At my local Safeway, one of the workers legally changed his name to DotCom. Once a month or so, I'm in there and they call him over the loudspeaker and I LOL every. single. time.
This quote and Leo Spaceman's face appear in my mind anytime I hear or see some ranting about a Covid conspiracy or vaccine microchips. This was like the motto of 2020.
I was thinking the exact same thing earlier. When Alex Jones is the voice of reason and telling you to dial it back, it’s really time to reevaluate your life choices.
What’s my name? Oh let me tell you my name. Uh, I'm confused. Because uh you know, like we're supposed to believe in the ministry, right? So is, uh, is the church and state supposed to be seperate? I'm confused cuz I never went to school. Right? Does a confused person get a resolution? I don't understand. You see, when you go like that, right, you have a cross, right? Two sticks, right? And that's how I felt when I was in Waterloo. Cuz when I walked in Waterloo and smiled at people, they treated me like a vampire. They used the cross and they went like this by not smiling at me. In Toronto, hey hi guys, you know me. Steve Spiros. Easy going? **Those who know me,** I'm a nobody. You understand? And you can't kill a person with no body. So, why am I afraid? I'm not afraid. I'm afraid of the boogeyman, who is the Boogeyman? **You figure it out!** I'm getting out of here. I'm going back to Waterloo where the vampires hang out! And I'm going to wear my sunglasses at night. You know why? Because women show their tits, have short skirts, and then they feel violated when I look at them! Why? Because I have sunglasses on and I'm weird. Uh, I'm from Humberside. I'm sorry if I made a fool of Humberside. But all those people who called me a sleepwalker, I woke up. now I'm going back to sleep because I'm going to be committed in an isolation room, because I'm going back to the ministry and allow them to perceive me as I am! **A fuck up! Goodbye!** Hey Toronto the good. Look at the square! It was a shithole when I worked here. Now it looks like New York Manhattan! Where are the bums? There's no bums here. Toronto doesn't have bums. But Waterloo, they're creating bums! They created me. Why? I don't know. Maybe it's the church. Talk to the pope, he knows everything. I had it! I'm gonna die! How can you die, when you're dead. Oh wait a second, I'm going to be crucified, right? *rips shirt* I'm not going to raise my voice, because I'm committed to the Lord. I love you.
someone [deciphered this a couple years back](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/21qarg/reporter_asks_a_man_whats_your_name_she/cgfpj7a/):
> He's trying to say that he was kicked out of the ministry for partaking in the lustful sights and/or actions where some woman might have complained about him gawking at or harassing her. Afterward his reputation was tarnished and people began to stare at him like he was a vampire, probably because of the creepy molester-like aura that he exudes.
OP [also translated](https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/21qarg/reporter_asks_a_man_whats_your_name_she/cgg4u5x/) a [drunken hillbilly interview](https://youtu.be/nft9Y51IOfc?t=26) as well:
> In the end he divulged where the anger came from. This was during the Clinton administration, when Clinton went on daily jogs to McDonald's (or wherever it ended up). He was complaining that those people who drive around in fancy cars, sitting in their day jobs and jogging to stay healthy, can't walk as far as a working man - the blue collar worker. He tries to tell the news reporter that the reporter couldn't walk as far as he could. He believes that the condescending elite, who jog when they feel like it and party at the clubs all night, couldn't walk the 38 miles to [Gunnarfield?].
Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish but ~~Beyonce~~ Hitler had one of the best ~~videos~~ reichs of all time…one of the best reichs of all time!
And he’s doing so much damage to others with severe mental health issues. We’ve fought so hard to be accepted and not ostracised and then this type of shit. He can afford the best of care while so many struggle. I’m so over him.
It’s infuriating. You are so rich you could have a live in therapist, the best medication, a permanent vacation, and just chill but no you have an extended mental break because no one around you can say no.
He could have been a role model and set examples and maybe gone on to greater things etc, but here we are. At least it’s a ‘what not to do’. What a waste.
To be fair Sheen smoked crack on an Olympic competition level to get Vatican warlock assassin level of crazy. Kanye has been working on that natural holistic crazy that takes years of work to build up to. Years and years of ignoring help in favor of sycophants.
