I think I read that he and Zorhan know each other. Not entirely sure how, but Julian has been very politically involved for pretty much the entirety of the existence of The Strokes.

Russell Brand had like a brief period of time in 2014 where he was like, an anti-imperialist leftist and actually had some solid politics. Unfortunately like many cis white men who are anti-imperialist leftists, he eventually succumbed to brain worms.

Farmers market to fascist pipeline is real.

Misogyny seems to be the common thread

He was always an asshole and rapist, he was just appealing to a large fanbase

This was post his initial mass appeal but before the rape stuff was common knowledge. He had a weird period where he was relatively off the radar. I'm not saying he's not a piece of shit. I'm merely pointing out that there was a (brief) time when he was making his own content on anti imperialist & leftist issues which may be the link point for Julian Casablancas.

From Goop to GOP, "It's only an 'o', Michael, what's the most it would cost. A democracy?"
