    This is what mental illness looks like. I hope he gets the help he needs and not the enablers that might end his life :/

      He may be mentally ill, but during these episodes he always goes to this Nazi shit. I think the mental illness just unmasks what he really feels.

        I mean at least he seems to realize in the full thread saying this shit is problematic, as opposed to just blurting it out completely unqualified per usual. Not making excuses, at the end of the day fuck Kanye, but this seems a very fine hair more sane than usual.

        Maybe I am just reading into it weird, granted it’s Ye so weird is the only way it can be read shrug

      Mental illness doesn’t make people nazis, just like mental illness doesn’t make people mass shooters, that’s simply not how it works.

        Mental illness can make you susceptible to stuff like this

      Sure, he’s mentally ill, but that also doesn’t excuse being a nazi. It may explain it, but he still deserves to be punched in the mouth for it.

      It’s also disingenuous and harmful to just use mental illness to attempt to dismiss it. People with mental illness already have a hard enough time living their lives without being compared to literal nazis.

      Mental illness doesn’t magically make you a Nazi. Plenty of manic people just think they can fly, or make really nice art. But instead, this dude uses his platform to boost nazis.

        Also, even if his mania turned him into a horrible person, it would be understandable that the first one was sudden and therefore not preventable, but this is like the second or third time he does this. So… what about his responsibility while stable to medicate and find ways to remain as stable as possible?

        I mean, the dude is undeniably mentally ill, and he likely refuses to treat it because the meds make him feel “numb” and he makes music when he’s manic. But mania is on the same classification as schizophrenia, and comes with many of the same issues.

        But yeah, in Kanye’s case he’s just a fucking Nazi who happens to have rampant untreated mental illness. The mental illness doesn’t excuse the Nazi bullshit.

        Nah, just answering his question

        This idiot, as mentally disabled and a black, would have get gassed and burned in my country, while his favourite leader was active here

    This guy needs serioua help

    Whether that help is medication and therapy or a long walk off a short pier I can’t say.

      I was about to say the same. Kanye is clearly going through emotional cascades that he doesn’t know how to handle, especially after him and his wife divorced.

        Yeah, and if he turns around there’s room for a sort of reconciliation but also I’ve gone through trauma and have mental illness as have many of my friends, none of us became nazis

        That’s a manic episode. Unfortunately, I’ve known people of various hues who held Nazi ideology. Then there are supremacists of all nationalities and hues.

        I think we are all just people with our own sets of challenges. Marginalization/shunning doesn’t prevent this. Opportunities to care for oneself do.

          Marginalization/shunning doesn’t prevent this.

          It is literally the only thing that works against Nazis/fascists besides violence. This is just the “paradox of tolerance” being taken too far. These people do not deserve to have their hateful ideology legitimized. It needs to be made known that there is no place in modern society for them, so long as they choose to support or espouse that ideology.

          I am all for acceptance. Which is exactly why I understand that these people are not compatible with a society that is accepting.

            I mean mental illness. I’m not sure if his contributes to that, unless he has schizophrenia or mpd.

              Sure, the mental illness should be treated. But it doesn’t excuse or explain the Nazi shit.

    Who is he talking to? What money? Every time he pops up, I have no idea wtf he is even on about. At the end of the day, I guess the only pertinent information is that he is a nazi. A very strange and confused nazi, but I suppose they all are.

    I really hope he gets help for whatever mental issues he’s going through (I do not mean this is a malicious way fr)

    OK so hear me out.

    I’m not that into celebrities, especially those who think self aggrandizement is essential to their personalities after they make it big…so…

    that being said I just realized P Diddy and Kanye were 2 different people.
