"And Gay people are controlled by Bill Gates so that they don't have children for population control."

He ain’t right.

That boy ain't right, I tell ya hwat.

[–] frickineh 30 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No it's true. Bill Gates gave me $50, or put a chip in my COVID vaccine, or something and told me not to have kids and I was like, "oh, yeah cool." Don't pay any attention to the many, many gay and lesbian couples who have children, and the many straight couples that don't. Me and Kanye know the real truth.

Seriously though, I wish that man would stay on his meds. I feel bad for his kids. They deserve a dad who's stable and not super into Hitler.

[–] captainlezbian 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He’s still trying to get his money back from my gf. She agreed to prefer women then went and had 4 kids

[–] frickineh 1 points 8 months ago

God damn it. There goes that incredibly sensible plan to reduce the population by getting a very small minority not to have babies. Sorry, Bill!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

Kanye is prone to severe mania with psychosis at best, but more likely schizoaffective disorder. His thoughts are not based in reality

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

He's bipolar and that's definitely more sad than anything. Homie needs help and support...

[–] Mirshe 36 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Nah, sorry. I'm going with my favorite podcaster's take on this: mental health is not your fault, but it is your responsibility. Kanye is bipolar, and unmedicated, both of these things are true. However, that doesn't mean we should simply ignore or excuse his comments as "well he's still in a manic state." He knows what he's saying, he's backed it up and doubled down when confronted on it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Yes obviously, I'm not condoning what he did and said. He's very obviously mentally ill, I'm just pointing out that it's sad and he needs professional help.

[–] affiliate 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

who’s the podcaster in question? i’ve been looking for a new podcaster to listen to

[–] Mirshe 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Marcus Parks of Last Podcast on The Left and No Dogs in Space.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

And Marcus definitely knows a few things about mental health. He's been around that block once or twice.

Biology is not strong with this one.

[–] chemical_cutthroat 40 points 8 months ago

Donda Academy, West's private and unaccredited Christian school in Ventura County, Calif

I want to believe he isn't using this as some kind of fucked tax-exempt shell company, but I know how the world works...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

Dude was never a genius, he just played people. He used his “good Christian” fake attitude to rizz everyone up then when he got too big for his little britches he let his real self out behind the scenes until it became the actual scene and here we are.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Hitler level stuff? Was he executing people?

[–] jeffw 59 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

It's a little different, they just mean that Kanye compared himself to Hitler. It's not like someone pointing the finger and saying "He's literally Hitler!"

edit: the full quote is "I am on some complete Hitler level stuff. Minus the gas chambers."

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh, that's a quote from Kanye. Wow.

[–] jeffw 12 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Because, y’know, it’s a totally normal thing to compare yourself to a genocidal maniac

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Especially one that definitely would've genocided you too given the opportunity. Not sure where Kanye thinks he fits in Hitler's blond haired blue eyed übermensch.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 6 points 8 months ago

He really seems to like that guy huh

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I’m starting to think Kanye has problems…

[–] ghostBones 9 points 8 months ago

Kanye and Diddy are living proof that becoming a billionaire is destructive to your morality.

[–] formergijoe 6 points 8 months ago

I'm confused. I thought Kanye liked Hitler.
