Just a year after this happened and it seems like everybody has forgotten about it. Yea he lost his adidas partnership but nowadays, he's been a welcomed surprise guest at Travis shows, I'm hearing his songs being popped off on in clubs and parties, and he's been going viral on TikTok with tons of praise and no criticism or mention of him being a Nazi in the comments

Is it Americans having the memory of a goldfish? Americans not really hating Hitler/Nazis/anti-semitism that much? Kanye's music is just too good to ignore? Americans just loving to deepthroat and worship anybody that's famous?

    It's not a bit. You should hate Kanye for starving children to death. Every wealthy person is a mass murderer. I don't care about some shit he said while he was manic, he's a baby murderer. Hate him for the real life acts of evil, not the mania posting.

      Let me know when he comes down from his, I guess, year-long manic episode and apologizes with some comprehension of the gravity of doing Holocaust denial and being trotted around by that neonazi fuck.

        I am, in no way, defending Kanye. The premise of the OP post is that we discovered something about Kanye we didn't previously know when he went all mask off, and the OP is wondering why that didn't result in him getting cancelled. I'm saying Kanye has been a mass murderer for multiple decades, so anyone conscientious was already not a Kanye fan, so the premise of the OP post was ridiculous. The only reason it was about Kanye and not "When will Swift get cancelled for failing to use her immense wealth to mitigate child hunger" is because Kanye has bipolar disorder.

        Kanye apologizing while holding onto his wealth would obviously be an entirely empty gesture. Until we illegal-to-say, round them all up, then illegal-to-say, y'all just have to accept 90% of pop culture is made by fascists.

      So would you say you differentiate between someone who earned vast amounts of wealth through their labor vs someone who earned their wealth through the extraction of surplus of the labor of others

        Why would I? Choosing to let children starve is murder. Simple as.

              If existing with enough money to afford appetizers or desert and entrées without worrying about the cost every time you eat out means you're a baby-killing murderer because you don't live like Diogenes. Basically the "you live in a society yet you criticize it" bit very-intelligent

                You don't need to give to charity to the point you're living in poverty, but if you can significantly improve someone else's life without meaningful impact to your own there is a duty to do so.

                The ultra rich are in the unique position that they can order the creation of systems to directly mitigate the worst excesses of capitalism. The failure to do so is what makes them mass murderers. The logic doesn't apply to the proletariat, and under socialism I would hope no individual has that power.

      Every wealthy person is a mass murderer

      So every single popular musician, actor, artist, author, athlete, etc. is a mass murderer, right lol

        If you have millions of dollars like T Swift and Kanye and you dont do good things with it youre a murderer, I agree with this. You dont get a capitalist pass just because you sing a song

        Literally yes. You need to reach a level of wealth where you could build systems to address poverty. Not super common with artists, but Kanye and Beyonce and Taylor Swift etc have all reached it.
