Is Kanye good or bad?

    Kanye has synthesized his bipolar diagnosis successfully with his spirituality and his morality.

    As someone with bipolar: no. he has not. Hahaha, nor is that a thing. Bipolar fucks you up, that is all. I even am a spiritual person, who has followed teachings from a mentor with bipolar, who is very well-trained in their lineage, and... you need medication, or you are not well. People since time immemorial have had medicines to temper bipolar, you don't just let it run rampant. Lithium has been used for thousands of years. Self-acceptance isn't just running naked through the woods with no plan, imo (at least, not for your whole life :P ). It's about recognizing your strengths and limitations, and working with what you are.

    I'm not convinced Kanye's a socialist, or that he has a coherent ideology of any kind. Like, a month ago he was a trump supporter haha. At his rally he was like 'abortion is bad so I will give every new mother $50,000', which I'm pretty sure he made up on the spot. If Kanye's a socialist, it's in the sense that Elon Musk is a socialist; ie. they say they are, but they don't even understand the word well enough to know that they are not.

    Kanye's a billionaire with bipolar who makes great music, and his politics are all over the place, ever-shifting, not so much because he has bipolar but because nothing means anything to him, because he's a billionaire. He has the privilege of never, ever needing to think about working class interests.
