Russell Brand may be a horrible person. And if he is he is guilty he should be convicted and thrown in jail.
But the government using this as an attempt to silence him is not a conspiracy. It is a fact.
@domalino
Multiple things can be true at the same time. Russell could be a degenerate. But the government might also be purposely targeting him today for his past acts because of his actions today that they disagree with.
Why does this idea seem so complex?
It is not a “fact”.
You can’t just make up a new meaning for the word “fact”.
In fairness, I don't know. But you shouldn't conclude that just because I don't know why he may be targeted , that means he isn't being targeted
Which is implied in the tone of your question.
What is the more likely explanation for what is happening now?
1) Brand—a self-confessed once sex addict, drug addict, and “horrible arsehole”—committed many acts of sexual misconduct, abuse, and potentially rape over a number of years, and a four year investigation based on mounting discussion within the industry revealed that he had at least four victims with strong enough cases against him to pass a bevy of lawyer checks and high level media exec sign offs to be published in a major exposé by investigative journalist which Brand, on the advice of his lawyers, did not attempt to stop via legal action or officially rebuke (even after the program aired), with many more women now coming forward to speak to abuse they suffered at his hands.
2) There is a many year conspiracy, perpetrated by the UK government, Dispatch, The Sunday Times, an increasing cabal of women that don’t have any connection to each other aside from Brand and have almost nothing to gain from accusing him (and, in many cases, quite a bit to lose), and likely hundreds of other people to silence a comedian grifter who was becoming increasing irrelevant and was absolutely no threat to any government.
Well, both Rumble and TikTok declined the government request. And Rumble posted the letter.
It's almost certain now that the immediacy of YouTube and Paramount's suspension of Brand is most likely as a result of a similar letter to those released by Rumble and Tiktok.
Perhaps that's what it is. It's wrong and worrisome.
I suppose they like their own degenerates more than they do degenerates who don't like them. This makes them human.
It is not “almost certain”. There is no evidence a letter from someone at the UK Parliament was the reason YouTube demonetised his channel (they didn’t suspend him) or Paramount suspended production.
You are taking adding two and two together and getting a bushel of bananas.
My values lean conservative. But somehow you think I should be ashamed of my values. I'm not.
But for what it's worth, you are not a particularly good representation leftist values. Or perhaps you are. Hmmm...
Only in your mind do you values—based on your comments on a great many subjects, events, and topics over the years—do you merely “lean” conservative.
You make ridiculous assumptions supported by no evidence, try to redefine what “fact” means, claim massive, implausible conspiracies for anything that happens to far-right nutters you admire, and constantly claim moral and intellectual impartiality and superiority.
