I wish I was old enough to understand how fuckin' real Carlin was then.

This was an appearance by George Carlin on Bill Maher during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Listening to this is eerily similar to what is happening today. They also discuss looters as being the focus of government and media while disregarding the larger crisis that is going on.

The longer version is even better : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJK8geaxVCc

That one guy said, " The owners of this country are the voters of this country". Here is a good study to prove him wrong: https://www.vox.com/2014/4/18/5624310/martin-gilens-testing-theories-of-american-politics-explained

Trump has done everything to divide America and wouldn’t condemn alt right rallies spreading hatred and fear so it’s little wonder the result, that police feel emboldened to brutalise those who are deemed different. Even women’s rights are being rolled back. Society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable. Trump is a tyrant.

Corporate media during Katrina aftermath: when black people were taking things it was called looting. When white people were taking things it was called foraging.

Imagine if he was alive today.

We live in a world now where only comedians are permitted to tell the truth.
