I wish he would've specified that it's Republicans that killed the American Dream. They are the corrupt party.

it makes the whole Vid even more intense.

Thank you!

ETA~ Learning from reading the thread that what Carlin said was used out of context.

So I wonder if he would be blaming "both sides" now?

The video in the OP took Carlin out of context, and although it ties in nicely with the images, it’s intellectually dishonest. As much as Carlin in the OP video gets liked by people here, his “save the planet” shtick might as well have been commentary right off of Fox News. Don’t do anything about the environment. Species die anyway. Carlin never bothered with the easy corollary that if species are threatened by humankind’s actions, then humankind can save them by acting differently. Carlin, however, would still be on the sideline scorning it all.

Carlin was not one of us. Carlin wasn’t a Democrat. He detested the Democratic Party. Frankly, I think he was an anarchist/nihilist. The second any kind of movement got organized, Carlin would call it a tool of “them” and treat it as something “they” were using to control us. He was the embodiment of both-siderism.

Frankly, I miss Robin Williams far more.

time public official. Was he just like those people they showed in this video ?

It's important to make differences clear.

I always hated the "all politicians lie and are the same" thing because it's lazy and an excuse for one's own selfish lack of concern for others.

Are far more likely to be Republicans, because it is the Republican system that allows them to maintain control and a sense of legitimacy.

Boo. He's lumping-in Democrats with that. This "both sides" bullshit needs to stop. It didn't serve us well in 2016, and it won't help us in 2020.