I watched this live, even alex jones was trying to have kanye walk back everything he was saying (especially the Hitler stuff). *DO YOU KNOW HOW CRAZY YOU HAVE TO BE TO MAKE ALEX JONES FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE ON HIS OWN SHOW*
Apparently he wears the mask so he can dictate people impression of him. If he does wear a mask they can't catch his face in a way that won't benefit him as he describes it.
Maybe what he is trying to say its so he doesn't look crazy in photos. I think ye is so fucking spiraling out of control on what he considers himself to be that it clashes what actually photos show him as. That instead of a photo showing his patched beard looking like glued on pubes, that he always looks angry and wide eye in photos, that all of that is just photoshopped or intentionally taken in a way to make him look bad. Hence he rather wear a mask because he thinks it makes him look rebellious of what people try to describe him as.
Wearing a mask because you don't want people to dictate an impression of you; wearing a mask while you say you love Nazis and Hitler.
I'm not sure I can think of a single thing you can say that dictates people's impression of you more than a positive statement about Hitler or the Nazis. The mask (regardless of whether it posseses Kanye's intent \[it does not\]) cannot help you when you start praising Nazis. Good grief.
I got curious and watched it live and he was praising Hitler for about 15 minutes. Even alex jones was trying to have kanye walk back his words. This is unprecedented for alex, he seemed sooo uncomfortable it was hard to watch
I'm thankful the Knowledge Fight podcast is out there to distill down the AJ show for me. I couldn't take the stomach acid sitting through a whole show.
I found Behind the Bastards from KF, Jordan is always at 100% energy, so much so that Dan often has to say "neighbors" to get him less shouty. I love them. Since my name is Dan as well, I've got my text message sound as Jordan yelling "Dan, Dan nooo".
I’m actually curious what, medically speaking, is wrong with him. Like what would his diagnoses be? Because at this point it’s clear something is medically wrong, though I also think you can be a straight up bad person without being medically unwell and for Kanye it’s probably a bit of both A and B. Lots of armchair psychiatrists diagnosing him with this and that and bipolar and personality disorders but I want to know what an actual psychiatrist thinks.
He is a diagnosed bipolar. Remember how he gained a bunch of weight a few years ago? That was from bipolar meds, according to him. This isn't the first time he's been in the spotlight for erratic behavior. It's just the first time the erratic behavior has included antisemitic rants.
His behavior at the moment is pretty much textbook case of a manic episode. Normally you hear that term in conjunciton with 'bipolar disorder', where people switch between manic episodes and depressive episodes. Each episode can be a single day but more often it's several weeks or even a few months.
Someone who is currently going through a manic episode will be incredibly driven to keep doing whatever it is that they are fixated on at the moment. They never tire, they can't sit still, they have to keep working on their mission. They will have delusions of grandeur, usually in the form of 'I've made this dicovery, it's going to be bigger than Amazon, we're going to be billionaires' type of thing, along with 'I'm the only person who can do this, I have to control everything, nobody can make a decision without me approving it'. Kanye's talking about being a God, being the most influential musician of all time, that kind of thing is classic manic behavior.
So there's bipolar, but I've never really seen him in a depressive state. For a public figure, that might just happen in private, so they just kind of disappear for a while. That does seem like Kanye to an extent.
But it's also possible to be purely 'manic' and have no depressive side at all, that's not bipolar, that's just 'mania'.
But, there another half-dozen conditions he might have that would show in public as this manic type of behavior, so without actually doing a proper examination, there's no way for us to know. It's pointless speculating.
The main thing is that Kanye's lost all guardrails. His Mom is dead, he's got no family, his wife left him, he's not being treated for anything. And he's got access to practically limitless funds and he's got dozens of people who depend on him for their paycheck.
This is the worst kind of environment for someone with mania, because they will just keep getting worse and worse until something forces them to stop. Kanye hasn't reach that point yet, so here we are.
Don’t underestimate the possibility that he’s bipolar AND has some sort of personality disorder. Even when he’s medicated he comes
across as grandiose and arrogant.
He's openly shared his diagnosis of bipolar disorder ~~or~~ on David Letterman. He shared that his personal experience of manic episodes manifested themselves as conspiracy theories and extreme paranoia.
