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.
I was about to say the same. Kanye is clearly going through emotional cascades that he doesn't know how to handle, especially after him and his wife divorced.
Yeah, and if he turns around there's room for a sort of reconciliation but also I've gone through trauma and have mental illness as have many of my friends, none of us became nazis
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
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.
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.
Who is he talking to? What money? Every time he pops up, I have no idea wtf he is even on about. At the end of the day, I guess the only pertinent information is that he is a nazi. A very strange and confused nazi, but I suppose they all are.
Dude has unhinged and awful political and social views, seemingly unmoored by any governing principles, and he also clearly has manic features and likely could benefit from some treatment.
That's a manic episode. Unfortunately, I've known people of various hues who held Nazi ideology. Then there are supremacists of all nationalities and hues.
I think we are all just people with our own sets of challenges. Marginalization/shunning doesn't prevent this. Opportunities to care for oneself do.
