Can we talk about how Kanye hasn't been cancelled by the general public after his Alex Jones interview? (hexbear.net)

Just a year after this happened and it seems like everybody has forgotten about it. Yea he lost his adidas partnership but nowadays, he's been a welcomed surprise guest at Travis shows, I'm hearing his songs being popped off on in clubs and parties, and he's been going viral on TikTok with tons of praise and no criticism or mention of him being a Nazi in the comments

Is it Americans having the memory of a goldfish? Americans not really hating Hitler/Nazis/anti-semitism that much? Kanye's music is just too good to ignore? Americans just loving to deepthroat and worship anybody that's famous?

Every wealthy person is a mass murderer

So every single popular musician, actor, artist, author, athlete, etc. is a mass murderer, right lol

If you have millions of dollars like T Swift and Kanye and you dont do good things with it youre a murderer, I agree with this. You dont get a capitalist pass just because you sing a song

Literally yes. You need to reach a level of wealth where you could build systems to address poverty. Not super common with artists, but Kanye and Beyonce and Taylor Swift etc have all reached it.
