It's not just about USA, it never was! It's about all the others you're killing everyday through your murderous schemes pompously called foreign policy! And guess what, you can stop all this dehumanization!
Every year that passes this is becoming more and more evident. Somebody needs to take Carlin's place and enlighten and motivate the masses to take action.
I have a lot to say and a lot of ideas for how to make the world better, while trying to look at it all from an outside perspective, kind of what Carlin did... I just need to become famous somehow.. hmm.
Thanks. Well right now I'm just starting to write a book. We'll see how that goes. Oh, and I don't mean "famous" like I want to be famous. I just want people to listen of course.
The Wraith The way I deal with a problem might not be the same way you deal with it. I might look at a problem like a way to make money or create something. What I see is a fact it don't make me a difference on weather you see it that way or not. We all like by experience it isn't my fought that you or most of these people in life had bad experiences remember your mishaps in life is someone else's gain.
Not really. There has always been a small group of critical thinkers who know the government is lying and that we are being fucked over. Yes that small group is growing but it doesn't make a difference because the majority of people are still apathetic and still self absorbed. If you compare how many views a video like this gets to a stupid mainstream "UA-camr", it's astronomically different. Most people are content to stuff their fat face with food, work their shitty job, spend money they don't have on things they don't need, and believe the government is good and America is the good guy. People are waking up but it's not enough for change. People who are aware are just pegged crazy conspiracy nuts.
You're right. Like George said, "be happy with what ya got, 'cause they own this fucking place". Personally, I'm looking forward to my death. It's the ultimate freedom, and I'll welcome it.
+no name - about the looking forward to Death part - people think I'm nuts, they look at me like there's a tree growin' out of my head or some such shit - when I try to explain my belief that death is Not the End - It's the Beginning , the Ultimate Birth - am I scared - you bet - but in 73 years I've seen some shit - and I've read some shit - and I've conversed with some well informed, knowledgeable individuals - people who were dying were weighed and the soul, when it departs has a specific weight - I've seen, as long ago as the early '60's, when I was blaspheming and denying and cursing GOD, as an ignorant atheist, pictures, in a dark room, of an Orb - the Soul / Spirit, leaving the body, my wife was standing over her mother when she died, and she says she knew when her mother's spirit departed her body. We will be Free of All the Bull Shit of this world and the weaknesses of the body - It's gonna be incomprehensibly Wonderful - I came by my belief the hard way - don't wanna start no argument, but, I'm takin' those beliefs to the Grave with me - GOD BLESS You and Yours -- Who knows, we might be seein' one another down the "ROAD" --- Snortin' Morton
+no name --- P. S. what the point I was tryin ta make was - the Soul / Spirit is NOT molecular - and it DEFINITELY Moves On - it Does Not cease to exist - as does the body - this hunk of meat that is virtually a prison -- Nuff Said --- Snortin' Morton
I'd disagree. That's just George trying to hide his innate troublemaker tendencies. He is absolutely a cynic, he fits the definition. I don't hate the guy, but he was a cynic, let's not hide it.
@@collectiveconsciousness5314 Yeah. As far as I know he didn't physically hurt anyone. "All the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances. And one man in his time plays many parts." William Shakespeare
He used to appear on Bill Maher all the time. Matter of fact, that’s why I watch the show. He did this routine on his show and Bill Maher thought it was just that he was getting old. Boy was he wrong. Everything he says in this routine is happening right today.
Noam Chosmky has released a documentary on this (Called Requiem For The American Dream). The thing that kept popping up in my mind was this great piece by Carlin... Spot on.
Amazing. Not only did he have a massive grasp of the issues, but so little has changed since he delivered this monologue that he could perform it today with no rewrite.
This very well may be the best 3:14 performance in any medium. Ever. I can't even begin to imagine what he'd be saying right now. Holy hell, I miss this man!
The GREATEST comedian that ever lived. He had profound insight and described it in sometimes a profane way. I never cared that he did that because what he said was the TRUTH. If he were alive today he would be amazed at how prophetic he was. Rest in Peace, George Carlin and know there are so many who think you were brilliant!
To this day, I consider him my honorary political science lecturer. I also studied two semesters of political science at law school, formally taught by a former constitutional judge who also gave super lectures, but I feel I have learned so much more about the subject from Professor Carlin.
This should be daily viewing for every single person in this country. George was far ahead of his time with his viewpoints on EVERYTHING. Fucking brilliant man.
It’s 2021. I just turned 15 the 6th of December. I don’t want to be indoctrinated. It all starts with school, they train you to wake up and go work. I have taken other paths and other hobbies other than school and it’s made me money. I taught myself how to do these things that school would never teach anyone. America is killing its self from the inside out, and we are deteriorating.
