Ye interview is really good (about 1/3 way in) but I feel like it's not gonna matter because people are gonna post hot takes based on motivated cognitions about Ye anyways.

I think it's great contextual information about all the positivity tweeting and the Trump stuff (starting this bit now) all at once.

Clearly people like yourself are the biased ones, not the guy endlessly defending the bloviating moron.

why are my mentions blowing up when I've repeatedly said his endorsement of Trump is terrible and harmful and that he doesn't think thinks through and he's irresponsible and divorced from the consequences and responsibilities of his platform

Breh can be that AND going through some serious mental health issues, it's not an either-or, and you'd think people taking the moral high ground would understand the importance of nuance, especially with a US president who refuses to see nuance and just goes with whatever the last person who talked to him said. The world doesn't need any more reductivism, whether you feel you want to throw the whole Kanye away or not.

Truly perfect timing. BRB checking ashes of KTT.

I see Kanye as a simpleton, always have.. the fact you think anyone should care to approach him with "nuance" is the problem IMO. Get over the dude, he's a talented moron. If he has mental issues then that's really his and his family's business to deal with.

He moreso isn't capable of perspective-taking or like looking for flaws in his own arguments/feelings.

Like wanting to dress survivors of tragedies in fresh clothes and stuff. Like, I get it, you're trying to empower them but there are several elephants in the room here and he just fails to think that shit through while getting caught in conceptual, abstract loops that are kind of self-sufficient and satisfying to him.

EDIT: This opioids shit is next level twist to the story, I don't know what to think about this besides more symptoms of paranoia and schizophrenia. Not to distant-diagnose, but it just really seems like he needs help and his friends are probably failing him too right now.

I personally think he just lacks critical thinking

His brain rushes from idea to idea and just sticks to one without thinking it through

but he cannot

CANNOT be using his voice and platform to say what he's saying. He is going to be an alt-right media darling for a while

He just reads the titles and what he thinks sounds cool, intelligent, and or different.

It's all surface level with no real meat to it. Kind of like his music.

Can't watch ATM but I'm sure hearing what T.I. has to say on this will be interesting since he's one of the few that Ye listens to that was explaining what he gets wrong to him:

Ouh, gonna check out the Ye x Charla interview later. Expecting a lot of big rambling """ideas""" and dangerously ignorant "free-thinking".

Time for y'all to pretend like this aint fire


Been done telling y'all she's the shit. Dropping fire after fire. Like, can anyone here give me a good reason why she's not legit when all these Lil's and Young's are? She raps better than Cardi, imo.

Oh maaan, haven't seen the TMZ stuff. Ugh, dude is just painfully ignorant. He doesn't think anything through beyond the absolute surface - if even that - and doesn't seem to be able to think critically at all. He should really just shut the fuck up, keep talking about fashion and namedrop architects, but stay away from politics, please.

EDIT: Oh, just saw the Opioids video. Oof.

lol David Spade cameoing in little girls' rap videos now for some cash. somebody greenlight Emperors New Groove or another Joe Dirt sequel to get this man paid again.

tbh I got no problem with her popping in 2018, wouldn't go out of the way to listen to her shit but some of it bangs. she's got as much right to be there as the rest of the soundcloud wave making hits

T.I. says Ye is not playing around when he says he's gonna run for president, said he'd keep peppering mentions of it through the hours they spent talking. Also one of the main things in the Charlamagne interview that Ye said he liked Trump for, he showed that anyone can do it.

Darkest timeline.

AKA let me appeal to his base that got him there early on.
Literally anyone else would be a better president compared to Trump

Tbh, of all the things Kanye says, him respecting Trump for the act of running for president, and showing that someone not part of the political system can win, makes sense to me.

Not gonna vote for Ye tho.

Trump has more political experience than Oprah, Ye, or Bey, and look how well that's working out.

Few things frustrate me more in this timeline than marginalizing the value of expertise and science. People outchea equivocating feelings and anecdotes with things people have dedicated their lives to understanding and systematic procedures used to reduce bias in developing conclusions. /researcherrant
