Reminds me of when someone leaves Scientology. He's been famous for shagging for years. The #metoo thing has been going on for years. Brand has in recent years become increasingly anti elitist and has grown a mass following outside the mainstream. I'll reserve judgement until after the show, but my initial insitinct is he's as easy a target as Liam Gallagher would be if he turned political and started quetioning the Neo Con - Marxist axis.

I once met someone who thought comic con was a guise for ‘commie con’ and then had decided that all the marvel cartoons and dress up was a front for communists to meet in large numbers.
Would this be for lovers of the Matrix and Con Air films?

There is no Neo Con - Marxist alliance.

The traditional right wing attack Neo Cons by calling them Marxist, playing into the general population's fear of Marxism based on decades old anti-Communist propaganda. It's an attack more commonly used in the US as Britain doesn't have the same boogeyman fear of Marxism.

Neo Cons pay lip service to some Marxist or left wing terminology or social policies, but largely purely on surface level, to present themselves as more likeable to the left wing and/or profit from them.

What we're really lacking is some genuine Marxism. The closest we've had in recent years would be Sanders and Corbyn, and it was the Neo Cons that sabotaged them, not the traditional right wing.

Of all the stupidity coming from the right in recent times, which is an inordinate amount, the use of the words Marxism/Marxist is probably the most extravagant for me. It quite literally never has any connection whatsoever with the actual meaning of the words.

Words don't mean anything anymore.

I find it incredibly odd that ‘anti-elitist’ gets increasingly used to describe people who support Trump / Republican Party and are Putin apologists.

It’s an amazing mind trick that the right have pulled to make people genuinely believe that being right wing / conservative is somehow going against the Elites… rather than with them.

We had it also in UK with Brexit - ‘stick it to the Elite by voting Brexit’… like, really!? You’re really buying this?

It’s amazing. It’s real, genuine, bonafide Doublethink.

To be clear, are you saying that the exploitation of Haitian children is not a pleasant watch, or are you saying that the Clintons are pedophiles who kidnapped children for the satanic illuminati?

I’m edging towards the latter. Could be wrong though. Hope I am.

Oh no..I was just highlighting the Forest Gump one. I could not even get myself to watch the Haiti video,,that might be too disturbing for me.
 
Let’s see how the other three sexual assault accusations pan out before knighting this guy.

I don't know the guy bc I don't care about baseball but glad for him. What a fecking nightmare and a reminder (myself) of the innocence presumption in this believe the women clima. I fully understand why, because it is staggering what women had to suffer, but there is a tiny tiny percentage that will try to feck a famous person for personal gain and will partially destroy the argument for the rest of women

I don't know. I'm not sure this is as black and white as it looks on first viewing.
He paints a good picture but none of those texts are really all that incriminating and could be seen in a humorous light if we could see all of the convo.

He fails to mention that she got $300k from her insurance company and agreed to settle on those grounds. There are also the two other cases against him for similar. It's hard to know what went on but I wouldn't be rushing to call her a liar based on his version of events.

Well, my sentence is based on what he said and specially that he was acquitted. The settlement was for a second trial where he sued her
 
The full reading of the case/what she filed was mental. It's amazing how he has never been dragged through the mud till now

I hope his career is finally finished, I don't really get what he is so good at. He doesn't even write or produce any music does he?

Don't worry if he writes rhymes, he writes cheques for sexual assault allegations

Axl Rose sued for alleged violent sexual assault by former model

In lawsuit filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, Sheila Kennedy alleges the Guns N’ Roses singer assaulted her in 1989
Click to expand...

I have no doubts that bad things went on in and around that band, and all bands of that nature in that time. They definitely weren't pretending to be something they weren't. Kennedy actually detailed this assault in a film a few years back and talked about how Rose switched from being nice to violent to nice again. She also says in the same film that the sex they had was consensual, so I don't see how this goes anywhere.
