While streaming, the rapper performed a Nazi salute and said: ‘Heil Hitler’
2005: “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”
2025: “Heil Hitler”
huh… are you suppose to be able read the ‘blacked out’ bits by click drag highlighting the text…
He was medicated in 2005 (and correct, Bush didn’t get nearly enough blowback for the disastrous Hurricane Katrina “recovery”)
I won’t defend George w. But there was a whole chain of people that fucked up. Kathleen Blanco was governor at the time, idk who the mayor was, who was in charge of the national guard, who was point man for FEMA at the time. A whole chain of people doing fucking nothing.
It’s easy to blame the president in such situations, and he certainly deserves his share of it. But the entire affair was mediocre at best. I don’t think it was malicious, just fucking embarrassing…
He should come to Germany and do that here and then we can hear from him from prison for the next 12 months and he will be banned from performing here for the next decade.
Compared to the US, they don’t. 1A protections are extremely broad, to be outside protected speech it practically has to be either CSAM or inciting immediate lawless action.
As in “SLUR should be hanged from trees” is protected under 1A, “Guys, grab that SLUR over there and string him up” is not. CSAM is primarily illegal because production, distribution and even possession further harms the victim of the CSA performed to create it.
Yup, between that and the lack of gun control is no wonder the US is the way it is. On paper, that level of freedom is lovely. In practice it just lets the worst people be violent assholes with zero consequences.
I’ll take the German/Canadian/NZ approach every day!
We got freedom of speech. But when it harms people, it isn’t just speech anymore. Cause violence against innocents and you pay the consequences.
I don’t understand how there can be black people in favor of Hitler. How do they rationalize praising someone who would have genocided them?
“I’m different, he wants to clean the dirty ones”
“why am I being loaded into a train I’M DIFFERENT”
History lessons in the US focus on the Jewish victims of the Holocaust to the exclusion of all others. Plenty of people don’t know that gay, trans, leftist, or non-white people were genocided.
Even white people. Slavs for instance. Anyone considered crippled. Political enemies.
Slavs weren’t really considered white back then. “White” as a social construct goes far beyond skin color.
They were the primary target and most Jews died in the Holocaust. That’s being said I think people of color who are Nazis tend play mental gymnastics to ignore the racism. I think it is the younger crowd who wasn’t hunted by hate groups.
The real thing to note is that Nazi Germany condemned large groups of people to die. When society is ok with singling out a group of people anything can happen.
Yeah, but isn’t he Christian? I think “Jesus Walks” was one of his songs. Jesus was absolutely Jewish and Christianity was a sect of Judaism for decades, maybe even hundreds of years. I’ll never understand hating the people that founded your religion.
If you’re a Christian, you believe that Jesus was the Messiah and that modern Jews deny that. It’s not really a contradiction.
You’re right, but it’s definitely different depending where you live. I went to a high school in the New York suburbs that was largely Jewish. If I had to guess I’d say 30%, with the rest being a mix. We had holocaust survivors come to speak once or twice while I was there. I graduated in 06. Our teachers did not skimp on any of that. The stats were certainly focused on jews, but they also didn’t leave anyone out.
He got inspired by the Black Hebrew Israelites, a pseudo-religous group that believes african americans are decendents of jews.
If I recall correctly from his infowars Interview (or somewhere else around that time), he came to the conclusion that since he’s a jew, he gets to decide if hitler was a good guy or not. It didn’t make much sense and I don’t recall why exactly he came to the conclusion that he as a good guy, but I think he said something like “There’s only love, so he cant be a bad guy”.
It’s possible he thinks black americans are the real jews, that hitler was doing a good thing with killing imposters.
You omitted the part where his girlfriend sucked his balls in public whilst traversing the waters of Venice in a gondola.
That should be topmost when defining his mental prowess.
He all but forced his wife to show up naked to the Grammy’s - there’s video where it looks like she’s trying to argue with him about it.
Plus that “wives sell pussy for life” line - a big part of this is misogyny. He’s got some extremely disturbed attitudes towards sex and women, and is dangerous.
In the case of Kanye… fell astoundingly far down the antisemitic conspiracy rabbit hole.
Before he went turbo-mega-ultra Hitler fanbo1 on Alex Jones… he was saying a lot of shit about how the entire entertainment industry was run by a cabal of Jews who secretly fucked over himself and other black artists in particular.
… He completely lost his mind in this process and has arguably been having the world’s longest sustained, continuous, psychotic break (I think he’s been far more obviously just unhinged bonkers for longer than Elon?).
He legitimately hated and hates Jews so much that the actual Hitler stuff came afterward.
How does he rationalize that Hitler would absolutely have killed every Black or African descended person he could, that he switched from being inspired by American rascism to calling the US a ‘mongrelized’ people, because of American society’s multiracial makeup, interracial marriage etc?
Easy: He’s completely insane and legitimately should be in a room with padded walls.
Logic? Reason?
404 error.

