Russell Brand just delivered one of the most chilling wake-up calls of 2025, and it’s only 2 minutes long:
“We still picture tyranny with moustaches, shiny jackboots, red-black flags and Nuremberg parades.
But the new totalitarianism doesn’t goose-step.
It arrives like gentle fog slipping under your door wearing a caring smile that whispers ‘We’re only here to help.’”
Speaking as a man 15+ years sober, he says recovery taught him the deepest addiction isn’t drugs, alcohol or porn — it’s codependency.
And the modern State — that unholy nexus of global bureaucracies, national governments and corporate giants — has mastered making entire populations codependent on IT instead of God, community or themselves.
“They became wizards at centralizing information…
Then YOU — yes, you reading this right now — helped crack their monopoly.
Now watch them frantically rebuild the cage: smearing, de-platforming, ‘fact-checking’ into oblivion anyone who speaks unapproved truth.”
His ice-cold conclusion:
Once you realize their only god is Control (because control = profit + power + the right to rewrite reality), suddenly everything clicks into place.
Even rage and confirmation bias cut both ways, he admits.
But when one side owns the referees, the stadium, the rulebook AND the cameras… is it still a fair fight?
Love him or hate him, this 2-minute monologue is pure dynamite.
Drop whatever you’re doing and watch.
Your mind won’t unhear it.
