    Dear Americans: I am really fucking sick of explaining that the Iraq war was MASSIVELY unpopular everywhere but in America and I guess Britain. Being against that war was super fucking normal everywhere else. Stop being so fucking self centered. Kanye was never going to be a fucking Marxist leader. This is absurd

      THIS IS REVISIONISM.

      KANYE WEST WOULD HAVE IMPLODED THE AMERIKAN EMPIRE ONCE HE ACHIEVED FULL CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS

      The subconscious bloodlust of the amerikan people CANNOT BE UNDERSTATED.

      It was unpopular in America, too.

          Biggest anti-war protests in US history happened in 2003, and they dragged on well into 2012.

          People we're crying "It's Vietnam all over again" on day one, and they were right.

            "Most unpopular" as in maybe 30-40% of the population was against it at the time.

              At it's popular peak.

              The war barely crested 50% before the invasion and sank. A year in...

              The period from November 2003 to October 2004 the public opinion on the war varied noticeably. Public support went "from a high of more than 55% in mid-December immediately after the capture of Saddam Hussein, to a low of 39% in mid to late June just before the U.S. transferred power to the newly formed Iraqi government."

              None of this shit mattered, because politicians don't respond to public sentiment, they simply move to deflect attention or blame.

              But without a continuously hammered media war drum, pro-war sentiment tanks out quickly.

                Ehh, even in 1992 there was a majority of Americans who favored going back and removing Saddam.

                The nadir of support for the war was still almost 40%, and after the media machine stopped prioritizing the war, it was about half and half for a few years. Even during the Obama admin, Dem support for the war reached a majority.

                Americans love their war. That's the primary reason why Biden is so unpopular now.

                Also, like, I'm in a country that literally did not participate in the war despite being Canada, so yeah, it was more popular in America where they sent an army

        Honestly, I believe that the FBI had a plan, but the LAPD is just so racist that they simply killed Biggie and Tupac without much help from the feds

        I believe that 90% of American ops are like this

        Yeah sure toppling the government of [country] would further capitalism and weakens the communism, but they did it because the director just want to see [slur]s suffer.

      Yes. The Amerikan Government Murdered Tupac Shakur because he was the child of Black Panthers.

    Comment 1

    The Kardashian family was clearly to blame here. Kanye's grief over the death of his mother through the racist Amerikan healthcare system resulted in him seeking treatment for his grief through self-medication in class collaborationism.

    This set off an avalanche of previously untreated long-term persistent mental health issues that, while likely biologically or epigenetically based, was also inherently compounded and made worse by the settler-colonialist insistence on co-opting any and all potentially revolutionary figures or ideologies at any cost necessary.

      Comment 2

      Kanye West was one of the only Anti-Imperialist voices present in the Bush Era of mass genocide throughout the global south. He was joined by other pop-culture figures such as the dixie chicks, green day, and "demon days" by gorillaz. None of these other three figures remotely challenged the Amerikan bourgeoisie to the point they were directly inconvenienced.

      Meanwhile, Kanye forced George W Bush (may he literally be murdered in a fit of terror and pants-shitting enhanced interrogation) to confront his own complete and utter hatred and racism for any human being who was not was a white cishet able-bodied man.

      WATCH THIS FUCKING VIDEO AND TELL ME KANYE WEST WAS NOT HEADED TO THE FUCKING LEFT BEFORE BEING DRAGGED INTO THE RIGHT.

      Kanye spoke direct truth to fucking power. Mike Myers couldn't say anything beside liberal platitudes because KANYE SPOKE TRUTH.

        Direct transcript:

        "I hate the way they portray us in the media. You see a black family, it says, "They're looting." You see a white family, it says, "They're looking for food." And, you know, it's been five days [waiting for federal help] because most of the people are black. And even for me to complain about it, I would be a hypocrite because I've tried to turn away from the TV because it's too hard to watch. I've even been shopping before even giving a donation, so now I'm calling my business manager right now to see what is the biggest amount I can give, and just to imagine if I was down there, and those are my people down there. So anybody out there that wants to do anything that we can help — with the way America is set up to help the poor, the black people, the less well-off, as slow as possible. I mean, the Red Cross is doing everything they can. We already realize a lot of people that could help are at war right now, fighting another war — and they've given them permission to go down and shoot us!...

        George Bush doesn't care about black people!”

        Lots and lots of people stumble across leftist talking points. Only time will tell whether it's out of principle or out of opportunism.

        Kanye thrived in the environment that "corrupted" Kanye. Without it, he would not be Kanye.
