Ye song glorifying Hitler gets millions of views on X while other platforms struggle to remove it

It’s literally called “Heil Hitler”.

I think anyone who defends him needs to back up now.

Whoah, whoah, we don't want to be jumping to conclusions about who may, or may not, be a Nazi. /s
- removeds See My Twitter But They Don’t See How I Be Feeling So I Became A Nazi
  Lyrics from the song
- Oh, just because he said "Heil Hitler" that makes him a Nazi? https://youtu.be/zvgZtdmyKlI
  /s obviously
There’sa lot of hateful racism among many young hip hop fans
"Hey, now, maybe he was just trying to "put his heart out" to people. Also he's autistic or something.
Him saying "I looooove Hitler" on Alex Jones was just him saying "I don't love Hitler", but in secret code."
MAGA, probably
- Dude. There's a limit to that expression. There's a reason why nobody likes Nazi's and they deserve a punch in the face at minimum. Don't be on the repeat side of history by performing some kind mental gymnastics to preserve freedom of expression and inadvertantly protect Nazism with that argument. That's what apologists do now and did in the past.
  Always remember this: if you have 10 people eating dinner at a table and 1 of them is a Nazi, how many nazi's do you have? The answer is 10 Nazis.
- You need to spend some time thinking on the (misnamed) "paradox of tolerance". The idea you're espousing is exactly the most critical, fundamental misunderstanding of tolerance as a moral value.
  The "paradox of tolerance" is the idea that one must even tolerate the intolerant - it would be a paradox because this tolerance ultimately ensures the unbridled spread of intolerance. Folks weakly on the left have misunderstood this forever.
  But there is no paradox, never has been. Tolerance must never be given to the hatefully intolerant. Nazism can never be tolerated, it must be defeated as quickly as possible everywhere it sprouts up. And I do absolutely mean violently, I am not talking about just simple ostracism or censorship.
  A society that tolerates the hatefully intolerant is fully doomed. Please, come to realize that you are not advocating for anything high-minded, you are advocating for the destruction of all things beautiful, art or otherwise.
- The government isn’t silencing him. Private entities are deciding not to support it. Forcing them to would be against free speech.
- I don't know why this has to keep being repeated. It's not hard.
  Free speech does not mean you are entitled to have a private entity like a website host your content or speech.
  He is welcome to sing this on the streets. He is welcome to publish this himself, be it hosted by a website he creates or in a physical medium.
  He is not entitled to it being placed on retail shelves. He is not entitled to have it hosted on YouTube or Spotify.
  This isn't hard. The government of the United States has made absolutely no moves to silence this song. He can sing it and personally distribute it as much as he wants. But no one can be forced to distribute it for him
- Is it still music and art that should be platformed when it calls for genocide?
  Edit: whoops I fell for sealioning again
- Who gets to decide what art is objectionable and have it censored?
  Me
- You may want to consider the tolerance of intolerance here champ
- You are disgusting. Your argument is wack and holds no water. Social media has no obligation to host hate speech. Fuck you for being a bottom dwelling Nazi apologist.
- And none of those platforms have to host the material. I don't know what drill rap is.
  Who gets to decide? The gallery, the sculpture garden, and YouTube.
  I agree with you, BTW. However, I haven't seen any government attempt to censor this song yet. Song sucks though, and I'm a fan of early Kanye.
- With the art excuse we are at the point that saying "heil Hitler" is not okay but singing it is okay.
- Nah this is fucked, stop trying to be whatever this is.
- Yeah, if he's singing about how we should all gas the Jews, or kill all the Palestinians, or mass murder all Ukrainians, it's all fine, it's just art, you see?
  I'm glad I don't have your big smooth brain
- Totally wrong on this one. Your rights end where others begin. Is it OK if a guy writes a song about torturing and killing you. You specifically. No? What about 3 songs? 10 songs?
  There's a very clear line in free speech. You are free to say what you wish WITH IN NORMAL PARAMETERS! Does this protect some hate speech, or what a targeted group might see as hate speech? A bit. But not the brazen stuff. You want to stand on a corner and talk about how the pope controls the weather? OK. You want to stand on a street corner and clearly call people to violence to harm Catholics and their property? No. That's not free speech. You aren't allowed to call people to violence.
  Is praising Hitler, and other neo nazi garbage hate speech? Yes. It's hate speech. There's no Hitler that didn't kill millions of people. There's no nazi party that didn't call people to action and violence. You don't have the freedom to stand on a street corner and clearly make appeals to specific violence. That's never been allowed.
- The guy is once again professing his love for Hitler. This song is normalizing the Usage of Heil Hitler. How the fuck do you not see that?
- First of all, these are private companies, not governments. They can technically do whatever TF they want, and we probably shouldn’t have ceded so much power to them.
  …Anyway, I think you have a point. Or at least part of one.
  It’s reasonable to draw red lines like “no nazism on our platform.” But at the end of the day Spotify and such can ban whatever they want, with no repercussions since it’s basically a network of defacto, legally shielded monopolies.
  So how would we feel if, say, they started banning podcasts a little too popular and too critical of the president?
  In other words, banning nazism as a policy is fine, but arbitrarily banning what looks bad to them is indeed going to be a problem.
- Yep, so in Australia NSW police have been contacting Spotify/YouTube/etc with requests to delist certain songs from Sydney drill rap bands that glorify and promote gang violence against Spotify's/Youtube's/etcs policies, the streamers have in some cases agreed and delisted the music, in other cases they have not and the music remains. This is after the groups theyve had issues with (eg One-Four) have caused multiple riots and had several charges and convictions, so it's arisen from a desire to serve public good. Only certain tracks have been targeted from what I can see, not whole albums or artist catalogs.
  That's a far cry from the government deciding what art people can or cannot listen to in my opinion. They have only asked some streaming platforms to adhere to their own policies, and then tbe platforms have made their own decisions on case by case basis.
  Is there other actions I'm not aware of? The govt hasn't passed any laws to block the sale of drill rap nor banned its play on radio etc?
- He's a Nazi and he should be fucking shot.
- Bad take on Ye’s Hitler music
- No.
- Are you saying you think it’s ok to give a platform to content explicitly promoting genocide and Nazism so long as it has a beat?
- That's not really at issue here.
  This isn't the government deciding what art is objectionable, and arresting those who play music they don't like. This is a private company deciding what it wants to host in it's library, that it curates, it pays license fees for, and sells subscriptions too. Ye or any Nazi absolutely has the right to make and sell any music they want. They however don't have the right to force another company to sell their music for them.
- So if there is a new song that lists all of the high up government official's addresses and tells everyone to kill them and a billionaire will give them a million dollars to do it, that would be cool? You think that would be art? Nah dude, those song people would get a knock on their door before the song plays though 10 times.
- While this can certainly be interpreted as defending awful people (which I'm sure someone will, prepare for downvotes because many only read the first paragraph and do not understand nuance) with an awful message, I tend to agree with you.
  Music is art, and like any artwork its quality does not depend on its message. I have to admit that the gay fish was never the kind of artist I enjoyed simply because the rap tracks I like are few and far between. (Wtf is drill rap?)
  But to use a different angle: I've always been a metal head, and there's quite a lot of black metal that I enjoy. And as most sensible people understand, that doesn't make me a satanist, nor do I endorse burning of churches.
  So the obvious question is then: Is Ye's newer stuff any good? Well, fuck if I know. I cannot name a single song Ye made. But he's not exactly making it more tempting to try and like his stuff. Anyway, fuck him and fuck the horse he rode in on.
  EDIT: I did some research. I remember Golddigger. That's all.

