trying to rationalize a thought which has not been thoroughly processed into a rational argument

well said...

its the way he delivered it. it was an art form that was just easy to comprehend and hold your attention

In Mel Brooks' "History of the World, Part 1" Mel is in the unemployment line dressed in ancient Rome garb, and tells the clerk that his profession is "Stand Up Philosopher." She puts him down as "Bullshit Artist." George told the truth. A true philosopher.

It’s what true comedians should be.

Yet again. No, he was not a philosopher, he was a comedic social commentator. Calling him a philosopher only makes you feel smarter for "getting" him, it's not for his glory. He'd almost certainly mock anyone for making that assertion anyway.

as much as I agree, Luv Carlin an his dialogue . the real world still sucks

Same here!!!

Word man. On point.

He would also be pissed about all the people that quote Carlin all day long in other videos and particular on this one. All they do is repeat what he says ffs. Instead of talking about what Carlin really says and meant with what he says. Its disgusting they do exactly what Carlin says, they stop thinking individually for the sake of the group, becoming like everyone else quoting the next phrase after the next. People are simply dumb and i love listing to Carlin because it heals my mind to know that I'm not alone with all those stupid people. Its horrible really. These days, those stupid people become SO stupid that they aren't even amusing or entertaining anymore, and then it becomes really shitty and boring i tell you

@@jamesrichardson63 Is the word on the page? Did you understand what it means? So what is your point?

It's doesn't matter if he was here today or not.what he spoke was about what was going on in his time and still going on today. Corruption

Yes George Carlin brought up great points - but did he bring up solutions?

@Diverse TV Precisely.

@Diverse TV yes - nearly as old as George Carlin might be right now. He'd be my oldest brother's age. these days, we pretty much have to draw cartoon pictures for people to see the solutions...It would have been nice if he was able to incorporate that into his humor One example we saw happening way back then? China? People complaining about a communist country taking over 77% of US mortgages and debt GEORGE COULD HAVE JOKED ABOUT THAT THEN GIVEN A LITTLE BIT OF ADVICE ON THE SIDE -use a local credit union or a local bank that's not traded on the stock market... Account holders own the bank. Now I want you to think - if George Carlin was able to make statements back then, to guide you out of this Doom he was predicting.. imagine the impact he could have had? I had George Carlin albums we would listen to them Friday and Saturday nights. I'm sitting here imagining - what if he actually added solutions? - how he could have changed folks' minds back then - instead of us having look at the mistake in our rear view mirror while we bomb 90 miles per hour in the wrong direction I think the rest you all in the 48 are suckers at this point. I'd rather carry 911 on my hip and deal with the bears out here than current humans that weren't born during George Carlin's era. I just wish he had been able to lead with solutions. Cuz you know he's correct.. back then many of us already knew he was correct - and people would accuse us of wearing tin foil hats.

he was a stounch atheist and his genius carried him straight to the pit..

That's such a ridiculous oversimplification that I almost wonder if he was feigning ignorance of world/societal issues. You have to FIGHT to KEEP or RESTORE the peace. Scenario: A police officer is called to a home invasion where he tackles and subdues, by force, a would be thief, rapist, what have you. Because there will always be people who seek to take by force, you can either appease them or stand up to them. You can't poo poo fighting for fighting's sake.

So do I. He's always so right on target. He and Lenny Bruce were the two most honest comics of all. Without people like Lenny and George, there aren't many folks who point out how sick so-called "civilization" or "Society" is.

I want to tell you that,..."sure, it can be fixed",..but, I can't. I don't know what's gonna happen. I've been on the earth much longer than you and granted,...there have been some scary times -- but,...right now,...this is different. I would take Georges advice -- don't care about the outcome. Live your life. Do the best you can at the things you love to do. Be as kind and as nice as you can to other people,...because in the end, all of us want the same things out of life.

@Matthew Vides the internets only made everything he's saying worse. It's interesting to see people knew back then. What he would have made of it I wonder?

