George Carlin "It's a big club and you ain't in it" (2005)
"The table is tilted. The game is rigged. But no body seems to notice. No body seems to care."
George Carlin is living proof that it is possible to deliver hard hitting truths well in advance of when they are needed in a way which makes us laugh & applaud, rather than critisise & condemn. Now that truly is a skill.
Love & Light everyone 🌱

One of my favorite; thank you for reminding me how much I love George Carlin.
Don't know why I didn't think to post this till now. The clip fits so perfectly with what is happening in the world today.
Exactly 😳
Classic Carlin bit. I actually included this very piece of audio in a YT upload I did about 10 years ago. They pulled it down for copyright infringement, even though it was fair use. I never uploaded anyone else's material, but sometimes I used bits of audio or video for commentary or background. Very strange how they work. YT is part of the big club!
Kinda ironic hey. It's a big club and you ain't in it... And you will never even know these words without the permission & assistance of that very same big club (YT)!
Don't even get me started on YT. My most actively watched video is a meditation (for hair growth) and due to the music I chose they force people to watch multiple ads throughout the meditation. The number of angry comments I get from people every week is ridiculous. And kinda boring now. I don't bother responding any more.
Hahah, I hear that. I did 15 years of videos, and the biggest has always been from my first year, a video about cleaning silver jewelry and bullion. Over half a million views, most of them in the first 3 years. My entire channel was strangled the more truth I spoke over the years. The more times I was right (like about Bitcoin in 2013, fake cannabis legalization in 2014-2019, etc) the more they throttled my views, deleted my best videos, found ways to make copyright claims due to background music, and basically did everything but ban me. I have my own personal handler (probably CSIS and/or FBI) who accepts or declines every comment I make. My downvotes stopped counting in 2014 or so, my upvotes in about 2016. When I had no subscribers, I could do videos about whatever, and get 2500+ views. Now I can do a fully produced video on a popular topic, and it will get 200 views. Only a handful of chosen alternative media channels are allowed to be seen, and mine isn't one of them! It's hard to put in the effort anymore, knowing it isn't being seen.

I love George, he is bang on every time, I would love to hear what he would say today, probably "I told you so". Lots of love to you San and your beautiful family, wishing you all a magical Solstice xxxxx
Yes yes yes! Full moon solstice power! Thank you as always for the gentle reminder of this important moment in time which always seems to slip my attention. I taught the kids the difference between a solstice and an equinox a few months ago, so will give them a little test on their knowledge today :)
What would George say today? Something brilliant and unexpected no doubt.
Sending love xxx
I saw someone from our country posting a quote from this... today on hive :)
and recently I've being watching some reactions to G.Carlin's clips :D
had fun remembering one of the golden classics: SAVING THE PLANET :D
will accept that as living forever, because he is a legend ;)
It is good that he is so popular! Because this really is a great way to deliver an important message :)
Yes, but you know... nothing is by accident...
i traced back his career...and found out he's coming from interesting family...
and also his philosophical views are gifted from a friend of his...
This, among other Carlin gems, has been on loop in my mind for months now.
Yeah right, me too! Not sure why, but I suddenly felt the urge to hear them one more time yesterday while sharing them with everyone else at the same time ;)
I think I know the feeling. Sometimes the things he says seem so obvious... it almost becomes infuriating that others fail to see them so blatantly..