I look back at comments 7 years ago, "This is more relevant than ever" and realize we're still just as ignorant, believing the lies and propaganda. Because every new generation is encouraged to forget and reject everything from before, and more importantly, develop short term memory and attention span. All we do as a society and civilization is continue to go through cycles where we repeat the past... "THERE IS NO REMEMBRANCE OF FORMER THINGS, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE ANY REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS TO COME, WITH THOSE WHO SHALL COME AFTER." (Ecclesiastes 1 : 11)
AMEN! I feel like the cycle is becoming less and less successful because we have technology that allows the younger generation to relive recent shortcomings like 9-11 and are able to wake up a little sooner from the nightmare of control that people are unwillingly stuck in. Sadly as a result newer generations are growing up in a state of hopelessness
One of the best stand up act ever!! He says the naked truth like he's gonna die tomorrow. In France,Dieudonné says the same kind of stuff and gets bashed by all the medias. That's a shame.
I was only 7 when this came out, I’m 20 years old now and everything this man said left me speechless, everything basically unfolding in front of our eyes and that part “no one seems to notice, no one seems to care” is so true cuz Americans talk about something for a week or two and go on with their lives like nothing happened
The Wraith I don’t know what your point is? Carlin made a lot of money but then he also lost a lot. His house had a lien on it when he accrued (and for 20 years paid off) $2 million tax debt. Because of it, he had to work and tour nonstop for decades. You seem to oversimplify the American Dream or even being an American.
@The Wraith yeah, a handful of people in the grand scheme of things live the "american dream" what about the rest? Or the people that worked just as hard but never made it? Also, dont give me the whole "pull yourself by your bootstraps kid" speech.
Imagine working for a company 20 years, spending all your time working for the boss, and neglecting your family. Then the boss retires, and do you get the CEO position? No. His son gets it. Now thing about how that happens to people to some extent every day. That’s why so many people are disillusioned with the American dream.
I can only imagine how doing this year in and year out wore Carlin down. Imagine, getting on stage every night and doing nothing but dropping constant truth bombs, only to have your audience go "omg he's right! Hahaha!" Only to go home and do nothing to change their lives or try to fix the situation.
I could feel him wearing down when he said "and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care". In my broader friend group I'm often met with blank stares when I try to discuss anything important or political, it does indeed wear one down. But, I know that's what THEY want in the end, the owners. And I'm gonna be a stubborn fuck and not serve them my apathy on a platter.
Carlin was correct, in one sense; it's not the politicians who are the ultimate problem. But, Carlin didn't go far enough. If you look at the chain of power, it's more like this: Us (the peons)
I love how Georges stage set up is based on a grave yard theme. He is basically saying to the powers that be "listen, i'm an old man now, i've had my time on this earth, i'm not afraid anymore and i'm going to speak the truth, what can you do to me now! I'm an old man, do your worst" So bless this guy, he spoke the truth and then checked out - and all it took was three short minutes and three short minutes is all the time that it takes for the truth to totally blow away all the lies that this corrupted world has to offer.
My dad showed me george carlin when i was just a kid in the 90s and as I got older I realized the depth of what he says and because of it I never fell for the bullshit thats spoon fed to me daily. Its good to see my fellow humans waking up and realizing that there turning us against eachother on purpose. Us common folk need to unite and hold the real criminals accountable before it's too late. This whole society of mass consumption for the sake of status is insane and very damaging for human technological advancement, cultural and spiritual evolution and the life expectancy of our delicate planet. Instead of mass producing three new iPhones a year these resources should be used to combat disease, cleaning sea water for aquatic species and for human consumption in the future and study the cosmos to dissect secrets of the universe.
George makes an excellent point about wanting people smart enough to run things, but NOT smart enough to rock the boat. Look at totalitarian countries. They don't arrest the engineers, chemists, software programmers, etc. They instead go after the authors, artists, sociologists, and critical thinkers.
It is also why they want people in debt up to their ears, especially with student loans and all other loans, so that you remain cooperative at allowing them to strangle-hold you so that you remain in fear of losing your job with the poor wages and benefits, because otherwise you won't be able to pay your bills. That is also why Hillary Clinton changed her vote on the bankruptcy bill, making it harder for people to file bankruptcy and keep you in a choke-hold so tight that it will likely be the death of you...but you will go along and do whatever the company says, so you can keep in that cycle of death.
Once again i was tying a comment and the computer shut off. What I was trying to say is it is clear the whole human race is being taken for a ride by "Them" and we will not be allowed to work together, will not be allowed to bring the Truth out - will not be allowed to build the inspired tech that could solve our climate problems and give our military what they want - total air & space domination with my war plane designs - said to be being rushed in to production by the CCC- much easier to control by our new/olde "Planetary Overlords" known as the reptile dysfunktion.
I believe stem students rank the smartest in school so they are smarter than those with sociology degrees and art degrees. Those people often end up jobless and people in the sociology department are a joke.
+ophello I love this piece so much. It's gotten to the point where George wasn't really trying to tell jokes, he was like "look, I'm gonna die soon most likely, so I'm going to fucking tell you verbatim what exactly is going on and you people need to realize it quick." Boy it makes me sad that he's not here to bring us joy and sensibility in these times. It also makes me sad that's he's not here to see Bernie trailblazing against the corporate business interests.
miss your presence on earth George.when people ask me my political/religious alignment,i reply:"I'm a Carlinist".wherever you are George,i hope i'll meet you there,still cracking jokes and opening eyes.
+Nuno Baptista - Umm, "he" is no where as such, if you're referring to the personality that he was. His brain and other body parts that as a sum = "him" no longer function as they did. The matter that they were constructed of has long since broken down into other forms. "He" is essentially dust/dirt/gas/energy now, spread all out around the world, and space. "He" cannot hear you speaking to "him" as it has long lost that ability. Welcome to death. Seems, for as much as you claim to appreciate him for what he was, you didn't actually learn much of what he had to say.
9ff70f96 belief is a matter of choice.and the Thought Police isn't around yet.if by reducing dead people to mere particles let's you continue with your interpretation of what is life and living,by all means.nobody here is judging you.
+Nuno Baptista - Belief is not reality. You are free to believe whatever you want, but in doing so, that does not necessarily make it true. If you want to understand life then you look at it and study it. There is no imagination involved. The facts are presented to you to observe and realise. If you choose to ignore those facts to believe something else then you are only deluding yourself. As for what life is about - that is easy enough: It's not about anything as such beyond mere survival. That's all there is to it. If you understand evolution then you will come to realise why it is we, including all other life, exists in the way it does. It's actually pretty simple to understand but takes discipline to counter the deceptions your mind will otherwise produce as it tries to convince itself that some other, preferable, scenario is the truth. To me, given your comment, it sounds very much like you fall into the latter category here. You need to realise that "you" are no more than the matter and energy that makes up you, and that this system, "you", will only continue to function, to exist, for so long as the system keeps operating. Once some essential component of you fails, the system will fail, and "you" will cease to be. "You" are but the light emitted from a light bulb, supplied with energy to shine for so long as all the systems involved necessary to sustain the light remain operative. As soon as an essential part of the system fails to maintain that light, that light will go out, and all you'll have left remaining is the parts that made up that system which, if left to decompose, will become the exact same as George Carlin here: dust/dirt/energy, spread all out around the world, and space. Where did the light go? You have a short amount of time in which to live, in which time you should spend finding mates to reproduce with. Nurture your offspring while you have the strength, grow tired and die, and hope your offspring manage to do the same. If you don't manage this task, don't worry, it's not your fault, it's just natural selection at work. Understand this and you'll be on your way to understanding life.
9ff70f96 and you choose to waist your "short amount of time in which to live" typing a essay on YT.if you truly believe in all that,why waist ANY of your time on the internet?go make babies.
+Nuno Baptista - Essay? I'm not that slow at typing. And continuous efforts at reproduction are not usual amongst species - the act is typically enacted periodically between work, rest, and play, and the reason for that is because that is what natural selection selected as being the most optimum to produce a viable continuation of the life cycle. It also takes time to produce more sperm for reproduction, and eggs ready to receive them, neither of which happen instantaneously. Ultimately, there are many factors involved as to produce an answer as to "why". I'm guessing that such complexities are probably beyond your capability to understand currently, so, best you do a bit more thinking and learning about things for yourself before you go asking others for their answers to your question so that you don't have to. But, to give a brief answer as to why I bother to type this to you (and others that may read it): The answer is that I might effect some people to start being honest with themselves, to stop living as fools in denial, for the benefit of us all. People should know the truth about life as that way we are far-better equipped to make sound judgement about things that relate to it, to create a better world because of it, than to live as hoards of ignorant fools with the resultant consequences to us all that that entails. Now, kindly fuck off, and go and learn something, if you really do care to know the truth.
Sheeple are so irritating. They laugh and cheer for what he’s saying yet they aren’t processing it. Most people in the US are like this, most of YOU are like this.
@@r2d2musk6 Basically ... Trump's Emergency Declaration authorized governors to lockdown their states. People were stuck at home and had plenty of time to research that COVID was not a naturally occurring virus but, instead, a bioweapon created in a gain-of-function lab that Fauci authorized and paid for with our tax dollars. This led to people learning about the UN and WEF's absolutely maniacal Great Reset agenda, which includes, not only enslaving the people but depopulating the overwhelming majority of the sheeple in the process.