He was a nihilist with no hope for the future, not someone to be taken seriously

Comedians has always had the thinkers. Those who saw things and commentated us. We need more of it now

A group can be good, ok, A gang is a mob.

In a way he still kind of is. His wisdom will remain long after we are all gone. I do agree with you though. He would have no shortage of material if he were alive today.

The Rock Ancestor / Charlie Patton ......George was visionary, even if he did not embrace that aspect of his particular perspective. I have a feeling he would be viewing the current situation as fulfilling a dystopian destiny beyond anyone's control. He could express it in fewer words, however.

All Russel Brand has kinda taken up the torch. He's spreading the same message (almost) that George Carlin started. The obvious exception is that Lord Carlin was able to show people how stupid religions are whereas Russel Brand has only kind things to say about religion. Other than that, Russel says a LOT of the very same things George Carlin was trying to teach people. I wish that he would credit the beginning of this 'movement' to/ with George Carlin in the late 60s, rather than pretending that he himself (Brand) is a revolutionary thinker who wants to shake up the political ennui... But whadda ya gonna do?

Groups don't form individuals. You can't be an individual if all you know is following your herd. Why do you think girls in groups look the same? It's a natural instinct to want to belong to groups formed by people that look and act like you, but then again you should wonder if that's a good thing. I still want to join new groups. From time to time i would join a group and hang out or whatever, but after a while i would get bored, because the people in them are all the same. Dress the same, listen to the same music, talk the same etc. There's always an alpha that plans things, always the ones who don't say much etc. They're samples of society and it's scary sometimes how alike all groups are, when you get down to their core. Groups almost scare me past a certain point, no matter what they are about.

TheEvolver311 I’m not saying applying and using words to guide your decisions is wrong, I’m saying that the title saying it’s strictly advice on the 2016 election is taking it out of context and constricting the advice to only that election. It’s misleading and untrue. Also it was a joke about him not being alive to have advice on the 2016 election, hence why I made up a quote of him from 2019. Wasn’t making huge political statements. Chill out and take his advice.

Right about everything, and completely, missing the point!

he is definitely not a comedian...he doesn't make jokes; he states depressing facts honestly.

I think he would reject that whole-heartedly. He was calling out the current state of affairs and simply extrapolating the direction of movement.

I Think you mean "My joe Pesci, this man was a visionary" 😉

No, pal - just a damn good comedian. But one who drank and did drugs excessively and who spent far too much time overthinking life.

medschool2626 I feel bad for you.

medschool2626 if that’s your experience, I’m sorry. There are places you can get help for these issues of which you suffer. George Carlin’s experience was different. He was happy, caring, and deeply passionate about the world, his comedy, and his family. You need to grow a sense of humor and stop being moronic. I’m sorry for the ignorance and pain you feel, my poor sweet, dumb child.

And why was he able to do this ? He didn't need to belong to any groups. He thought for himself. Ive always said, Ive never met anyone as interesting to me as I am to myself.

Yep

Not really, go read some of his man hating stuff. he was entirely trapped in the world of his father abusing his mother. He never was able to see past it and applied his personal experience to all men, while conveniently excluding himself. He was a hypocrite.

@@based9930 he was right though we are circling the drain... Facts no longer matter all the human education and understanding has given way to feelings.

The level of stupidity America has sunk to is amazing.

No....people didn't get offended back in 1996 and before. Now they look for a reason to be offended.

Jay Torraso You hit the nail on the head. It's almost like he's passively aggressively saying "Prove me wrong you disappointment of a species. I'd love to see you try." He'll end up being right or very pleasantly surprised, so he wins either way.

Dixon Adair - I have to say, Carlins way is good, disconnected way to be...but the challenge is being truly emotionally disconnected. I go back and forth myself...it's hard. But life is better when u look at humans like a disconnected scientist. I have no dog in the fight:)

Jay Torraso he's actually said many times that he doesn't hate people, he just hates competition and honestly thinks that we're soon to die out naturally. He's actually very reasonable to think this in the long term, but he hasn't seen that the younger generations are packed full of people wanting to "fix the freaks".

