But the difference I think is that Brand isn't merely talking about inequality; he's indicting the current system. If he believes the system is not just and unfairly harms the poor, then the perception of him living lavishly suggests that while he's willing to talk about the inherent unfairness, he's not willing to give up the rewards the system has unfairly bestowed upon him. That undermines his critique of the system in my opinion. I'm not unsympathetic to the idea that there is inherent inequality in the way the US capitalist system is set up (crony capitalism), but that's not the same argument Brand is making. Or if it is, he's doing it in such a partisan and confrontational manner that I dismiss it entirely as typical class warfare rather than well-reasoned critique.
He has given up some of the rewards the system has unfairly bestowed upon perhaps? i guess we cant be sure maybe his Hollywood career was dead anyway, wont the way he acts now burn bridges in some areas of his acting/media career? I guess he is profiting in other ways with books sales now. Also he has given some time/put in some work to whatever campaign this was.
I agree its very basic critique of the system but he has opened eyes of some, perhaps he plays a vital role? - for me personally i only now occasionally see what he has to say on subjects.
Promoting something like bitcoin seems way better for political change but the mainstream dont get it or use it so in the current format the system doesnt change.
But articles like the one posted aren't for intelligent consideration or designed to spark a constructive dialogue on the topic. If the headline doesn't give it away, just read the comment section on it and you see the only reason it was posted was to provide a place for like-minded conservatives to have a place to circlejerk all over some "libtard" so the website owner can collect his advertising money. What a beautiful system!
haha yeah totally nothing ground breaking in this story/video etc for sure
