Governments colluded to shut down and destroy Russell Brand

A couple of months ago, actor-turned-podcaster Russell Brand became the target of a multinational censorship operation designed to completely shut him down.

The reason for this is obvious: many of Brand's views on our most non-trivial issues diverge sharply from those of Western governments, and his ability to express those views posed a risk to their grasp on power. So they tried to silence him.

Russell Brand joined The Tucker Carlson Encounter for his first interview since that happened, and he offered one of the most brilliant explanations of the modern world you’ll ever hear.

Russell Brand tells Tucker:

"What's become apparent in recent years is what the nature of our relationship with government is. They are there to rule and control and dominate. And whilst they may now do it with an aesthetic of care and with the language of inclusivity, I believe the threat of authoritarianism is far, far greater from those that use the language of liberalism than [what] these emergent, somewhat nationalistically oriented populist movements present."
