Kanye West on Alex Jones

[The Architect Of Fate]

No, what I'm doing is ignoring the powerless mentally ill guy and focusing on people who actually DID something.

That is whataboutism.
If you want to talk about Prescott Bush, or someone else, then open a topic about him, here we talk about Ye - it is simple as that.

Huggy Logic 

Unless you have condemned every person associated with the Nazis you can't criticize Kanye West's statements because he has a mental illness.....

[The Architect Of Fate]

Ok,... But Ye is speaking on someone who has been dead longer.... What's your point?

But Kanye west is still very much alive and his opinions are what's being criticized and yes speaking about Hitler is doing somthing. Somthing indefensible.

[Thumpalumpacus]

And I'm saying there are plenty of people you can focus on other than a guy whom you all know has mental illness. For instance, Germany was broke after WW1, Do yall know that George W Bush's grandfather Prescott was one of the people that helped fund the Nazis rise to power? The extent of his involvement is still classified...

Not only was he involved in Hitlers rise to power, he was aiding the enemy, but y'all want to talk about how bad (mentally ill) Kanye is...

Right, but he's not the one in the headlines nowadays, your boy Kanye is. This is simple pettifoggery on your part. "But mommy, he did it too!" isn't really a sound defense, Huggy. You should be old enough to know that by now.

And just in case you weren't aware, you won't find many Bush fans here.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Why the headdesk? I think it's funny watching Huggy try to defend a pro-Hitler rant. It's like watching someone play Mental Twister.

[LadyForCamus]

I'm just gonna throw this out there because we all know the deal....if Kanye was a white guy working at the local big box store Smuggy wouldn't spend one second of his time trying to defend him.

You have a huge obsession with race, you bring it up in every conversation.

Oh, that’s what that smell is.

[Angrboda]

Hugg has playing dumb down to a science. It's almost like he actually is dumb.

And on Huggy Bear defending Ye due to his mental illness, as someone who’s on multiple antidepressants, that shit’s only a reason for his horseshit, not an excuse. To quote a podcast host I listen to a lot:



Bear in mind, Marcus Parks has bipolar disorder the same as Ye. But unlike Ye, he actually acknowledges that he’s got a problem and takes care of it accordingly. And if Last Podcast on the Left is any indication, he’s got lots of worst case scenarios from people who didn’t even try and take responsibility for their problems. If memory serves, that quote came from an episode about Joseph Kallinger, a man with a case of paranoid schizophrenia so severe that he robbed, assaulted, and tortured four families because he legit believed God wanted him to do so. And he would have actually finished them off if not for the fact that he tended to hallucinate that part and forgot that he didn’t actually follow through. It’s painfully obvious that Kallinger was mentally ill, but that doesn’t exonerate him in any way. The closest Marcus comes to doing so is saying that he probably should have been found insane, but even that, he takes pains to point that there’s a Lot of misconceptions about the insanity defense.

Maybe I’d be more inclined to sympathize with Ye if he was having trouble getting mental help, but everything I’ve seen of his relationship with bipolar disorder (at least now) is conspiring to make me not sympathise. It’s not like he’s been relying on mental health services that are slowly being defunded like in Joker. He’s a multi-millionaire who was a multi-billionaire a few months ago. And he’s got handlers who try to get him to take his meds, and he refuses to do so. He knows what he’s been diagnosed with, and he knows how it makes him act, but he doesn’t take responsibility.

None of you are really surprised Huggy Diaper defended Kanye, right?

[Fireball]

None of you are really surprised Huggy Diaper defended Ye, right?

Ye could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in NYC and get props from Huggy.

I think I just saw clips of Kanye on gavin from the proud boys podcast.

I actually didn't know that guy still existed on the internet.
