If you see someone wearing that shirt, it is only right to deck them in the temple

Enjoying his Swastee in his Swasticar

Sad to see that the dude's in this state. He clearly needs psychiatric care, not a platform from which to yell his absurdities.

Useful fucking idiot.

He knows he's black, right?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 hours ago

I think he forgot that a long time ago.

Does this mean whatever payment processing center is used for his site is also pro, whatever this is?

It's shopify, which requires an account to report. So if anyone has a shopify account, please do the needful. Can probably be considered a threat of violence or terrorist organization, or both.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 hours ago

I have an account.

When I tried to report it as terrorist organization, the form gets stuck in a redirect loop. It's broken.

Threat of violence worked but I needed to provide my full name, phone number and address which felt pretty shit.

And I was wrong about who was the dumbest person on Earth.

I couldn't have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC

You must have been really optimistic to expect something different out of these morons, to me it's more surprising they managed to keep quiet until now

Harambee was our anchor being. Everything's been fraying at the edges since that day.

We had a second chance with Peanut the Squirrel. We fucked it up again.

The world really ended in 2012. We're living through the blooper reel.

Oh stop it you stupid leftys. Maybe he just like the design of it. Maybe he's autistic. Anyway no need to start calling everyone nazis.

 /s   **** it's a joke**** please everyone be aware that I'm joking** Sorry but I need this to be crystal clear, it's a long story.

Anybody know what the official shop site is called? On yeezy(dot)com is only one item and that’s a white r-Shirt with a black swastika on the front.

The shop feels broken tho, because there are almost no ux elements.

Is he doing this to remain relevant?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

This is the official website. It's linked on the wiki page for Kanye and Kanye has advertised it on his Insta. I thought it was fake too, because it's incredibly poorly designed. You can't even see the price of the shirt until it's in your cart.

And suddenly Chappelle's blind black man KKK member is truth.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

I actually didn't know that this was legal to do in the U.S.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

There aren't a lot of jurisdictions in the world that ban the sale or display of the swastika (in Nazi-supporting circumstances). Australia and Germany are the only ones that come to mind, and Australia has only done so very recently (this year).

[–] RmDebArc_5 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Don’t forget about Austria, although I believe that won’t be for much longer as the next head of state is openly a Hitler fanboy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I didn't know, but that makes sense. My state in Aus also went further and banned the salute, and has actually prosecuted people under that law.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago

I'm not sure if displaying a swastika is banned, if it is I wasn't aware of that.

Most states banned the salute. The federal govt recently banned it too, with mandatory incarceration.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

It's apparently encouraged even

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 hours ago

GOOD! Let assholes put a literal target on their chest. I'm fine with this. Fuck me, I should start selling Nazi merchandise so I can track them.

[–] [email protected] 65 points 10 hours ago (7 children)

What's insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I'm sure someone at FOX will say "We had no idea he would put this on his site", which we'll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 9 hours ago

At least the next Superbowl halftime show is going to be interesting:

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 hours ago

Guys, just because he went on Alex Jones to make racist jokes and talk about how much he loves Hitler doesn't mean he's a nazi

This dude is off the fucking rails, batshit insane.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

And what's sad is that he's wealthier than everyone that uses lemmy, combined.

Why the fuck does good shit always happen to bad people, and good people always get shit on?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

At least you're not a black Nazi, bud. Money doesn't equal happiness. I bet he's miserable.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Money does, however, buy security. Money would solve all of my worst problems and make the other ones easier to handle. We don’t need a lot, but sure as hell need more than we have now and people like him don’t deserve a damn fucking cent(besides any universal social programs because that’s what universal means and I ain’t gunna be that guy).

ADL easily calls out this symbol as one “adopted by Hitler as the primary emblem of the Nazis,” but can’t say the same about an extremely recognizable salute also adopted by Hitler as a primary symbol of the Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 hours ago

The ADL is a zionist organization that was literally founded to protect a pedophile and child rapist who was, with no relevance to those actions whatsoever, Jewish. Do not take any of their "stances" as being for social justice.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

Just an attention whore seeking attention.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

lol what the fuck is going on in America?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

Russia won.
