Yep, it’s real.
He didnt actually mean he liked Hitler, he was just making a joke. I am not going to explain the joke because that would ruin it
(Excuses are getting harder and harder to find)
Dudes mad he doesn’t have a likable personality. “But I’ve got money!” What a laugh. Personal insecurity makes man declare himself a Nazi. Tale as old as time.
My hot take is that he is - and has always been - a shit rapper held up by his good production.
He’s never had anything interesting to say and he’s never been good at delivering it.
Whenever I listen to Kanye West I just think to myself “it sure is sad the guy died in 2017”
A normal well adjusted individual
This is what mental illness looks like. I hope he gets the help he needs and not the enablers that might end his life :/
He may be mentally ill, but during these episodes he always goes to this Nazi shit. I think the mental illness just unmasks what he really feels.
I mean at least he seems to realize in the full thread saying this shit is problematic, as opposed to just blurting it out completely unqualified per usual. Not making excuses, at the end of the day fuck Kanye, but this seems a very fine hair more sane than usual.
Maybe I am just reading into it weird, granted it’s Ye so weird is the only way it can be read shrug
Mental illness doesn’t make people nazis, just like mental illness doesn’t make people mass shooters, that’s simply not how it works.
Hmmm, I seem to remember there’s a mental illness that causes one to randomly spout the most vile shit they can think of. Begins with a T?
Can you see where I’m going with that? In any case, illness can certainly make people violent. Look at Alzheimer’s for example. Hell, look at Charles Whitman. He knew something was wrong with him, and getting worse. After he was shot out of the clock tower they autopsied and found a brain tumor.
You… you aren’t trying to imply Tourette Syndrome, right? Because that’s not how Tourette’s works, like, at all. I would know, because I have it.
In reality, we have a set of “tics”, which are just small noises or motions we make uncontrollably. Of course, for some people it’s more severe, but the worst I’ve ever heard about is that some people may yell out swear words as one of their tics. But In no circumstance would it ever cause someone to type out and post “I’m a nazi” or “I love hitler”.
Sure, he’s mentally ill, but that also doesn’t excuse being a nazi. It may explain it, but he still deserves to be punched in the mouth for it.
It’s also disingenuous and harmful to just use mental illness to attempt to dismiss it. People with mental illness already have a hard enough time living their lives without being compared to literal nazis.
Mental illness doesn’t magically make you a Nazi. Plenty of manic people just think they can fly, or make really nice art. But instead, this dude uses his platform to boost nazis.
Also, even if his mania turned him into a horrible person, it would be understandable that the first one was sudden and therefore not preventable, but this is like the second or third time he does this. So… what about his responsibility while stable to medicate and find ways to remain as stable as possible?
I mean, the dude is undeniably mentally ill, and he likely refuses to treat it because the meds make him feel “numb” and he makes music when he’s manic. But mania is on the same classification as schizophrenia, and comes with many of the same issues.
But yeah, in Kanye’s case he’s just a fucking Nazi who happens to have rampant untreated mental illness. The mental illness doesn’t excuse the Nazi bullshit.
