  1. Carlin was VERY clearly a leftist, in both the social and economic senses of the term, but I think you're overestimating the right's ability to understand comedy...and words...

  2.  @adamk.7177  He hated both parties because they were both far to his right.

  3. The overwhelming majority of who conservatives call leftists are STILL far to the right of Carlin.

  4. Most of the people they paint as far left are far to Carlin's right

  5. Hard to say. The far right has a LOT of competition for that title.

  6. Probably both.

  7. And then there's the bit about golf courses, where he literally (among calling it classist) advocated we stop calling homelessness homelessness, and call it "houselessness" instead, and then seize the golf courses to build low cost housing for the homeless in nice neighborhoods instead of letting the oligarchs who play on them use them as places to conspire to screw the rest of us over.

  8. He got into socialism about as overtly as he could get away with and still get on the air. He had an EXTREMELY strong and overt political alignment.

  9.  @squibble-vision  or the satanic panic...or when 2 men holding hands in public would be too much for people's sensibilities... The right has ALWAYS been the biggest purveyors of cancel culture. They're just whining that they are (for being bigots) getting a fraction of what they gave out to people just trying to live their lives and that corporations are pandering to anti-bigotry sentiments instead of bigoted sentiments because we're finally a larger market to virtue signal to. (Let's also not forget all the times they told us "a free market would discourage bigotry because people would just take their business elsewhere" and immediately flipped out as soon as that actually started happening for real)

  10. They do like to appropriate the reputations of socialists who they can get the public to forget were socialists.

  13.  @giokarp  you don't know shit about Carlin's politics is you think he was anything but a committed leftist

  14. Conservatives are scientifically proven to suck at knowing when they're the butt of the joke. I'm not even joking there. That's the real results of an actual study.