The American Dream(TM) is just making money and climbing the social ladder. It's based on "those who scream the loudest get the mostest", "grab all the attention and glory and cheers and peer adoration you can", and to hell with everybody else. Even worse, you're a chump if you don't make that the focus of your life - even if you DO have more than your fair share of material success. After all, if you ARE good enough to grab all that you are OBLIGATED to grab all that!! That's not my version of The American Dream. My idea of it is human dignity for all, and live however you want as long as you're not cruel or callous to others.
nah..its who kisses the most ass gets the most..i kiss no ass and i don't move up the ladder..i don't mind because i don't want to be up there with all those ass kissing assholes.
DefianceGal Good point about ass-kissing. I was thinking more along the lines of how they 'brand' themselves. But I'm not in an ego battle here, so I concede your well-made point.
Thelonestar Pelican I have been through it ..been fired for not kissing any ass lol..lost the best damn worker they had though. I see it as their loss and now they have the laziest people there ha! Yeah it's ok..people think they are the most important people on the planet just to make themselves feel better. I'm not in an ego battle either..just discussing :)
@@thelonestarpelican9343 You don't get to redefine "The American Dream" based on your feels, asshole. It's a country on stolen land, built with stolen labour. The only people who dreamt of that are the ones who did the stealing.
@@fun_ghoul You mean conquered right? Many other nations in the Eastern Hemisphere were made based on that (like all of N. Africa and the present Levant) as well but nothing is being said about them and they were even older. With that being said, I do agree that America was a mistake, especially since it got (((subverted))) so easily.
Laughter is our way of expressing emotion when we don't know how to react. It's instinctive within our species. Comedians make their living by saying stuff that's so real and common place. but making it humorous and light hearted. True comedians take you on a journey, like a story. There is a point and a theme. George Carlin is the man.
I saw GC years ago when I used to frequent the political comedy scenes, he was incredible. Miss him. This is by far one of the best comedy routines he ever gave. R.I.P GC. Love ya.
To my fellow Americans, Please vote for 2022, 2024💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. The GOP plans to come after ACA, Social Security, and Medicare! We are on the road to Fascism! I watch HBO George Carlin's American Dream Part2, and the last 10 minutes are heartbreaking and true!
He said this, he died, and its happening right now and they’re still trying take our social security. Here is were it really gets scary. Why was he allowed to tell us this? Well there seems to be some kind of rule that we have to be told first. That is what has happened. George Carlin’s most popular skit has been played so many times everywhere to make sure you get the message. George Carlin has died and every thing he said is happening NOW.
"But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason it will never, ever, EVER be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got. Because the owners, the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the BIG owners! The Wealthy… the REAL owners! The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don’t want: They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests. That's right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that! You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shitty jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this fucking place! It's a big club, and you ain’t in it! You, and I, are not in the big club. By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care! Good honest hard-working people; white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich c@ck suckers who don’t give a fuck about you….they don’t give a fuck about you… they don’t give a FUCK about you. They don’t care about you at all… at all… AT ALL. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That's what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick thats being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth. It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it." - George Carlin. Life Is Worth Losing - November 5, 2005, Beacon Theater, New York City, New York.

Naysayers overlook it because he was a comedian... but George was absolutely right. And he's still right even after his death.
Noam Chosmky has released a documentary on this (Called Requiem For The American Dream).
The thing that kept popping up in my mind was this great piece by Carlin... Spot on.
2020 and this have never ever been more relevant.
They didn't call him "the thinking man's comedian" for nothing.
Truth that everyone is too afraid too tell.
They should play this instead of the National Anthem at sporting events.
That's not gonna happen and even if it's played no one is gonna fuck abt it as people don't really seem to care as time passes by
but how else are you gonna brainwash idiots without the national anthem at a sporting event??
Welcome to the The United Banks of America!
I sued Bank of America and won. I do not Google+ so comment here if one words in the know.
most underrated comment lmfaooo
@@YsudolY what bank you use now and why did you do that?
George carlin was worth ten million dollars for talking he literally is the American dream
Hell... i can top that...how about welcome to The Divided States of America
R.I.P. George Carlin
Amazing. Not only did he have a massive grasp of the issues, but so little has changed since he delivered this monologue that he could perform it today with no rewrite.
This very well may be the best 3:14 performance in any medium. Ever.
I can't even begin to imagine what he'd be saying right now. Holy hell, I miss this man!
The GREATEST comedian that ever lived. He had profound insight and described it in sometimes a profane way. I never cared that he did that because what he said was the TRUTH. If he were alive today he would be amazed at how prophetic he was. Rest in Peace, George Carlin and know there are so many who think you were brilliant!
