In all seriousness it's getting pretty scary how mainstream fascism is now. Kanye is only amplifying and normalizing this shit acting as a puppet for Nick Fuentes.
If all it takes for fascism to become mainstream is a couple of wealthy people publicly platforming other nazis, then your society was never meaningfully anti-fascist to begin with.
US society and the plans and acts of its ruling class (indigenous genocide, slavery, etc) were huge inspirations to Nazis and German white nationalists generally, who built their colonies in Africa around this and some similar genocidal approaches by the UK. They expanded and analogized them as part of their plans for gaining and wielding power, especially in defining their race science and settler-colonial plans for Slavic peoples. The US has never been meaningfully anti-fascist, more like constantly quasi-fascist or nebulously ur-fascist, just lacking an impetus to condense around a particular "anti-establishment" fascist movement in response to a crisis of capitalism. The existing apparatuses, which are still fashy in essence (anti-left, anti-worker, anticommunist) quell those crises and suppress the left prior to any congealed fascist response.
People for real don't understand just how fucked this is. Kanye will just get away with this shit as we slide further and further into the pit of despair.

yes. the US is a country founded on slavery and settler-colonialism. Lebensraum is just an iteration of manifest destiny. that was my point.
I know I just like adding agitprop around here :)
