Monbiot remains unimpressed Archived Message Posted by Ian M on September 26, 2023, 9:35 pm, in reply to "Good patter : )" Though he probably didn't watch it himself... 'George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot Russell Rebrand [retweet] Derek Beres @derekberes Russell Brand's unhinged return to Rumble includes rants against the Deep State and Big Pharma, and...an ad for Big Pharma promoting Ivermectin for COVID-19. Not a lot you can do when that sweet Burger King money dries up 🤷🏻‍♂️' - https://nitter.net/GeorgeMonbiot/status/1706383903353602527#m To watch such a wide-ranging, brilliantly expressed critique of so many aspects of the capitalist world order governing our lives, and only hear "deep state, big pharma, ivermectin = another loony right-wing grifter, ignore" takes a special kind of talent, and/or a willingness to mindlessly propagandise against a perceived cultural enemy regardless of the merits of the arguments they're making. Pure tribalism in other words, and telling that Monbiot ignores the substance too, which wouldn't fit with his smear of Brand as dishonest, right wing conspiracy theorist.
