Russell brand

Post by randylahey »

Anyone hear about him lately? He's probably most famous from roles like "get him to the greek" and "forgetting Sarah marshall"
Anyways he's gathered a rather large following in recent years for his criticism of various governments and big pharma
Suddenly the establishment is trying to cancel his voice after this sound bit has gone viral

Brand's case may be suggestive of a double standard. He's demonetized by Youtube, for example, while R. Kelly is not.

That said, the idea that he's "being canceled" for anything other than likely being a prolific predator is nutty.

And to be clear - to the extent a double standard existed...that would be a business choice. Right?

They are decades old allegations. How come they never came to light until he was taking a stand against the establishment?

What does it matter?

One of your many problems is that you are simply closed off to digesting that popular ground has shifted on matters like this. What you decry as "cancel culture" is, in many cases, simply businesses changing their practices so as to, you know, appeal to consumers.

I'm not bothering to look it up, and like VSG, there's almost no one I'm less interested in than a POS like Russell Brand, but am I wrong to think they have the medical records from one woman who sought medical attention after Brand's assault, and his very contrite text messages to her, afterwards?

I scrolled down that feed, a literal museum of stupidity. I can see how you would enjoy ingesting it all.

Apparently you don't know how social media or algorithms work

But no it followed yours. When I scrolled through the feed I saw mostly dog videos

I don’t use instagram, numb nuts. Nor would I ever immerse myself in the vat of disinformation that you and the other mouth breathers wallow in.

Try again?
