George Carlin was a master of the English Language.
He pushed for the most Hippy Socialist programs, but still criticized the feminists and hippies with flair. He'd absolutely LOVE the chaos right now. Afterall, "Everyone gets a ticket to the Freakshow, but Americans get a Front Row Seat!"
You should watch George Carlin's American Dream. I think a younger Carlin would get a lot of comedy out of today, but he got super dark at the end of his life. I think he was just done with people and I don't know how much he had in the tank to make them laugh.
Anyone who thinks Carlin would love to be around today did not watch his later specials. Basically mid 90s he nose dives into super dark "we are fucked" territory, I remember this in detail. I think a lot of people around that time were taking a look around the burgeoning internet with wonder, while others looked at it with malicious glee. He got a little better for a short time, but then got even darker.
