    I don’t think this is a case a of real politics. He’s just …I don’t know the right word or the politically correct word…

      Kanye has legit bipolar I or schizoaffective disorder. There was a moment after his mother passed where the guy’s entire personality changed and his thoughts became really disorganized, which was likely the first episode of whatever he’s still dealing with. My point is you’re correct, Kanye’s not approaching this as a coherent ideology

        I do not buy that he wasn’t always a nazi, just that when he takes his meds he remembers he has to hide being a nazi becuase it costs him money. This is another example of him going back on his meds and realizing he just made it harder for himself to earn money, again. His mom was someone who actually tried to look after him and make sure he took his meds, rather than trying to bilk him for every penny.

          You can watch “Jeen-yuhs” and see for yourself. Kanye became a different person at a clear point during that documentary. The person saying these things today is not the same person who said “George Bush hates black people.” Kanye’s never had a very good filter, and there’s no way back in the day he was some “secret Nazi” lmao

        I’m Bipolar II and I’ve never once accidentally said “Man I sure do love Nazis” or put official merch of a Swastika.

        Sure he’s crazy, but bipolar doesn’t explain it.

          If you’re bipolar II, then you’ve never had a manic episode. People in a severe manic episode (bipolar I) very commonly experience psychosis and go down conspiratorial rabbit holes around politics, race, religion, etc. that they 100% would not have otherwise gone down

        At this point, I no longer care. It doesn’t matter how legitimate his excuses may be. He’s spread and popularized enough hatred that I don’t think he deserves sympathy anymore.

        Nah, his mom was the one making sure he took his meds.
