Is that some kind of speed run record?

For people not doing a ban evasion, who had a previous account?

These damn Nazis need to be deported to El Salvador.

Kanye West opened the gates at Kvatch, starting the Oblivion crisis.

Now the fact that he did Graduation is no longer said to exculpate his madness, but with resignation and shame. "This... guy is the same who made my favorite album..."

average Kanye moment

Even his speach sounds like schizophrenia. My bio father is schizophrenic and he also.talks about how everyone is tryng to.fuck.with him.

If this.man was screaming in the midle of a street like a homelesa.person everyone would see the mental.health problem, but since he is rich....

How did all those periods sneak into your post?

Probably a mobile keyboard.

I've only ever seen his tweets and people quoting him in articles but watching him speak for 7 minutes is eye opening. I cannot follow a single thing he says. It's just a non-stop stream of consciousness rambling with an occasional "hail hilter" and "I sucked my cousin's dick".

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

It's so weird seeing this guy in 2025. He seems like some zombie wearing a Kanye skin and using his voice. No longer the person we used to get hyped for. Eerie.

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

Man idek what this guy is saying. Some tidbits here and there, paris hilton, netanyahu, elon musk, some hitler stuff.

I don't understand how there can be black people in favor of Hitler. How do they rationalize praising someone who would have genocided them?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's not unheard of. There were even Jews for Hitler

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago (7 children)

In the case of Kanye... fell astoundingly far down the antisemitic conspiracy rabbit hole.

Before he went turbo-mega-ultra Hitler fanbo1 on Alex Jones... he was saying a lot of shit about how the entire entertainment industry was run by a cabal of Jews who secretly fucked over himself and other black artists in particular.

... He completely lost his mind in this process and has arguably been having the world's longest sustained, continuous, psychotic break (I think he's been far more obviously just unhinged bonkers for longer than Elon?).

He legitimately hated and hates Jews so much that the actual Hitler stuff came afterward.

How does he rationalize that Hitler would absolutely have killed every Black or African descended person he could, that he switched from being inspired by American rascism to calling the US a 'mongrelized' people, because of American society's multiracial makeup, interracial marriage etc?

Easy: He's completely insane and legitimately should be in a room with padded walls.

Logic? Reason?

404 error.

...

Have you ever tried to convince an unmedicated, manic schizophrenic that... the things they are saying just fundamentally do not make sense, at a basic grammatical level, that their mind invents things that did not happen?

Yeah, doesn't go so well.

Mental illness.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I wish that was the only part about him that didn't make sense

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's mentally unwell, that's how.

Basically, cognitive dissonance. They simply refuse to believe the truth, and make up their own fantasies in which everything is backwards from reality. It makes them feel like they have some power over their life, and/or that they're special.

99% of the time people like this are just deeply freaked out at the idea of a cold uncaring universe with nobody in control.

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

theres racist black people 🤷 This is just that but more extreme

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

But usually racists are racist towards some other group of people, not themselves.

some people are breathtakingly stupid and mental illness is complicated, idk what to tell you fam

You think we’ll be using trains?

Why not, it worked the first time around. If it ain't broken...

To be honest, I'm actually really surprised we're using planes and not trains, buses and ships

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

I think ICE uses planes.

Yeah, good idea, we can even make long lines of them in a well-organized convoy. Maybe the ones in front and back can control the ones in the middle.

Then to make sure they stay in formation, we can physically link them together, but with a bit of slack to turn and such.

In fact, we could even make special roads for these convoys so they get maximum fuel efficiency while also preventing them from accidentally drifting off of it. These roads would be exclusively used by these tesla convoys.

When these roads have to intersect with normal ones, we will give the convoys right of way, with some sort of movable barrier blocking the other cars from crossing.

Yeah, this idea is shaping up. Imagine all the people and cargo we could move with this hyper-efficient system.

dude went full adam something

Can we have levers which toggle which direction the group of vehicles travel on? We could then rest people on different paths and have their loved ones make life altering decisions by choosing to pull or push the lever.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You know, if we made individual cars larger so they could hold more people or cargo, this idea could get really efficient!

Aaand he's off his meds again.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Was he ever on them, in recent years?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Not since his mom died.

You can see a very tangible drop in cognition around the production and release of The Life of Pablo. Pretty sure he's been unmedicated since then.
