This was the last straw? It's fucking awful and he's a piece of shit for it, but this is far from the first indication of him being an unforgivable piece of shit.

That people have to literally dawn a swastika in support of nazism for people to recognize that they are garbage human beings is fucked up. At least literal nazis can still be seen as bad...

I wonder how insulting it would have been to don your cap at someone back in the day 🤔

"Fuck you, I'mma put a hat on to humiliate you!"

I think we can see from the reaction to the hitler salute, that cognitive dissonance (or flat out support for nazism) is a hell of a drug, and will produce an endless stream of excuses and justifications to avoid acknowledging/admitting the truth.

The crazy thing is that I can't tell if it's a joke or real

Honestly, if that's real, the screenshot should go into the national archives. Future generations could probably use it with the same level of historicity as the Dewey Defeats Truman photo or MLK's speech the Lincoln Memorial, to demonstrate how utterly irredeemably insane and bizarre the nation was at this particular moment.

No it’ll be there, but it’ll just be photos of Trump and a private stash of all the porn they’re banning.

Yes, the nazi is selling nazi merchandise. What part of this is shocking to you?

Kanye has been telling y'all for literal years now that he's a nazi piece of shit; why the fuck do so many people keeping pretending he hasn't?

86

This. How people are only now suddenly "discovering" he's a nazi (or knew, but for whatever reason are only now drawing the line), when he's been spouting this shit for years at this point, is a bit ridiculous..

8

It's appalling as hell, no doubt, but unfortunately it's not shocking at this point.

37

I’m not shocked that he’s a nazi, I’m shocked that he’s being so overt about it.

2
sh.itjust.works

He doesn't seem to have a very firm grasp on reality so I could easily see people not taking some of the shit he says seriously. But yes he already gave plenty of reason to cancel him.

14

Just saying that to a certain extent, I can understand how a fan might say "yeah he says crazy nonsense all the time you shouldn't take it too seriously" but this doubling down makes that an even more untenable position.

Mmmmmgar.... mmmmmbhaaauge.

Dunno, dark twisted fantasy is a banger of an album. Can't listen to it now due to the artist's recent actions, but it's genuinely a good album. Fuck Kanye and his enablement of fascism, there's no need to pretend that he never did anything cool - as if that would make his actions any less terrible.

13

Never was a fan, and at some point I realized I liked their songs far more without the lyrics. I understand their music has a huge legacy, but I just don't see it. Give me DOOM every time.

You've got a hit, how come it sold?

lemmy.fish

That's just wrong. If you want to hate on him for this Nazi shit, I'll absolutely agree with you, but saying his music is bad is objectively incorrect. He has made the best albums ever.

  • Graduation
  • The life of Pablo
  • 808s and heartbreaks
  • Late registration
  • Donda

Bo7areply

None of those albums would show up on my list of best albums.

They would all show up near the top of the list of shittiest albums though.

All I'm trying to say here is you can't say any album is objectively good or bad because music taste is subjective.

I take issue with you calling a subjective art form shit.

Like we can agree something isn’t for you, but calling something subjective shit is just silly really.

P.S. Fuck Kanye.

Edit: Anyone care to enlighten me as to where I am mistaken here? So I can learn.

Again. That’s subjective my guy.

I don’t really like Kanye, well runaway slaps hard.

I don’t like Wagner but to call him shit would be silly too. Some people don’t like Beethoven, is he shit?

You've answered your own question. Art is subjective. Fuck you and fuck Beethoven.

Then I think it would have been better if OP kept their opinions on music out of it and condemned the dude for being a literal Nazi or added imo.

Fuck me fine, but don’t come at Beethoven like that. I’ll fight you for my dawg.

I have address above that I sometimes struggle with not taking the literal meaning of what someone is saying and tried to explain how I will work on this in the future.

Please don’t attribute to malice what can be explained away by a mistake.

you didnt make a mistake. kanye made great music, but hes a shitty person. if everybody stopped listening to music made by shitty people there'd be a lot less music in the world. led zeppelin were pedos (at least page was for sure) and they are still revered to this day as rock gods. just seems hypocritical to me

You're wrong because you're being needlessly obtuse.

There's no reason to addend "in my opinion" to the end of what are clearly and obviously inherently subjective topics.

It wasn't a blanket statement until you decided to disingenuously disregard the implied non-subtle subtext.

I've always hated this shit. "One Directions sucks" "Well that's just your opinion!" No fucking shit, what the fuck else would it be??

5

I do apologise. I sometimes struggle with what people say and trying not to think literal about it. I will try and do better.

I would ask that you do the same, as calling me disingenuous isn’t quite right as it was a misunderstanding of language on my part.

This man has been screenshotted all over the internet posting complete bullshit takes including him claiming to be a Nazi several times on shitter. He's the same dude who tried to buy Parler a few years back. He's gone completely 'round the twist and literally everybody knew about it.

Now he's essentially made some random post about his new teeth (ew) to specifically drive engagement to this Nazi shit and your helping him. Delete this nonsense.

If they don't know they have not been paying attention because he's literally been screaming it everywhere he can in order to get attention like an edgy teenager. So congrats on giving him exactly what he wants.

New people get into music every day. Info, if common to you, is not common to all. So sharing is caring.

Even the code is bullshit. I hadn't actually given his dumbass site any traffic, so I failed to see the batshit insanity going on. Now it's about as obvious as those Republican fundraisers that were asking for $88 in donation to their coffers.

27

I've been calling him NazYe ever since he showed up on info wars next to fuentes ranting about Jews.

Fuck Kanye, glad I never liked his music so I never supported the Nazi fuck.

24

I can't wait to see all the videos of people destroying any and all ye merch. I'm sure all the people who did those videos for Nike would be even more enraged by this, right?

Right?

Most Kanye fans won't care about this.

They don't care what he does at all and never will.

He's said he was a nazi multiple times already, was attracted to minors.

They don't care

17

They don't care about all the child abuse at Donda Academy either. Kanye should be in prison for that. They don't even want to hear about it if you bring it up.

I mean yeah if they're still fans at this point. I acknowledge his influence and (past) talent but I have been unable to listen to him for years now

No, because this is on a t-shirt, and Nazis didn't wear t-shirts. Look at all of the photos from Nazi Germany: you'll see the swastika on medallions, banners, flags...but never on a t-shirt.

No, of course not. They put out some predictable, finger-wagging statement about how this is insensitive to Jews.

Of course, Ye doesn't care, but they had to say something.
