You're wrong and clearly very ignorant to

• what happened to Mel Gibson
  ( He got banned from Hollywood and people protested him )

• what hate speech is,

• what freedom of speech is ,

• the fact that there's a difference between a private company having it's policies that customer's agree upon when signing on to pay for their services ( which constitutes a legal contract betweens the parties) and government apparatus like the NSA spying on US citizen breaking US laws ( u mentioned the NSA to make a very stupid point)

it's almost like u really can't read and understand the words infront of you

U only read and reply to what u think people mean and for some strange reason u think ye is being treated unfairly by anyone who condems him for his anti-jew statements and hate speech

Bro I don’t think anyone believes that Kanye is going to pull the Holocaust 2

But it’s still not okay for him to say

He shouldn’t have said it and probably should be temporarily banned from sm.

But when you have people saying take his music off streaming and he deserves to go bankrupt and dadada, the reaction proportionally makes it seem like people really do believe he would missile strike a synagogue or something

Nothing Ye said is implicitly violent or against Jews. Implicitly violent speech is saying something like “ I’m going to blow up a synagogue tomorrow”.

And he wasn’t given the chance to clarify or expound upon what definitely is a suspect and eyebrow raising statement.

All the “he’s been on the Jew hate train for a while” narratives are coming from known Kanye detractors who also seemingly withheld this information until this opportune moment which imo casts light on the validity of it somewhat. But hey it could be true.

There’s definitely an epidemic of the alt right co-opting free speech to defend hatred. It’s insidious af bc the chain reaction that’s caused is that every conversation has to have a hard line now. There’s no room for debate or compromise on either side. Public discourse is now completely polarized. Lynch mob mentality has firmly taken over.

You spit a lot of truth in your post but not everyone who’s observing this Ye stuff from a perspective other than “burn his life to the ground” is an alt-right sympathizer and making it seem that way further empowers that segment to claim more bodies in the idealistic battleground, which is of course their goal.

All of that of course not touching the absurdly hypocritical actions of JPM which is the topic of the thread in the first place.

Sooooo in order to absolve ye of hate speech:

• You just made up the idea that hate speech has to be an implicit violent threat

• Then offered a failure of an explanation as to why "defcon on Jewish people" isn't an implicit violent threat

All that in your first paragraph

Since I know what time you're on, I only skimmed the rest of your post and of course it's more victimizing ye and down playing his history of stupidity and bigotry

Yea, the TLOP era is sad in that way. The vibes had changed and things started to feel different. Songs like FML hit even harder nowadays.

Bro did you even read the document this isn’t a small account Kanye forgot to pay the bill on lmfaooo

It directly says they’re dropping Ye, Yeezy, and the company.

That doesn’t say anything about the size of the account. Nevermind the fact it’s obviously extremely easy to have accounts with other banks lol

This is becoming circular now.

My entire statement was that people should not be banned from banks regardless of speech. It has absolutely zero to do with defending or agreeing with what Ye said. Banks are functionally public companies despite having private designation on paper. Corporations are also “people” on paper. They are not functionally people. Banks are an integral part of society that with which the voting public cannot function without.

Hate speech can be defined as calling for violence on groups
It usually has to have the factor of calling for violence
