You mean yet another antisemitic stuff from this person...i lost count of the thigs he did so far.

Burke told the ABC's Afternoon Briefing that the musician, who goes by Ye, had a valid visa cancelled by officials in his department after releasing a song titled Heil Hitler.

Yeah...

Hooray for an actually correct understanding of what Anti-Semitism is!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Sweet. Hopefully this means we will deny Musk and Trump and all the rest of them too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Unfortunately, turning away Trump would have far greater diplomatic repercussions that I just don't see Albanese risking. Trump could pull America's embassy stuff, or enact further tariffs or sanctions. If Albanese wasn't ready to condemn (or at least not congratulate) the Iran strikes then he's not going to be ready to deny Trump entry while he's head of state.

Musk, on the other hand, well if we denied Kanye entry then we better fluffing deny him too. It's not like it wouldn't clearly be a well supported move considering we've had one of the greatest drops in Tesla sales YoY globally.

Completely separate from the anti-Semitism, the song itself is pretty awful. How can someone with so many bangers fall so far.

the song itself is pretty awful.
Par for the course
How can someone with so many bangers fall so far.
The mf has no fucking bangers if he was reduced to forcing games to play it in the background through non diagetic sound.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Not true, Kanye's back catalogue is amazing. Anything before Yeezus was gold. It's been hit and miss since then.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Get real, he has always sucked.

Edit: the point of sampling is to elevate and curate hidden gems. In power, he took the well known gold that is 21st century schizoid man and somehow turned it to scum.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

music in the background through non diagetic sound.

I had to look it up but it seems to me you are simply referring to background music.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 14 hours ago

yeah, to differenciate it from being on the radio in the game, which is more usual for open world games.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

it's a common term in media analysis

Untreated mental illness

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

If you call an album Ballocaust , you might need to expect a little controversy at least.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Hey OP, I noticed at the bottom of the article it credits that it's a republishing of the original article by ABC. Always good to link upstream if you notice that happening, for example the upstream article might notice a mistake and correct it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah I agree. Using the upstream source also helps keep the canonical URL so cross-posts and reposts can automatically be detected to show users where conversations about the topic may have already happened.

"Antisemitic song" is rather understating things...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

"i aint no anti-semite-semite"-

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 day ago

On the other hand, I enjoy finally seeing a correct use of the word "antisemitic" by ABC News.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I never knew you can get denied entry for being a bigot.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Canadian here, since we have similar laws. You have to be a real extreme bigot to be banned entry on that alone. I mean you have to be the type of idiot who would publicly declare himself a Nazi and a racist, like in a song or something.

Americans are always uncomfortable with Canadian hate speech laws. But 99% of us don’t ever have to worry about them, because 99% of us aren’t running around calling ourselves nazis and asking for the extermination of an ethnic minority.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago

also in a time like this where anyone can be called an anti-semite just for criticizing israel, western countries are actually touchy/. he might have better luck in a asian country.

oh okay thank you, Good to know.

If only he could be denied entry back...

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Dude does anything for a spotlight so even this hitting news is a positive validating his relevancy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago

shouldve taken his meds, which he now refuses to do.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have never been a fan but I feel like it's a lot deeper than just craving attention. The dude has serious unchecked mental problems.

"Source": My best friend has bipolar and we lived together during many episodes - the similarity is uncanny, minus the bigoted stuff

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

He was diagnosed with bipolar but has recently said he was misdiagnosed and instead has been rediagnosed with autism.

A grain of salt, but there appears to be something under the salt nonetheless.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

this doesnt look like AUTISM which isnt one symptom or a group of other defecits, it sounds more like BPD with highs and lows, his highs being creative with music but his lows, depression his spiraling towards nazism.

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

He also said he doesn't believe the first diagnosis because the doctor is Jewish

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

Whatever. Fuck him, good for Australia 🥂

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 day ago

Excellent. He's a massive cunt.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 day ago

Good! Fuck that Nazi shithead
