They don’t want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they’re getting FUCKED by system that threw them overboard 30 fuckin’ years ago. They’re not interested in that, that doesn’t help them.
They don’t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They DON’T want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. Well, we know what they want - they want MORE for themselves and less for everybody else.īut I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying - lobbying to get what they want.
They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations they’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the State houses, the City Halls they’ve got the judges in their back pockets, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all the news and information you get to hear. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. The REAL owners, the BIG WEALTHY business interests that control things and make all the important decisions - forget the politicians. Because the owners of this country don’t want that. It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it, be happy with what you’ve got.

The greatest 3 minutes of his career, and the final 3 minutes of his career. George Carlin’s Final Words To The World… Allegedly the same media companies that make no objections to the gazillion copies of Carlin’s famous “7 words you can’t say on TV” routine online are issuing takedown notices every time somebody uploads this video to youtube or vimeo etc. This is starting to be seen all over my FB feed as people (finally!) start paying more attention to #occupywallstreet, which means I probably should have posted it when I first saw it on Pharyngula, because now I look all behind the curve.īelow the video is a transcript of the finala 2005 televised performance of by George Carlin ‘s career, sounding hugely relevant right now. It’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it George carlin tells it like it is! he is spot on! right on the money! now it is and it is more prevalent than ever! keep listening till this sink.Home › Sociology › culture wars › It’s called the American Dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it so i've made what i hope is a more readable version below, so this classic piece of polemical gold can be shared and understood more widely. the transcripts i could find always sucked. George carlin on the american dream (with transcript) this legendary rant is even better when read.
