George Carlin Would Be Vilified Today | Joe Rogan & Tim Pool

It's a problem, you know, like when you're thinking and talking at the same time there's a bunch of words bouncing around in your head and you're just trying to and you think you're saying the right thing when you Know it's that's why intent is so critical George Allen Yeah, and magic words are so fucking dangerous, you know, and that is what I'm gonna tell you about later Alright, yeah, you know about a specific comedian that we know and love. Well, George Carlin was Absolutely amazing. Well, he what he would not only was he absolutely amazing But people don't have to you you almost have to have lived during the time where he was getting arrested Like not like Lenny Bruce before him but to understand how significant he was when he was doing that seven dirty words You can't say on television like back then people like what the fuck is this guy doing? I was I was far left men skin tight black, you know shirts the virus You know the virus punk rock bands anti-flag things like that. I was trying to think of it's been so long I was trying to think of some of the band shirts we used to have and Man, we were we were angry and and pissed off all the time. I grew up like that And then over time I learned I went through a ton of really important life lessons One of the first and most important was I was a young skateboarder in Chicago really looked up to some of these these older guys We're really good. I went to Catholic school when I was younger ended up becoming this punk rocker guitar playing far left skin tight You know skateboarding angry. Yeah, no, no flags, you know, fuck the government And then I go to this dude's house was this really great skateboard He's got a picture of Jesus on the wall and I immediately scoff like I'm you know, hi mighty I was like like would you like a Christian or something and he goes no and I was like then why do you have a picture Of Jesus and he goes. Oh, I just thought like a story about a dude traveling around helping people was kind of cool and I went That's a good point. Wow. I was I was like, I was like, wow, maybe I don't really understand Maybe maybe this means something different to other people that means to me Well, if Jesus was an Indian man that you know had wooden beads and you know and and was a Hindu God We would love him, you know, it'd be like Shiva or Vishnu. We would we would think he's the most amazing thing ever It's the fact that if you look at what Jesus preached and what he was all about I mean seems pretty alright. I think it's about his spiritual and loving and it's it's about I mean his whole ideology that the Jesus of the Bible Yeah, and he was essentially about Loving your brother and treating people as if they're you and but this this for me like I bring this up because it was kind of Formative moment where all of a sudden I realized was my ideology predicated on assumptions Like was I was I holding these views because other people told me to hold them Right that I actually understand that there were some positive things on the other side And then I slowly moved over to more of a center left position. Yeah, and you know Now what the reason I bring this up is I looked I watched that video I tweeted this the video of George Carlin cuz man George Carlin was a I used to watch his videos My mom would put him on and my mom's been a hippie liberal far left all that stuff And you'd probably consider a conservative by today's, you know measures the way things have been going now They look at you know, Kevin Hart. He said a bad joke ten years ago Get him out like could you imagine I God forbid what would happen with George Carlin's routines today? They wouldn't they would be running all of his old routines saying no you have to ban him from the show He literally called these people the n-word Why was it that George Carlin go on stage and talk about how Republicans were dumb and how religion is crazy? He was clearly on the left his whole life and he said these things that by today's standards would be considered conservative Right and so for me, it's a weird thing to go from being on the far left as a young person It was around like 19 or 20 I started to become more moderate and then to see them today Being extremely offended like people used to be in the 50s and 60s
