    like i probably know more about both present-day anti-Semitism and the arc of Kanye's career and public persona than anybody (well except maybe @krishna_bound)

    and i can say that he has never been less of a "Free thinker" than he is being right now

    the propaganda he is parroting is, even setting aside the blatant bigotry bordering on violence, him copying rhetoric and talking points that have been shaped and filed down to sharp points by other people for decades

    he is indeed now a vessel for a subversive ideology that really does present one with a rabbit hole that someone can disappear into and allow oneself to be subsumed by

    it's really sad

    the first paragraph of this article by, ironically, right-wing writer john derbyshire sums up pretty well how passe Kanye's current stage is

    "One evening early on in my career as an opinion journalist in the USA, I found myself in a roomful of mainstream conservative types standing around in groups and gossiping. Because I was new to the scene, many of the names they were tossing about were unknown to me, so I could not take much part in the conversation. Then I caught one name that I recognized. I had just recently read and admired a piece published in Chronicles under that name. I gathered from the conversation that the owner of the name had once been a regular contributor to much more widely read conservative publications, the kind that have salaried congressional correspondents and full-service LexisNexis accounts, but that he was welcome at those august portals no longer. In all innocence, I asked why this was so. “Oh,” explained one of my companions, “he got the Jew thing.” The others in our group all nodded their understanding. Apparently no further explanation was required. The Jew thing. It was said in the kind of tone you might use of an automobile with a cracked engine block, or a house with subsiding foundations. Nothing to be done with him, poor fellow. No use to anybody now. Got the Jew thing. They shoot horses, don’t they?"

    I can’t hate Kanye cause I just don’t take him seriously. The way he talks about his points, it is so obvious bro is just saying what other people told him in his weakened mental state. No mentally sane man would do what he just did

    yea dude is 100% on a bipolar mania trip rn.

    Good intentions, piss poor execution.

    Yeah I don’t think Kanye has negative intentions at all. He just unfortunately tends to be the pawn in someone else’s game and he always plays into their hands. Doesn’t help that he’s clearly mentally unwell and has no one that genuinely cares left (which is his fault)
