Brand is a false hero (controlled opposition counter-culture figure) like John Lennon who is heavily promoted by the establishment. He never really tells us anything we don't already know. It's all very light. Yes, I dislike how people idolise him.
When men hate on him it's just out of pure envy and jealousy.
Not really. You're giving away your masculinity when you worship people you don't know, who don't care about you. I know a lot of girls here in the UK who don't particularly like him.
Like I say, Brand never really says anything. He lacks specificity. If you want intelligence, you want to be reading the work of Carroll Quigley, Anthony Sutton, Simon Hytten and others.
