"Currants Bw..."

[Letters]

Seems Russel Brand is about to be massively cancelled.

No. He's been accused of some quite serious things. By multiple people. That's not what being cancelled is. This is not a response to anything he has said

randomly a few days ago some of his videos started popping up on my feeds I watched some and was amazed at how much he's changed, seemed to be very enlightened these days.

It's not random. He's fallen down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole. You're very deep down there too so with all the other shit you no doubt watch it's not at all surprising or random that his videos would be promoted to you by the algorithm. And obviously by "enlightened" you mean he believes all the same shit you believe, we've discussed how those beliefs have led you to utter nonsense conclusions like how the Covid lockdowns would never end.

Now this.

You think there's some causation between some of his videos appearing on your feed and these allegations?
He's been posting this shit for absolutely ages. Well over a year. If this was to "cancel" him then it makes zero sense to let him spout this nonsense for over a year and then suddenly the allegations are made.
None of his videos have been removed so in what way has he been "cancelled"? He literally did a live show on his tour over the weekend.

I'm sure there is a lot of truth to the allegations, the guy is a well known drug abusing sex addict. Does seem rather convenient though that these historical allegations are coming out now he has pivoted to an anti-establishment podcaster.

Which would make sense if he'd only just made that pivot, but he hasn't.

Slow work day again Letters?

Slow work day again Letters?

Actually no. This morning is a mess of meetings, but I'm "multi-tasking" (yes, I do mean not really listening in the meetings.)

[Marc Overmars]

Became a landlord today. I feel powerful.

You have a property empire?

[Marc Overmars]

If owning a 2 bed flat means empire then sure!

Tbh it was a long term goal of ours to save enough to buy a properly to rent out. The market in Milton Keynes is so good and we fancied a slice of that. Something to pass down to the kids one day too I guess.

Aye. My in-laws place (4 bed detached place on the poets estate in Newport Pagnell) is way cheaper than our place here (3 bed terraced on the outskirts of London).

But we did order new carpets for my office, the stairs up into the loft conversion and our bedroom, so that's something!

Yes but this is how they cancel you by character assasination.

It's not random. He's fallen down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole.

But here's the thing I always browse incognito and regularly change VPN server. My feeds are always refreshed with the defaults, it's why I constantly see that insufferable punchable face of Mr. Beast. Yet a few days ago Russell Brand started popping up on the YT homepage.

He's not been cancelled yet, he's in the process of being cancelled. I guess it's happening now because he;s gotten too much traction, like Alex Jones was on YT etc. for years before being totally deplatformed. Russell Brand has more subscribers thatn BBC and CNN, he has a bigger reach than the MSM this scares them time for him to be shut up.

I don't really care either way and I'm not really following the story I'm just noting the convenience of it all.

Let's just say Brand is some sort of prolific rapey ****

That would mean that the establishment (again) knowingly covered for someone so long as he was "on their side" and only now sell him out because he's no longer "on their side"

If he's not a rapey **** at all then its an establishment hit job on someone speaking out.

Either way the real problem here is obvious, Brand is pretty insignificant.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Brand is insignificant, and that’s why your falsely coy “this could be an establishment smear” is bollocks, because you know it is. I’m glad you compared him to Alex Jones because that’s another individual who is a conscious grifter. Alex Jones was on YT for years, he was also platformed on various mainstream media outlets. But when you start claiming that people who’s children were murdered are lying about it, leading to those people being harassed and sent death threats…it’s likely these same outlets don’t want to be tarnished by being seen to support you.

It’s a totally self-serving, arse covering exercise but the idea that he was de-platformed for getting too close to the truth? I mean I might not have a bridge to sell you but Alex Jones definitely has shit to sell you (like a water purifier after claiming chemicals were being put in water to turn frogs gay)

You really need to stop with this us and them binary. The whole documentary if you’d bothered watching it actually makes the point that Brand was allowed to carry on with impunity by channel 4 and bbc, it does not make either network look particularly good. Apart from non thinking identitarians, no one is deciding someone’s guilt based on whether they fall into this grossly simplistic establishment/non establishment box.

I think on balance it’s more likely to be true than not because there are several complainants who’s stories are all the same, so either they’ve all been coached with leaves the Times, Channel 4 and other media outlets wide open to defamation and libel lawsuits…or that they’ve done their research and there’s some truth to it.

The issue is more about why this is front and centre, and other more important news stories are not. And the answer to that is simple…news is a form of entertainment and it’s a story more likely to gain attention than floods in Libya.

[Marc Overmars]

The only thing that’s surprising about this is how long it’s taken for it to come out. He’s definitely someone you would have put your house on being a deviant.
