You're saying that there are 'power structures' that propagate 'these sexcrime narratives'. I'm obviously not casual observer enough because I don't know which power structures you are referring too. Could you please tell a bit more about them?

just a guess, but they might be referring to what he (brand) was talking about in his latest video about the accusations

Sure. Look at how #Metoo handled sexual allegations Then it died when Tara Reade allegations started threatening Joe Bidens power, and the power structure that was propagating #Metoo stopped exerting power and "suddenly everyone stopped caring about #Metoo, it's out of the news cycle"

The very institutions making these claims against Brand have been profiting from propagating the sexcrime narrative - or, covering it up - for decades. These very institutions have also been involved in protecting known pedophiles from public scrutiny - so this is why I believe its very telling that they are turning their craven eye on Brand, who has done a lot to point this out over the last couple of years ..