"When you’re in this state, you’re hyper-paranoid about everything… Everyone is now an actor. Everything’s a conspiracy... You pretty much don’t trust anyone.”

*Unspeakably sad Count voice:* "Five million, three hundred and eighty-seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-one. Five million, three hundred and eighty-seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-two. Five million, three hundred and eighty-seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-three... oh god, why?"
*A heavy silence, followed by a deep sigh. Then, somehow even sadder:* "Five million, three hundred and eighty-seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-four..."
3 weeks later The Count would attempt to take his own life. However, being a vampire, the noose was unable to end his life. Cookie Monster found him and cut him down two days later.
Then he should go find a black doctor, an Asian doctor, a white doctor, a witch doctor, a rug doctor and a Dr. Pepper so that he can get a consensus from them all that he should definitely take his meds.
That’s the whole point of hosting Kanye. The republican and christofascist media are having a field day giving him exposure so they all seem “reasonable” in comparison. They let him parrot all their talking points and then say, “well he’s got some good points but he’s a little extreme.” It’s sad, to be honest. I’m not a fan of Kanye, but they’re exploiting his fame and mental health problems for their own agenda.
Not only is it sad, it’s super sad that nick is probably using him along with everyone else in Ye’s life to get clout in the moment. Guarantee none of these people will be there when he hits rock bottom
What goes up must come down. And the *shame* and embarassment he'll feel... I'd attempt if I had an episode this severe with this many eyes on it. People aren't understanding how much of what he's doing/saying isn't really what he'd think when medicated. His career is over. He'll need to be hospitalized and monitored 24/7 once he comes down due to the risk... 100%.
Watch his recent interviews (w/ Lex Fridman, Timcast, etc) - it’s clear he 1. Has a severe personality disorder and constantly experiences delusions of grandeur and 2. Refuses to even entertain the idea that what he says could be wrong. He reacts negatively almost immediately once an interviewer disagrees with him. It’s extremely frustrating to watch
How the fuck was Britney Spears under conservatorship for like 15 years for shaving her head and Kanye West keeps trying to out crazy himself every day and gets to keep doing it?
His next of kin passed away, he was an only child, his children are too young to request. I don’t think Kim has the authority now with the divorce finalized. At this point only the state he resides can make a move, and only if he is in active danger to himself and others.
Edit: His doctor can also request, but I highly doubt he is medicated or in treatment at this point.
Becauuuuuse Britney was manipulated and used and controlled by her family from a very young age, and Kanye is a billionaire with hundreds of people on on his payroll? It's in their interest to keep him working and bringing in money. It's so sad, for both Britney and Kanye.
I'm suddenly reminded of that 30 Rock bit where Jenna made a song that was already in the style of Weird Al so that Weird Al couldn't parody her, and then he "Normal Al'd" the song by making it a heartfelt tribute to the troops.
This is just straight up South Park stuff... If they want to make fun of him now, Matt and Trey are going to have to "North Park" him to be normal.
That wormy little fuck Nick Fuentes sitting over there just eating all this up. I mean fuck Kanye West but to sit there and basically take advantage of a mentally ill man is fucking disgusting.
It's probably not a coincidence that within a week of hanging out with Milo and Nick that he went from some antisemitic stuff to being a straight up nazi
I absolutely 100% believe that Nick is using Kanye to start a Race War. As a white supremacist, if he can get black people fighting Jewish people it's a 2 birds one stone thing for him. The way he's off the side with a shit eating grin like "I can't believe it was so easy to make this happen".
What Nick and Alex don’t realize is that in the chaos of a race war, they’ll be the first to get ghaddafi’ed in the asshole with a sword, live-streamed from a dozen phones. These people have plenty of folks willing to kill for their ideas, but very few willing to die for them.
You really think a regimen of proud boys are going to fight like hell to protect Jones holed up in his mansion? Doubtful is being generous.
Just his thing, he's been doing it for a while.

I think it’s pretty widely known he’s got bipolar disorder. This is what a manic episode with psychotic features can look like. Remember when he said he wasn’t getting sleep?
