I didn't mean to demean you, hilarious. All I mean to say is that I don't see this guy as 'brave' etc when he has most likely been put out there by the establishment as a kind of safety valve. After all, what does he really achieve? It's all talk at the end of the day. Meanwhile, we have development workers and charitable volunteers working hard to selflessly achieve things for others around the world, and what sort of public recognition do they receive? Very little, because they are not TV celebrities. For me, it's crazy to miss this fact. Especially when the likes of Quigley and Sutton already gave us the juicy details decades ago. They went much further than Brand ever will.
Ultimately, 'speaking out' on TV doesn't require that much courage. The man is already a multi-millionaire who dominates a certain niche where he can be alternative, but not too alternative. As for his charm, some women like him, some don't. This is not a big issue for me. I accept I will never be a TV or Hollywood star. Again, this is not a big issue for me. Not everybody wants to have that life. Why are you so quick to accuse people of jealousy?
As for MI7 and the BBC, the material is out there. I'm sure if you dig around you'll be able to find it yourself.
Well we can have differing opinions on him, but I don't believe that he's some sort of establishment shill and find that to be ridiculous personally, but if you want to believe it you can. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't buy it (or similar arguments of other people). Of course being 'brave' has many different meanings relative to whatever situation you might be in and I'm not going to say he's as brave as someone who risks their life to help others or something, but I think he's got some balls to say what he is saying and do what he is currently doing. As for what can he achieve? Well, only time will tell on that front, but I'm sure he can achieve the same if not more than anybody else speaking out against the mainstream / establishment. He's got a voice and a platform and I'm glad he's using it. I don't think we can just write him off because he's a movie star or a millionaire. That just seems like an easy thing to criticise. Those should be irrelevant really, but judge him on his deeds and achievements (or lack thereof). Personally I think he's got potential and look forward to where he takes himself next.

I'm not, but I usually find this is the case when criticising such a man, but why are you so quick to judge someone's perceived masculinity?
