[@trevorxlindeman1798]

Don’t insult clowns. Most clowns are funny; Brand is not funny. Why has Brand remade himself a christian? Because he needed an audience and many of Trump’s followers will pay to see him because he is a christian Trump believer. IMHO, his joke that because Trump is hated he must be doing something right but he doesn’t know what actually exposes him as the grifters he is. The true Trump cult members have all the propaganda lies memorized.

[@ErnestPiffel]

A devious one

[@jamesmcmillan2656]

I’m from Western Australia. During Covid he called my state a police state because the premier shut all the airports. We were one of the few places on earth who contained the Covid pandemic. We lost a small handful of people during the pandemic.

[@Bluecedor]

Brand is another grift-chasing charlatan. Awash we all are in them these days. The reason these guys bang on so hard about the vaunted “injustice” of the lockdowns is because political forces want to maintain the untenable notion that only the individual utterly free man (who is also somehow perfectly honest and responsible in all things) is real and that any thought or idea toward cooperative and selfless action is to be chastised and criticized in the starkest terms as a moral failing. Once everyone believes that way then it’s easier to sow and stoke rage against good ideas that save lives.

[@philsoutlook]

It’s quite ironic that he calls WA a police state yet licks the boots of a president that wants exactly that in the US!

[@tonywilson4713]

I'm a Victorian living in Queensland and WA did the right thing. The rest of Australia pretty much did the right thing and it save lives and there's been a staggering number of LIES told before during and since. In Early 2024 Gigi Foster the infamous economics professor who said (early in the pandemic) that we should do the Swedish thing because the elderly and inform would die anyway said on ABC QandA _"At best Australia's lockdown saved 10,000 lives."_ Now there's a few things about that. FIRST - Gigi is NOT a never has been a health care expert and her claim to "just let them die" was met with scorn by other professors at her university the UNSW. SECOND - Simply saying to let 10,000 people die is sociopathic and a sign of mental illness. THIRD - AFTER Australia dropped its restrictions due (in part) to pressure from economists like Gigi Australia's death toll from COVID jumped from ~10,000 to over 20,000. FOURTH - She LIED about the number 10,000. Because I had gone to university in America I was watching the numbers closely via a website that had the entire World's official data. I'd heard Gigi and others make multiple claims about how we should be like Sweden. I knew the Swedish data and how their numbers were double or triple the other Nordic countries (Norway, Finland, Denmark). I also knew Sweden's numbers were much worse than Australia. At the time Gigi claimed it only saved 10,000 (at best) had we taken her advice and done the Swedish thing and based on the Swedish result we would not have had 20,000 dead but over 70,000. How she got away with that lie was she used the average fatality rate for the World NOT the fatality rate for Sweden. Neither Gigi Foster or any of the other LIARS like Russel Brand have ever been called out for their lies or held accountable for their actions in stirring up trouble that did result in lives being lost.

[@Grumpy_vegan]

I totally forgot about how lucky WA was! We unfortunately had NSW mismanaged outbreaks crippled Melbourne 5 lockdowns later 🤦‍♂️😅.

I never liked Brand and his "Oi'm jus' a naugh'y lad" shtick. His "genuineness" felt forced, contrived, and totally fake. And the fact he's still peddling it at age 50, even though he's a "good Christian" pushing right-wing propaganda, makes it even worse. The multiple rape allegations against him, as well as harassing Andrew Sachs (Manuel from Fawlty Towers) with a "prank call" bragging about having sex with his granddaughter, make Brand even more disgusting and vile.

[@dzonbrodi514]

Then I witnessed his first huge personality switch when he jumped headfirst into spiritualism, being politically conscious etc which seemed so disingenuous given how he'd been previously. It just seemed very convenient for his professional ambitions. Or maybe i just have a good BS detector.

How could you fall for his bs?! He always gave an ignoramus & just shallow provocateur vibes! But it's not just him, the truth is that the majority of today's influencers/political commentators on KZbin or other social media are nothing but grifters who love the sound of their own voices & most often state the obvious while acting like they reinvent the wheel! The fact that young kids nowadays, and even older people, listen to these charlatans and think they are taking in some amazing, complex socio-political analysis and philosophy, is a depressing state of affairs. I'm from Poland, and in fact, I can't believe how many people all around the globe let themselves be influenced by these fools, not just Brand but Peterson, Shapiro, Candance Owens, and yes, some on the 'left' or more 'liberal' like Destiny too. I have one piece of advice for all of you: turn off the Internet, and start to spend more time in the real world, read books, and talk to real experts in real life, not through the screen, like people in various organizations, universities, etc. There are people smarter than online grifters everywhere around you; the difference is they don't want money for real smart things they say!

