Russell Brand Fans Say Hes Officially Lost His Mind After Latest Right-Wing Conspiracy Vide

Russell Brand, an actor typically known for his more liberal political opinions, is starting to lean heavily into right-wing conspiracies on his YouTube channel, leaving fans flummoxed and upset.

On Tuesday, one of Brand’s recent YouTube videos, titled “Trump was RIGHT About Clinton & Russia Collusion!!” started going viral. In it, he claims there is “serious evidence” that Hillary Clinton worked with Russia to create this “conspiracy.”

Yep, that's the meth talking.

The link to the Clinton campaign was widely reported back in 2017. People are disputing that now?

I like about 2/3 of what he says on his show, but this is silly.

The media want to silence him. They don't want another Rogan. Thus the articles based on random individuals' tweets.

What the fuck is this limey banging on about when it comes to Hillary Clinton or Trump or anything else in American politics? Why is he getting his panties in a twist over what doesn't concern him? He lives in LA, apparently, but his citizenship appears to be British. He's not a dual citizen, right? So STFU.

no I think he lives in england now - he can talk about whoever he wants to talk about

He's not an American. He can mind his own country's business and pedophile princes.

I wish all UK people and media would stop talking about America. The Guardian included.

I wish America would stop focusing so much on the English and England - starting with DL and our cute actors and TV shows. Thanks.

I mean, you've got a royal prince hanging out with Epstein and banging teenagers, you're gonna garner the world's attention. 😉

That said, of course Russell can get high AF and rattle on about anything he wants. He's probably destroying his career, but then, it was basically over anyway.

I agree that all the imports talking about American politics (e.g. Noah, Oliver) should STFU. It doesn’t matter if the he really got citizenship.

^ if they got citizenship.

Why the fuck are Brits so goddamn obsessed with the US? Stay the fuck out of our country and mind your own business! Go worry about shitty England.

I agree. Rupert Murdoch has American citizenship and I still don't consider him an American. The same with these other assholes. It's just like I'll never be British. I will always be an outsider because I'm not from the UK. I'm an American and I grew up in America born and bread in American culture etc.

You can't just move to another country and decide that you're now apart of that country's culture! It doesn't work that way. You're an immigrant, not a natural citizen of that country, period.

Trouble makers love coming to America for some reason. I hate it too.

And some bleeding heart liberals keep saying we should embrace immigration even though many of these fuckers become right wing assholes to suck up to Anglos.

R18 There's a right wing republican asshole living in Texas whose from Australia. Again, he immigrated here, but whenever I come across him on Twitter, he always comes across as very politically divisive and always attacking liberals and democrats.

I have know idea who he is, but he's definitely an asshole. And then there's that Steve Hilton asshole overbon fox news. Whose also British. He's another divisive person on fox. I don't understand why these people are so angry? They immigrated to America and they're here supposedly for a better life and they come over here to be apart of the problems in the country, I don't get why? Why come to a country only to add to that countrys problems?

I wish some of these people would go back to their own countrys and stop coming to the US creating more problems here. We have enough issues to deal with already.

He's an ass like Joe Rogen. Look at his Covid/ Antivax videos. He was comparing public response to antivaxxers not wanting to get vaccinated to the treatment of minorities. As if they are the same thing.

Russell Brand has finally fallen for the right wing money machine. Assholes will always sell out for money, always.

He's another fake, fuck him!

by Anonymousreply 26January 7, 2022 1:57 AM

I don't think he has a solid set of internal beliefs. He may not be a true liberal but he's probably not a right winger either. He just ....latches onto various ideas .

by Anonymousreply 27January 7, 2022 1:13 PM

He’s become an insufferable conspiracy theory moron. I’m just sick of this shit.

I do not think he is using drugs again. I feel this is a manic episode.

by Anonymousreply 29January 7, 2022 1:33 PM

This is no surprise whatsoever. He was always the sort of leftist who leaned towards absolutism, and so was always susceptible to wackadoo theories. Cf. Glenn Greenwald; cf. all the crunchy hippy types who are anti-vaxx loons.

R31 because there are no signs, at least to me, that he is using drugs. Russell suffers from Bipolar disorder. His speech and thought process appears to be manic.

Russell can be quite interesting for a covert narcissist who likes to lounge in front of the camera with half his chest exposed. I don't take him all that seriously. I think he can be quite thoughtful at times and at least is willing to discuss things a lot of people are uncomfortable with, it seems. At other times I think he just likes to stir the pot and watch the reaction .

Talking about uncomfortable topics isn't in and of itself a noble thing.

His youtube channel is massively popular. I was shocked at the numbers his channel was getting. He could very easily occupy a space next to Rogan. It's probably true that the more popular he gets, the more desperate the establishment will be to silence him. Russel's videos are actually funny. His impression of Janet Yellen during his segment about the 2008 crash was priceless.

It also says something about our political climate that the right can embrace someone with different political opinion, yet the left will constantly try to destroy you if you disagree with them on something that's even basic.

by Anonymousreply 38January 7, 2022 4:19 PM

What I don't like about Russell is, he's not American but he's online talking about American politics and he's helping to influence people in the US who by into thus crazy shit and all of that will only help to further destabilize the US further. And it's all being done by foreign actors, which Russell is one of.

And when I say actors, I'm not talking about showbiz actors. I'm talking about people who don't mean the US well. That's for the simple minded people.

He's definitely problematic.

I saw him on his Messiah tour, and was so excited to see him live. What he loves most is the sound of his own voice, attention, and money. It was clear during the show, which was pretty awful.

You can make a lot more money as a right wing YouTuber, especially when you start leaning into product endorsements and sponsored content. .

R43 It's because the establishment media is very left wing. CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, NY Times, WaPo. The only way to compete with those juggernauts is to provide alternative content.

Brand honestly was best when he was laughing it up with Craig Ferguson. He uses a torrent of words to disguise the fact he's really not that educated. Smart, yes. He is obviously an attention whore.
