And that’s basically it!
I couldn't have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC
Harambee was our anchor being. Everything's been fraying at the edges since that day.
We had a second chance with Peanut the Squirrel. We fucked it up again.
The world really ended in 2012. We're living through the blooper reel.
This dude is off the fucking rails, batshit insane.
And what's sad is that he's wealthier than everyone that uses lemmy, combined.
Why the fuck does good shit always happen to bad people, and good people always get shit on?
At least you're not a black Nazi, bud. Money doesn't equal happiness. I bet he's miserable.
Money does, however, buy security. Money would solve all of my worst problems and make the other ones easier to handle. We don’t need a lot, but sure as hell need more than we have now and people like him don’t deserve a damn fucking cent(besides any universal social programs because that’s what universal means and I ain’t gunna be that guy).
Money doesn’t buy happiness, but a lack of money is sure to bring unhappiness.
It can’t buy happiness but it can pay off my unhappiness debt.
Probably not a popular opinion around here, but this is actually one of the rare cases where he is (was) extremely talented at his main thing (producing). That doesn't mean he deserves that disproportionate amount of wealth, but he's contributed more to culture than elon ever could.
You don't get wealthy if you're good, because it takes a certain amount of greed and materialism
He knows he's black, right?
He's "one of the good ones" and rich so he's all good.
That's always worked out in the past.
What's insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I'm sure someone at FOX will say "We had no idea he would put this on his site", which we'll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.
At least the next Superbowl halftime show is going to be interesting:
Guys, just because he went on Alex Jones to make racist jokes and talk about how much he loves Hitler doesn't mean he's a nazi
Do we know when the website was changed? He could well have changed it the moment the advert went live.
I was on his website yesterday and there was no swastika then. There was "white lives matter" and a bunch of nazi-adjacent symbols with plausible deniability but no outright swastika.
ADL easily calls out this symbol as one “adopted by Hitler as the primary emblem of the Nazis,” but can’t say the same about an extremely recognizable salute also adopted by Hitler as a primary symbol of the Nazis.
The ADL is a zionist organization that was literally founded to protect a pedophile and child rapist who was, with no relevance to those actions whatsoever, Jewish. Do not take any of their "stances" as being for social justice.
If you see someone wearing that shirt, it is only right to deck them in the temple
Does this mean whatever payment processing center is used for his site is also pro, whatever this is?
It's shopify, which requires an account to report. So if anyone has a shopify account, please do the needful. Can probably be considered a threat of violence or terrorist organization, or both.
I have an account.
When I tried to report it as terrorist organization, the form gets stuck in a redirect loop. It's broken.
Threat of violence worked but I needed to provide my full name, phone number and address which felt pretty shit.
lol what the fuck is going on in America?
Sometimes when someone tells you who they are, you should just believe them.
Oh stop it you stupid leftys.
Maybe he just like the design of it.
Maybe he's autistic.
Anyway no need to start calling everyone nazis.
/s **** it's a joke**** please everyone be aware that I'm joking** Sorry but I need this to be crystal clear, it's a long story. Sad to see that the dude's in this state. He clearly needs psychiatric care, not a platform from which to yell his absurdities.
*NazYe
One cannot help but notice that NBC is directing viewers to said website rather than other websites that are not owned by Kanye West and are not selling swastika T-shirts, which probably have a harder time getting potential customers to show up. I see that they also have pricing information and product photos.
One imagines that social media and similar probably also is directing a lot of people there.
This does suggest that West might be onto something.
In a world where people and organizations didn't discuss and link to the product, he might not have the same incentive.
GOOD! Let assholes put a literal target on their chest. I'm fine with this. Fuck me, I should start selling Nazi merchandise so I can track them.
It's like a Mel Brooks movie! The guy in charge standing with his nose in the air, says something that any normal person would think is dumb as hell. And all the "yes men" are like "Bravo!" "Bully!" "Good show!" "Excellent!"
This goes for the orange man and X dork as well...
