This last election probably would have killed him. Our society in general has hit such a point with regard to politics, SJW's, entitlement issues, etc. that I don't know if he could have handled talking about it without getting hit with an aneurysm. He had a strong character, but everyone can be broken. :lol

I agree he would have hated both the Alt Right and the SJW's with a fiery passion. However, there's no way they would've broken him. He and a friend of his used to actually go chasing disasters to look at the bodies. That was a real thing. He sincerely liked mass death. There's no way he'd be broken by hyper-sensitive children and wacky fundamentalists.

Not sure how anyone finds this entertaining. (celebrating mass death)

And the "I hate humanity" crap is always BS. You'd check out if you did. He had no problem become quite rich off of us morons. (roll.....eyes.....)


I've heard funny stuff from him, but this aint it.

He never said that he hated humanity. He just liked to watch them die. Also, there's absolutely no contradiction in profiting from humanity, and simultaneously enjoying it when large numbers of them die at once. You might not like it, but that's irrelevant. He can do both.

As for how people can find it entertaining, I can only speak for myself. If you listen to "I Kind of Like It When A Lot of People Die", George says,

"The only thing I care about is fun. That's all; entertainment... A good show. The way I look at it, that's the only reason I'm here on earth: the entertainment. Philosophers say, 'Why are we here', and I tell them I'm here for the fun. What else could it be? I'm not here to grow crops, I'm not here to build bridges, I'm not here to atone for my sins or help my fellow man, and I'm certainly not here to worry and suffer and sweat. I'm here to see the ****ing show.

To me the world is one big theatrical production. A long running show. A big round ball revolving around a big round sun. Theater in the round. It's all a big show and when you're born they give you a free ticket... Enjoy it now! There's no second show. Especially the big disasters...

...What is there to care about besides friends, and family, and being crazy in love and eating a ****ing hot dog? Nothing else matters. It's all ********. The rest of it is all ********. And the more you think it matters, the more power you give it, and the more power you give it, the more it takes control of you. And the more it takes control of you, the less fun you have, and the more you find yourself running around the shopping mall looking for a dust buster and a salad shooter, trying to find a sale so you can use your credit card and get some extra mileage points so you can get a cheap flight to Cancun with all the other people who aren't having any ****ing fun."

Why do I find it funny? Because most people are boring, and subservient. They're willing to waste their lives running on a treadmill as servants, distracting themselves with consumer items and 2 week vacations while they rent themselves for decades at a time. Ironically, these are the same idealistic people who tell you that life is precious. It's ironic. And when you lack solemnity, laughing at mass death even as an anonymous stranger on a message board, normal people chime in that, implicitly, there must be something wrong with you. Meanwhile, they're renting themselves to survive, obeying the rules, not having any fun.

George tells us that our fear of mortality leads to subservience, and that subservience isn't any fun. So enjoy mass death, take chances, and break the rules! If you stop worrying about mortality, you're better off. Longevity is meaningless, if you're not having any fun.
 
Mostly agree with the last 2 sentences.

In all seriousness, you can't solely stop worrying about YOUR mortality, but worry about everyone else's and still have fun. Not really. If everyone worries about everyone else's mortality, you end up creating a risk-averse culture that, for people like myself, isn't any fun.

I'm not trying to persuade you, because I think these sorts of things are subjective. Fun is subjective. However, for George's demographic, people who hate authority usually hate the kinds of paternalism that are explicitly created to keep us safe. Social deviants hate rules for a reason, and George was a deviant. So that's why people find George's later stuff funny: He appeals to deviants.
 
One current comedian that I like is Doug Stanhope. If you like Carlin, you might like him:
