Can't see a Kanye thread - if he wasn't finished already, today's the last straw, surely?

Just that really

Sad that a man with his talent in music, producing and fashion design could be so monumentally stupid.

This is it for him now and there is no way back. Good.

I feel for his kids.

Because it's owned and hosted by someone who's just the same, if not much worse than all of them, Elon Musk. He wanted to be free to tweet his racist, etc posts in peace and allow/bring back everyone who was "silenced" because of it so he bought a huge platform. They're posting these things and liking them openly because there's a popular open space for it now on Twitter/X.

Now he's 'First Friends' with president Trump whom he brought back to Twitter/X after being banned from it, so of course they're untouchable. It's why he (Elon) was emboldened to make his first sly, awkward "accidental" nazi salute out in the open for the world to see.

I saw a Radio 4 comedian refer to him as Trump’s First Lady, from now on to be known as Elonia 😆

It wasn't that sly or awkward though, and then he tweeted jokes about it.

The only saving grace is that his audience didn't salute back.

Jasmine Crockett, the Democratic Representative for Texas, referred to them as the King and Queen and said you can decide which is which 😆

It was enough for many people to argue about it not being a nazi salute. Perhaps he meant it to look 'ambiguous' enough to be denied if there was pushback. So much so that the ADL defended him but it backfired on them when he made nazi-themed jokes as an apology or whatever that was.

I’d hardly say he has a talent in fashion design! 🤣

Haha! The way he suddenly became visibly political like a right-hand man for Trump was weird. He probably would have wanted to be the VP if he didn't want to just pull the strings from the outside and do no actual work (whatever they do). I wonder if he gets on with JD Vance, who creeps me out, by the way. Just something about him, I find extremely chilling.

Moonlightdust · 07/02/2025 22:34

He is an utterly vile specimen and has sunk even lower if that was at all possible.

Not that ambiguous!

Vitriolinsanity · 08/02/2025 00:04

You'd think we can agree he's totally Radio Rental, but if that is the case who the duck are his 2 billion followers?!!

Ladamesansmerci · 08/02/2025 00:06

Tbh, I'm a mental health nurse, and I always get the impression he's unwell. He comes across like someone with mania at times.

X is that bad these days that his posts didn't even seem that shocking to me - you only have to spend 5 minutes on there to see even worse. This week I've seen posts calling for Palestinian babies to be raped - celebrating the death of children if they're on the wrong 'side' -posts from both sides calling each other rats that need to be exterminated.

I suspect a lot of these posts are done by agitators trying to garner support for their cause by posing as the opposition and writing really despicable shit. In fact I think a lot of X accounts are just agitators - it's a depressing place to scroll.

Kanye is small fry in comparison, he's just an arrogant overgrown toddler wanting attention - there's lots of them on there unfortunately.

Devianinc · 08/02/2025 01:46

He doesn’t deserve anyone’s attention. The sooner people don’t mention him the better.

Wonderberry · 08/02/2025 01:52

In case anyone is reading this and is unclear what he has done, he has posted a lot of blatantly anti-semitic statements.

I'm shocked at the lack of outcry regarding this.

Wonderberry · 08/02/2025 01:56

In this thread, while many people seem to be rightfully concerned about his posts, few seem to recognise or be willing to denounce the Anti-Semitism unfortunately. Reading it, it is clear what it is. He specifically says Jews many times, together with anti-semitic statements I will not repeat.

Well, exactly this? The man is worth $$$$ but he's mentally unwell. He's stated that himself, then retracted it. Cos he's mentally unwell 🙄

Mental health is a leveler no matter if you're rich or poor. Just because he states "I'm sane! And white!"... I'm pretty sure we can say he's not white, any more than agreeing he's actually a Nazi advocate, or hating Jewish folk, or saying rain water is illegal. Or whatever he's spouting today?...

The man is unwell. Clinically unwell. He's not served by having the money for not being Sectioned.

Devianinc · 08/02/2025 02:03

Ignore him

Poppyseeds79 · 08/02/2025 02:04

Devianinc · 08/02/2025 02:03

Ignore him

Why?

Devianinc · 08/02/2025 02:13

Because he’s nobody. Why are people making him something. He’s only something to himself.

Devianinc · 08/02/2025 02:13

His merchandise is worthless in the usa

He's worth nearly 3 million, are you?

He's not a big fat nobody. Hence folk comment 😅

Devianinc · 08/02/2025 02:16

Yup

Devianinc · 08/02/2025 02:18

Actually he’s worth a hell of a lot more than that but if people ignore him he won’t be. Hes crazy

Poppyseeds79 · 08/02/2025 02:24

Do you know what's really sad? ... That people obviously really mentally unwell in society, can be laughed at, mocked, and have the piss taken vs getting actual medical help. Because they're rich... kayne might be seriously nipped, but he's still a human being.

Devianinc · 08/02/2025 02:27

His people who take care of him know what’s going on. You know what, I hope that what happened with p diddy and all those other rappers that are going down take him with them.
