He's essentially as close to Carlin as we're likely to see.

Shhh, that's what people were saying about Dave Chappelle before, you know, all the stuff he's said recently about trans people

I assure you no one was saying that about Dave Chappelle. That dude has always been a racist jackass. He just happened to be funny for a short while.

Dave is an absolutely world class comedian, but I believe (and I'm pretty sure most of Lemmy would agree) his personal politics are trash.

Bill Burr is also a world class comedian, but I like most of his personal politics.

The problem is that unlike writing, music and movies unless you are on stage doing a "character" your personal politics IS your act and its very hard to separate the art and the artist.
