I watched a few minutes on Rumble, but it was mostly just incoherent nonsense.

you don't say...

Kim must be at home thinking "I gotta raise this motherfucker's kids."

Just read the exchange. Not in a position to watch the clip right now. I still fail to see anything other than a guy with severe mental illness who's surrounded by sycophantic enablers.

Is he an actual antisemite? Maybe. But I know people who are paranoid schizophrenic and they've said things at their worst moments that aren't reflective of who they are.

Basically. It's just madness. Or a very expensive joke.

He was talking to Laura Loomer (Jewish and very cancelled) on there, but insisted it happen through his phone put up against the microphone? I dunno I went to get lunch after that.

[BurtReynolds]

To be fair, he did also say that he loved Mao Zedong and Jeffrey Dahmer, so I think he's going for some kind of "Jesus loves everyone" bullshit. Still filtered through a fog of insanity, though.

[Rangi Guy]

Does this mean that I now have to take that one Kanye song I liked off my playlist?

I can understand this.

Come on, man.

"I love Jews. Actually I don't care about them that much.”

"I don't care about Hitler. I love him. He seems like a cool guy, he had a really cool outfit, he was a cool architect. And he didn't kill 6 million Jews, that's factually incorrect.”

"I like Hitler. I'm not trying to be shocking. I like Hitler. The Holocaust is not what happened. Hitler has a lot of redeeming qualities."

Didn't he spend some time in person with Ye? Could he not tell how unwell he is?

This, to me, is the primary reason this is worth discussing at all. A lot of people who have spent time with the man recently have been very comfortable propping him up as a useful political ally. It’s pretty hard to believe, as loudly as he was saying this stuff today, that he didn’t say anything straight up fucked while meeting with any of these folks who went on to say flattering things….or promote him as a part of a shared ideology.

There is cynical opportunism at the heart of any act of enabling, and at least some of the cynical opportunism affecting Kanye’s life has taking the form of people very clearly covering for him because they found his association useful to their ideological ambitions. What happened today exposes the severity of language they were willing to turn a blind eye to, in the name of immediate gain.

Kanye and his white nationalism is making me think he wants to be Clayton Bigsby when he grows up.

There's more than one hue of nationalism.

For Milo and Nick Fuentes, they basically have nothing to lose so a gamble made sense as there might be an upside. Those closer to respectability like Tim Pool - what was the calculation there?

[BurtReynolds]

I heard a rumour that there was a blow up between him and Trump at their meeting. He left Pool before they could talk about it, but I wonder what happened there.

Even while wearing a White Lives Matter shirt?

Ye contains multitudes. Clearly partially inspired by the Black Hebrew Israelites.

[Ello Sailor]

Ye's low point keeps plummeting. If he weren't legitimately insane this might even be funny.
