    He’s a right wing grifter with a history of shitty behavior and multiple allegations going back years. I feel confident in my assessment of Russell Brand as a worthless piece of shit. Unless you’re a court of law you don’t owe him the benefit of doubt.

      That’s your opinion. Him being an asshole or not is neither proof (nor lack thereof) of his guilt. And if you know for sure he’s a rapist, submit the proof to the court. The alleged victims would be very happy to have it.

        Yes, my opinion is that the sketchy grifter with a history of shitty behavior and years worth of allegations is likely guilty of doing the bad shit he gets accused of. Its a logical conclusion based on the facts available. As I said, I’m not a court. I am free to draw my own conclusions. What’s wrong?

          If your argument is that you’re free to have an opinion, that’s not much of an argument. Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one.

            My argument is that Russell Brand is a piece of shit and I’m glad he is facing justice.

      Right wing?

      Really?

      I mean I haven’t followed the guy’s politics at all, I just know him from some British panel show appearance from like 15-20 years ago.

      Obnoxious, but I would’ve guessed far left instead of right wing.

        After some previous allegations he got slightly canceled and responded by moving towards the right and getting into their conspiracy BS. I think he is one of the stops on the granola to MAGA pipeline now, if you’re into woo woo spirituality babble and are politically ignorant he is there to lead you down a path.

          There’s others as well, even without the aid of Brand that’s a well known pipeline. At least for me. I know several girls who went from slightly pissy and into spiritual bs to pretty much HC right-wing.