To this day, I consider him my honorary political science lecturer. I also studied two semesters of political science at law school, formally taught by a former constitutional judge who also gave super lectures, but I feel I have learned so much more about the subject from Professor Carlin.
This should be daily viewing for every single person in this country. George was far ahead of his time with his viewpoints on EVERYTHING. Fucking brilliant man.
A message delivered 10-15 years early. Virtually every point he made was timeless and predictive. Hard not to call him a prophet...
Maybe 100 to 200 years too late
It’s 2021. I just turned 15 the 6th of December.
I don’t want to be indoctrinated. It all starts with school, they train you to wake up and go work. I have taken other paths and other hobbies other than school and it’s made me money. I taught myself how to do these things that school would never teach anyone. America is killing its self from the inside out, and we are deteriorating.
Keep thinking for yourself and listen to all sides
And nice comment.. respect
The way he says “its called the american dream cause you’ve gotta be asleep to believe it” is chilling
I look back at comments 7 years ago, "This is more relevant than ever" and realize we're still just as ignorant, believing the lies and propaganda. Because every new generation is encouraged to forget and reject everything from before, and more importantly, develop short term memory and attention span. All we do as a society and civilization is continue to go through cycles where we repeat the past...
"THERE IS NO REMEMBRANCE OF FORMER THINGS, NEITHER SHALL THERE BE ANY REMEMBRANCE OF THINGS TO COME, WITH THOSE WHO SHALL COME AFTER."
(Ecclesiastes 1 : 11)
🎯
AMEN! I feel like the cycle is becoming less and less successful because we have technology that allows the younger generation to relive recent shortcomings like 9-11 and are able to wake up a little sooner from the nightmare of control that people are unwillingly stuck in. Sadly as a result newer generations are growing up in a state of hopelessness
One of the best stand up act ever!! He says the naked truth like he's gonna die tomorrow. In France,Dieudonné says the same kind of stuff and gets bashed by all the medias. That's a shame.
I was only 7 when this came out, I’m 20 years old now and everything this man said left me speechless, everything basically unfolding in front of our eyes and that part “no one seems to notice, no one seems to care” is so true cuz Americans talk about something for a week or two and go on with their lives like nothing happened
Every time I listen to this, it's just awesome because it's so true
Carlin to me represented the Mark Twain of our time. He was a great American. He told us the cold harsh truth and didn't hold back.
This is the realest thing I've ever heard. RIP The Great George Carlin
Prophetic and beyond scary. We're living in the nightmare.
Unplug from the matrix.
@The Wraith Did you really just type that, idiot? Think more, talk less.
@The Wraith Because it isn't. All that is debt-based currency issued by the non-federal reserve.
Sure but... then what? “nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care” becomes all the more obvious. It’s depressing af tbh...
The Wraith I don’t know what your point is? Carlin made a lot of money but then he also lost a lot. His house had a lien on it when he accrued (and for 20 years paid off) $2 million tax debt. Because of it, he had to work and tour nonstop for decades. You seem to oversimplify the American Dream or even being an American.
@The Wraith yeah, a handful of people in the grand scheme of things live the "american dream" what about the rest? Or the people that worked just as hard but never made it? Also, dont give me the whole "pull yourself by your bootstraps kid" speech.
Imagine working for a company 20 years, spending all your time working for the boss, and neglecting your family. Then the boss retires, and do you get the CEO position? No. His son gets it. Now thing about how that happens to people to some extent every day. That’s why so many people are disillusioned with the American dream.
"It's called the American Dream, coz you have to be asleep to believe it."
I can only imagine how doing this year in and year out wore Carlin down. Imagine, getting on stage every night and doing nothing but dropping constant truth bombs, only to have your audience go "omg he's right! Hahaha!" Only to go home and do nothing to change their lives or try to fix the situation.
Well there isn't much we can do about
I could feel him wearing down when he said "and nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care". In my broader friend group I'm often met with blank stares when I try to discuss anything important or political, it does indeed wear one down.
But, I know that's what THEY want in the end, the owners. And I'm gonna be a stubborn fuck and not serve them my apathy on a platter.
This is a Lenny Bruce type dialogue not meant for laughs but to expose brutal honesty. I'm so glad he did this.
Carlin was correct, in one sense; it's not the politicians who are the ultimate problem. But, Carlin didn't go far enough. If you look at the chain of power, it's more like this: Us (the peons)
this thing can go on even further
***** your work, your friends, your family, yourself...

shittier jobs, lower pay, longer hours, so true.
Brilliant man, brilliant rants! Thanks George, for saying it like it is! I'm sorry you're not still with us, thankfully your performances still are.
