      He's just a mentally unwell guy with a big megaphone who has been persistently propagandized by Candace Owens

        From your other comments you are clearly using his mental health as an excuse. Which is extremely pathetic and really harmful to people who struggle with it. Having unhealthy thought patterns doesn't turn you into a fascist and I would know.

        I don't understand how someone who is clearly fanboying in denial is getting upvoted for just blatant apologia but good job, Hexbear.

        Being bipolar does not make you a racist or a fascist. It may cause some pretty frightening delusions when you're in a manic episode but those are usually along the lines of "Everyone wants to have sex with me" or "I am the smartest business person in the world" or "I am actually Jesus".

        And like the commenter below, I would know. I actually have Bipolar Disorder.

          not making excuses for his antisemitism, but from what i’ve witnessed it seems he’s having delusions and is paranoid about the “jews” trying to control him or hurt him

      His material interests align with fascism and he's a black Israelite which is antisemitic.

          Fuck the source but here's the background on his recent statement that black people are the real Jews: https://www.timesofisrael.com/black-people-are-actually-jews-the-origins-of-kanye-wests-inflammatory-remarks/

            I know he said that he says a lot of shit, that doesn't make him a black Israelite lol

              He just said exactly what they say as their core conspiracy theory.

              What would make him a black Israelite or alternatively what would make you not listen to an antisemitic reactionary as if there aren't other rappers? Does he have to join Black Hammer or does parroting Ghazi's rhetoric suffice?

      Turns out "George Bush does not care about black people" was a broken clock moment.

        wasn’t a broken clock he was genuinely progressive back then and expressed a lot of leftist adjacent sentiments in his music, seriously so sad to see how far he’s fallen

      back in the long ago, people from faraway places would come to divine wisdom from the toxic gas fueled ramblings of mentally and emotionally unstable "oracles" living in caves on greek islands. it was thought that they spoke in riddles as diviners of the gods.

      today, through the magic of progress, the oracles are just people with lots of money. due to the pervasive nature of spectacle, mass culture and twitter, these rambling cave people can deliver their every thought directly to every screen and handheld device around the world. so, even if you aren't interested, rest assured that someone will excitedly pass along the latest mouth fart some idiot pushed from their brain.

      he's on his divorced dad to alt right pipeline arc. yes he struggles with bipolar disorder, he's definitely not handling it well, but ultimately, i don't think being bipolar makes you rabidly antisemitic like kanye is getting so, i'm guessing it's the other stuff.
