Carlin found mitch and exploited it. Like Paul Harvey, Rush Limbaugh and Art Bell. He should be remembered as an innovator for that.
However, of all those innovators I listed, hes the only one that morphed his stated beliefs as soon as he became famous and wealthy.
Also he's the only one personally picked, elevated, and embraced by the establishment, instead of building his base to the point where the establishment simply had to take notice and accept him.
Rush, Art Bell, ....and possibly Paul Harvey all had to build their following until the establishment simply couldn't ignore them (not that sure about Paul's history).
But Dan Carlin went to a meeting of elites - sanitized his past, killed his forum, and took the cash to push their message forward.
Yep, and now is pretty openly messaging for them.
I should have taken the Tshirt he offered me.
Then I could have said 10 years on DCF, and all I got was this stupid t shirt

I got a lot out of it
but it was all about the off topic banter in the threads
that's where all the connections were made, that's where I learned about the real people behind the avatars
I did too, that was failed humor.
I turned down the T telling Dan he gave me more than I ever gave him.
This small group of early adopters is awesome. We helped Carlin up the hill, promoted many others in our circle, great discussions, good dust ups, all in all, not a better place to shit talk out the death of the old world and creation of a new one.

at the end of it all, I love America more fully & completely than ever
the more they kick her around like a two nickel whore, the more she is Christ upon the cross
nothing else matters now, all that matters is America, last line of defense against the pagans
an ordinary person, especially one from the lower social classes.

I have no logical reason to say this, but I believe traditional America wins in the end.
Call me whatever crazy for thinking this boys, I just do.
If I was going to suggest proof I'd point to wokesters getting ratio-ed constantly, to tech having to play wack a mole with dissident voices, to the absolute failure of gun grabbers to further restrict the 2A.
I just dont believe you can gather a mass movement by telling 80% of the population that they are inherently evil, and must kneel to the 20%.
