Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "Russell Brand unhinged rant after Tucker calls him "public intellectual"" video.

Yeah - there's been some times when he's made some sense. Like even in this when he made the comment that it was a crisis that big interests took advantage of. I think most sensible people would agree that at least to some extent they did. BUT THEN he goes of on the BS about natural immunity and that exposes his complete lake of understanding of what happened. I'm Australian and we have had a people comparing us to Sweden. So you know Sweden was the Western Nation to go all in on natural immunity or herd immunity as it was sometimes called. Australia has roughly 2-1/2 times the population of Sweden but (as of today) they have 23,749 deaths compared to our 19,459. If we had done what Sweden did and Russell Brand advocates we'd have over 60,000 dead and if Sweden had done like Australia they have around 7,600 dead not almost 24,000. I remember when that debate raged and all anyone had to do was compare Sweden to the surrounding countries, Norway, Finland and Denmark to see how badly they got it wrong. For those interested the real metric to look for on places like Worldometers is the Deaths/1M population. Australia's is 746 Norway's is 946 Denmarks is 1,422 Finland's is 1,614 Sweden's is 2,324

@aces92E Yeah - about 6 months back Kyle Kulinski and Krystal Ball interviewed Jesse Ventura. Its still there to be watched. In one part he talked about the time he was a commentator because of really bad injury. Vince McMahon gave him an insanely simple direction. "If you say it then its true." The pro-wrestling fans went bonkers. That's fine in that arena because its THEATRE and people know its theatre. What Russel Brand and others don't get is that this IS NOT theatre its real life with real people and real tragedy. There is no place for performance art clowns with no grasp of reality in these sorts of public discussions.

@Knight-Bishop That's a damn good description of RB's current state of brain function.

@astounded4546 Who's claiming that he's pandering to the right? The claim is pretty simple Russel is pandering to Russell's EGO and there's a lot of support for that.

@astounded4546 You can back off a bit. 1) You are right David did say that ".... he is only feeding back to a lot of these right wingers the things they already believe." 2) My reply was to your comment _"Why would Russel need to pander to the right?"" Which I took as you commenting about THIS THREAD, which is about Russell Brand NOT David Pakman. 3) My comments about egotism had NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU and everything to do with Russel Brand pandering to his ego which is what everyone on this thread is talking about. Read what people say next time and be a little less jumpy.
