Oh no doubt about it. But then he would see stuff like the freak out over Critical race theory and how abortion is on the verge of being banned and focus on who needs to be made fun of more.

Ngl every clip I see of this guy comes of as a stereotypical old guy yelling about random crap he doesn't like. I never saw the appeal, but lots of people seem to think think he's hilarious, but somehow also a deep philosopher.

He's wrong about shellshock.

Admittedly PTSD is a pretty clinical name, but it isn't limited to soldiers ergo the original name is wildly inaccurate.

"There's no shame in the word 'cripple' that I can find in any dictionary!"

Not really how it works, George.

I haven't watched the whole thing yet, I just remembered the PTSD thing and that was the first sentence I heard when I started the video.

Is this going to be one of those topics where certain folks try to "claim" him for their side? He railed on PC culture, but also right wing hypocrisy. He has criticized both feminists and toxic masculinity. He saw the bullshit from all sides and commented on it.

Don't like how people are trying to write him off as just "another white man ranting" either.

While that is part of his appeal, I feel like people think he was only that because those clips of him are the ones most shared around. He did more traditional or lighthearted comedy too, especially in his older stuff.

I've heard he shifted to the angry guy style later in his career. But I've quite literally never seen somebody share a clip like that before.

Maybe I am guilty of pushing Carlin more to my side but while I do know he would rag on the left, on wokeness, cancel culture and the like I also believe by watching his previous work that he would see what the right is doing for what it is and rag on them even more.

He's not wrong about what he said though, if you do some research what his bit was about is accurate. Someone that experiences a traumatic event was coined shellshocked. A two syllable impactful word, short and sweet that has more meaning to it than the jumbled mess of words post traumatic stress disorder.

No one really has a problem with "PTSD"

Essentially nobody uses the full term with anything approaching regularity.

I graduated with a Bachelor's in Social Work in May, the full term was used maybe a dozen times.

Are the four syllables of "PTSD" too complicated, or can we keep using it?

No, according to the language police anything more than two syllables is a crime against humanity apparently

Wtf at people who think language has gotten softer. Look at how people speak to each other compared to 20 years ago.

If you only focus on how are allowed to speak on network TV youre being disingenuous.

Plus if a client actually did object to the term I'd call it whatever the hell they wanted outside of the necessary paperwork.

This has always been a dumb point since medical terms aren't about being "short and sweet" and sounding cool, and post traumatic stress disorder is a hell of a lot more accurate, especially given that today very few people who have PTSD have it for reasons related to what the term shellshock references.
