He was a far leftist snd wouldve approved of the things happening today
I'm not so sure. He called political correctness 'fascism pretending to be manners', and in the later years of his life he made repeated complaints about how he didn't do college audiences anymore because they couldn't handle anything edgy.
He said 'nigger' on stage, he attacked feminism, decried 'pussification', told his audience that people who tried to control their language were in fact trying to control the way they think.
I think Carlin was a centrist with a contrarian streak that motivated him to always attack the popular thing. If he didn't grow old and die, I think he'd have found himself on the same political and intellectual journey many of us have made over the last decade.
