Tbh Idgaf if it's "communism", corporations have had enough political and economical power for too long so I'm glad Russel isn't afraid to give them the finger, unlike these two shills. For the most part I agree with them but on the corporate shilling I can't support it.
9:45 "THEY! Whoever they are… blah blah blah THEM!".
So we're talking about… the famous "they/them" pronouns then?
11:00 "Openness and non-judgementalism".
OH MY GOD, HOW SINISTER!!!! lol Oh the horror.
Russel Brand wasn't even on my radar until the Trump election/Covid nonsense started. I think I heard Richard Dawkins reference him at a TED talk (or some other venue) about the strangeness of the universe, and just assumed he was some kind of statesman or layman polymath. So I'm viewing him and his content with fresh eyes, and a limited perspective of just what he's put out over the course of the last two years on Youtube. Seems to be to just be a bog-standard leftie of the 90's and early 2000's. I find his content lately to be enjoyable and a bit nostalgic for a time when you could disagree with someone politically and still share a brew and a few laughs.
I don't want to make any apologies for the left going off the rails, they have their own agency, but in my view – this is in large part the conservatives fault. Especially American conservatives. They are the ones who brought Christian fundamentalism into politics with a zeal that prevented compromise, and Fox News/Rush Limbaugh really cranked up the editorialization in a time when media was still trying to pretend they were impartial and dispassionate Walter Cronkite derivatives. Barry Goldwater used to lamet the rise of the religious right/moral majority in the Republican party because they had no inclination or desire to compromise – believing they were righteous and doing god's work. "It's going to be an awful goddamned mess", to paraphrase. Well he was right, but the worst of the mess coming from Democrats/Lefties who adopted the tactics of the religious moral majority. Perhaps that's why the left seems so much like an organized secular religion these days – having destroyed Christianity in the public discourse, and replaced it with their own moral imperatives. It's the same playbook, and same bullshit, we were dealing with in the 80's and 90's – but from the other side of the mirror.
Here's me just gob-smacked that people still have the nerve to call things that are happening right out in the open 'conspiracy theories'.
Russel Brand has had these positions and opinions for years. But you weren't listening. You were too busy being "based" and "right-wing".
I’ve been watching his transformation. The guy has pretty much been red pilled in front of our very eyes.
I just checked his channel. The dude has 5M subscribers!
Russell has been unbelievably based on the pandemic stuff for the past year or two you guys should have him on!
Have avoided him for years. He has that ghastly combination of incompetence and arrogance. Should I give him another chance?
"The media, they're the people who program people's minds. They're the narrative setters".
Right… and they need to acknowledge that… THEY HAVE COMPETITION NOW. Afraid of healthy competition? Interesting…
Russel Brand = Controlled opposition.
Everyone should be suspicious of those that had a sudden change of opinion like Russel and Maajid, just for the media to start pushing them as "the new Joe Rogan"…
Huge sus vibes coming from them and many others.
I watched one of Brand's videos in which he mentioned riding in his limo. So literally a "limousine liberal."
'
Agreed. I’ve always thought he was kind of an idiot but I’ve been watching his videos for the past year and they are actually really good.
He is still not funny though.
Why do you have to open with 'never liked Brand, never thought he was funny', I honestly find it distasteful when people do that, myopic even.
Interview invite?
I've always found Russel Brand fairly likeable, but with reprehensible political views. I've watched a couple of his recent videos and he seems to have reinvented himself. I really can't criticise his new format. So good show Russel, well done.
He has grown up. But unfortunately he has been a dick in the past. People that do not like what he is saying now, will be constantly be reminding you that he was a dick.
Thats how it works isn't it? Divert away from what really matters. And he does cover subjects that matter.
The first time I watched Russel Brand's show I had to pinch myself, I couldn't believe I was hearing him say the things that I usually hear from conservative YouTubers. I don't think he intended to take the 'Red Pill' or if he even acknowledges he has, yet, that is how it appears to many people. Somewhere on his quest/journey to find and deliver the truth on certain political subjects to the masses, he has stumbled onto his own path of awareness. With over 5 million subscribers it can't be denied that people are listening to what he has to say, and as long as he continues to shine the light of truth on corruption and hypocrisy it's a pretty sure bet more people will listen.
I've been watching Russell's videos for years. He has always been a leftist, but was always open minded and well intentioned. Similar category to Glenn Greenwald and Jimmy Dore. But yes, in the last few months I have gone from watching to hear a thoughtful earnest argument for things I mostly disagree with to mostly agreeing and wondering how/when the censors are going to destroy him.
You forgot to mention that he went through the 12 step earnestly. It shows. He’s a man of substance.
Idk… Something about me screams Grifter regarding him.
She's mad but wants to root him in truth.
Russell Brand is inviting Lefty's to start thinking , which can never be a bad thing.
Speaking of conspiracy theories, Russel Brand is posing being based and level headed to infiltrate the conservative side and
change or destroy it. 😉
Holy crap, russel brand is a fifth column right winger…
"With his beard, long hair, and loose-fitting wide-neck shirts…."
Yes, indeed written as if by a woman.
problem with conspiracy theories on youtube is people actually believed them. Earth being flat, etc.
problem with conspiracy theories on youtube is people actually believed them. Earth being flat, etc. Like I knew someone who bought into them all and thought all his devices were hacked for leaving a youtube comment…
13:31 – 13:40 Just like Jon Oliver, Steven Colbert, and Jon Stewart? (and probably more I just don't know) The do the exact same thing.
Bloody right wing fanatics going about confusing people GRRR! Oh look, 5 million subscribers.
More to the point, where did this guy come from and why did people take to listening to hippy-descended rantings? I remember him just poofing into existence after one movie and suddenly being touted like some kind of guru.
I hope Brand does have new conspiracies to peddle. My old ones have become fact.
Lest we forget, he had a very open and pleasant interview with Jordan Peterson about 3 or 4 years ago. He's been on what I would say was the right path for a while.
