When did Russell Brand become the newest D-list celeb alt-right convert? I know maintaining relevance is hard but...
He seemed to follow the Left Wing conspiracy theory - - - > Right Wing conspiracy theory path but with a massive dose of ego.
There is a disturbing overlap with certain left circles, usually in the health, wellness, hippie, yoga, meditation area, that shares antivax notions, who then are susceptible to being redpilled because of this overlap
I've heard it referred to as the crunchy to alt-right pipeline
Those things that aren't really fixed to one end of the polictal spectrum, sounds alot like the silicon valley VC lot too
For example, the furthest left parts of Portland, OR do not allow fluoride in the water
Having a cluster A personality disorder is independent of the left/right political spectrum.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russell Brand has vehemently denied “very serious criminal allegations” about his personal life, in a video in which he does not specify what the claims are but insists his relationships have always been consensual.
Andrew Tate, a self-proclaimed misogynist who is awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, which he denies, and who has claimed in the past that he has been attacked by the media, also appeared to defend Brand, tweeting “welcome to the club” to him.
In his video, Brand decried “coordinated media attacks” in the past against figures such as the controversial podcast host Joe Rogan after he announced he was taking the deworming drug ivermectin to treat Covid-19 in 2021.
The host of the Stay Free with Russell Brand podcast has previously appeared to promote “natural immunity” over vaccines.
While he has always been a contrarian, the Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor has drifted from being a mainstream comedian with leftwing views to something of a figurehead for the online alt-right in recent years.
In July, he shared his platform with the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who has pushed far-right conspiracy theories and was fired from the channel in April.