My theory is he was aware the sexual abuse allegations were coming, and he also (rightly) assumed that right wingers would be *far* more forgiving of such actions than leftists, so he decided to go "all in" with them in a desperate bid to save his career.

[@ChrisAlbertH47]

Russell Brand's greatest acting role is the one he embodies right now in his attempt to ingratiate himself to the right.

[@djsamplegee]

Russell lost his Brand.

[@hayleypbop]

‘When he says hate that means attention’ 👏 👏 👏

[@lindaflesch7303]

Russel Brand always was a grifter.

[@007Yasir]

Brand wouldn’t have been known if he didn’t have a Brit-accent.

[@jake751]

He's despised in Britain.

[@daraorourke5798]

This is probably true. And he was always B list in the UK

[@barbra7562]

He and Trump have a lot in common. They are both grifting narcissists.

[@johnserino6]

He's hoping donnie will take the heat off his a crimes.

[@JeffDoerr]

If they hate him so much he's got to be doing something right I don't know what it is yet...what an idiotic statement. This is what excessive drug use does to your brain. Along with many of his conspiracy theorist ideas his thought processes are a little...disjointed. 😮

[@TMDWTFIU]

There's a lot of us in recovery that haven't lost our minds. This sort of grifting has nothing to do with addiction, please.

[@AlLain-n2f]

This guy has a way of saying in so many words..."I like money"

[@daraorourke5798]

He was never a convincing socialist either. It just a cool thing to be after 2008. For a while. 💯 correct the right is his rock and his shield now - rape is just a high school prank to these people .

[@Whythehate]

Here in the U.K. he was shown up quite a while ago on T.V. shows regarding his 'ability' and 'intellect', using philosopher's ideas out of context, and words and phrases that even J Peterson might not use (not to mention suggesting he had sex with an elderly actor's v young daughter) The eyeliner, Jim Morrison-leather trousers and bouffant hair have been replaced by his 'Jesus'-style, but he's still a egoist who admits trump is racist and supports him in the video. "The institutional Kafkaesque bureaucrats that tried to destroy me"- I'll be honest. I must have missed that one.

[@sonnyboy5566]

Even the 12 steps didn’t change him

[@versioncity1]

Ex junkie finds God. How utterly original.

[@ViridisAmbrosia]

Imo for brand it's just about money and saving his a$$.

[@bfcalhoun57]

I'm glad you see through Russell Brand. I do not know how it is that you ever didn't.

[@GemBMs]

I went through a faze of watching self help/meditation stuff when I was hopelessly depressed and some of his content kind of helped me. Feels embarrassing to say that now.

[@geoffkirk576]

Help is help...broken clocks etc

[@giabella111]

His podcast around the time of COVID during his woke phase had great guests. He has sucked ever since.

[@papadampreach]

Remember when he was new on the scene and seemed like he had potential? He turned out weirder than expected. His crystals work 😂

[@teugene5850]

Russell broke our hearts. Remember the Paxman interview? What happened?

[@flogginga_dead_horse4022]

many years ago I thought he was good but did he ever jump the shark

[@badnick6659]

Sunken eyes, he knows what he did.

[@matthewdanna8800]

Emma reading two of his books is wild

[@Oj4y1]

his little Booky Wooky is hilarious in a silly vacuous kind of way

[@aaronbrandon2321]

He was funny in movies as the druggie guy. Also a hard drug addict for all his early adult life, that's about it. I don't go to these people for life advice.

[@timedwards5734]

Yeah he just played himself in those films. Attended LOTS of Diddy parties

[@AallonTapsa]

Love it how Kafkaesque and Huxleyesque Russel Brand is.

[@celestialnubian]

Russell Brand actually used to be cool. Sad to see what he turned into.

[@driesvdc2]

I have always found him insufferably pretentious

[@MissDanah]

I’m upset with myself for convincing myself he was just a changed man and his crimes and narcissism didn’t matter.

[@estern53]

Let’s call Brand and others like Trump for what they really are: mentally disturbed.

[@lulufulu4867]

You can’t even call him a “has been”, because he was never anything of note. Now he, a nobody, is preaching to millions. This is the scourge of anti social media.

[@carmelcurran7193]

He has millions of followers. He is hardly a nobody. In the past he had an extremely successful radio show, comedy programmes and tours and film career. Millions followed his Trews on KZbin and read his books so he HAS BEEN something of note in many respects. He isn't finished yet either.
