    All these absurd algorithms have promoted the worst traits in some of the most prominent people. They are junkies addicted to visibility and attention, the constant feedback loop.

    Humans are drawn towards negativity: if something is “bad”, misspelled, we disagree with it, we engage with views & comments about how bad it is. We share it with a friend, saying, “Look how stupid this is.”

    This feeds the algorithm to prioritize division and anger. Unchecked and coupled with modern nihilistic views of moral value & importance, we’ve reinforced all the wrong things…

    The man who wrote Jesus Walks has completely lost his mind. His mom would be crying at this behavior.

    I feel like if my conservative grandparents, who died in the 90s, were transported to the modern world without context or the slow propaganda, would ask, “What is going on here?!” My grandfather fought in WWII against the Nazis.

    Most of this ranting is rhetorical: I’m venting. But I dunno… I’m not waking up to a happier day right now. The modern world is collapsing…

    Surprised the ADL isn’t claiming it’s just a misunderstanding and that it’s not a swastika but a reverse Buddhist peace symbol and HH stands for hope healing.

    Absolutely insane.

    This is the superbowl ad. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4eR--0vYHGc

    The ad would actually be funny if it wasn’t for the nazi shit, jfc. The shirt is the only thing being sold and it’s literally just a swastika on a white shirt. I don’t even want to post an image of it.

      You and I have very different opinions on “funny”. I saw that and thought it was fucking stupid. Knowing what’s being sold on the site, even worse.

        It’s funny in contrast to how high budget super bowl commercials usually are imo. Obviously the person and what’s being sold firmly puts it in the disgusting category.

          For me, it’s not even the person. It’s just a dumb ad. Just a guy going “uhhh” for 30 seconds. Like some futile attempt at viral marketing. The overall cheapness of the ad could be endearing if it wasn’t just so stupid.

    “I would never sell a swastika tee because people could be physically harmed wearing it … I love my fans and supporters,” he wrote on Saturday.

    Between taking a naked girl to an awards show and this stunt with the Hugo Boss under shirts, is he just desperate for attention?

    Seems like the most amazing thing to do would just not react at all.

      Maybe he’s a Nazi, maybe he’s insane, maybe both. Either way, he’s a fucking cunt.

    formerly known as Kanye west

    Did he legally change his full name to a mononym or something? Like, I’m pretty sure you can still identify Pitbull as “Armando” despite his stage name.

    The Super Bowl ad — which was not shown nationally but, according to multiple  reports, was at least seen in the Los Angeles area — shows Ye in a dentist’s chair apparently undergoing treatment.

    “So what’s up, guys? I spent, like, all the money for the commercial on these new teeth," he said. "So once again, I had to shoot it on the iPhone. Um, um, um, go to yeezy.com.” The shirts were not mentioned in the ad.

    I was going to say I don’t remember any Kanye ads.
