Russell Brand Blames Capitalism and Fox News for Germanwings Crash
Breitbart News ^

Posted on 03/31/2015 10:57:21 AM PDT by drewh

Killer pilot Andeas Lubitz’s mental illness was caused by living in a capitalist society, Russell Brand has claimed.

In his latest video, the activist comedian says that 50 percent of people will suffer from a mental illness at some point in their lifetimes, asking: “Why is it happening all the time? Why are we living in the times of a mental illness plague?”

The reason, he says, is Fox News.

“The reason Fox News can’t be honest about what causes mental illness is that Fox News IS what causes mental illness.

“Fox News are the propaganda machine of capitalism – a system that separates us from one another and tells us the way to solve our individual problems is through purchasing, through buying things, through identifying primarily through our roles as consumers, not as active citizens or participants in society, members in communities that should care about others, but people who shouldn’t be condemning those who are weaker, vilifying people that act in any way that’s unusual.

“We know in the core of our being that that isn’t right, so it creates a friction and a tension. We know that what [Fox News] is saying isn’t true.He concludes by saying that Fox News and “the big corporations” want this system to continue:

“We can never have that conversation properly because FOX News and big corporations benefit from things being the way they are.”

I wonder where Russell Brand lives?

under a bridge?

In his friends house?

With his parents?

Surely he wouldn’t want to be a hypocrite and accept any of that nasty dirty money for his puny efforts....

Andeas Lubitz and Russell Brand are driven to distraction by the same things, I guess.

I won't be flying with the limey nutbar.

Russell Brand is a knucklehead. All you have to do is go to a concentration camp in North Korea to see the fruits of anti-Capitalism.

Russell Brand:

THINK before you speak!!!!!
