That may be so, but I also still distinctly remember him being a huge advocate for socialism. He also popped into the spotlight seemingly overnight from genuine obscurity and, as I'm aware, he's still on yt and elsewhere. I think we all know by now the process these people have to go through just to become culturally relevant. I hope I'm wrong, trust me, but I seem to be right on Musk when people were lining up to suck his dick on tdw. But he might have changed.
I think your instincts are right. He has the whiff of controlled opposition. He is allegedly worth £15m which he won’t want to lose in a hurry. No more acting gigs but an ego that big needs an outlet hence the podcasts which as you say he gets to put out there unscathed despite claiming to be and demonstrably being “edgy”.
I dunno, Brand, in spite of his "Rebel without a care" persona, strikes me as the kind of person who sees the writing on the wall in bright screaming neon.
Soft prediction here, but the ball that started rolling with the WSJ is about to pick up speed.
give it a month, maybe three at most, and you're gonna see first a trickle, then a tidal wave of celebrities clamoring to get on the MAGA Express, or at the very least riding in its wake.
He only popped out of obscurity to us in the US. He was a fairly famous comedian in Britain for a while before making a name in the US. But, yes. I don’t trust anyone that made it in Hollywood and was married to a cabal puppet like Katy Perry. But I also am open minded that he could change and want to be a force of good. Maybe his strings are cut. Who knows.
You're right. Russell Brand is a hardcore socialist and general knobhead. However, he's a loose cannon. The UK government is ran by the Conservative Party. In reality they conserve nothing and are actually fairly socialist, but hardcore socialists regard them as far right. Russell Brand therefore hates the UK government.
It's therefore not a surprise that someone like Russell Brand would speak out against WuFlu propaganda, given that he hates the UK government and the UK government have been big promoters of WuFlu propaganda.
He didn't pop into the spotlight overnight. He was a presenter on obscure UK cable channels for a few years, then he became a presenter on the support show for Big Brother, then he gradually worked his way onto mainstream UK channels, then he got into Hollywood. He was already very famous in the UK before he got into Hollywood.
He shouldn't be trusted, though. I've read his first biography, and he openly admits he is a massive liar. Many of his stories involve him telling massive lies. In his biography he follows the idea 'if you're going to tell a lie, make it a big one'. For example, he was going to be fired from his job as a teacher of English to foreign students, due to absence, so he pretended he had AIDS to keep his job.
Russell has had a bit of an awakening in recent years. He might not be fully on the same page as us, but what we do have in common is that he doesn't like authority.
Do you remember how Hollywood drug him through the mud saying he was in and out of rehab, and a drug addict. Seems like they casted him out.

Oh what a world it is we live in that we call skepticism edgy, bahaha. The worst part is that you're not even wrong.

If he's anti-authoritiarian, it's odd how he ever considered himself a socialist. Maybe he turned leaf but I don't buy quite it.
