Let's hear it from George Carlin, the Nostradamus of comedy

[Tummer]

From 1999. NSFW (very strong language, it's Carlin)

I like Carlin but why is he Nostradamus?

 

[Tummer]

Darran, did you watch the clip?

Another shouty look at me look at me yank.

The world is full of them.

Carlin hated rightwing americans, he would have laughed at their failed predictions that trump would win easily in 2020

He would have called them Nostradumbass

 

[Darran]

Darran, did you watch the clip?

Yes how is he Nostradamus?

I'm guessing the anti-vaxxers are saying his bit about germs can be applied to the situation with covid. Which completely misses the point of his routine for me.

This trend of trying to claim dead celebrities would agree with political agendas is particularly troubling, the recent attempt to claim Pratchett as 'one of them' was laughable.

Yeah but a lot of what he says has been continuous for years.
For him to be him to be Nostradamus there would have had to have been nothing from 1999 to 2021.
Wouldn’t it?

He was liberal and counterculture, which is the opposite of the contemporary left wing. The left wing that embraces censorship and identity politics.

If Carlin was alive today and did that routine, leftist fascists would call him a right wing extremist spreading dangerous misinformation.

Well if he did that routine during a pandemic, he would be spreading dangerous misinformation. Thankfully he was an intelligent man and would likely have done nothing of the sort. He'd almost certainly be disgusted that the far right anti-vax loonies were somehow citing him as backing their ludicrous nonsense. Be great if the far right loonies could actually find someone famous who is still alive to back up their conspiracy theories. :lol:

The thought of far right Texan Tums loving up to the likes of Carlin just sums up the world in 2021. :lol:

"leftist fascists"

Fuck off you terminal clown.

It's hilarious. They go on about liberal celebrities and how their views mean nothing, yet they're desperate to find some credible celebrities that share their views. I don't know why they keep trying to adopt dead people who can't articulate how wrong they are (although their family members usually do a fine job), when they've already got such stable geniuses as James Woods, Roseanne Barr, Stephen Baldwin and Gina Carano on their side...

Edgy.

f**k off you terminal clown.

Truth hurts, doesn't it numbnuts?

Obviosusly though, your counterpoint seems to lack any hint of substance. Might want to try to rub a couple brain cells together and work on that, Adolf.
