And ask ourselves what that says about us and our unconscious, that we persecute the truly innocent, chosen ones.

Forgive me father, for I know not what I do.🙏🙏🙏

The anger is absolutely seething out of him towards the end there. Truly Christ-like.

I watched the video with the sound off. He's snarling like a dog. Scary bloke.

He figured out that the average person thinks you are highly intelligent if you say words they don't understand. The only book he's probably read is a thesaurus.

Intelligent people can communicate in clear language without needing to obfuscate every sentence.

LlynTegid · 20/09/2023 20:25

I have not watched the video, but if he is making a comparison with Jesus, do the blasphemy laws still exist? Or grounds for being sectioned under the Mental Health Act?

I wish RB would crawl back into the shit pile he crawlwd out of and permantly fuck off.

LOL

oakleaffy · 20/09/2023 20:27

He's absolutely gross how he has abused women.

He isn't a ''sacrificial lamb'' , just a perverted little man {in my opinion} treating women this way.

Mumwithbaggage · 20/09/2023 20:28

I remember all of that shite trying to be clever language he used back in the day - never impressed me. Arse of the highest order.

So did I. He's a very scary, aggressive man.

SpidersAreShitheads · 20/09/2023 20:28

Fuck me, he's getting desperate now isn't he?!

SchadenfreudeIstMeinMittelname · 20/09/2023 20:31

I don't think Jesus shagged multiple women after every public appearance.

Somaliwildass · 20/09/2023 20:31

He already did a show all about his Messiah complex about ten years ago

It’s amazing what computers can do these days, innit?

It has all been said before, nothing new there, a less angry approach would be better though, try "Quest Of The Overself" by Paul Brunton for a calmer insight.

IThoughtTerryWoganWasMyDad · 20/09/2023 20:32

Utter narcissist, he already put something in place didn't he, as narcs always do "I've always been open about my drug use and promiscuity" bollocks.
He's 100% gone down the Trump and Wooten battle cry of "Quick, quick they're trying to take away all of your rights"
I'll call out anyone, even if they have the same ideals as myself, I only wish his supporters could see that he's manipulating them.
It may well have all come to light because someone/big company wants to silence him.
Doesn't make it untrue.

plumtreebroke · 20/09/2023 20:34

You do understand what he did? Even if you don't believe the rape etc, he has admitted to treating women abominably. Hardly a sacrificial lamb he has been getting away with horrible behaviour towards women (some of them closer to being lambs) since he was a small sheep until he was and is a ram. No sympathy from me.

TooBigForMyBoots · 20/09/2023 20:36

Listen, I get where yis are coming from. I too was a doubter. A disparager even. I may not have typed the actual words "fuck the misogynist, rapist who uses power and wealth to abuse and silence women", but I probably did.

Then I watched his tictoc. At no point did he sexually assault anyone when he was in the present, on the screen. The past is the past. We cannot change that, but in the time Brand was on camera, explaining stuff about Jesus and Buddha, he wasn't raping anybody.

If you think about it, he may not have assaulted or threatened a woman for a while now. All that was the past. It's important to be present, in the now. And he might not rape anyone in the future.

If you're talking to the OP, you might want to wipe all that egg off your face....

"The past is the past" 😂 alright, lets not send rapists, murderers, anyone, to prison as it's all in the past!

HelenFisksBrownSuit · 20/09/2023 20:41

Fair enough. I cannot tell anymore! The world is full of idiots...

Not that dim. He timed it for when the famously understaffed Night Watch would be on.

Biffatcrafts · 20/09/2023 20:43

I might have murdered somebody in the past. But in the now, in the present, I'm not murdering anyone, or planning to in the future.

Does that mean I shouldn't pay for what I did?

I cannot, shouldn't not, and I will not ever accept excuses for sexual abuse and rape. He absolutely should be held to account in a court of law.