Have you ever tried to convince an unmedicated, manic schizophrenic that… the things they are saying just fundamentally do not make sense, at a basic grammatical level, that their mind invents things that did not happen?
Yeah, doesn’t go so well.

I haven’t. How’s it go?
Not well. As RedditRefugee notes…
They do indeed usually incorperate you into their personalized, uber conspirstorial worldview.
If you have ever heard the phrase ‘Targeted Individual’ or ‘Gangstalking/Gangstalkers’… these are phrases commonly used by schizophrenics in online communities… who, having broadly similar underlying thought processes and lived experiences, will and do gather on the internet and discuss their … paranoid/persecutory delusions… and they do seem to have largely agreed on those phrases to describe their individualized, specific experiences.
I believe at one point, reddit had a fairly large r/TargetedIndividuals or r/TIs subreddit, something like that… not sure if it still exists or is active.
Their where Jews that helped the Nazi’s early on. They seen themselves as the good Jews.

Basically, cognitive dissonance. They simply refuse to believe the truth, and make up their own fantasies in which everything is backwards from reality. It makes them feel like they have some power over their life, and/or that they’re special.
99% of the time people like this are just deeply freaked out at the idea of a cold uncaring universe with nobody in control.
Well, believe me or not but black people were not on the bottom of the human nazi chart. The Jews were on the maximum bottom, then there were Russians/Poles/Serbs/Belarussians/Ukrainians, and then after them there were black people.
But still, black people weren’t consider aryan lol
From the article:
In February, Friends actor David Schwimmer called on Musk to ban Kanye West from X after he made a series of antisemitic posts.
Schwimmer called on Musk, the owner of X, to remove West from the platform. “This is so 2022,” said Schwimmer. “We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate-filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr Musk.”
Bold of Schwimmer to assume Musk in any way disagrees with Ye’s views.
Elon is not just holding the megaphone, he’s actively cranking up the volume dial.
I find it strange that David Schwimmer made a public plea for decency when it was about anti-semitism but not for any of the rest of the hateful shit projectile-blasted around that echo chamber.
He’s also rich and Jewish, probably doesn’t give a fuck about any injustice unless it’s antisemitism.
Edit: so it turns out he’s spoken out against injustice plenty of times before, when it wasn’t about Jews. He even lobbied to get more non-white people on Friends, such as his character’s Asian-American girlfriend. It’s not all disingenious with him, even though his support of Israel is regretful.
legit conversation on my friend discord last night
- hey did everyone see Kanye was on twitch?
- no, I didnt know that, why’d they let him go on?
- oh it wasnt very long, he was only on there for like 10 minutes before he got banned for yelling heil hitler
- oh…
Kanye skipped the lolcow phase and went straight to the horrorcow one.
Superbowl ad of the guy lying in a dentist chair high on nitrious going “Umm, umm, umm” for 40 seconds. the kind of shit thats so stupid you cant look away from.
