Carlin's analysis of class and social issues in the US Empire was spot on. Philosopher-comedian in that order, especially in his later years. Would he be "cancelled" now? Yes, indirectly via wokeness and political correctness mandates imposed by legacy media. But that stick is getting old.

Yes it is ... old and brittle.

I certainly don't know for sure, but I bet in his prime, Carlin could have snuffed out all this politically correct woke lobotomized censorship in the crib. He would have been the first to point out how it is used to divide and conquer us all by getting us to squabble and nitpick, divide and shun and burn up our energy. It has been a brilliant tactic to mute and neuter the left.

Time to tell to f-off.

Unfortunately somewhat accurate, since Carlin would be branded a Nazi by the non-class conscious SJWs
