There was previously discussion about Russell Brand denying allegations that were to be shown in a TV documentary, and now things are developing.

    Look up “the wellness to fascism pipeline”. Brand is the poster child of someone who had very left leaning politics, became interested in self help and natural living, fell down the anti-vax rabbit hole, and is now a conservative grifter. He realized that he wasn’t getting more popular over time doing comedy, so he gravitated towards being a misinformation node.

      So many assholes whose relevance is slipping do this. How many washed up stars continually thrust themselves into our consciousness because this is the one thing that gets a reaction from people these days?

      Kevin Sorbo, The Nuge, Morrissey…

        Crowder, Shapiro, Owens, Walsh, Dore, the token gay dude who was on Young Turks. All failed at mainstream entertainment careers. It ain’t a coincidence these people are on billionaire payrolls. They were always narcissists.
