Ah, he's back on his meds again.

Has anyone considered not talking about him?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I give it a few days until he backtracks and doubles down somehow

"You misunderstood me, I'm not a NAZI, I'm literally Hitler reincarnate!"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 minutes ago

if it talks like a nazi, walks like a nazi and throws saluts like a nazi, its a nazi

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 hour ago

If it walks like a nazi and talks like a nazi, then it probably is a nazi.

I'm not a Nazi

Says guy who sells Nazi shirts, directly stated he was a Nazi, multiple times and has run anti-semitic rants for 3+ years

No Kanye, you're a Nazi, now and forever. I liked the old Kanye, not this new Kanye. Always in the news Kanye.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

Kanye

Kanye suck my balls

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 hours ago

If he dedicated the rest of his wealth to fighting antisemitism, if he lent his incredible fame to reversing the horrible legacy of racist, chauvinist violence, if he really gave a shit and fixed himself and worked his ass off for years, then maybe, some people might begin to forgive him.

But dong a bunch of Nazi shit and then saying you're not a Nazi, is Nazi shit. This is meaningless and pathetic, cowardly behavior.

I wish I could claim autorship, but it was originally from, I belive, a Tumblr post.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago

Whaddya have when Kanye sits at a table with 4 nazis?

5 nazis.

[–] [email protected] 164 points 7 hours ago (11 children)

A Nazi and a coward?

Typical and even worse; boring.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Nazi and coward are redundant statements.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Even decades later, it pisses me off Hitler shot himself in his bunker as opposed to getting to have every person in Europe personaly beat him to a bloody pulp.

Who gives a shit, this guy is done forever. Go cry on bazillionaire island or whatever people who don't have to work ever again do.

Why is it that once you get more money than sense your brain breaks? Shit look at elon, he only started doing nazi stuff too after he was the richest man on earth and cash meant nothing anymore. It's all ego now, the only currency you can have after material objects aren't a problem. I think these guys want to have a following no matter who follows them (hint it's nazis I guess) and enter the religious stage to get there.

Life isn't meant to be "won" like capitalism. Nobody is supposed to achieve the status of getting what you dream of every time. I don't think Kanye or anyone else like him can see the forest through the trees at this point.

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

Because rich folks don't want to attribute their fortune to being born rich, to being lucky by being in the right place at the right time, or shady dealings. It'll always convince themselves it's because they're so hard working, such a genius, such great instincts for business... It doesn't help that they'll attract a bunch of yesmen and society at large respects money so much. From there on, they'll Dunning–Kruger in spectaculair fashion over anything that strikes their fancy.

The real smart ones know this can happen and make sure to guard themselves against this. They other ones fire anybody with a different opinion until their luck runs out.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago

I dont think its even the money with these guys. They want worship and adulation, and MAGA is primed to do it. All the worst megalomaniacs are drawn to them like moths to a flame.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago

Lol, went pretty hard though. Fuck I love... the allied forces... resistance... antifa... what will soon come?

[–] [email protected] 71 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Nazis sell swastika t-shirts on their shitty clothing websites.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Also, I don't think Nazi celebrated his skin colour.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

There were a couple of black nazi officials but they likely had limited rights to reproduce given the Aryan purity agenda.

[–] RedstoneValley 2 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

No, there were none. Where do you get your history knowledge? From anime?

I'll admit that I can't find any specific roles for the nazis, publically they banned other races from working in the military and government, but there were many black members of the Wehrmacht's LFV as well as the Free Arabian Legion, and also stories from some of those captured on the Russian front as well.

The rest of what I said was on point, they faced sterilization in the heart of Germany.

If there were some higher ranking, they and their descendants definitely wouldn't want to share it with the world.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 7 hours ago

I think you will find, Mr. West, that it is not so easy to unring the bell. If you are truthfully NOT a Nazi then I would say you have a long road of public actions fighting Nazis convincingly if you wish to be believed.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 7 hours ago

Get fucked, Kanye.

[–] ThanksObama 19 points 6 hours ago

Go eat some fish sticks ye.

Kanye West Medicated: "That guys a silly goose..." Kanye West Unmedicated: *Goose stepping intensifies!" I for one prefer medicated Kanye, if he needs to be unmedicated to create art, lock the mofo away from his phone while he do it.

Looks like a Nazi to me. A black Nazi. lol. That’s gonna end well.

It's like the sniveling cultust in stories that gets eaten first by the monster they summoned, ignorantly expecting some kind of reward from a thing that fundamentally wants them dead.

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

Who? Never heard of this guy, anyways

[–] atzanteol 14 points 6 hours ago

You can't shake the devil's hand and say you're only kidding.