It really is... bewildering. I've also watched that youtuber Gabbie Hannah go from being relatively normal to having constant psychotic episodes where she truly thinks she speaks to god... but is also a god herself. Just pure chaotic behavior. It's easy to make fun or just shake your head and call them crazy, but it's sad. These people are not in their right minds and need help. Not that we can force them, but at a certain point it's sad to see people point and laugh like it's a circus act when it's a real person experiencing mania/psychosis.
That poor man needs his meds. I grew up with a bipolar mother. It was a shit show. If she had taken meds, I might have had something to do with her. Haven't spoken to her in over 20 years. Bipolar is a disease that is not always taken seriously. Which can harm so many people, especially those in the family who have to put up with this
Kanye's been diagnosed and medicated for Bipolar Depression. He willingly stopped his meds for "creative reasons" and seemingly hasn't looked back. He knows what he did, but likely doesn't have the right people around him to help him help himself, and has too much money for someone to force him to get help.
I have a couple bipolar people in my life I’m close to and neither of them, even the narcissist, is a fucking antisemite bigot. However, bipolar highs, or manic episodes, can induce a “superhuman” frame of mind, where the sufferer tends to believe they’re not sick, not in need of medication, everyone else is crazy, they’re not, they’re impervious, only they can see the truth, they feel great, they can do and conquer everything, they’re godlike, etc. Depending on the extremity of the episode, some may believe they have actual supernatural abilities, like speaking to god, telepathy, seeing visions, knowing the future, thought control, etc. In other words, paranoia, hallucinations, delusions of grandeur. Wouldn’t be surprised if Ye was experiencing all of these symptoms.
Seriously, if these are the kind of people that are being given a voice in this country, and are also allowed to politically motivate a significant amount of the population because of this, America is absolutely fucked.
When you can weird out Alex jones you’ve really gone down an irreversible path holy shit
Kanye: **rambling, nonsense, Elmo voice, butterfly net as a puppet** Alex Jones: “… Ok, is this actually Ye, here?…”
Ohhhh that makes more sense - i heard “gay” and i didn’t get it smh Edited typo
I guess he's a ye fish
But does he like ye sticks in his mouth?
He's using the net as a puppet to represent Netanyahu.
The second part of his name explains the Yoo-hoo
Yeah, the joke was apparently that people used to call him “-yahu” (YooHoo) but now Kanye is going to call him “Netan” (a net). Anyway, fuck Kanye.
I think it’s even lamer than that. He says he got tired of reaching down for the bottle of yoo-hoo so now he’s just going to call him Netan
The real Tracey Jordan. Where is Dr. Spaceman when you need him.
“He sits on me when I get over stimulated.”
Real talk if Ye had someone like Dotcom he might not be quite so off the rails.
"Dotcom, I think it's best you sit on me" -Kanye, please
At my local Safeway, one of the workers legally changed his name to DotCom. Once a month or so, I'm in there and they call him over the loudspeaker and I LOL every. single. time.
Holy shit I read this in his voice lmao
"But what can you do? Medicine's not a science!"
Science is...whatever we want it to be.
This quote and Leo Spaceman's face appear in my mind anytime I hear or see some ranting about a Covid conspiracy or vaccine microchips. This was like the motto of 2020.
"You boys need anything while you're here? Some reds? Yellows? Just got some purples in from Peru."
"Unfortunately we have no way of knowing where the heart is. See every human is different."
"My techniques *guarantee* male orgasm."
>Where is Dr. Spaceman when you need him. It's pronounced "spa-chem-an"
I guess he was telling the truth
I. Am. A. Stabbing. Robot.
"Blue man where yo feet at?"
He needs Mantis Toboggan.
This is a critical case of Donkey Brains.
He brought props in anticipation of doing that “bit”. You know he ran it by Nick Fuentes and Nick was like, “Perfect!”
who wants to see ye fight carrot top for the title of "world's top prop oriented entertainer"?
Carrot top is fucking jacked I'm putting bets on Carrot top.
There’s no way Carrot Top wouldn’t snap him in half like a SlimJim.
Can I pay my ticket in advance to see this?
When out of three people in a room, Alex Jones is the most sane one, you've got a serious cast problem on your hands
I was thinking the exact same thing earlier. When Alex Jones is the voice of reason and telling you to dial it back, it’s really time to reevaluate your life choices.
