He says people are penalizing Brand with no evidence. I say people are lionizing Brand as an anti-establishment hero for no reason. Where are these penalties? He's getting 100 times more attention than normal.

Yeah, this whole anti-establishment thing is a bit of a joke. You'd think he was starting a revolution or effecting even the tiniest shred of political change/pressure. None of the people watching him on YouTube were ever going to do anything beyond calling a few people "sheep" on Twitter and convincing themselves they're victims of some devious conspiracy that only they were smart enough to see.

The idea that the global elite saw him as such a threat that they decided to take him down by making a documentary about his widely rumoured sexual assault is...well, let's be kind and say it's pretty shallow thinking.
