Wow, that was a lot of words to say “I’d rather believe there is a vast conspiracy involving lots of people than that a man I like lies and abuses women”

So is it John Bishop then?
The answer is, Everton.Was reading up on Rickie Lambert last night.
Do you think these people realise they are utterly crazy?
I mean I know they dont, they think they are free thinkers and not sheep like the rest of us, but how do you get your life so twisted that makes you think that everything is out to get you?
Anyway, I digress.
It's not shocking anymore. The way the Covid-unvaccinated were treated (everywhere, not just here) was a real eye-opener. Makes one understand how the Nazis got as far as they did. There's something about human-nature that can be tapped into...a conformity gene, an ancient instinct to survive by staying with the herd.
The absurd thing about these kind of reactions is that they come from folk who think of themselves as 'liberal open-minded caring' types.
Yet look at the comment below, and the likes it got.
This here - in context of the government putting pressure to deplatform Russell Brand's anti-government content - is advocating plain state-fascism. If tsubaki & anyone who agrees with him had their way, our only options going forward would be to trust authority and their 'reliable sources'. Anything and anyone against that would be labelled unreliable & potentially dangerous and cast out of the public square.
After a decade or so of this kind of thing, we end up living in a fascist regime and most people either won't notice or even appreciate it.
This is the deeper context behind the Russell Brand Sex Scandal, these coordinated campaigns are orchestrating the reactions of people like we see here: the posters in this thread enthusiastically sharing Twitter links of the latest alleged deviant behaviour, further hammering the message, while not considering the bigger picture. These posts are celebrated, which encourages more of the same...further making counter-views appear alien, unwelcome and even inflammatory.
This was the playbook with Assange, and I bet many still think he's a bad 'rapist' despite all that's happened since.
On Russell: while I accept he may have some serious questions to answer as regards to his previous sexual encounters, the timing & establishment-coordination is extremely suspect.
@those who think he timed his anti-establishment shtick to coincide with the beginning of investigations against him: yous may not be aware this 'shtick' has been his philosophy for many years:
Whether you think he's talking bollocks or not, he's been talking about these things ("alternate political systems" = anti-establishment) for at least a decade. Just that a decade ago he didn't have millions of followers and meaningful cultural influence on judging the next vaccine-campaigns and UK/US-elections.
The GOT community has gotten too echo-chambery to consider things like this. Waste of time for me now. Sadly, elsewhere online is also full of echo chambers. I've been banned from lots of places, so at least we can say GOT is officially more tolerant than most (even if its community is not). Twitter, for all its issues - incoherent discussion being one! - may now be the most balanced debate-platform out there.
I'm not dropping the mic, just gonna wistfully put it down and not touch it around here again.
See yous in another life, brothers

This is a weird shift in popular culture. I remember Brand being labelled left when.I thought he was just a posh prick trustafarian type, all beak, beads and bravado.Can I just ask a pertinent question BTW...
As it's now the heat of the battle and all the Gammon's are tripping over themselves to blame the BBC just in case these 'allegations' prove to be true and all of the very worst elements of Trumpite mouthbreathers have told us that 'big Pharma' are behind this witch hunt against a good and upstanding right wing flat earther,......
Was Brand ever actually a poster boy for or ever accepted by the LEFT for anything other than a misogynist, flash Harry caricature?
I'm on the left, the real left, not some modern day bastardisation of what was once 'the left and I've always utterly despised him as a manipulative, lairy loud mouthed chancer.
BUT, apparently, at some point, before he strategically moved himself in bed with the likes of Tucker Himmler, Musk, Rogan, Hartley-Wasp Chewer and the rest of the absolute rancid abominations, he was the 'darling of the 'left'? Has this ever actually been a thing?
From my own point of view, I would've gladly kicked his balls through the top of his head at any point over the last 20 years.
The range of political beliefs is more like a circle than a spectrum, and it doesn’t take too much to go from far left to far right. Both ends are full of loons and burn it all down nihilists.Then he started picking up some genuine left topics about the banking system and capitalism, real left wing arguments highlighting the corrupt elements of moneyed power, then that drew in the ultra conspiratorial helmets in Americky so to remain relevant he pandered to their wet dreams.
The hyenas are tearing flesh and now scranning its very bones. Wow.
Where's Emir when you need him.Someone rag someone.
Just need Piers Morgan for the full houseGiven he's attracted the support of Lawrence Fox, Andrew Tate, Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk, I'm good with castrating the faux meth head and giving him the chair
It's been coming a long time. I'd bet even his mother thinks he's a detestable shîthouse.I'll give him his dues, absolutely united the forum in disgust and disdain I've not seen since the Sam Allardyce era.
What a buffoon.
