Russell Brand

[Pentonville]

Dispatches tonight could be about him so he has jumped in first dismissing claims and rumours and saying anything he did in past was consensual. No doubt it will be said that this is The Matrix coming after him due to his opposition to mainstream media.

[Eerie Descent]

"Dean, I know you're lost, hysterical, and vulnerable at the moment. So I'm going to give you some genuine advice. Soon, you're going to get an email from Hammer & Pickle. I'm here to tell you that ZEN coaching will not cure you, or save you from anything, and definitely don't start using your garden as a toilet. Save those 60 Euros per session, and spend it on stuff like tools, Golf clubs, and non-sustainable food, hopefully you can get a bit of masculine dignity back. Here to help."

[BRANDED]

"For me, truth is the gradual progression towards the most statistical probability of a fact. This requires constant updating and critical enquiry. We can all make mistakes but so long as we keep testing and questioning we find we get closer and closer to the most probable. So, I definitely looked for those who queried. Its at the very base of my belief system to do so."

[deanjcrawford]

"Are you saying Brand exposed the truth? I’m not quite sure exactly what you’re referring to, but for every truth Brand may tell, there’s several untruths, like him talking about Ivermectin or linking heart attacks to vaccines. And every other conspiracy he mentions and plays off as “just asking questions.”"

[BRANDED]

"Not at all. I wondered why any and all public health officials started with certain views and policies and flipped very rapidly except in Sweden. I was curious by that fact and chose to investigate why that might be.its all documented on the Covid thread and I openly accept it was hard to understand early on when masks werent recommended or mandated and lock downs had never been part of public health planning. Challenging these narratives was hard even though thousands of public health and scientists were as they were shut down. It was only Sweden that offered a test case as an alternative. Thankfully in the fullness of time the truths cane out, documented by Brand and now almost all mainstream media."

[Capitol Man]

"You're missing the point again Branded. Fauci becae a huge target for the extreme American right, with Rand Paul trying (albeit making himself look foolish in the process) to grill him in congress. You've watched it, taken it in, believed it and not tied it to the lockdown you experienced in the UK, which Fauci had absolutely nothing to do with. Basically exactly what is being said."

[BRANDED]

I certainly tried to work out why Sweden was one of the very few countries not adopting the same authoritarian/corporate model. One that had no previous planning in central government public health guidelines. Working out that stuff required a lot of very deep digging as most countries adopted the same destructive path. Werent you curious?

[Capitol Man]

"Have you not just epitomized exactly what is being said there Branded, why would a Brit be so worried about what Fauci was doing? Have you not just proven you've been sullied by this right wing messaging by the very fact you've projected what went on in America with what was going on in the UK. To a large extent the UK was doing more in terms of restrictions and lockdowns than the US was."

[BRANDED]

"Are you not just a little bit curious to the answer to these questions? As a left of centre Brit I was staggered by the anti democratic, technocratic authoritarianism of the Covid response as represented by Fauchi and his corporate interests? Or indeed every politician that has their interests muddied by corporate money. Its why Corbyn remains one of the few unsullied. Yeah, I know he lost."

[Capitol Man]

"Let's take this example. Is this riddled with right wing or left wing nonsense, or beyond traditional labels? ""riosleftsock 11:27 Tue Sep 19 Trouble in the Caucuses Trouble brewing in Armenia and Azerbaijan (again). Pashinyan, the Armenian PM seems to have ceded Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan, so the Azeri troops have started to move towards the Armenian exclave. Not very many people in Armenia agree with this, and even less seem to like Pashinyan. With Armenia's normal sponsor, Russia tied up in a war against NATO proxy in Ukraine, Iran will likely step in as the other power-broker in the area. I wonder who could be behind all of this...... This will probably last about three posts before Norfnazi delets it"""

[deanjcrawford]

"Little old multi millionaire Russell Brand sitting in his manor is anti corporate, is he? Maybe once he was a champion of the common folk, but he isn’t anymore. “Thought Biden Couldn’t Sink Any Lower?? THINK AGAIN!!,” “Did Liberals Use Feminism to Justify Afghan Cluster F*ck?,” “SHOCKING Wuhan Evidence: Did Fauci LIE?,” and “So...Trump was RIGHT About Clinton & Russia.” You might say they are anti corporate titles on his videos, most would say they are click bait bullshit aimed at the right wing. And they would be right. And yes, yes, yes, I’m a left wing looney, it doesn’t matter if mostly right wingers watch his videos, I haven’t got a clue, blah blah blah…saved your fingers for you."

[BRANDED]

Dean Its anti corporate Whoever watches it and likes it is irrelevant. You really are lost

[BRANDED]

"Cap Rational, logical, liberal, free market, anti monopoly, reasonable redistribution, human rights, anti corporate influence, open minded, sexy, groovy hipster."

[deanjcrawford]

"Branded, I’m not lost at all. My position hasn’t changed once and all I’ve done is give examples to back that up. He can be anti corporate interest all he wants. That doesn’t mean he’s not shifted his content to appeal to a right wing audience over the years. And Jaan, So you’re saying YouTube isn’t right wing. And Brand won’t post as much on there any more…because he’s not right wing? The demographic won’t be more balanced on Rumble because it’s predominantly a right wing platform. Just like Russell Brand’s content. And Trump is popular, eh? Joe Rogan gets those guests in because he gets a higher viewership? It’s almost like he’s getting right wing guests on because they appeal to a bigger audience."

