Fuck the Nazis. Somebody should make Kanye and other idiots like him spend 1 day in the inhumane treatment their favorite fascists inflicted on others, and I bet they would change their tune.

I think KW needs to visit a neuropsychologist for an assessment.

He stops treatment to make music since they inhibit his creativity. Before with Kim he would be on meds and then go off them, make an album and she would get him back on. Now he’s just being crazy 24/7. As Pete Davidson said, “take the meds kanye, I’m on them, they’re great.

I mean, that's the rub, isn't it?

People with serious psychiatric illness oftentimes have poor insight and poor judgment, which is part of their illness. They don't always appreciate that anything is wrong, or might feel that something is wrong, but can't figure out why and the paranoia makes it hard to trust people / doctor's.

Paranoid delusions and/or delusions of grandeur are much harder to reality test for people who are, legitimately, at the top of the world.

i believe evil only exists in people who cannot feel empathy. Kanye west is incapable of empathy

I think that’s an oversimplification that we should avoid. Evil can exist in any person. I think most evil (at least on a larger/societal scale) is actually caused or enabled by people who truly believe their cause to be morally right, as well as people who are just plain ignorant/stupid. Germans under the nazis were certainly capable of empathy, but they were convinced it was the Jews who were evil and that they themselves were truly superior. I think the average Trump voter was capable of empathy, but they just didn’t see the reality of who he was because they were ignorant, either willfully or otherwise

Edit: I also think a major cause of evil is dehumanizing/“othering” certain people. I’m sure many in the KKK are capable of empathy, but they’ve successfully dehumanized other races to the point that they don’t see anything wrong with brutally killing them

well i guess the proper correction is to remove the word only and reword some things so it makes sense

Everyone is harping on him but it seems pretty clear to me that he's having a mental health crisis.

Instead of getting help, or being forced to get help, he's being allowed in the spotlight, and everyone is lapping it up.

Being bipolar doesn't turn you into a Nazi though. He is going through a mental health crisis, but also he's a bigoted asshole.

Being bipolar absolutely can turn you into a Nazi. It's stated pretty well here, separated from bipolar disorder:

> To continue perceiving extreme racism as normative and not pathologic is to lend it legitimacy. Clearly, anyone who scapegoats a whole group of people and seeks to eliminate them to resolve his or her internal conflicts meets criteria for a delusional disorder, a major psychiatric illness.

Seems like you still have to be racist for this to happen.

Leaxe t1_j1g1tcv wrote

Yeah, of course. I'm not saying Kanye isn't racist, just that it is pointless to acknowledge some parts of Kanye's mania as mental disorder, but not other parts. As I quoted, "anyone who scapegoats a whole group of people and seeks to eliminate them ... meets criteria for a delusional disorder".

This has been a excuse for years and it isn't working anymore. Like seek help if it is the case

Kanye is American, he doesn’t need Nazis from Germany to figure that out, we have the confederates here at home.

They want to be the one wielding that kind of power. Putting them under the boot and trying to ground them down won’t suddenly make them feel bad for it happening to others, it will just vindicate their need to inflict pain on others and to have the power to do so with impunity.

The response is not “never again” it is “never again TO ME”.

>ding about similar circumstances in the book Night by Elie Wiesel. The brutality of the holocaust is something I find truly disturbing and yet I crave the knowledge. These stories are why we study History in our s

You're an idiot if you think Kanye is saying that he loves what the nazis did. He's saying he loves everyone.
