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.”

You’ll note the complete lack of irony in the patient presenting with Fox Derangement Syndrome (FDS)
That’s what you get for waking up in Vegas.
An Anti-America, Anti-Capitalist, no wonder he's a hit with the Libtards on the left.
Fox News Derangement
It’s interesting how these mentally ill liberals (but I repeat myself) get rich with capitalism, then start to bad mouth it.
I FDSed myself into a frenzy.
LOL
I wouldn’t mind seeing Russell Brand crashing his plane into the French Alps, just as long as he doesn’t take anyone else with him..OK maybe Bill Maher too
In their gated communities, people like this character never seem to accept that free markets have and will do more good for people than any system the likes of him could come up with. So he claims FOX News is responsible for the basic human nature of the pursuit of self interests? Something that humans have been doing since the dawn of time?
LOL!
Cue Katy’s “Waking up in Vegas” song.

“Who is Russell Brand and why should I value his opinion?”
Funny, I was going to ask the same question.
“The reason Fox News can’t be honest about what causes mental illness is that Fox News IS what causes mental illness.”
Only someone mentally ill could come up with this conclusion.
I was wondering the same thing. Who is he?
These people are published, hence giving them credibility, when they should be met with silence. They are published as their remarks create controversy which in today’s trivial sensation seeking society sells soap. Western Society is being killed to sell soap.
“We can never have that conversation properly because FOX News and big corporations benefit from things being the way they are.”
Really? You’re right. I forgot that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, et al, are owned by Joe’s bait shop down on the corner—and not big corporations.
This guy is truly a walking and semi-functioning idiot.
Fox news is on in Germany??? And the guy watched it???
Not only stupid, but he was beaten pretty hard with an ugly stick.
