Law russell brand allegations

[Why did you]

Brand New

Well, there was a study that stated that most successful CEO's were psychopaths.
Exactly psychopathy allows/helps them to get to the top.

Honesty/fairness/justice are non-existent to them. In the dog-eat-dog business world that is a definitive competitive advantage.

The problem is that "Busines" has merged with the "State" to a significant degree, and the "State" no longer serves the people. It serves "Business".

Unfortunately that's capitalism.

Businesses are there to protect their own interests and nothing else.

If that means ruling over politicians through lobbying, coercion or intimidation, they will do it 100 % of the time every time.

IDK what the motivation is.

The guy used to work for multiple mainstream media outlets, so if anything it just makes them look bad for employing him while rumors were circulating and he was openly winking and nodding about it.



I just don't buy that it's a coordinated attack to take him down because he's doing something "dangerous."

His views are basically mainstream on the right. You can hear people saying the same shit on Fox News all day long.

I don't think it's coordinated, aside from by the media outlets responsible.

Other media outlets are now having to come out and "investigate" (ie, start making excuses).

There's no grand conspiracy between them all, it's good for some, awkward for others.

Murdoch just set out to eliminate a competitor that was easy to eliminate.

The truly frightening thing about you is the fact you might actually believe the things you say.

You're aware of the fact conservatives took control of talk radio first, have a stranglehold on the medium and lie remorselessly?

ah yes, the radio. that thing everyone listens to while sitting in their armchair next to their vintage 1950s color tv set. don't mention the fact that big tech is left and has a near stranglehold in the world's most relevant communication platforms. thank god elon bought twitter but that didn't stop the left from bawling their eyes out and demanding immediate internet censorship just cause it's not a leftist echo chamber anymore with drag queens and covid psy-ops being blasted 24/7.

Or that Fox is the most powerful cable corporation in America, was founded on the principle of presenting conservative lies as truth and is so biased their broadcasters attend and promote conservative candidates?

You throw around the accusations of Lügenpresse with absolutely no self-awareness. That's frightening.

He's right. Cringe at the frightening at the end of your post, really pukeworthy.

Thats how I see it too. I believe smear jobs happen. But you have to explain why Russell Brand and why now

why is it that people always go iTs ThE MeDiA oUt To Get HiM foR hIs ViEws

his views are fucking nothing berries, hes literally just another boring podcaster with nothing interesting to say.

Hes been talked about being a predator for at least 15 years now.

None of it is surprising or shocking, and as usual, those who preach the most, usually are hiding the most.

What in his post is incorrect?

That's the rights go to these days , trump, rush and Alex Jones broke their brains

I'm not following this story. But, what was its genisis?

A) a woman came forward with claims. After these claims were heard, others came forward.

B) a journalist/documentary maker went around interviewing his former girlfriends until they found something disparaging to publish.

Either way, a guy in his 30s 'dating' a 16 year old is f*****g gross and possibly illegal.

he's posting like a complete shill and pretending that radio is relevant in 2023 and ignores the fact that social media is king and owned by hardcore leftists who've been silencing the right since 2015. thank god for elon.

both the left and the right lie and it ebbs and flows throughout history but the king of Fake News have been leftists for the past decade and still going strong.

I have no doubt Brand is a shit bag.

He's a pseudo intellectual who blatantly peddles bullshit for money. As always with grifters, it's more than apparent these aren't even his true beliefs. He's a liar, through and through.

However what worries me is that if he had been a good little boy and starred in children's films, this investigation probably wouldn't have happened.

How many 'acceptable' shit bags are out there ruining lives and getting away with it because they are not politically polarising?

Quite a few I imagine, and that's wrong.

The only reason it wouldn't happen is because Disney owns the media and would protect their own however there are so many cases with other famous people that come out all the time.

The issue here is that women who are victims of these crimes don't want to come out and relive their experiences. Just look at the Danny Masterson case. It took 6 years for him to get convicted. That is a lot of money and time. The women obviously get enticed and looked for but if you were a victim of a rape, how likely are you to want to publicize your situation so early let alone at all? You have to relive your trauma everyday for years on end just for the off chance this rich/famous person goes to jail. How many different articles are made about you then you have the crazy fans on your back everyday. Then you have people who will automatically dismiss you because of CTs out there. Women in general who get raped by nobodies are unlikely to want to report it. Rape in general will put a stigma on your relationship and family situation. How many people would want to ruin their lives instead of just burying it and trying to move forward? Now imagine that with the world prying into your whole life. I doubt I would have the courage to do that if I was a female.

I bet famous people get away with this everyday and more shit has happened than is reported.

I have had bad situations that are far less than this that I have hidden to my friends/family. I can't imagine what I would do if I was a women that got raped.

The women also does not control the media so maybe she did come forward before and nobody cared?

 

[andnowweknow]

So the idea is that positive sexual encounters cancel out negative ones?

I'm pretty sure nobody thinks Russell Brand was guilty of rape every time he fucked someone. If indeed he ever raped anyone, of course.

it wasn't like this before. you can thank scumbag politics and polarization for casting doubt on everything now.

30 years ago the reaction to ukraine would have been "omg, save ukraine!". now it's like "yeah...money laundering? corruption? 10% to the big guy and to everyone in congress?".

They're living in a world where conservatives are the oppressed underdogs and the system is out to get them.

Corporate interests are heavily invested in Republicans winning and have invested billions in the enormous advantage they have in media.

Steven fucking Crowder turned down fifty million a year that's how much money there is in conservative media.

Exactly. Why is the media obligated to post all of his experiences with women? If it was 80% positive then does it somehow make the case disappear?

Even if it is only one rape. He needs to go to jail.

I even had some crazy poster in this thread forgive him for everything because he has been "good" for the last decade lol.

Crazy logic everywhere.

pretending that radio is relevant in 2023 and ignores the fact that social media is king which is owned by hardcore leftists who've been silencing the right since 2015. thank god for elon.

I was running through the history of media in America, and if you don't think radio was impossibly influential for fifty years you're an idiot. Then it was television which conservatives bought immediately, and now it's social media where they've been dominant since day one.

And yeah, Elon, a billionaire who wanted to control information, bought Twitter and cut liberals out completely. He literally banned people on instructions from Cat Turd and Andy Ngo. If you look at what he's doing for more than a few seconds and think he cares even a little bit about free speech you're mentally handicapped, he recently stripped the automotive union of their blue check out of spite.

History is important, have you forgotten McCarthyism? Was that liberals oppressing conservatives or was it conservatives calling their enemies communist and erasing them from media?

Discussing this with husband who didn't read his books like I did but liked him equally till he got all political he thinks he may have done it but he was so off his face...I don't think he would have been FORCEFUL though, who fucking knows. I'll be really quite upset if he did...but I really can't see it.

This sounds like an unhealthy parasocial relationship. He is a complete stranger to you and all you know of him is mostly based off of what he presents to the public in his role as a public figure.

I get being a fan of folks, but he's still a complete stranger ro you or anyone else on this board.
