Kanye West on Alex Jones

[paulpablo]

Just thought I'd make a thread about it before anyone else does.

I think either the guy has a weird way of saying things and putting things across, he doesn't think before he says things, or he's absolutely crazy.

All of the above.

Plus, he's an anti-semitic piece of shit.

[Fake Messiah]

At least he has friends in high places to defend him.

I prefer not to comment until I know what Jeff Bezos has to say about what Alex Jones has to say about Kanye West on Pablo Cruise.  Love will find a way.

TimbahOnToast recently did a video specifically about this. Not even necessarily his turn to the right, mostly about his speech and what it reveals about his thought patterns:




He compares Ye with his experience caring for a relative who had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, something Ye has been diagnosed with, though he denies it now. Timbah's conclusion is that he's in the midst of a manic episode.

Saying antisemitic shit on an insurrectionist's show.  Who woulda thunkit?

We can say whatever we want about kanye west, but he did manage to make alex jones uncomfortable, which is a public service and a flat out miracle all by it's onesies.

He has bipolar II disorder. He does not take medication, and he has cut out of his life everyone who cares (or used to care) about him, and replaced them with certifiable far-right individuals. The last time people who actually cared about him were a part of his life, they essentially compelled him to receive treatment. That was around 2018 (I think?), when he was going through his MAGA phase. He has since decided that his diagnosis and medication are a part of the Jewish conspiracy to silence him. He is undoubtedly experiencing a manic episode.

I feel bad for him. But I also see comments across the internet agreeing with him, which is horrendous. He needs to be de-platformed ASAP, for his own mental health and to prevent his now-Nazi ideology from spreading. Unfortunately there's a lot of anti-semitism in the hip hop community and in the black community at large, partially because black artists feel as though they are taken advantage of by studio executives and producers, many of whom are Jewish.

Ye isn't the first to say things like this (the studio exec part, not the Hitler part lol). They are correct in thinking artists, across the board, are taken advantage of by large studios and corporations. They are wrong, obviously, to think it has anything to do with Judaism or that there is a grand Jewish conspiracy. Perpetuating that idea leads to hate crimes and violence against Jewish people.

Kanye's downward spiral is going to end badly.
