Nicholas G CameronFor folks who haven't seen the news or clips, Kanye went on Alex Jones today and came out as a Nazi.
Lots of praise for Hitler, Nazism, along with obviously a huge barrage of antisemitism.
Fallon Stone@NGCameron I push back on the notion that he's unwell. Being mentally unstable doesn't lead one into bigotry or antisemitism. Nazi 'values' just make sense to a man who believes himself to be vastly superior with wealth and power overdue. If he's a genius, and not as wealthy or powerful as he believes he should be, someone else has to be responsible.
Mark W. Alexander@FallonStone @NGCameron
If he can negotiate the cognitive dissonance of praising a "superior race" while being an undeniable member an "inferior race" I think it's fair to assume there is a bit of irrationality and/or personal disassociation that is likely discussed in the #DSM.
I mean, I'm not a professional but my first diagnostic question is "What the fuck, bro?"
And I don't think he has a rational answer.
@AnonymooseGuy @NGCameron when you say "while being an undeniable member an 'inferior race'" what do you mean?
@FallonStone @NGCameron
First, "quotes" mean I don't believe it.
Second, he's Black which the (again "quote") "superior," aka #Aryan race, despises.
Third, if a Black man proclaims th ascendancy of a philosophy that despises him he needs help to address his self-hatred.
I weep for the man. No one should suffer the impossible contradictions he imposes on himself.
@AnonymooseGuy @NGCameron I see your point. I do wonder how much of the truth about Hitler's beliefs, Kanye knows. He may not associate Hitler's views with anti-black ideals... Or he could cherrypick and prioritize Hitler's antisemitism while dismissing his racist views as wrong. I hesitate to liken bigotry rooted in misinformation that is self-serving to mental illness. But he definitely has (and had) a distorted view of reality for decades long before his antisemitism showed up.
@FallonStone @NGCameron
Yeah, well, "a distorted view of reality" is observational enough to validate my concern.
Or as my grandpappy said, "Sumpin' just ain't right 'chere. Hope his hounds don't lead 'im astray but I fear he's lost to the will-o'-the-wisps."
It's best if he takes no one with him.
Fries Andersen@NGCameron I have known many with mental illness, and none of them liked Nazis. Kanye is a horrible, crappy person. And as far as being a great talent, I can think of many other entertainers who are far better than this yutz. #kanye #ye
