Anyone seen his videos? He seems to be getting a lot of attention recently with his rants about america and politics

 

Here's one of his latest

 

 

He also has been encouraging people not to vote at next election as a protest of how politics is in this country

Fox news are such an easy target and Jon Stewart does a far, far better job lampooning them through satire than Russell Brand ever can charging around doorstepping people. 

 

I really don't get what Russell Brand is trying to accomplish. He should take a leaf out of Frankie Boyle's book, who is far sharper politically but permeates his politics by being occasionally hilarious. Russell Brand just comes across as a dumb anarchist.

I watch them. Sometimes I agree, other times he gets on my nerves. He means well, and is honest enough to admit that part of the reason he does it, is for his own ego. I know a lot of people absolutely hate him, but I like his stand up stuff, and I think he's got some decent ideas. On the flip side, I think he's way off the mark with his non voting stance, but I see how he's developed the idea.

I don't know how he has been doing it or his reasoning but I fully support the idea and hope that it would be incredibly effective.

At around 60% turnout, the politicians (and most of the electorate) can still blame the apathy of those that don't vote rather than the incompetence of the elected, the electorate and the system.

Edit: I'm not a fan of Mr Brand.

He is a bell end. I'm not sure I want to be lectured about him about politics really, he should stick to what he's good at.

I was about to give you a like

Then I struggled to think what exactly he is actually good at

He's not for me ... Though tbf he does a reasonable job in the minion movies

But politics wise he's only going to appeal to fake socialists and people that think Mehdi Hasan was awesome on question time

True, though somehow he ended up being best friends with Noel Gallagher and had Katy Perry flashing West Ham knickers whilst hosting an awards show, which probably makes him the one person on the planet I'd like to have been despite me thinking he's an utter tit (and supporting the Villa not West Ham obv). Actually the fact that he ended a marriage to Katy Perry reinforces what a bellend he is.
