When it comes to verbal diarrhea disguised as 'deep political conscience' few 'comedians' come close to the utter annoying stupidity that is the Russel Brand Show (and yes it is nothing but a brand).
- Kristine Marsh, 4 Sept 2014, wades through the filthy swamp of Russell Brand's opinions on every subject.
- The cause of jihad
- Russell Brand talks rubbish on the Woolwich jihad attack, 25 May 2013.
- He has no idea why the Woolwich beheading happened, and doesn't want to know. He says the killer is mentally ill and compares him to loner Mark Chapman. If only he was a loner, we could relax! But of course he is no loner. Calling him a loner makes as much sense as calling IRA terrorists loners.
- Brand claims the Quran's main message is: "be nice to each other because we're all the same." He knows nothing about it.
- He says Islamic anger is partly justified! "all over our country, all over our planet there are huge numbers of people who feel alienated and sometimes victimised by the privileged and the powerful, whether that's rich people, powerful corporations or occupying nations. They feel that their interests are not being represented and, in many cases, know that their friends and families are being murdered by foreign soldiers. I suppose people like that may look to their indigenous theology for validation and to sanctify their, to some degree understandable, feelings of rage."
- A disgusting slander on Britain and an apologist for the Islamic jihadists. Shame on him.
- More drivel on the cause of jihad:
- Russell Brand on the cause of ISIS, Aug 2014. Apparently the US and UK are the cause of ISIS. Muslims and Arabs have no moral agency, it seems.
- Britain's Greatest Idiot says: "It's always the people at the end of the line that get blamed. I'm not saying that ISIS aren't terrible. That conversation - We're not idiots. We don't need to have a conversation 'is beheading bad? Yes or no. We've had that conversation. Beheading is bad. But it's always people that are at the end of the line - the people that smash a window, the people that pick up a brick, the people that take drugs, the people that are the consequence of this cultural imperialism and corporate corruption. If you want that stuff to end, get the head of the serpent, stop going down these hopeless, pathetic tendrils. Of course, you need to stop those kind of executions and brutality but don't put them people in charge - the people that benefit from it financially."
- He does not identify what "the head of the serpent" is. Maybe because we would laugh at him.
- Few people in the West know less about ISIS than Russell Brand.
- The cause of poverty
- Brand knows nothing about global poverty. He blames third world poverty on the West.
-
He visits Kenya
and he sees terrible poverty.
He does not blame Kenya's
lack of economic freedom.
He does not blame Kenya's
lack of political freedom.
He does not blame Africa's poor embrace of the western scientific way of thinking that has made us rich.
No, somehow (it is never explained) it is our fault.
"The price of privilege is poverty."
In Oct 2013, millionaire Russell Brand (net worth $15 m) made an embarrassing call for "revolution". -
Russell Brand on revolution, New Statesman, 24 Oct 2013.
- Like all historical illiterates, he admires revolution and direct action, and has contempt for voting and parliamentary democracy. "I'd attended a few protests and I loved them. At a Liverpool dockers march, the chanting, the bristling, the ripped up paving stones and galloping police horses in Bono glasses flipped a switch in me. I felt connected, on a personal level. I was excited by the chaos, a necessary component of transition."
- He excuses the 2011 England rioters, and we know that riot, theft and destruction would be excused in his revolutionary "utopia": "The London riots in 2011, which were condemned as nihilistic and materialistic by Boris and Cameron (when they eventually returned from their holidays), were by that very definition political. These young people have been accidentally marketed to their whole lives without the economic means to participate in the carnival."
- He calls for revolution, not voting. "I have never voted. ... I will never vote and I don't think you should, either. ... Revolt in whatever way we want, with the spontaneity of the London rioters ... Take to the streets, together".
- Because policy should not be decided by the votes of the busy and elderly and housebound. Policy should be decided by the violence of the idle and young.
- Another dumb leftist with recycled leftist ideas. He clearly has never read a book about communism.
- He actually goes out on the street, leading incoherent mobs, rioting and vandalising:
- Russell Brand leads an incoherent rioting mob, London, Nov 2013. The mob throws fireworks and bottles and assaults the police.
-
Russell Brand leads an incoherent rioting mob, London, Nov 2014.
The mob vandalises property
and assaults the police.
Of course, like every uneducated dumbass, Russell Brand is anti-Israel. Uneducated man bangs on about Israel, July 2014, a topic he knows nothing about.
Israellycool, 20 July 2014, gives the highlights, if you can't stand listening to incoherent ramble.
One sample of his ignorance: "Palestinian sovereignty was agreed and their borders have been continually impeached upon since the establishment of Israel."
What's the bets this guy has never even heard of the Ottoman Empire?
Russell Brand reminds me of the people Derek Hopper talks about.
Russell Brand appears to be a racist as well as an industrial-grade idiot.
- Jason Riley is a conservative black American, author of Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed (2014).
- Now for a leftie, it's important to attack Riley's ideas and not attack him as a black person. But Brand can't manage it.
- Russell Brand went on a racist rant about Jason Riley in August 2014. He told him that as a black person he has to think in a certain way, something he would never say to white people. To view people as a collective rather than individuals is the core of racism.
- Brand attacks Riley: "I am a convenient African-American who will betray my racial roots for Fox News." If he accused a white person of betraying his "racial roots" for something, the racism would be obvious.
- He even mocks Riley for "doing a white person type voice".
- In a second racist video,
Brand calls Riley
"a rent a black man"
for Fox News.
He has no idea how racist this way of thinking is.
"liberal democracy, for all its discontents and frustrations, is still better than any of the plausible or previously established alternatives. It is certainly superior to what one imagines Russell Brand's utopia would look like." - Alex Massie on the ignorant Russell Brand.
Former Sex Pistol John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, tells Polly Toynbee that comedian Russell Brand's call for people not to vote is ignorant, flippant and liable to 'make you all homeless'. Lydon also explains why he'd never vote Conservative, labels Ukip 'morons' and calls anarchy a 'mind game for the middle classes'