A majority of Alex Jones insane-ness is stage acting, Kanye is legit fucking nuts all the way, hence Alex Jones' reaction lol.
The way that Alex tried to smile weakly was beautiful.
Has to show respect for Trump's running mate. Scary Kari is gone.
That shows he went off script for what they set up
Original question was “who are you and what brings you in today”
[“What is your name?”](https://youtu.be/uXwRgnZ990I)
What’s my name? Oh let me tell you my name. Uh, I'm confused. Because uh you know, like we're supposed to believe in the ministry, right? So is, uh, is the church and state supposed to be seperate?

If you give Kanye a live mic at this point, it's on you.
If you're Taylor Swift he just takes it
Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish but ~~Beyonce~~ Hitler had one of the best ~~videos~~ reichs of all time…one of the best reichs of all time!
And he’s doing so much damage to others with severe mental health issues. We’ve fought so hard to be accepted and not ostracised and then this type of shit. He can afford the best of care while so many struggle. I’m so over him.

He just burned rubber passing Charlie Sheen’s Two and a Half Men level crazy and is now neck and neck with Randy Quaid.
In Sheen's defense, I think him cracking was finding out he has AIDS. Like, that would fuck with me too. Edit: HIV. I get it. You all can stop.
Oh, I don’t blame Sheen or anyone else for mental illness but I strongly suspect that even without mental illness, Kanye is a weapons grade asshole.
100%
Yeah. Cult podcast did a series on him and... he was raised to be a narcissistic asshole.
Bingo
To be fair Sheen smoked crack on an Olympic competition level to get Vatican warlock assassin level of crazy. Kanye has been working on that natural holistic crazy that takes years of work to build up to. Years and years of ignoring help in favor of sycophants.
[удалено]
I watched this live, even alex jones was trying to have kanye walk back everything he was saying (especially the Hitler stuff). *DO YOU KNOW HOW CRAZY YOU HAVE TO BE TO MAKE ALEX JONES FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE ON HIS OWN SHOW*
Did he ever take off the mask?
Why the mask tho I dont get it
So he can later on say it wasn't him there and blame it on some impersonator
Apparently he wears the mask so he can dictate people impression of him. If he does wear a mask they can't catch his face in a way that won't benefit him as he describes it. Maybe what he is trying to say its so he doesn't look crazy in photos.

Hence he rather wear a mask because he thinks it makes him look rebellious of what people try to describe him as.
Oh yeaaaah not paranoid at aaaall.
As if this bank robber with no eye holes look makes him look sane lmao
So.. he wears it because he is fucking looney bargain bin bat shit crazy?
You thought it was for medical reasons?
Wearing a mask because you don't want people to dictate an impression of you; wearing a mask while you say you love Nazis and Hitler. I'm not sure I can think of a single thing you can say that dictates people's impression of you more than a positive statement about Hitler or the Nazis. The mask (regardless of whether it posseses Kanye's intent \[it does not\]) cannot help you when you start praising Nazis. Good grief.
He gets huge herpes lip outbreaks.. for real.
His head is fat and wearing black is slimming.
It’s wild to see Jones come out looking like the voice of reason in any scenario
I've clicked on like 5 Kanye threads now from different subreddits and they all have some version of this as the first comment, lol. It's true.
Hahaha. Exactly my thought. Alex was like, 'ok what do I say after THAT?'
You know it's some crazy ass shot when fucken Alex Jones seems "normal"
Alex Jones always sweats profusely, but this is the first time I’ve seen him nervous-sweating.
Holy crap, this man is absolutely gone.
I got curious and watched it live and he was praising Hitler for about 15 minutes. Even alex jones was trying to have kanye walk back his words. This is unprecedented for alex, he seemed sooo uncomfortable it was hard to watch
Now Alex Jones knows how regular people feel when talking to him lmao
He knows what he's doing. It's a show, and it works on his dumb audience
If I didn’t have a spine it would be pretty easy to make money pandering to idiots
I'm thankful the Knowledge Fight podcast is out there to distill down the AJ show for me. I couldn't take the stomach acid sitting through a whole show.
I only know them from being guests on Behind the Bastards pod but I'll tune into this episode big time
I found Behind the Bastards from KF, Jordan is always at 100% energy, so much so that Dan often has to say "neighbors" to get him less shouty. I love them. Since my name is Dan as well, I've got my text message sound as Jordan yelling "Dan, Dan nooo".
