No idea where to put this given it will be divisive content and written off as tin foil hat conspiracy theory rubbish. Does anyone else periodically watch Russell Brand's youtube channel? I still think he posts intertesting stuff from time to time.
meh he is just rambling and spewing hippie shit that many women love hearing and get wet about as they drool over his chesthair, he has zero idea on how a supply and demand chain works and is just spinning and twisting words and popular conspiracy figures to his benefit
fuck that guy, hasnt worked a day in his life the prick
Ya i dunno, i find him an interesting character since his outburst at recieving the GQ award in 2013 and other interviews where he went way way off base.Maybe it was part of a strategy to move from entertainment to his own youtube channel (which was probably a smart move and ahead of the game looking at entertainers 2021).
He definately feeds into conspiracy theories in his channel, so can easily see that being an instant close window for most. I do think he is on point when it comes to calling out the hypocrisy of the elite though, rarely if ever are the powerful working for you or I's best interest but maybe that doesn't need spelling out.
the dude was a leech fucktoyboy of the elite for years and is himself an elite now, just look at him, he wouldnt lift a finger to even put food in his mouth, as long as people give him free add money and buy his shitty books ...
its called drama whoring , only with more fancy words ....
I’ve stayed away from youtubers as much as possible and though I may miss some interesting stuff here and there, I also feel like I don’t have to put energy in discerning the good from the bad, the well researched from the bullshit etc. When I want opinions, I talk to friends and colleagues or read people on here. No need for youtubers who, through their buisness model usually have to please a specific narrative and (the most important part) talk from an authority position as there is no discussion.
Maybe Russell is good. I don’t know.
"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."
u assume people n here n friends and colleagues do research, spoiler, nobody does anymore not even journalists thmselves .(
The difference lies in the non existing agenda and the ability to exchange/question etc. -> dialogue.

I simply don't follow or watch any political/ideological tuber. It's always biased, it's always skewed and tubers try to make money by gaining an audience, thus saying what their target group want to hear, making it entirely pointless while the comment section is full of either "yes, you are so right" or just hateful bickering.
I may watch some tube clip that is made by a reputable source like a scientist or other professional that is discussing a particular issue in order to let me decide what to make of it. But I'm mainly interested in purely scientific tube videos about physics/astrophysics etc.
The stuff I watch most on the tube are reaction videos, music videos, funny videos (well, funny to me at any rate) etc., ie. entertainment.
I have some sympathies for Russell Brand, mostly because his views on animal care and nature in general. His interview on Joe Rogan was pretty nice, with some great arguments.
The farming protests in India have been going for some time, and it's true the Gates Foundation plays a big part in this.
But once it's about the 'Great Reset', I'm out
There must have been a door there in the wall, when I came in.
Truly gone fishing.
He doesn't even aknowledge covid to be a serious pandemic. Fuck him. I followed his channel for some time, but he and his new age hippie friends are lost in part q anon bullshit and part other conspiracy theory bullcrap.
I always felt he appealed because he plays the kings pauper.
He makes a point to come across as well off, but in a poor mans way 'chic'. A persona of an educated simple man, it feels too much like his renaissance man relatability is more for outward confirmation than just naturally inherent.
His look is calculated to appear obviously not 'star elite'. Much like the women that spend 4 hours to get ready so it looks like they just threw something on casual for a date to say "What this old thing? Its the first thing I saw". He totally feels like the man that would say "Yes I am rich, but I am grounded". If you have to say that and point that out to people, you are not.
To mock with a south park reference. Like he is the type to smell his own farts; but just so he can go "Yes, come smell this.. see smells just like an everyday person's farts".
Trying too hard to embody anti-bourgeois bohemianism.
For his activism style, he spends a lot of time lauding and waxing the common and obvious slights of the world with elegant indignation to appeal to you with and show compassion that even though he's at the top, he notices the bottom's problems and is empathic. But then mixes in some of his own crazy train frosting onto it using his 'lean into the conversation' style of energy and over the top eccentricity.
I dont think his intent is bad. Nor is some of the things he speaks about change for (mostly speaks never does). Just his forced posh quirkiness mixed with that 'he seems to mean well' makes his kooky ideas and far fetched long and big worded rants seems humanitarian in cause, and less just tin foil hat.
A modern day generic store brand John Lennon of sorts. Lots of visual and public activism, little reality or helpfulness in the effort he causes.
Much like Lennon I could see him scheduling a week long 'sleep in' as a protest to something. Which is comprised of him and his girlfriend staying in bed all week to make..a statement about something.

