Russell Brand: rape and sexual abuse allegations, grifting and general dodginess - discussion

[planetgeli]

talking about who(m)?

The one who has been cancelled. But is available (posting) on other parts of the same medium.

(Radio 4 'Thought for the day' voice)

"And when you think about it, that's a little bit like Russell Brand..."

"I've been silenced!" screams multi millionaire celeb across his multiple social media channels with tens of millions of followers.

The Gray Zone is





from here

And opposed to US foreign policy too..

 

[cesare]

I'll never stop calling out rape apology if I'm safe to do so, but you do you.

Yebbut many women realise it's a waste of time to call it out. Each time I do, I realise what a waste of time it is and at some point I have to take responsibility for wasting my own time. I still choose to do it though, fiercely.

And opposed to US foreign policy too..

If he's that opposed to US foreign policy can't he just ring up his dad and leave the rest of us out of it?

Very funny: but i wont waste breath arguing with imperial apologists. You’re now on ignore so feel free to vent I won’t see it.

Do you also think of General Michael Flynn as a brave opponent of US foreign policy?

This is a thread about rape and sexual assault. Could you not just quietly withdraw from it?

I only got about 30 seconds in before losing the will to live. I'll stop posting this shit if anyone wants.

Just over one year ago, he got in a bit of trouble for falsely claiming that it had been added to a government-approved list of treatments:

Russell Brand Tries to Promote Ivermectin, Gets Instantly Fact-Checked by His Own Followers

A video decrying mainstream media’s “misinformation” about COVID added some of its own.

www.vice.com

Invermectin (did undergo trials and was not found to be effective) led to several hospitalizations through self medicating.....

So...


As much as the allegations of his sexual misconduct are an entirety separate matter (I think he's probably right to save his words on thar for interview under caution if/when).

There is a prima facie case his channel has endangered lives. Presumably that burns through some of his strikes. He then starts on the Ukraine...


In the unlikely and unfortunate event his house burns down, I suspect it would be down to him playing with matches rather than some mysterious state employees seen in the vicinity wearing uniforms bearing the word 'fire'. Moreover that there have been some known incidents of sexual harassment within the Fire Service that too is unfortunate but has no bearing on Mr Brand's alleged activity

Even if the sex pest wasn't posting pure shite, I still couldn't take him seriously. Brand akwats seems five seconds away from laughing at how much bullshit he's saying.

Isnt it. It's a total joke, not only that he says it but people repeat him without seeing the irony

Didn't get very far reading transcript ...Russia first invade Ukraine in 2014 and certainly didn't expand between 2021 and Russia's special military op'

Was there any punctuation or was it one big brain fart?

Would anyone, if there is anyone, who Larry O'Hara not has not put on his little list like to ask him if he thinks Blumentall and Grayzone are not also imperial apologists?

 

[Rob Ray]

If you'd ever read Notes From The Borderland you'd not ask.

You absolute clown. Sorry to others, I realise this is probably contributing to the unwelcome diversion anyway.

 

[Kid_Eternity]

Well as it stands Tate isn't in prison is he. I've no way of measuring what effect being arrested has had but yeah I think if he does end up inside for an extended period it's inevitable his profile will drop off with time.

He was and it had zero impact.

This might be premature.

Keep your abuse to yourself

I see, it is ok to abuse Grayzone (some of which may be merited) but not tocriticise the US. Why dont you”quietly withdraw” yourself

 

[Larry O'Hara]

Well, friends and enemies alike will soon hear news on that score….

With respect, what has the US got to do with the topic?

Funny how a thread about an egotistical prick attracts so many other egotistical pricks, innit...

Er ok. If I'd made some sort of suggestion that their popularity would disappear the moment they went inside you might have a point here.

Grandiose.

Its best not to derail the thread further with that crap ,find a more appropriate and relevant thread to post your thoughts on that subject and keep this one for discussion on the actual subject its intended for.

So, let me get this right
1) this is a thread about Brand
2) an ad hominem attack on Grayzone of no relevance was introduced
3) i demurred from that attack
4) you and fellow trolls jump on me for ‘derailing the thread’ and tell me to stfu

I see, this is your notion of debate. Well you can all do one. You do not intimidate me and do not interpret further silence from me here as bowing to your hate mob tactics, its just that I’ve got better things to do.

 

[Larry O'Hara]

With respect, what has the US got to do with the topic?

You obviously arent aware they are, shall we say, a tad critical of US foreign policy, hence attacks on them.

If I want advice on posting etiquette then listening to a troll (even if other trolls like such advice as shown) isnt my first port of call