[SurfaceAgentX2Zero]

One statistic we can all agree on: 99.9% of all failed and washed up comedians will say any old bollocks to get five minutes on TV. 99.9% of all comedians: the comedy circuit is an absolute cess-pit Also 99.9% of all comedians: Hey right on! Thatcher was a cսnt.

[Capitol Man]

"Serious question for a moment - how do a lot of people on here see themselves? Rios, Ox, Ken, Kaiser, Bolty, Millhouse? Do you see yourselves as right wing or something else?"

[Capitol Man]

"Zeb - it wasn't so much that as others were involved and didn't get booted out, it was the texts that came out during the discovery process that did for him. Tucker Carlson January 7, 2021 — 04:18:04 PM UTC A couple of weeks ago, I was watching video of people fighting on the street in Washington. A group of Trump guys surrounded an Antifa kid and started pounding the living shit out of him. It was three against one, at least. Jumping a guy like that is dishonorable obviously. It’s not how white men fight. Yet suddenly I found myself rooting for the mob against the man, hoping they’d hit him harder, kill him. I really wanted them to hurt the kid. I could taste it. Then somewhere deep in my brain, an alarm went off: this isn’t good for me. I’m becoming something I don’t want to be. The Antifa creep is a human being. Much as I despise what he says and does, much as I’m sure I’d hate him personally if I knew him, I shouldn’t gloat over his suffering. I should be bothered by it. I should remember that somewhere somebody probably loves this kid, and would be crushed if he was killed. If I don’t care about those things, if I reduce people to their politics, how am I better than he is?"

"deanjcrawford 10:26 Tue Sep 19 Not sure what you're struggling with. It's not difficult. You pointed out Rumble is right wing, and unlike Youtube he'll not be demonitised. That's because Youtube isn't right wing. Which is where he earns most of his money. He has way fewer followers on Rumble than on youtube, where the demographic will be more balanced. If he only appealed to the right you'd think Rumble would be a greater platform for him. No, I don't find it odd that those named are Rogan's most popular, but that isn't because JRE is a right wing podcast either. I think those type of guests just appeal more for talking points. Like CNN's viewership when Trump was in office."

[BRANDED]

He’s anti corporate interest. You’re utterly lost son.

[deanjcrawford]

"Branded, You what? Yes, education is great. We should choose the interests of the little guy. What has that got to do with Russell Brand becoming a right wing commentator?"

[Hammer and Pickle]

The tabloids have realised their market is now the same that receives the conspiracy sites. Brand has worked this out as well - the symbiosis is forming before our eyes and the sex allegations are all part of that scenario.

Capitol Man 9:46 Tue Sep 19 What did for Tucker Carlson was what came out during the voting machine defamation lawsuit against Fox. He admitted in email that he didn't believe that the vote was rigged but still went on air anyway. He is a cynical man but ot pays well. The Daily Mail are the same. I worked there for a decade albeit in the web arm and hrdyl anyone from Editorial apart from a couple of columnists believed the stuff they wrote. It was all driven by clicks and ad revenue and worked a treat for the bottom line. When I started the web bit made losses and helped offset the tax bill. By the time I left it was making higher profits that the print division.

[BRANDED]

Dean I'm going to break this to you gently. If you've chosen any side you've almost certainly chosen corporate interests. That is the interests of very rich people and big finance. You certainly haven't chosen the interests of the little man or small business man or local interests. So. What do you do. Be in thrall of this big money machine or educate yourself out of the the divide and conquer?

[deanjcrawford]

"Capitol Man 9:43 Tue Sep 19 It’s exactly that. And yes, it’s the same in the US. I would say more so over here as the divisions are deeper. The loudest voices today are the MAGA politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene who literally calls democrats pedophiles in congress and holds up pictures of Hunter Biden getting his dick sucked on TV to prove a point. Republicans genuinely call trans people sexual predators and state that drag shows kill more children than guns. I know politics in England can be divisive, but these fuckers are on another level. And that’s the type of shit Brand feeds into. Just because he says he is anti establishment, he doesn’t have a party, we should think for ourselves, blah blah blah, doesn’t mean his videos aren’t aimed at conspiracy theorists. The QAnon video today has just further proved every critic of him correct. He thinks you need to think for yourself, but he sure as hell spends a lot of fucking time giving evidence to back up these conspiracies. QAnon literally believe reptiles are masking as humans, but he won’t say shit about them lest he lose his core base. And Jaan, What the fuck are you on about mate? I really am confused by you. Whether he is on YouTube or Bumble or CBeebies, he still makes money from the right. Just like your mate Joe Rogan. Little old Joe fighting against the mainstream media, when in reality his show is second in popularity only to the Super Bowl! He gets 190 million downloads a month, ffs. Do you think it’s any coincidence that his most popular shows are the ones that feature Jordan Peterson, Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro, etc?"

[Capitol Man]

Did I miss the part where we had a vote and decided Billy was in charge? You know you could just make your point.
