zizek is a legit academic who has been published and has studied philosophy.
Russel brand is a crack head with the attitude of a 16 year old who found the communist manifesto in his schools library
Andrew Johnson
If that's true, that makes me like him a lot more.
Tyler King
I'm sure Zizek was the exact same at one point though.
Just with coke instead of heroin.
Nathaniel Perez
If he has the humility and curiosity to shut up for a year or so in order to read more and learn more, then all that is forgivable.
And I also think that in that Paxman interview he's a lot closer to how socialists should speak than your average "proper socialist" who speaks with the cadence of a geography teacher about concepts most people don't even understand
Zachary Lopez
Apparently Zizek said that he never used any drugs. Take that as you will.
Matthew Cruz
russell brand is severely underrated
Andrew Ramirez
I'd prefer if this annoying goon became an embarrassment to some other political orientation, tbh.
David Butler
WTF I love Russell Brand now he actually reads
Brandon Cruz
Leftism is an intellectual virus created by the Jews to control your mind. Wake up people.

……I'm trying to find a problem here, but I can't considering whom we're comparing him too.
Isaac Baker
Good post
Jaxson Myers
What if he becomes a modern day Oscar Wilde?
Lincoln Brooks
I assume that's sarcasm, so what's wrong with what I said?

No, not at all. Zizek grew up in Yugoslavia. His doctorate wasn't accepted at first because it was not "Marxist" enough. Back then philosophy wasn't merely a fashion accessory for young people, there was still a good education system that produced great intellectuals.
Aaron Gray
I would become a Brandian tbqh
Carter Long
think about your post next time someone calls this place a shithole riddled with larping teenagers
Evan Lopez
Come on man, you know what he means. Don't be a dick
Tyler Scott
lol what
Anyway, all I meant is that he's more passionate than the usual brook-trained socialist.
Ian Gonzalez
He'll never be an intellectual considering how few brain cells he has left from 20 years of hard drugs.
He use his fame and rhetoric to reach the masses however.
Joseph Roberts
Brand needs to drop all the Esalen/Leary/McKenna nonsense (all products of the CIA) before I can even consider taking him slightly serious.
Aiden Nelson
wasn't sarcasm
Luke Walker
This will only lead to a bunch of 14 year old girls pretending to be Marxists and using it justify SJW shit tbh although that isn't Russels fault