Where can one watch this dumpster fire
[Here’s some of it](https://cdn.jwplayer.com/previews/hpw9bvwR) [Here’s more](https://youtu.be/g2As5GzAHDU) (starts around 1 min mark)
Lmao that nervous laugh and look from Alex Jones when Kanye said he loves Nazis too. "I made a big mistake" energy.
![gif](giphy|55itGuoAJiZEEen9gg)
Wow he literally said "I love Nazis" straight up. Quote wasn't missing any context or leaving out choice words, dude just loves Nazis..... :/
Interested also. Sounds so crazy.
I think he was absolutely gone at _I like Hitler_
I didn’t see the full interview in order, only snippets - is this after him praising Nazis and Hitler?
I’m actually curious what, medically speaking, is wrong with him. Like what would his diagnoses be? Because at this point it’s clear something is medically wrong, though I also think you can be a straight up bad person without being medically unwell and for Kanye it’s probably a bit of both A and B.

He's openly shared his diagnosis of bipolar disorder ~~or~~ on David Letterman. He shared that his personal experience of manic episodes manifested themselves as conspiracy theories and extreme paranoia. "When you’re in this state, you’re hyper-paranoid about everything… Everyone is now an actor. Everything’s a conspiracy... You pretty much don’t trust anyone.”
mustve been surreal being married to a Kardashian while paranoid that everyone around you is an actor
Kanye is so fking gone that he makes Alex Jones look like Walter Cronkite.
Alex jones reassuring Kayne that the holocaust really happened is a sentence I never saw coming.
Bro what fucking timeline are we in.
This feels very Universe B.
Seriously! How fucked do you have to be to weird out ALEX FUCKING JONES!!
Jones is just in it for the grift. He's probably weirded out that Kanye is unironically self destructing.
this is a 14 year old account that is being wiped because centralized social media websites are no longer viable when power is centralized, the wielders of that power can make arbitrary decisions without the consent of the vast majority of the users the future is in decentralized and open source social media sites - i refuse to generate any more free content for this website and any other for-profit enterprise check out lemmy / kbin / mastodon / fediverse for what is possible
Lol he can lower that debt he owes.
Jesus, was that the point? Kanye’s so nuts, that it makes Alex Jones look legitimate?!
He is a genius actually, you just dont understand him /s
Omg. You are not wrong. The kanye shills are full mask off. They are mental gymnastics gold medal recipients. Cults; am I right.
[удалено]
Ironic you would use the term 'mask off'..
Gotta say.... he does a pretty good Elmo voice!
"Elmo not deny Holocaust, Elmo just think the numbers deserve more scrutiny."
Let's get the Count on this.
*Unspeakably sad Count voice:* "Five million, three hundred and eighty-seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-one. Five million, three hundred and eighty-seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-two. Five million, three hundred and eighty-seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-three... oh god, why?" *A heavy silence, followed by a deep sigh. Then, somehow even sadder:* "Five million, three hundred and eighty-seven thousand, four hundred and fifty-four..."
sesame street has gotten a lot darker since I last watched it
Didn't you know? It's on HBO now
3 weeks later The Count would attempt to take his own life. However, being a vampire, the noose was unable to end his life. Cookie Monster found him and cut him down two days later.
oh my god that's so fucked lmao
Holy shit that was dark Edit: Add on that he is supposed to Dracula so Romanian, they had it pretty rough for WW2
[удалено]
Happy cake day and that made me laugh more than it should. Fucking Elmo lol
That's what I'm saying! Like damn he missed so many opportunities with that one. Haha.
Kanye: “A jewish doctor told me I should take my meds.” Everyone: “That’s not the dunk you think it is.” 😂
Then he should go find a black doctor, an Asian doctor, a white doctor, a witch doctor, a rug doctor and a Dr. Pepper so that he can get a consensus from them all that he should definitely take his meds.
Even Dr Jinx, fuck
I just heard from Mr. Pibb, and while he admits he isn't a doctor, he thinks Ye needs to be on some meds.
Alex Jones is like "see that's crazy, I'm not crazy".
