Who is this maniac? We're all familiar with immersing onself in one's work as a way to cope with grief, but this guy is psychotic.

Gotta be fictional

In reading through the comments, it appears to be satire from The Onion.

I didn't even know I could read comments on shorts until I clicked on something by accident just now. lol I usually just watch then scroll to the next if I don't skip the next.

What is it saying that we think this is real?

I couldn't believe it was real. That's why I posted it.

Thankfully, I am not losing my mind.

I was just about to post that.

Here's the YouTube clip:



And of course I also remember Planned Parenthood's $8 billion abortionplex:

Congressman Falls for The Onion's Planned Parenthood 'Abortionplex' Story

Meet John Fleming, the unfortunate Republican U.S. Representative from Louisiana who made that wonderful and all-too-common mistake of thinking that an Onion article was real and telling his Facebook followers to read it.

This should be interesting -- Channel 4's Dispatches, the UK station's leading investigative documentary programme, are being uncharacteristically secretive about tonight's show, a joint investigation with The Times newspaper.

However Russell Brand, who used to identify as a left-wing comedian but now cosies up to the alt-right, thinks he knows what it's about, and he ain't happy.

Russell Brand posts video denying ‘very serious criminal allegations’

It airs today at 9 pm UK time, repeated at 2250 on Sunday. I think it's free to view from the US

and assuming The Times publishes its story at the same time, I'll post a link to The Times story here.

Ah yes. Nothing oozes sincerity like the vehement protestations to charges of misconduct that haven't even been announced by anyone yet.

That's always a bit of a tricky gambit, too, since you run the risk of protesting that you're innocent of actions no one suspected yet, but now they know where to start looking.

 

[Innula Zenovka]

I think we're seeing a combination of the Streisand and Dunning-Kruger effects at work here.

Brand's fans, of whom there are an alarming number, will, like those of Andrew Tate and Donald Trump (I suspect there's a large overlap here), conclude that it's all a plot by the Jews sinister globalist forces who control the media and the courts to discredit their hero, not that there's anything really discreditable about the alleged behaviour in the first place.

Most other people, who've long known that Brand is an irritating jerk and who don't normally pay much attention to him, or watch Dispatches or read The Times, now know to look out for the story.

Presumably, whiile I think there are rules in place about warning subjects of TV current affairs investigations about the likely content of the show, the show's producers and The Times' editor rather hoped he'd react this way.

And, as night follows day,

(Article contains multiple, detailed and very disturbing descriptions of Brand's alleged sexual assaults and coercive behaviour).

Russell Brand accused of rape, sexual assaults and abuse

Four women, including one who was just 16, make allegations after an investigation by The Sunday Times, The Times and Channel 4 Dispatches

Russell Brand accused of rape, sexual assault and abuse

He denies all the allegations but, if even some of them are true, he's in very serious trouble in either the UK or the US, or both.

He is being accused of multiple counts of rape.

Brand said the allegations pertained to the period of his career when he was working “in the mainstream”. “As I have written about extensively in my books, I was very, very promiscuous” at that time, he told his 6.59m subscribers on Friday night.

Brand continued: “Now during that time of promiscuity the relationships I had were absolutely always consensual. I was always transparent about that then, almost too transparent, and I am being transparent about it now as well.

For some reason I do not believe a word he said.

And before I’m branded a rabid, man-hating feminist, well: men, prove me wrong. Please. I’m begging you for it.

Some men have curious notions as to what exactly counts as consent. They discount resistance as women being coy or playing hard to get. Then these guys are all surprise pikachu-face when they get hauled up on assault charges.

My personal, unsupported theory is that a lot, if not most, men in the US are raised with no small amount of narcissism. I'm thinking sports, mainly, though to be fair not all men even play sports.

That's the only way I can explain the total, blind lack of empathy among so many men when the topic is spousal abuse, domestic violence, rape, etc. Do they act this way when two men are punching each other... oh, wait.

The good news is that women are beginning to reclaim their power, politically. I love men (I'm married to one), but damn people! How many wars do we have to endure?

As far as I'm concerened, It was his behaviour towards Georgina Baillie and her grandfather Andrew Sachs that conclusively proved he's a wrong 'un.

Literature and media is still full of lovable abusers, the whole toxic myth is baked in.
