R/Kanye subreddit turns into a holocaust awareness subreddit and that's fantastic

Its never a good idea to ideolize famous people.
I like famous people for their art(Pele, R9, michael jackson), but I would never twerk for them or ideolize them. There is a line between liking their art vs ideolizing them.

Let this be a lesson to you fellas.

All my grandparents have gone through the Holocaust losing most of their family members, I have none left. I don't know the stories from my father's side, they never wanted to talk about it. My grandma who fled to Uruguay said she was born there, she had a number tattooed on her arm. My grandfather from my mother side woke up screaming every night, and I know, I stayed with them for a week when my parents were abroad. He was in Mauthausen.

There was nothing good about this, nothing good about Nazis, and I hope to see more stories making sure that people know that. Never forget.

Even dumber is how so many celebs air out their views as if they are god's gift to world politics. But then again, if it boosts their ego and makes them click money they might as well do it because millions of people drool over them.

Case in point, how Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor of California with zero experience over career politicians, who the hell knows. But popularity wins.

I'm genuinely curious what would happen if Kanye starts taking his meds again. From a sociological perspective, how much are we as a society able to let slide due to mental illness? It seems like Kanye has blown way past that.

oh there's a lot of it. kanye was also dressed up as snake eyes or something like that so people say it wasn't even him 🤡




 
Very sad. A true genius. His music will be listened to still in hundreds of years. Shame on the people encouraging and making money from all of this :(

holocaust was a lie, we should stop dissing nazis, he's a nazi & that he loves hitler.

even alex jones was shocked lol

I never follow this guy and the extent of my knowledge regarding the guy ala osmosis is that he's famous, makes music (I think), and says really dumb shit.

Is it at all possible that he's being facetious to drum up press? Nazis = evil is one of very few things that almost everyone agrees on. Or am I being naive?

No, none of this press is good.
He’s not really been all there since him mum died years ago. He’s always been on the edge and i think his divorce tipped him over and he’s fallen in with some really nasty people.

It's like when 16-year-olds get pleasure out of being controversial with face piercings and eating sushi. He is in that phase.

It's all about the jews, he's racist and hates them, and it translates into an interest in anti-jew people like hitler. It's incredibly disgusting, even Alex Jones should know not to have this on his show.

I really hope the fucking dupes on the right-wing media side in the states cut him off and stop giving him these interviews that are all over the place. They can't be this absurd. Especially since the U.S. fought against the nazis and lost many people, you would think the right side would oppose this harder just based on the national pride of their soldiers and history.

Being interviewed has exposed his ideas as being completely bananas. Keeping a lid on it would make them more dangerous and appealing.

Ok, just watched 30 seconds of the interview and the first he says is "we gotta stop dissing the nazis all the time, I don't like the word evil next to nazis". Even Alex Jones laughs.

What a fuck is wrong with this guy.

I'd say about everything. Mental illness? Sure..but I'm fairly certain he needs an intervention.

I don't buy that at all, everyone says this now, it's more dangerous to keep it "hidden". Sure, democracy only works if it allows idiots, but that doesn't mean that standard media like Fox News should interview anyone just because it's free speech, an organization got its own standards and conduct itself based on its own ideals. No media site interviews everyone because of free speech. Just like this site won't allow non-stop console warring.

The world is a considerably better place when media outlets keep a standard and won't interview hate leaders who hate jews or are radical muslims or communists or antifa. Society absolutely takes after the voices they hear.

It's insane how the media has given Kayne's nonsense a loud speaker, and he is a perfect example of why not all free speech is good as even Twitter now as come down on him a week after letting loose all the idiots again.
 
My great-grandfather was killed by Nazis, my grandparents had their names forcefully changed to German sounding ones during the occupation. So yeah, fuck Nazis.
The war and after-war generation taught me that the source of all this evil was the dehumanization of others. So sure, it's easy to dunk on Kanye for being such a dumbass, but it's quite obvious that he is not well.

Turning his reddit into a holocaust memorial is a meaningful way to voice one's concerns without shitting on a person that desperately needs help. Never cared about that guy, he is part of everything I deem wrong with the modern entertainment industry, but I hope he gets the help he needs and screw all the pundits who see this as an opportunity to score brownie points for their side.

When I was a kid, we had a Holocaust survivor talk to the entire school in the auditorium. I remember thinking at the time that it was kind of an odd speaker to have, but all these years later it's easy to see why it was so important.

I'm honestly glad he was removed. The free speech bar for private platforms should be lower than governments, or it just negatively effects everyone else's experience. The main thing is that the rules should be applied fairly to everyone, and I have no doubt that was true in this case.

I'd say about everything. Mental illness? Sure..but I'm fairly certain he needs an intervention.

Bipolar disorder is no joke, and he hasn't been properly medicated in a long while. It seems to have led him down a sad path full of distrust and paranoia. For someone who feels that everyone is out to get him, perhaps he can relate to other people who feel persecuted for their beliefs, and you'd find it difficult to find a belief more universally unacceptable than holocaust denial.

There’s finally someone crazier than Alex Jones. Holy shit.
Seriously. Watching Alex Jones awkwardly laugh off Kanye's ridiculousness was a pure spectacle.

Guy is clearly mentally ill, are we still allowed to use that term or is it offensive to the mentally ill now?
I live with a person who's had manic episodes every year for the last decade and a half. It's no joke. The delusions of grandeur and feelings of invincibility are real and destructive.

No one should be offended by the truth. Hopefully a high profile figure like Kanye finally opens some eyes.
