Sorry, by 'this guy' I'm talking about Johnny Eagles and his repeated "you're either A or B" idea of viewing things here, when the reality of how people contribute ideas to society is more complex. I just didn't have the motivation to look up his name at the time. Clearly I should've done .

I agree with everything you're saying. Very rightminded.

I find it very amusing that you preach at people to focus on Brand's message not his personality, yet you ignore most of what I say and and justify doing so by characterising me as someone who has a "binary" view of the world (whatever that's supposed to mean.)

I also find it amusing that you think Brand represents views ''not covered by the media". All the media has done recently is cover his views! To the point of tedium!

I'd argue his views aren't actually covered. I haven't read much about anarcho syndicalism, the fact that british apples are sent to south africa to be polished then sent back to Britain so that someone can profit from it. I haven't read much about the dangers of fracking in the Murdoch press, I haven't read much about secret courts or people being detained but not being told why? All are things put forard in revolution.

I'd argue that Brand is being 'coated' (sorry Jel ) in the press because he is bringing to light all of these things.

Read the book Johnny. It is somewhat wordy in places, but is actually well argued and does give food for thought.

By binary view I'm simply stating that repeatedly here you have forced your own thinking by saying well 'you're either A or B' and dismissing people when they don't fall into categories you've cobbled together, when again it's more complex. The validity of views and whether people listen to them sadly isn't down to whatever arbitrary template Johnny from the internet places over them.

Nick covered this above . You clearly don't even know about much of what he's put forward, just what you read in your redtop or what you tell yourself a 'lefty' must believe. Either buy the book and actually have a valid point of view or just keep making yourself angry for no reason.
