Yeah definitely not. 95% of what he's talking about is true and correct, it's largely about the systemic corruption in politics. If you think none of that is real your education on US government stopped at Schoolhouse Rock.

I don't know anything about Russell Brand but I am just browsing through his recent videos and yes it's very much woo and conspiracy. His latest videos, chronoligically (I won't be clicking any of them, so some are hard to assess),

* So, this is happening - appears to be about the scenario under discussion here

* Hang on, Biden 9/11 Speech Was A Lie?! - conspiracy nuttery

* Bill Gates Has Been HIDING This And It's ALL About To Come Out - with an anti-vax symbol in the thumbnail, conspiracy nuttery

* Hang On, Obama Did WHAT?! - hard to say what this is about

* So, Trump Just Said THIS About Vaccines And It Changes EVERYTHING - conspiracy nuttery

* So, They LIED To Hawaii Victims About THIS - conspiracy nuttery

* So… They Fcking KNEW It Was A Lie All Along - conspiracy nuttery

Tucker’s Countdown To WW3 Has Started… - doomer nonsense

* The FBI Have Been Harvesting Your DNA?! - conspiracy nuttery

* So… Trump Just Changed EVERYTHING With This Move - no idea

* Shoespiracy EXPOSED: The HIDDEN Truth Of The Shoe Industry - conspiracy nuttery

* So… Tucker Just COMPLETELY FLIPPED The Ukraine Narrative - no idea but sounds stupid as hell

I didn't cherry pick anything, this was purely chronological.

So you looked at a bunch of titles, didn't watch the videos, and then decided what the videos were about?

Is this how you go about understanding the world around you?

[mvdtnz]

If the videos that I listed are about something other than the title I would be interested to hear it. I sure as hell am not going to listen to a rapist talk about 9/11 and vaccines to verify it.

This seems like a pretty uncurious point of view to post on a forum thats all about intellectual curiousity. What discussion can there be if you intentionally put blinders on like this?

[sleepybrett]

well aren't you adorable?

I don't get it. Do you disagree? How many of your textbooks could have been written by drunken adulterers or abusers?

I don't know that what brand says is right or wrong, and I'd understand the "oh dear, of course I wouldn't listen to that kind of riffraff" performance if you had HR or a boss to worry about, but who thinks that way when they have the freedom not to?
