So no more pork, cocaine or prostitutes for Kanye? (Based on OP's name)

How is this affecting your 4th quarter sales numbers? Will investors see reduced dividends?

Since doing so, he arrived at my house doing some unauthorised filming and my parents had to escort him off the premises

There is no hypocrisy. Saying John Lennon is an asshole isn’t groundbreaking at all.

You’re out here trying to change the subject because you’re a Ye Stan plain and simple.

Then what the fuck is your point?

Separate the art from the music?

If that’s all you are saying - youve added nothing to the conversation save for a platitude with a personal thing for Lennon.

There is no double standard.

People bash Lennon all the time. They don’t generally do it on Kanye posts lest they have a personal thing with Lennon.

Weird.

I understood your rambling about how the Beatles weren’t cancelled but Kanye was.

Then I read your personal beef with Lennon which is common as fuck.

Then I noted your complete lack of logic and forethought between the two decades/eras that you are comparing as if they are not apples and fucking oranges.

Bunch of drivel that you are not trying to pass as something to be misunderstood.

Ok dude.

Sure.

>Seeing as Lennon suffered no financial consequences for his actions and nobody stopped listening to The Beatles upon that information getting out, yet people are advocating for all above in case of Kanye, there is.

That's not a double standard. It's about half a century of cultural changes.

Good for you. I’d also like announce I’ve not heard a single note of this guy’s work. He’s a nobody in my book. (I’m joking and don’t want to imply I’m putting his art down. I’m more of a classical & smooth jazz kind of of guy.)

Well, you do make a pretty unassimilated comparison. Perhaps you’re not completely up to date in terms of the things Kanye is saying, and the implications it can have on the lives of an incredibly large amount of people, and also the gravity of the impact, which both are on a completely different scale than the John Lennon comparison.

Your so stunning and brave. Are you an anti racist too?

someuseername t1_iu0zamf wrote

I really think you’re underestimating the severity of the situation. Neonazis are coming out in support of Kanye West, the holocaust museum invited him over, when he said no, they’ve received an incredible amount of deaththreats, conservatives use him as a means of getting people to start believing in their borderline nazi/fascist rhetoric. Please don’t act like this is nothing, this is fucking horrible.

If you follow American online political discourse you know that Kanye west has been weaponized by the far-right as a useful idiot for their own propaganda, what better way to forward nazi rhetoric than a black guy going after jews?

Well it depends, if his literary works (Knut Hamsun) have been a foundation for people becoming nazi sympathizers, perhaps a bit more moral consciousness is in place. About Kanye, It’s difficult, there have been so many instances where he’s just borderline denying holocaust, or casually whataboutisming away from it, and so many other literal insane shit he’s said in the past couple weeks, that I think, even him having an manic episode, does not mean he’s not to be blamed for anything. This is such a big event, where all types of lines are being crossed, which emboldens neonazi’s, fascists and white supremacists in their ability to cross lines they weren’t able before. It’s, at least for me, impossible to deconnect his music from his behavior lately, since music is art, which is expression, which in turn is an extension of a person. But hey, each to their own of course.
