    Russell Brand Wants To Start a Revolution

    in ARCHIVE - Madonna

    Posted

    Look, I don't believe in passive resistance as a solution to change the world. I think there needs to be leaders and people who organise and control the way the majority live. What we DO NEED is to SPEAK OUR MINDS and EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS. We need to SHINE LIGHT ON SUBJECTS THAT WE FEEL MATTER. We need to ACT WITH COMPASSION, INTELLIGENCE AND RESPECT FOR OURSELVES.

    Umm that's what we are doing in this thread.

    That would be very interesting. How many people will get on board with that? Would it be beneficial in the long run or would it affect people negatively? Single people can take risks but people who have children depended on them for food and shelter will probably be too afraid to not go to work. I do believe that people need to learn more about being more self sufficient so they would not have to rely on a work that cares little for them. On a cultural level I dream of people suddenly not buying tabloids that tell lies about people's lives. I have a problem with journalists who drag people who are going through real problems just to sell their stories. Would love if no one read their stuff but a lot of people don't think its the big deal I think it is. So how do you get everyone on board if they don't think there is a problem? I ask them how would they feel if someone dragged their name in the mud if they were going through a painful divorce or they were having an emotional breakdown? I would keep asking them until I could find some empathy.

    I do lean more towards what Russell is saying in that drastic change needs to happen like you said non compliance in matters that I oppose but how can I inspire others to want to join me in that non compliance?

    Yes non-compliance might be hard, but war and violence would be much harder, at least there's no bloodshed and unnecessary suffering with non-compliance. Yes losing your job would suck, but being abused all your life by a system that does not represent you would be worse.

    How will we all achieve it and what can you do? Wake people up. Just by having this video and these type of discussions a couple of people might wake up. I am with Russell, I believe the awakening is happening, and is happening globally. It is only a matter of time now, I only hope it's sooner than later.

    Get tickets luv! He will be great.

    If anyone here doesn't 'get' him read his 2 books. You cant put them down, hes so funny but you get to understand where he's coming from. His intelligence is all self taught, I really find him fascinating. He came from a really bad upbringing bad schools, then onto drugs, then a sex addict to making Hollywood movies. He's so honest in them.

    I just bought them, but shit, I checked an hour ago and the closest to stage available was on row 9. I didn't buy them as I was convincing some friends, now I just went again to buy them and the closest was row 13. They are selling super fast. At least I got in!

    I just watched this interview of him and I can say I'm obsessed with his mind, I am seriously thinking of stalking him in the airport and his hotel cus now I really really want a picture with him. :zombie:

    Madonna addressed the problem within the person and how that creates problems for other people. I agree with Russell about change but how can you create real change? I'm not saying he is but its too easy to fall into that us and them mentality. Completely rejecting voting although that is his right. I agree with his issues with things we shouldn't be doing but one person cannot wave a magic wand and create change. I think Madonna's current contribution to a revolution is very important. What am I doing or not doing to create or maintain situations that I'm concerned about?

    The solution is non-compliance. Instead of protests, revolutions, we have to stop participating in this system which is clearly not working. If we all stopped our countries through an organized peaceful non-compliance (stopped working, going to school, shopping, watching tv, etc..) there would be no government that could take it.

    We are the ones who move the economy, not the ruling class. We have the power, not them. Without our participation they are nothing. We need to halt everything to bring about transformation.

    Wow, Just wow.

    Man, Russell Brand is incredibly intelligent and so very articulated. This video really made me like the guy, his mind is unbelievable. I was guilty of underestimating him until I watched this. He really seems to have his finger on the pulse of things. The interviewer is caught off guard and cant quite refute a lot of what he says when he's 'ambushed' by his intellect.

    Love Madonna but would have loved to hear her address the real problems explicitly like he is doing here.

    I don't think it's a ripoff alla born this way (Dime La Verdad IS a ripoff of secret though, you can even sing one on top of the other) but one can definitely see Erotica beach vibes in that video. I thought of cherish when I saw the mermaid tail and all the thing going on the shore

    I had never thought about it, but I think it's possible she was inspired by erotica/the sex shoot for 'Arena y Sol'
