I see a person who is intelligent but uneducated, feeling grossly entitled by commercial success, but who is exhibiting no signs of mental illness in such statements; rather, he is expressing hatred and trying to convince people it is love. He is an ignorant and dangerous a**hole, and may be mentally ill, but there is nothing in his statements to Alex Jones that leads me to think he is depressed, manic, delusional, paranoid, hallucinating, obsessed, or meriting any dilution of his BS by speaking about mental illness.

34. He is mentally ill

But I doubt that has much to do with his antisemetic rants. He's falling for Republicanism, hook, line, and sinker. Republicans say almost all of this in coded language daily. Kanye gets them, and he's simply saying the quiet parts out loud.

Take away the Hitler parts of this rant, and he isn't saying anything that mainstream Republicans don't say every single day on TV. There's a group of "evil globalists" pulling all the strings according to Kanye and the GOP. Kanye calls them "Zionists", which the GOP will use occasionally, but usually keep it to "globalists." We all know what they're saying, they're saying the Jews control everything and are evil. Only thing missing was a reference to George Soros, who the GOP uses as a stand in for "Jews."

And remember this, the current Trump loving GOP are great great admirers of the Nazis, the entire MAGA movement is modeled after Nazism not just in copying their slogans, but in use of propaganda, logos, and imagery. They've made a habit of literally recreating exactly the backdrops and decorations of the stages that Hitler gave speeches on for major Trump speeches.

Kanye hears Republicans loud and clear, they're only disappointed with him because he's been clearly translating their code words publicly.

His ability to accurately interpret information is impaired so when he hears some MAGA bs about whatever he literally can’t process what it means. Could he also be a raging anti-Semitic asshole? Of course.

This is exactly what is meant. MAGAs hate the Jews, Republicans too. "Coastal Elites", "Globalists", "Hollywood elites", "bankers" etc. etc. Kanye is hearing these term and correctly assessing that Trump and the Republicans mean the Jews whenever they say them.

This is a guy who just spent an evening with Trump at Trump's home. He heard every single one of these terms that night and knew exactly what Trump meant. Trump was talking about the Jews, Kanye is simply saying that obvious fact out loud.

He thinks he can do and say whatever he wants now.

Methinks ... he's very wrong.

OTOH, it's almost like he's setting up an insanity defense.

I can't figure it out.

How does it go? The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

All my life Americans have wondered where the good Germans were when the Nazis took over. Now we know. We are them. But maybe we can do better. We have to.

I'm assuming it is about Kanye's comments on Alex Jones show today but it could be something different. Twitter leaves a link going nowhere.

Edit: - Someone posted a picture that I believe he tweeted and yes it is disgusting. Next time please add more reference.

Had to scroll way down to find out what was going on.

Ye and his disgusting antisemitism are truly vomit worthy. I hope the process of his becoming a pariah is completed in the neat future. He is not fit for normal people to associate with. It's really a shame about all those kids he had with K.K. Kids need a father, but not one like him.

It's nice to see Twitter still has rules and hid the post. Glad I didn't see it.

West needed a massive intervention at least 10 years ago.

Of course, his Nazi "friends" will never let him know what they really think of him, as long as they can use his fame to boost their own visibility.
