    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.
