Russell Brand


Dr. Doom

Recommended Posts

Surprised they kept him on air as long as they did.

Russell brand trews >>>

If your not aware it already I recommend it.

Fucked thing is the more he voices his opinions like this the more the BBC and other corrupt media corporations will block him out and not have him on any shows.

But he is pulling over 100k views every video on YouTube and some are reaching over 1 mill, which in it self shows that the BBC etc are not invicible.

Brand is dangerous IMO because he has a voice but it's an uneducated voice and people that are either too lazy or too defeatist to educated themselves on politics jump on the back of what he says because he places poetic words together, is a little eccentric and considers himself anti-establishment which in a current disenfranchised politicl environment works.

One thing that drives my point home is, in the Newsnight interview especially, is when Evan Davis reads an excerpt of his book where he suggests taking back General Motors from it's shareholders. He evidently didn't even bother researching this because, post-big three bailout, the UAW Union, a trade union, took a larger stake in General Motors so in essence taking some ownership away from the 'corporation' like Brand was advocating. Not understanding the point he calls it an "administrative quibble". What the fuck?! For a man to have a voice on the political system despite having absolutely no understanding of politics, business or economics is astounding. I'm all for an independent voice that challenges the status quo, Owen Jones being the best current example, but for so many people to blindly follow Russell Brand is farcical.

This is a good (brief) read too on Brand

brand isnt perfect but his general argument of 'shit urgently needs to change' is good n needs to be encouraged amongst di youtdem IMHO

It's clear he doesn't have an alternative to 'democracy'/capitalism but that doesn't mean he's chatting shit.

Owen Jones?!?

That chaps will forget everything he stands for as soon as he gets a promotion.

I think people ought to listen to the questions he's asking rather than look to him for answers on how to fix our society.
