This is what mental illness looks like. I hope he gets the help he needs and not the enablers that might end his life :/

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 97 points 3 months ago

He may be mentally ill, but during these episodes he always goes to this Nazi shit. I think the mental illness just unmasks what he really feels.

[-] brognak@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

I mean at least he seems to realize in the full thread saying this shit is problematic, as opposed to just blurting it out completely unqualified per usual. Not making excuses, at the end of the day fuck Kanye, but this seems a very fine hair more sane than usual.

Maybe I am just reading into it weird, granted it's Ye so weird is the only way it can be read shrug

[-] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 56 points 3 months ago

Mental illness doesn't make people nazis, just like mental illness doesn't make people mass shooters, that's simply not how it works.

[-] Luci@lemmy.ca 24 points 3 months ago

Mental illness can make you susceptible to stuff like this

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Sure, he’s mentally ill, but that also doesn’t excuse being a nazi. It may explain it, but he still deserves to be punched in the mouth for it.

It’s also disingenuous and harmful to just use mental illness to attempt to dismiss it. People with mental illness already have a hard enough time living their lives without being compared to literal nazis.

Mental illness doesn’t magically make you a Nazi. Plenty of manic people just think they can fly, or make really nice art. But instead, this dude uses his platform to boost nazis.

[-] Katrisia@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Also, even if his mania turned him into a horrible person, it would be understandable that the first one was sudden and therefore not preventable, but this is like the second or third time he does this. So... what about his responsibility while stable to medicate and find ways to remain as stable as possible?

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 months ago

It's not mental illness, the guy is just a fucking Nazi. Fuck Kanye.

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

I mean, the dude is undeniably mentally ill, and he likely refuses to treat it because the meds make him feel “numb” and he makes music when he’s manic. But mania is on the same classification as schizophrenia, and comes with many of the same issues.

But yeah, in Kanye’s case he’s just a fucking Nazi who happens to have rampant untreated mental illness. The mental illness doesn’t excuse the Nazi bullshit.

[-] Actual_Idiot@midwest.social 42 points 3 months ago

His IQ is the same as his phone password

[-] mearce@programming.dev 10 points 3 months ago

Is his password common knowledge?

[-] dditty@lemm.ee 18 points 3 months ago

I think when Ye met with Trump in the oval office he unlocked his phone and his pin was 0000

[-] mearce@programming.dev 7 points 3 months ago

I had guessed it would be 0001 lol

[-] Muffi@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago
[-] ulterno@programming.dev 0 points 3 months ago

No way an iPhone has an 8 digit pin

[-] _lilith@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago

A normal well adjusted individual

[-] naeap@sopuli.xyz 28 points 3 months ago

What now?
Well now you're an idiot, bitch.

[-] ech@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago
[-] naeap@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 months ago

Nah, just answering his question

This idiot, as mentally disabled and a black, would have get gassed and burned in my country, while his favourite leader was active here

[-] wick@lemm.ee 26 points 3 months ago
[-] metaStatic@kbin.earth 11 points 3 months ago

How is "My wife's a bad bitch" further right that "I'm a Nazi" ?

[-] wick@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Idk, ask jreg

[-] __nobodynowhere@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago

None of those are leftist

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 22 points 3 months ago

There is just a failure mode with fame where in order to hold on it seems the plan is to just be as unignorable as possible.

[-] josie@vegantheoryclub.org 20 points 3 months ago

Whenever I listen to Kanye West I just think to myself "it sure is sad the guy died in 2017"

[-] Ascrod@midwest.social 20 points 3 months ago

This guy needs serioua help

Whether that help is medication and therapy or a long walk off a short pier I can't say.

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I was about to say the same. Kanye is clearly going through emotional cascades that he doesn't know how to handle, especially after him and his wife divorced.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah, and if he turns around there's room for a sort of reconciliation but also I've gone through trauma and have mental illness as have many of my friends, none of us became nazis

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

People going through emotional whirlwind and depression are more susceptible to brainwashing. Some vulnerable people fall for it, others don't.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

True, but forgive me for reserving my empathy for until he decides to change.

[-] archomrade@midwest.social 20 points 3 months ago

Ok but can we at least appreciate that he did this in the funniest possible fashion?

NOW WHAT BITCHES

[-] guaraguaito 13 points 3 months ago

Is he trying to be edgy or someshit? Ion get him.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 3 months ago

Nah, dude is just off his meds again.

[-] Goodtoknow@lemmy.ca 17 points 3 months ago

Trying to join US administration

[-] Cistello@reddthat.com 8 points 3 months ago

He spent the last 12 hours constantly posting this stuff on Twitter

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 3 points 3 months ago

That's a manic episode. Unfortunately, I've known people of various hues who held Nazi ideology. Then there are supremacists of all nationalities and hues.

I think we are all just people with our own sets of challenges. Marginalization/shunning doesn't prevent this. Opportunities to care for oneself do.

[-] prole 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Marginalization/shunning doesn’t prevent this.

It is literally the only thing that works against Nazis/fascists besides violence. This is just the "paradox of tolerance" being taken too far. These people do not deserve to have their hateful ideology legitimized. It needs to be made known that there is no place in modern society for them, so long as they choose to support or espouse that ideology.

I am all for acceptance. Which is exactly why I understand that these people are not compatible with a society that is accepting.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 3 months ago

I mean mental illness. I'm not sure if his contributes to that, unless he has schizophrenia or mpd.

[-] prole 2 points 3 months ago

Sure, the mental illness should be treated. But it doesn't excuse or explain the Nazi shit.

[-] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 9 points 3 months ago

Who is he talking to? What money? Every time he pops up, I have no idea wtf he is even on about. At the end of the day, I guess the only pertinent information is that he is a nazi. A very strange and confused nazi, but I suppose they all are.

[-] UraniumBlazer@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

I really hope he gets help for whatever mental issues he's going through (I do not mean this is a malicious way fr)

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 6 points 3 months ago

OK so hear me out.

I'm not that into celebrities, especially those who think self aggrandizement is essential to their personalities after they make it big.....so...

that being said I just realized P Diddy and Kanye were 2 different people.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 3 months ago

Diddy killed Tupac and rapes people.

Kanye is a Nazi.

Now you know the difference.

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 3 months ago

great....now my head cannon is that Kanye Diddy, the Nazi, raped tupac

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Oh no, does nick Fuentes also love Hitler? Ye has been openly a nazi for years. It's sad but yeah

[-] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

But what would Ja Rule say cause Kanye about to move into his studio apartment.

[-] Bali@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Could be snippets of lyrics from his new album? just like he did with The Life of Pablo.