Government is sometimes using famous people and intellectuals for various reasons.
12 Rules for Life and the idea of God / Great Awakening / Virtual Reality / Age of Aquarius
It's like a Big Puzzle - everything must come together in perfect timing.
Do you really think that government doesn't know about virtual reality and other stuff?
CIA was probably using meditation like Remote Viewing since the World War 2 for military spying
We are living in a crazy world, men.
Too much of a risk. Would be completely embarassing if the cenebrity would go out and say that the government tried hiring him/her to spout a buch of bullshit lies

Pretty much, although I think technology enables power at levels the world has never seen before. Big tech giants, intelligence agencies and therefore government, know every intrinsic detail about anyone at any time now.
And we know human beings can't be trusted with such power, we're corrupt, cheat on loved ones, fuck over business partners for money etc. who polices the police?

Models are being sex trafficked across the world.
Pop stars are being sex trafficked across the world.
Young actors are being sex trafficked across the world.
Theyre all groomed to appease the super rich. Kings, princes, tycoons, etc.
Thats all the real conspiracy theories.
An open secret of sorts.
Govts outside of China have no idea what to do with the world. There's no great beyond in terms of who's running who. Covid gave them hope for a reset in economy and environment and it proved the other way. Less cars, less traffic, less co2, for a whole year did not improve the govt. Articles came out that it worsened the environment.
Big corps are earning more monies in which they use to blackmail govt agencies so that they aren't affected by covid lockdowns. Its evident here in Canada where big box stores pretty much have more say as to what can be affected by the lockdown than the govt itself. Small businesses are an afterthought.
If fbi/cia/shadow govt actually ran things past 2 years would not have happened. They did and the all mighty govts fucked it all up. If that aint proof that there's no shadow gov then I dunno what to tell youse. There no real plan, just survive.
And many conspiracy theorists are tossing the great reset about like it means anything that fuckery would have happened in the first 4 months of the pandemic where people were complacent and scared and did everything govt told them to do. Shit is hitting the fan, and no plan in sight. Lol. Stop thinking there's something greater running the show. Just a bunch of politicians trying to make a buck and divide people because its good for them.
People live by myths and conspiracy theories just like religions sell myths.

Yea I feel the appeal for the same reason:
Life is unpredictable and mostly just the sum result of some sort of large scale brownian motion of events bumping into each other, and that's unsettling. It takes away or dulls the sense of meaning of it all, and robs you of a lot of the agency you believed (usually because overestimated) you had in this universe.
Taking comfort in the idea there is a tangible graspable 'evil' behind why bad things happen that can be explained centered around a central 'cause'; and that there is a good side trying to stop it, and you are on that side making you feel slightly more purposed, and special for being one of the 'better' ones in the know, among this world of chaos.
A sort of Anthropomorphism to things too big to comfortably grasp, or unable to wrestle with that it is 'just a sum of noise and random events' makes it less "monkey brain hurt". That makes it feel more tangible, and less unpredictable and random.
Find a puzzle piece you like the look of, you can make it fit anywhere if you turn it this way and that, and pound it hard enough.
So yea, to me conspiracy theorists are like religions but for a non-theistic mythos of why things we think shouldn't happen without a reason, can have a reason, to satisfy that desire.

Nonsense aside I'm not sure if the attitude of ridicule towards anything that sounds "out there" and the pretense that the super rich and the state don't have a history of remorseless mass deception, conspiracy and cruelty towards the masses is any wiser. Shit happens the world is crazy nigga
Same guy that was arrested in the beginning of the pandemic for secretly working with china and setting up a lab in WUHAN for big big bux.
Is it related? is it not? You can't tell for sure eitherway but it's a damn interesting coincidence.
