a lot of these types from the 80s-90s got their fire from the wasp moral majority trying to shut down all the shit they liked and pushing their religious dogma on everyone. its the difference between hippies who grew up and embraced authoritarian tendencies vs those unwilling to give up on their personal liberty and conform. carlin was one of the rebels who made good points considering that he didnt know what the future looked like. those wasps really just seemed like assholes, trying to ban and censor music, movies, and so on. but they were desperately trying to avoid exactly the society we live in today. they lost. i would hope carlin would have a field day with the woke crowd, who are far worse than evangelicals yet occupy the same niche. that said, he would probably cuck out with all the money he made paving the way for them, whether he knew thats what would happen or not.