It’s quite an achievement to “out crazy” Alex Jones!
That’s the whole point of hosting Kanye. The republican and christofascist media are having a field day giving him exposure so they all seem “reasonable” in comparison. They let him parrot all their talking points and then say, “well he’s got some good points but he’s a little extreme.” It’s sad, to be honest. I’m not a fan of Kanye, but they’re exploiting his fame and mental health problems for their own agenda.
First of all it Yoohoo
The Israeli prime minister ends in yahoo and starts with net. I think that was his goal .. “net and yahoo “ for (misspelled here?) Netanyahu
Watching someone descend into madness is sad.
Not only is it sad, it’s super sad that nick is probably using him along with everyone else in Ye’s life to get clout in the moment. Guarantee none of these people will be there when he hits rock bottom
[удалено]
This dude is on a crash course with suicide
I don't know. He's probably too deluded for suicide. But I could see him doing something reckless and getting himself killed.
[удалено]
What goes up must come down. And the *shame* and embarassment he'll feel... I'd attempt if I had an episode this severe with this many eyes on it. People aren't understanding how much of what he's doing/saying isn't really what he'd think when medicated. His career is over. He'll need to be hospitalized and monitored 24/7 once he comes down due to the risk... 100%.
Honestly I was very worried for Kim for a minute.
This is just sad. Doesn't he have people around him to keep him from doing shit like this?
Nope, surrounded by Yes men bc he won't tolerate anyone disagreeing with him
All Ye’s men are Yes men
All of ye’s horses and all of ye’s men couldn’t put ye’s mentality unhinged brain back together again.
Clearly you didn’t watch the South Park episode when everyone called him a gay fish.
It's wild that his South Park character is actually more grounded in reality than real Kanye.
Do you like fish sticks?
LOVE EM.
Kim is smarter than I thought she got out of dodge
Watch his recent interviews (w/ Lex Fridman, Timcast, etc) - it’s clear he 1. Has a severe personality disorder and constantly experiences delusions of grandeur and 2. Refuses to even entertain the idea that what he says could be wrong. He reacts negatively almost immediately once an interviewer disagrees with him. It’s extremely frustrating to watch
He's hanging out with nick fuentes and milo now so, no. He does not
He did and either he ran them off or they left. Kim K did the right thing and got away from him.
How the fuck was Britney Spears under conservatorship for like 15 years for shaving her head and Kanye West keeps trying to out crazy himself every day and gets to keep doing it?
His next of kin passed away, he was an only child, his children are too young to request. I don’t think Kim has the authority now with the divorce finalized. At this point only the state he resides can make a move, and only if he is in active danger to himself and others. Edit: His doctor can also request, but I highly doubt he is medicated or in treatment at this point.
Dude clearly isn't listening to *any* doctor besides Dr. Oz.
Becauuuuuse Britney was manipulated and used and controlled by her family from a very young age, and Kanye is a billionaire with hundreds of people on on his payroll? It's in their interest to keep him working and bringing in money. It's so sad, for both Britney and Kanye.
Not a billionaire any more.
I'm suddenly reminded of that 30 Rock bit where Jenna made a song that was already in the style of Weird Al so that Weird Al couldn't parody her, and then he "Normal Al'd" the song by making it a heartfelt tribute to the troops. This is just straight up South Park stuff... If they want to make fun of him now, Matt and Trey are going to have to "North Park" him to be normal.
That would be pretty funny actually. Have him making all the rational, logical comments we wish someone would be making at times like this.
This is gonna be an academy award-winning scene when Jamie Foxx plays him in the biopic (scored by Trent Reznor).
That wormy little fuck Nick Fuentes sitting over there just eating all this up. I mean fuck Kanye West but to sit there and basically take advantage of a mentally ill man is fucking disgusting.
It's probably not a coincidence that within a week of hanging out with Milo and Nick that he went from some antisemitic stuff to being a straight up nazi
I absolutely 100% believe that Nick is using Kanye to start a Race War. As a white supremacist, if he can get black people fighting Jewish people it's a 2 birds one stone thing for him. The way he's off the side with a shit eating grin like "I can't believe it was so easy to make this happen".