Frédéric Acord - hate is a strong word. I said: disappointment. And I agree w him. Since I was 14, I would look around and wonder when are people gonna evolve? my mother would always try to the change the subject...I guess she knew the answer. I'm 46 now...and I have only witnessed a DE-evolving occurring with mankind, so I bury my head in creative things and the world of physics. Not living in denial.

To the 32 people who gave this a thumbs up, it's great that you like the comment, but are you doing anything about it? How many of you proudly call yourselves a Democrat or a Republican? Or wear your patriotism on your sleeve? Or identify so closely with one denomination of a religion that it's the first thing that comes out of your mouth at parties? All these great comedians who have taken on the role of philosopher because no one else will--George Carlin, Bill Hicks, Doug Stanhope--don't say these things just to be funny or seem edgy; they say them because there's some truth in it. Carlin was big on individualism and expression, and both get smothered and die when you give them up in order to be part of something bigger. Take these words to heart. Digest them. Look at your own life when you run those words through your head. Don't just applaud and then walk away.

dil oreo If he did, he wouldn’t have continued to make political comedy.

There's a difference between taking a cynical approach to life as a comedic strategy and being a cynical "wise guy"

@dil oreo there's no hope for humanity!!!! That's a lie!!!!! Carlin lied!!!!!! Jesus Christ was the hope for humanity!!!!!!!

And what about mother Teresa she had an interest in helping the poor!!!!!!!! For good causes!!!!! Carlin suffers from very very low self esteem!!!!!!!!

Thats pretty stupid

@Shockheadd45 :)

Nah, it is stupid. Only because BOTH are bad. And I put more responsibility on those who do evil. So do most civil societies by the way... that’s why we prosecute criminals, not bystanders. Also, Einstein was a great scientist but not such a good human being. He estranged his sons, cast out his mentally-challenged daughter, fooled around with plenty of women, including the daughter of his second wife. So all I’m saying is, maybe he’s not the best person to talk. This quote has also been used by anti-Semites to attack Jews by saying that Nazis aren’t as dangerous as the poor, marasmus prisoners in concentration camps who didn’t do more to stop them. That’s an insane argument, I hope you agree. Do you see the fault in the quote? Both evil and apathy are bad.

@Simeon Lindsay That's ultimately where a lot of the world's problems come from - immaturity. People who can never grow up, who can never own up to their own faults and issues.

"Fuck Einstein " that's what they said in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but in a polite maner of course.

That interestingly is always the case, but if we don't do anything, it won't get better in our children's lifetimes either.

That would make it 8 years short now wouldn't it

@@ActionJackson669 Probably

YES

So what is it waiting for?

@Blow Me well Well, it's gonna be waiting a long while. Happiness for one whole day in my insipid life would be like a hard-on for a ninety year old ... ain't gonna happen.

That's funny, because I've been saying that for years. I've told people, that's why there are earthquakes. It's the planet trying to shake us off of it.

I don't know.. I may argue Lawful Neutral. His blaise gives me a more passive disposition impression of him. A question for the scholars. Haha

Add face mask to that list too.

He identifies impermanence and non-attachment here

Yeah. The world is run by voyeurs. Salo. Ugh.

It's a good thing the Greeks followed that. The results were they haven't been anything since they fought off Persia

@@Nnnnn636 watch Salo.

@@duewhit310 The "Highest", the Watchers, aren't running the world, the sellers are: They control the ones who compete, and don't give a damn about the ones who watch. High, Middle, and Low in this context refer to philosophical ideals, not actual power or authority. The fact that this is from Ancient Greek philosophy is entirely incidental. I could have said the Superbowl instead of the Olympics, left out the Greek part, and nothing essential would change.

