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.

"Capital ,dont forget his great debating skills of calling everybody a cսnt"

FOMB - that’s not what anyone has actually said you twat. Doesn’t it strike you as a bit of a coincidence that all these people thinking independently come to the same conclusions across a surprisingly wide range of subjects?

I don't think anyone on the right considers Russell Brand right wing. The only people that do are liberal progressives that don't like him talking about stuff that people on the right might actually agree with.

I forgot grifter as another word the left use thanks

"And that’s part of the schtick isn’t it - that it’s not JUST right wingers that tell you not to trust the government, don’t get vaccinated listen to this conspiracy of this or that. It’s like on here a few years ago when it was antifa this and antifa that - Mary was going about Candace Owen’s - and apparently you could believe her about antifa because she’s black. That it’s the left that is racist. It plays to the need for validation. This thread is a perfect example of how that works."

[Takashi Miike]

"""Aren’t we supposed to think for ourselves"" the evidence is you don't. you constantly repeat mainstream narratives, stances and labels like 'far right' 'conspiracy theorist' to anyone that dares question anything. you clearly see people 'thinking for themselves' as a threat"

[deanjcrawford]

"Lily, He may well talk about all that. He can also peddle conspiracy theories, post click baity rage inducing titles, and realise that most of his money comes from the right. Both things can be true at the same time. Even in the video Branded has posted - it’s supposed to be about France but he spends most of his time talking about America and unproven theories about Biden. He even mentions Obama. He’s playing to the MAGA right. The blokes also an absolute hypocrite. He peddles his conspiracy theories with absolutely no concrete evidence. Yet when he’s accused of being a nonce, it’s a media hit job and we shouldn’t believe anything without any proof. Aren’t we supposed to think for ourselves? Even when there’s more proof of him raping someone than there is of 9/11 being an inside job. The guy is a fucking grifter."

"Alt right, far-right, extreme right, far right. All labels invented by left wing nazis to create an enemy out of normal patriotic people. Why not alt-left, far-left, extreme left, far left? In reality its nothing to do with left or right, its an elite globalist merger/capture of the left who want to shut the rest of the world up and impose its will on the rest of us."

[BRANDED]

Two recent videos that are leftist in content drawing attention to corporate and government actions that impact ordinary people. Mostly he talks about for profit groups who impact upon the ordinary.

[BRANDED]

No Listen to his words and critique them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf1sKCbOxL0 That's another video try watching it and analysing the words and content Its not even hard

[Capitol Man]

Would it help if it were talked about in terms of Alt-right rather than traditional left and right?

[Lily Hammer]

"Dean If you had watched as many of his videos as I had, you would have realised he bangs on about what people on the left and right have in common and agree on, and how, even though he admits he doesn’t have the answers, we need a new system of politics completely, because both the left and right as they are are not fit for purpose. Both sides of the aisle on both sides of the pond are riddled with conflicts of interest. He champions smaller government with less centralised power and more localised power, which is right wing. He champions an NHS and compassionate social security system, which is left wing. There are loads of things he champions that are left and right ideals. He’s has shifted from the left on a right direction to a much more central standpoint, but doesn’t have much faith in any mainstream politics, and that’s why he has such a big following because loads of people, maybe most, feel a similar way."

"My favourite part of Private Eye is the page where they show the hypocrisy of Fleet Street. Classic this week is where they highlight the Sun taking a pop at the BBC asking who knew what when he was on BBC TV and Radio 2. But then point out that the Sun's Bizarre column awarded Brand the title of Shagger of the Year, three years running."

[BRANDED]

Cap Listen to his own words. Use some kind of critical analysis and make a judgement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk7K9Q8U9dU it isn't even hard Its pretty much as left as you can get

[Capitol Man]

"Hammer-n-nails 12:02 Thu Sep 21 Re: Russell Brand JFC - THIS is the message you're being sold! That typically gets followed up with a right wing populist message that's along the lines of Trump... Balserano ... Le Penn ..... whoever aren't like that. They are outsiders. Vote for them, or at the very least don't support the ""establishment"". Trust no-one - also the heart of the Putin disinformation messaging. They are ALL lying to you."

[Capitol Man]

"FFS Branded. Selectively quoting Brand himself does nothing to change what is being said. You've got to look at what he's putting out more broadly. Again, I'm not sure how much simpler this can be made for you."

[Hammer-n-nails]

"deanjcrawford If you think labeling anyone left/right or whatever these days makes a difference then you have your head in the clouds. All sides are corrupt self enriching arseholes that keep the status quo and keep overreaching their powers. Brand has been calling for a complete overhaul of governments and ""political"" systems thus he is leaning neither way. Do you believe true Democracy is on play? Like fuck is it! Your freedoms are slowly being eroded and the majority of people have their head in the sand. ""You will own nothing and be happy"" warned George Orwell and it's coming true."

[BRANDED]

Dean Listen to his own words. Use some kind of critical analysis and make a judgement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rk7K9Q8U9dU it isn't even hard

[deanjcrawford]

"Branded, Brand absolutely does get involved in the culture wars. But I know what I say doesn’t matter: https://www.newstatesman.com/comment/2023/03/have-lost-russell-brand I know you won’t click on it, so the headline reads: “We have lost Russell Brand This once-sexy communist has become an American culture wars pundit.”"

[oioi]

It's as plain as day that Russell Brand will say whatever it takes get a result be it sex with women or cash from the internet. He couldn't be more insincere. Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

[deanjcrawford]

"Hermit, Because Brand used to quote Marx doesn’t mean he hasn’t shifted his contact to appeal to MAGA right wingers. He interviewed Chomsky? He also interviewed Ron DeSantis and Tucker Carlson. You all seem transfixed on what he used to be and are blinded by his schtick of “just asking questions.” He can tell you he’s not right wing all he wants. The bulk his content suggest otherwise. I’ve given countless examples of Brand pandering to the right, and provided links and quotes from people a lot more intelligent than us, also explaining his shift to the right. But no one wants to even entertain the idea. At first, I really did think you lot were trolling me because I don’t post a lot on this site. But now I realise that most of you are just wilfully ignorant and are choosing not to see what is right in front of your face."

`He says he appeals to his Awakening wonders. He doesn't do culture wars stuff. He does almost entirely globalist economic stuff and he's far left