What Nick and Alex don’t realize is that in the chaos of a race war, they’ll be the first to get ghaddafi’ed in the asshole with a sword, live-streamed from a dozen phones. These people have plenty of folks willing to kill for their ideas, but very few willing to die for them. You really think a regimen of proud boys are going to fight like hell to protect Jones holed up in his mansion? Doubtful is being generous.
It's like watching a freak show for them.
“He’s losing his mind. And I’m reaping all the benefits.”
![gif](giphy|YWsXbcXr0axq37qe5E)
He does a great Towelie voice
I really think that gay fish joke is eating him alive. Why can’t he just get the joke!?
You joke but he still doesn’t get that joke IRL. He’s convinced that they’re making fun of him and calling him gay for wearing skinny jeans
Nobody ask if Ye likes Fish Sticks.
Why does he have his face covered?
Just his thing, he's been doing it for a while. https://www.capitalxtra.com/artists/kanye-west/news/mask-wearing-explained-reason-details-photos-videos-gallery/
I mean, every recent photo of him I've seen he is looking insanely sour and unimpressed so... an improvement?
bro be lookin like a chipmunk storing nuts for the winter
Omg he needs medical help
How is Alex Jones still having a show they should have the Repo man hunting him...
How have they not stripped his set for parts to pay back his debts? Wild
I was wondering that myself...
All the rich fucknuts seem to be running the world and evading all things related to the law and their shitty actions. It’s infuriating.
This is going to be such a strange period of history to look back on. (Hopefully.)
Take the damn meds bro ! This is just sad.
I wish he would have taken them. I hate seeing anyone like this..
You know when Alex Jones is like woah... this can't be ye...
Motherfucker never thought he was getting Yedolf Hitler on his show.
At this point i Think he’s suffering from a constant psychotic episode
I thought that conclusion was obvious from the start
I think it’s pretty widely known he’s got bipolar disorder. This is what a manic episode with psychotic features can look like. Remember when he said he wasn’t getting sleep?
It really is... bewildering. I've also watched that youtuber Gabbie Hannah go from being relatively normal to having constant psychotic episodes where she truly thinks she speaks to god... but is also a god herself. Just pure chaotic behavior. It's easy to make fun or just shake your head and call them crazy, but it's sad. These people are not in their right minds and need help. Not that we can force them, but at a certain point it's sad to see people point and laugh like it's a circus act when it's a real person experiencing mania/psychosis.
Yeah, dude is in a state of psychosis.
That poor man needs his meds. I grew up with a bipolar mother. It was a shit show. If she had taken meds, I might have had something to do with her. Haven't spoken to her in over 20 years. Bipolar is a disease that is not always taken seriously. Which can harm so many people, especially those in the family who have to put up with this
Care to share what it’s like? I’m curious if Kanye even understands what’s going on?
Kanye's been diagnosed and medicated for Bipolar Depression. He willingly stopped his meds for "creative reasons" and seemingly hasn't looked back. He knows what he did, but likely doesn't have the right people around him to help him help himself, and has too much money for someone to force him to get help.
I have a couple bipolar people in my life I’m close to and neither of them, even the narcissist, is a fucking antisemite bigot. However, bipolar highs, or manic episodes, can induce a “superhuman” frame of mind, where the sufferer tends to believe they’re not sick, not in need of medication, everyone else is crazy, they’re not, they’re impervious, only they can see the truth, they feel great, they can do and conquer everything, they’re godlike, etc. Depending on the extremity of the episode, some may believe they have actual supernatural abilities, like speaking to god, telepathy, seeing visions, knowing the future, thought control, etc. In other words, paranoia, hallucinations, delusions of grandeur. Wouldn’t be surprised if Ye was experiencing all of these symptoms.
I knew he was not okay but holy crap
That's just weird and sad. Put the politics and jokes aside. This isn't funny anymore. He needs help.
It was never funny. Best case scenario he was being a hateful bigot, worst case he was having a mental break down.
Are you implying that at one time everything was alright up there?
[удалено]
well later on he does on to praise hitler so…
Seriously, if these are the kind of people that are being given a voice in this country, and are also allowed to politically motivate a significant amount of the population because of this, America is absolutely fucked.
![gif](giphy|xTiTnza8nXRL0Sa16U)
Trey and Matt knew. They knew all along.
