Give me another reason to stand up for a famous hollywood star you know nothing real about, just a carefully and expensively crafted media persona.

I’m all for a good discussion around the social implications of false accusations, but there’s an exceptional amounting of simping going on for one specific special boy.

Aside from false accusations - how about tech monopolies (only beholden to profits/shareholders) being judge, jury and executioner?

  Yes, Brand has been executed by having his YouTube account demonetized. There’s no difference between not being paid by YouTube, but still being allowed to post videos, and being convicted of a crime. No difference whatsoever.

    That’s a funny impression of an idiot you made just now. Because obviously you know as well as everyone else that executioner in that context means executioner of the sentence. But enough jesting, let’s get back on topic.

    I stopped reading at the insult. This is not Reddit. If you can’t talk to me without insulting me, I’m not interested. I’ll just block you if it happens again. If you want to talk to me without the insults, fine.

  I agree that capitalism is bad.

He helped save Sarah Marshall, that has to count for something
