    I’m not a Nazi

    Says guy who sells Nazi shirts, directly stated he was a Nazi, multiple times and has run anti-semitic rants for 3+ years

    No Kanye, you’re a Nazi, now and forever. I liked the old Kanye, not this new Kanye. Always in the news Kanye.

    If he dedicated the rest of his wealth to fighting antisemitism, if he lent his incredible fame to reversing the horrible legacy of racist, chauvinist violence, if he really gave a shit and fixed himself and worked his ass off for years, then maybe, some people might begin to forgive him.

    But dong a bunch of Nazi shit and then saying you’re not a Nazi, is Nazi shit. This is meaningless and pathetic, cowardly behavior.

        Even decades later, it pisses me off Hitler shot himself in his bunker as opposed to getting to have every person in Europe personaly beat him to a bloody pulp.

      I don’t think this is a case a of real politics. He’s just …I don’t know the right word or the politically correct word…

        Kanye has legit bipolar I or schizoaffective disorder. There was a moment after his mother passed where the guy’s entire personality changed and his thoughts became really disorganized, which was likely the first episode of whatever he’s still dealing with. My point is you’re correct, Kanye’s not approaching this as a coherent ideology and

          I’m Bipolar II and I’ve never once accidentally said “Man I sure do love Nazis” or put official merch of a Swastika.

          Sure he’s crazy, but bipolar doesn’t explain it.

          At this point, I no longer care. It doesn’t matter how legitimate his excuses may be. He’s spread and popularized enough hatred that I don’t think he deserves sympathy anymore.

    Who gives a shit, this guy is done forever. Go cry on bazillionaire island or whatever people who don’t have to work ever again do.

    Why is it that once you get more money than sense your brain breaks? Shit look at elon, he only started doing nazi stuff too after he was the richest man on earth and cash meant nothing anymore. It’s all ego now, the only currency you can have after material objects aren’t a problem. I think these guys want to have a following no matter who follows them (hint it’s nazis I guess) and enter the religious stage to get there.

    Life isn’t meant to be “won” like capitalism. Nobody is supposed to achieve the status of getting what you dream of every time. I don’t think Kanye or anyone else like him can see the forest through the trees at this point.

      Because rich folks don’t want to attribute their fortune to being born rich, to being lucky by being in the right place at the right time, or shady dealings. It’ll always convince themselves it’s because they’re so hard working, such a genius, such great instincts for business… It doesn’t help that they’ll attract a bunch of yesmen and society at large respects money so much. From there on, they’ll Dunning–Kruger in spectaculair fashion over anything that strikes their fancy.

      The real smart ones know this can happen and make sure to guard themselves against this. They other ones fire anybody with a different opinion until their luck runs out.

      I dont think its even the money with these guys. They want worship and adulation, and MAGA is primed to do it. All the worst megalomaniacs are drawn to them like moths to a flame.

        There were a couple of black nazi officials but they likely had limited rights to reproduce given the Aryan purity agenda.

            I’ll admit that I can’t find any specific roles for the nazis, publically they banned other races from working in the military and government, but there were many black members of the Wehrmacht’s LFV as well as the Free Arabian Legion, and also stories from some of those captured on the Russian front as well.

            The rest of what I said was on point, they faced sterilization in the heart of Germany.

            If there were some higher ranking, they and their descendants definitely wouldn’t want to share it with the world.
