What's interesting is that when I read that, just realised part of me thinks Brand is just playing these wingnuts and can't possibly really, truly believe any of the conspiracy BS. Then I realised, "Would you think that about any of the others who are buying into this stuff?" And the answer is... no. Brand did seem genuinely intelligent - someone like Icke, or Alex Jones... not so much. Am just struggling with the cognitive dissonance that I've realised I can't really believe Brand personally buys into any of this (it's just a proven to be gullible audience and he does strike me as a man in search of an audience. Any audience). Yet on another level - he does buy into it, doesn't he?What terrifies me to contemplate is that Brand thinks scum like Alex Jones and nutters like Icke are "ahead of the curve".
You can tell the audience Brand is aiming for.