Truer words have NEVER been spoken. Carlin💜 #restinpower
I love how Georges stage set up is based on a grave yard theme. He is basically saying to the powers that be "listen, i'm an old man now, i've had my time on this earth, i'm not afraid anymore and i'm going to speak the truth, what can you do to me now! I'm an old man, do your worst" So bless this guy, he spoke the truth and then checked out - and all it took was three short minutes and three short minutes is all the time that it takes for the truth to totally blow away all the lies that this corrupted world has to offer.
One of the funnest men who ever did stand up. but if you know George he was dead serious about this subject.
I honestly think it was never comedy, just the platform that would let him speak the truth.
My dad showed me george carlin when i was just a kid in the 90s and as I got older I realized the depth of what he says and because of it I never fell for the bullshit thats spoon fed to me daily. Its good to see my fellow humans waking up and realizing that there turning us against eachother on purpose. Us common folk need to unite and hold the real criminals accountable before it's too late. This whole society of mass consumption for the sake of status is insane and very damaging for human technological advancement, cultural and spiritual evolution and the life expectancy of our delicate planet. Instead of mass producing three new iPhones a year these resources should be used to combat disease, cleaning sea water for aquatic species and for human consumption in the future and study the cosmos to dissect secrets of the universe.
George makes an excellent point about wanting people smart enough to run things, but NOT smart enough to rock the boat. Look at totalitarian countries. They don't arrest the engineers, chemists, software programmers, etc. They instead go after the authors, artists, sociologists, and critical thinkers.
It is also why they want people in debt up to their ears, especially with student loans and all other loans, so that you remain cooperative at allowing them to strangle-hold you so that you remain in fear of losing your job with the poor wages and benefits, because otherwise you won't be able to pay your bills. That is also why Hillary Clinton changed her vote on the bankruptcy bill, making it harder for people to file bankruptcy and keep you in a choke-hold so tight that it will likely be the death of you...but you will go along and do whatever the company says, so you can keep in that cycle of death.
Once again i was tying a comment and the computer shut off. What I was trying to say is it is clear the whole human race is being taken for a ride by "Them" and we will not be allowed to work together, will not be allowed to bring the Truth out - will not be allowed to build the inspired tech that could solve our climate problems and give our military what they want - total air & space domination with my war plane designs - said to be being rushed in to production by the CCC- much easier to control by our new/olde "Planetary Overlords" known as the reptile dysfunktion.
@@CabinFever52 it seems to me only japan, germany, and nortern european countries have any sense left in their heads.
jack johnson that’s because no matter how smart, any one can be brainwashed to believe the system they have works, even if it clearly doesn’t.
I believe stem students rank the smartest in school so they are smarter than those with sociology degrees and art degrees. Those people often end up jobless and people in the sociology department are a joke.
The world needed George Carlin.
This is legendary stuff. He is so right about the system and folks and everything. I would like to make/hear a song with this. Great rythm.
"Its a big club, and you ain't in it" classic
What got me optimistic about this video is the 4.7 million views and my belief that the vast majority who viewed agree with it.
The American dream only exists when your asleep
- George Carlin
I think this line sums it up perfectly
"They got ya by the balls"
More the ending line really.
Nobody seems to notice, nobody seems to care. I pray to George Carlin.
Amen!!!!!! What a talent and brain. Truth over politics, money, greed, power or YOU. I miss this man. One of the greatest of all time!!!!
As brilliant now as it was then. What an incredible monologue. I wonder if this will become his legacy.
+ophello I love this piece so much. It's gotten to the point where George wasn't really trying to tell jokes, he was like "look, I'm gonna die soon most likely, so I'm going to fucking tell you verbatim what exactly is going on and you people need to realize it quick."
Boy it makes me sad that he's not here to bring us joy and sensibility in these times. It also makes me sad that's he's not here to see Bernie trailblazing against the corporate business interests.
In light of the recent Tax Bill passing, Never have truer words ever been spoken. RIP George
thrillhouse1980 Is that really what it took to awaken you? You’ve still a long way to go.
George would have loved Bernie.
2023 and this message is louder than ever. Anybody tired of it? Yeah...
The greatest 3 minutes on You Tube.
This video deserves an exception to a single thumbs up. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for always making me laugh and for speaking the truth... Rest In Peace My Brother... God Bless... Rico
Watching this during the 2020 Presidential Election. November 5, 2020.
This has aged very gracefully.
It’s 2021 anyone else really feeling this?
2021: TRUTH
all these words he is saying is the most truthful and painful thing you will ever hear 😞
Mind blowing of how current this is!!!
