Killer pilot Andeas Lubitzs 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 cant 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 shouldnt be condemning those who are weaker, vilifying people that act in any way thats unusual.
We know in the core of our being that that isnt right, so it creates a friction and a tension. We know that what [Fox News] is saying isnt 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.

Katy Perry sure did marry DOWN didn’t she?
Note to myself: Russell Brand and Stewart Brand are two separate persons.
To think that Katy Perry was the brains in their relationship.
“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... blah”
I agree Russell! So in the spirit of your comment I will not purchase, buy or consume any product you are a part of. For example, your completely worthless movies. After all... that would ‘separate us’, right?!
Russell Brand net worth: $15 million. Per Celebrity Net Worth web site.
I cheated. Didn’t read past Russell Brand. I’m sure whatever he said or thinks is quintessential idiocy.
Why is it happening all the time? Why are we living in the times of a mental illness plague?
Wow, what a dunce. Our rates are high compared to what? The centuries when there were no defined standards for mental illness, no psychiatric profession, and no statistics being kept at all?
Speaking of Barney Frank...
Lubitz was into gay porn. Feed that perversion into his depression and mix in a muzzie girlfriend and what do ya get?
An unexpected stop in the Swiss Alps.
I got it. I will wean myself from consumerism. I will start by not buying anything that a certain whacko, hateful, lib “comedian” is selling.
Does a German co-pilot really watch that much Fox News? From what I understand his last internet viewing habits leaned progressive.
Remind me never to fly with this guy.
Why is Breitbart even reporting what this putz says?
“Ooh I see what he’s doing there, he’s going after that anti-Capitalism dollar, that’s a good market, we’ve done research.”
About the only funny routine the late Bill Hicks did.
“THINK before you speak”
But why should he forgo something he can do because of something he can’t?
They must think its comedy material
Does he mean - the same capitalist system through which HE’S made a million dollars and lives VERY comfortably for the rest of his life???
If my Brit facebook friends are anything to go by, the entire country is obsessed (and not in a good way) with Fox News. Bizarre. It’s like me being obsessed with BBC 4...
Katy must have been drunk out of her mind in Las Vegas when she married that pieece of trash.
The German airliner takes orders from Hannity?