Interesting enough Aristotle argued in his book "Poetics" that for a tragic story to be entertaining, you have to feel fear and pity for the protagonist.

In todays world we ourselves create the story and are the protagonists. I for myself also feel wonder and pity and I am most peaceful inside when I dont care . ..

philosophers .. theyre philosophers..

@@foobarmaximus3506 I agree. Some of my personal favorites are Carlin, Eddie Murphy, Norm Macdonald, Louis Ck, Dave Chappelle, and Bill Burr.

Greg Gatsby 👍🏾

more like a cheerful nihilism. why get mad at things you have no control over? sit back and enjoy the insanity

This is closer to Epicureanism tbf

Nihilism with a smile and a smirk.

USA owes every household $14,000, for taking our income from March to now September. Teach people to work online, and have recorded films to teach students at home on all subjects, and pay people $2K per month. Deal with all the murders by sending rapists, murderers, and traitors to Siberia one way. America is not safe for anyone. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8l5jEQW6OW4.html Let go and let God always. No one can ride your back, unless you bend over. BEHAVE FOLKS or else...

Man, I like listening to Carlin. Always grounded as fuck. Thanks for the upload.

Robert MacCready Jeeze Louise, Robert, don't get your panties all up in a bunch! No, your title states 2016, so it is NOT. Clear! However, I love what he said and and did you finish reading what I wrote? I worked with George in the 70's. I felt the man was a genius! I wasn't trying to be cynical and I'm not a Dem or Rep. So, take a deep breath!

If George were alive today, even he would be flabbergasted at what he's missed. The last 10 years alone seems to have compounded the idiocracy into something so baffling there is no name for it. Just read some these comments. Thanks for uploading Robert.

Robert MacCready So, why would you title the video as such?

I miss him

Yep, lots of circling back.

Amazing turn of phrase, honestly. Very simple, but also profound due to how true it is. It seems he had a way of synthesizing humanities place in history in relation to the cosmic scale, and illustrating that juxtaposition with barely any effort, yet so much grace.. damn..

rod sims. Me too

When I get really depressed I convince myself that it's really worth staying around because I enjoy watching the wheels go round ! I enjoy watching Carlin but I cant give up on Jesus ! I know his opinion ! Funny guy ! But I bet he wishes now he didn't use blasphemy against God and or Jesus ! I'm sure to get a lot of smart ass comments from people who highly overate their own intelligence ! God Bless any and everyone who strives for a humble disposition ! And hopes for forgiveness through Jesus ! AMEN !!!

Joseph G Dave Chappel is a pretty smart guy too. Yeah Bill Maher also.

Joseph G Fucking Louis CK..

There's currently many brilliant comedians. I like Shumer, and Maher, Rock and CK are among the best.

2 words - john mulaney. thank me later.

Agree

Pryor made me laugh, but Carlin always made me think. Love them both dearly❤

Seinfeld freely admits Carlin was always head and shoulders above everybody in the room.

I see, this is an American only list...

this is from 1996. Says on the description

He may not have foreseen what was coming, but he did teach us how to react to it anyway. That's how far he could see into the future of mankind. Even though he has left us, he still is correct.....

Bryn The description does say 1996, but the title says 2016 Election. I was thinking this must be a true, current day Mandela effect! He died in 2008 and is putting out new material? Clickbate

@@andyroyes166 Yeah, he gave US the advice 20 years ago that is particularly applicable now. This was uploaded for those who didn't hear it or forgot about it. The title doesn't say "JC interview in 2016". It's not a clickbait. Try to understand what the title actually means next time.

Open your brain!

+Alex F Me too. People are reading too much into the title. Taking it too literally. Carlin's words are relevant to the 2016 election, the 2020 election, etc.

You meant the 2024 election :P

Kingscrib in a larger sense his words have an applicability to any election at any point in North American history.

Or you care so much, for so long, that you realize the futility in it, and you truly, do, stop.