You see his shadow like oh but there’s more to businesses
spoken like a true realist. seeing the world for what it is. everything he said in his comedy acts were completely true and too damn funny.
miss your presence on earth George.when people ask me my political/religious alignment,i reply:"I'm a Carlinist".wherever you are George,i hope i'll meet you there,still cracking jokes and opening eyes.
+Nuno Baptista - Umm, "he" is no where as such, if you're referring to the personality that he was. His brain and other body parts that as a sum = "him" no longer function as they did. The matter that they were constructed of has long since broken down into other forms. "He" is essentially dust/dirt/gas/energy now, spread all out around the world, and space. "He" cannot hear you speaking to "him" as it has long lost that ability.
Welcome to death.
Seems, for as much as you claim to appreciate him for what he was, you didn't actually learn much of what he had to say.
9ff70f96 belief is a matter of choice.and the Thought Police isn't around yet.if by reducing dead people to mere particles let's you continue with your interpretation of what is life and living,by all means.nobody here is judging you.
+Nuno Baptista - Belief is not reality. You are free to believe whatever you want, but in doing so, that does not necessarily make it true.
If you want to understand life then you look at it and study it. There is no imagination involved. The facts are presented to you to observe and realise. If you choose to ignore those facts to believe something else then you are only deluding yourself.
As for what life is about - that is easy enough: It's not about anything as such beyond mere survival. That's all there is to it. If you understand evolution then you will come to realise why it is we, including all other life, exists in the way it does. It's actually pretty simple to understand but takes discipline to counter the deceptions your mind will otherwise produce as it tries to convince itself that some other, preferable, scenario is the truth. To me, given your comment, it sounds very much like you fall into the latter category here.
You need to realise that "you" are no more than the matter and energy that makes up you, and that this system, "you", will only continue to function, to exist, for so long as the system keeps operating. Once some essential component of you fails, the system will fail, and "you" will cease to be. "You" are but the light emitted from a light bulb, supplied with energy to shine for so long as all the systems involved necessary to sustain the light remain operative. As soon as an essential part of the system fails to maintain that light, that light will go out, and all you'll have left remaining is the parts that made up that system which, if left to decompose, will become the exact same as George Carlin here: dust/dirt/energy, spread all out around the world, and space. Where did the light go?
You have a short amount of time in which to live, in which time you should spend finding mates to reproduce with. Nurture your offspring while you have the strength, grow tired and die, and hope your offspring manage to do the same. If you don't manage this task, don't worry, it's not your fault, it's just natural selection at work. Understand this and you'll be on your way to understanding life.
9ff70f96 and you choose to waist your "short amount of time in which to live" typing a essay on YT.if you truly believe in all that,why waist ANY of your time on the internet?go make babies.
+Nuno Baptista - Essay? I'm not that slow at typing. And continuous efforts at reproduction are not usual amongst species - the act is typically enacted periodically between work, rest, and play, and the reason for that is because that is what natural selection selected as being the most optimum to produce a viable continuation of the life cycle. It also takes time to produce more sperm for reproduction, and eggs ready to receive them, neither of which happen instantaneously. Ultimately, there are many factors involved as to produce an answer as to "why". I'm guessing that such complexities are probably beyond your capability to understand currently, so, best you do a bit more thinking and learning about things for yourself before you go asking others for their answers to your question so that you don't have to.
But, to give a brief answer as to why I bother to type this to you (and others that may read it): The answer is that I might effect some people to start being honest with themselves, to stop living as fools in denial, for the benefit of us all. People should know the truth about life as that way we are far-better equipped to make sound judgement about things that relate to it, to create a better world because of it, than to live as hoards of ignorant fools with the resultant consequences to us all that that entails.
Now, kindly fuck off, and go and learn something, if you really do care to know the truth.
Here it is August 2021 and this is still spot on. George Carlin was very wise and funny.
Only video I've ever seen that brings the far left and far right together.
That says something.
Sheeple are so irritating. They laugh and cheer for what he’s saying yet they aren’t processing it. Most people in the US are like this, most of YOU are like this.
I think COVID was the final wake-up call for many people. Americans are getting back to basics and are focusing on parallel societies.
@@modernretroradio993 Expand?
@@r2d2musk6 Basically ... Trump's Emergency Declaration authorized governors to lockdown their states. People were stuck at home and had plenty of time to research that COVID was not a naturally occurring virus but, instead, a bioweapon created in a gain-of-function lab that Fauci authorized and paid for with our tax dollars.
This led to people learning about the UN and WEF's absolutely maniacal Great Reset agenda, which includes, not only enslaving the people but depopulating the overwhelming majority of the sheeple in the process.
Oh .. almost forgot:
Allegedly.
George was right look at the definition of Plutocracy and tell me we don't live in one
Pfft. You're looking to make fine distinctions between "good capitalism" and "bad capitalism". Watch the video again, FFS.
steve corser You also live in a cryptocracy.
