George Carlin was born on May 12, 1937, in the United States. He was a notable and controversial stand-up comedian known for his biting social criticism and advocacy for civil liberties, including freedom of speech. His pieces often included sharp critiques of government and societal norms, emphasizing individual freedoms and resisting conformity.
Although it is arguably incorrect to categorize him directly as an anarchist, his ideas and performances indeed had anarchic qualities and resonated with those favoring liberty, autonomy, and skepticism of authority. Carlin's thoughts have left a lasting impact on American culture and have been a significant influence on many comics who followed him: his 'Seven Dirty Words' routine led to a U.S. Supreme Court case that helped define the extent to which the government could regulate speech on broadcast television. Carlin died on June 22, 2008.
