    Why is literally everyone on earth except for a select few freethinkers blindly dickriding Hitler? It can’t even be that they can’t help it, I think they just want Hitler to be right so badly because they know Hitler’s wrong, and there’s some weird appeal to being the bad guy for most people.

    I’m dumb and I will never understand human psychology.

    It feels like the media is framing the context of what he said as if this was an accident. This on Friday happened at a private music performance in Vegas which was streamed to Instagram. This monologue was not an accident or spontaneous, it was very deliberate and maybe even planned.

    About a week ago, Kanye launched his own “news” website called Yews.news. If you visit the website, it’s at your own risk. I’m not sure if it’s Kanye making the posts on this website or someone else. Kanye posted the website on his own twitter profile. About 2-3 times a day, somebody is posting to the website a batch new news articles with added context from Kanye’s perspective. However it’s like not even a real news site. The format is that each article has a title, a gothic/black-metal art image, a description of Kanyes opinion about a news article, and a link to another news website.

    There have been at least 2 posts on Yews about the rant, if you call it that. On his website, Kanye calls it a “powerful speech” and a “sermon”. Kanye is referring to the rant as if it was a planned and deliberate speech.

    This is a screenshot from Yews last night, December 16 8PM pacific. In the article, it says that Kanye has invoked Hitler at his “sermon” in Vegas. It says that the media is comparing Trump to Hitler. The article says that it wishes that people will interpret comparisons between Trump and Hitler fondly. This is Kanye’s website saying Trump and Hitler are both positive figures to be admired and that comparing them should bring positive emotions.

    Kanye is a fascist. It’s undeniable. Kanye stans are clowns.

    You ever think about how, because anti-zionism is defined by the US government as antisemitism, they layman has to check whether the guy who likes Hitler is hating on the same shitheads we do or whether he’s targeting Jewish people for their inheritance (how they were born)?

    Kanye is a performance artist, and I would believe you if you told me that he shocked a crowd of neo-nazis with an anti-Semitic rant, in which one onlooker was quoted as saying “I didn’t think such heights were possible, we have a lot to learn from Kanye.”