Genius. This 3 minute piece by George Carlin, chnage
george was spot on back then
The American Dream(TM) is just making money and climbing the social ladder. It's based on "those who scream the loudest get the mostest", "grab all the attention and glory and cheers and peer adoration you can", and to hell with everybody else. Even worse, you're a chump if you don't make that the focus of your life - even if you DO have more than your fair share of material success. After all, if you ARE good enough to grab all that you are OBLIGATED to grab all that!! That's not my version of The American Dream. My idea of it is human dignity for all, and live however you want as long as you're not cruel or callous to others.
nah..its who kisses the most ass gets the most..i kiss no ass and i don't move up the ladder..i don't mind because i don't want to be up there with all those ass kissing assholes.
DefianceGal Good point about ass-kissing. I was thinking more along the lines of how they 'brand' themselves. But I'm not in an ego battle here, so I concede your well-made point.
Thelonestar Pelican I have been through it ..been fired for not kissing any ass lol..lost the best damn worker they had though. I see it as their loss and now they have the laziest people there ha! Yeah it's ok..people think they are the most important people on the planet just to make themselves feel better. I'm not in an ego battle either..just discussing :)
@@thelonestarpelican9343 You don't get to redefine "The American Dream" based on your feels, asshole. It's a country on stolen land, built with stolen labour. The only people who dreamt of that are the ones who did the stealing.
@@fun_ghoul You mean conquered right? Many other nations in the Eastern Hemisphere were made based on that (like all of N. Africa and the present Levant) as well but nothing is being said about them and they were even older.
With that being said, I do agree that America was a mistake, especially since it got (((subverted))) so easily.
12 years later and even more accurate today
Laughter is our way of expressing emotion when we don't know how to react. It's instinctive within our species. Comedians make their living by saying stuff that's so real and common place. but making it humorous and light hearted. True comedians take you on a journey, like a story. There is a point and a theme. George Carlin is the man.
I saw GC years ago when I used to frequent the political comedy scenes, he was incredible. Miss him. This is by far one of the best comedy routines he ever gave. R.I.P GC. Love ya.
Clever stuff...he said it all and just in a few words.
“They tell you to follow your dreams because once you wake up it’s over for them” -Me
Miss this guy so much. I still replay these videos to remind me how much he was right. He lives on in these videos and our hearts!

obviously aged and a bit less physically exciting, but he's still got it, and he still speaks the truth. miss him.

More relevant today than ever...
Fuck was this dude right
When I grew up, I thought that he was telling jokes. Now I realize that he was just telling the truth...

To my fellow Americans, Please vote for 2022, 2024💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. The GOP plans to come after ACA, Social Security, and Medicare!
We are on the road to Fascism!
I watch HBO George Carlin's American Dream Part2, and the last 10 minutes are heartbreaking and true!
He said this, he died, and its happening right now and they’re still trying take our social security.
Here is were it really gets scary. Why was he allowed to tell us this? Well there seems to be some kind of rule that we have to be told first. That is what has happened. George Carlin’s most popular skit has been played so many times everywhere to make sure you get the message. George Carlin has died and every thing he said is happening NOW.
I was wondering the same thing. I was thinking that they should have more control over him. It seems suspicious...
The CIA probably killed Carlin for speaking out against the establishment
"But there’s a reason. There’s a reason. There’s a reason for this, there’s a reason education SUCKS, and it’s the same reason it will never, ever, EVER be fixed. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got.
Because the owners, the owners of this country don't want that. I'm talking about the real owners now, the BIG owners! The Wealthy… the REAL owners! The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.
Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice! You have OWNERS! They OWN YOU. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls.
They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying, to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I'll tell you what they don’t want:
They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them. That's against their interests.
That's right. They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and think about how badly they’re getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago. They don’t want that!
You know what they want? They want obedient workers. Obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shitty jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it, and now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it. They’ll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this fucking place! It's a big club, and you ain’t in it! You, and I, are not in the big club.
By the way, it's the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe. All day long beating you over the head with their media telling you what to believe, what to think and what to buy. The table has tilted folks. The game is rigged and nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care! Good honest hard-working people; white collar, blue collar it doesn’t matter what color shirt you have on. Good honest hard-working people continue, these are people of modest means, continue to elect these rich c@ck suckers who don’t give a fuck about you….they don’t give a fuck about you… they don’t give a FUCK about you.
They don’t care about you at all… at all… AT ALL. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care. That's what the owners count on. The fact that Americans will probably remain willfully ignorant of the big red, white and blue dick thats being jammed up their assholes everyday, because the owners of this country know the truth.
It's called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it." - George Carlin.