In case you’d like the lyrics for this “masterpiece”:

[Verse 1: Ye] Man, these people took my kids from me

Then they froze my bank account

I got so much anger in me

Got no way to take it out

Think I'm stuck in the Matrix

Where the fuck is my nitrous

Yes, I am a cuck, I like when people fuck on my bitch

With shit that I'm postin' on Twitter they tellin' me, "Ye, don't say that"

How n*ggas can see me in public im drivin an all-chrome Maybach

With all of the money and fame I still can't get my kids back

With all of the money and fame I still don't get to see my children

N*ggas see my Twitter, but they don't see >how I be feeling

So I became a Nazi, yeah, bitch, I'm the villain

[Chorus: Ye] Ngga, Heil Hitler Ngga, Heil Hitler They don't understand the things I say on Twitter Ngga, Heil Hitler They don't understand the things I say on Twitter All my nggas Nazis, ngga, Heil Hitler Ngga, Heil Hitler Ngga, Heil Hitler All my nggas Nazis, ngga, Heil Hitler She wanna fuck in Japan, I put the chrome on the Benz (Ngga, Heil Hitler) She reaching down to my pants, she got the world in her hands

[Chorus: The Hooligans] Ngga, Heil Hitler Ngga, Heil Hitler Ngga, Heil Hitler All my nggas Nazis, ngga, Heil Hitler Ngga, Heil Hitler Ngga, Heil Hitler All my nggas Nazis, ngga, Heil Hitler Ngga, Heil Hitler Ngga, Heil Hitler Ngga, Heil Hitler N*gga, Heil Hitler

[Outro: Adolf Hitler] Du meine Arbeit für richtig hältst Ob du glaubst, dass ich fleißig gewesen bin, dass ich gearbeitet habe Dass ich mich in diesen Jahren für dich eingesetzt habe, dass ich anständig meine Zeit verwendet habe im Dienste meines Volkes. Gib du jetzt deine Stimme ab, wenn "JA", dann tritt für mich ein, so wie ich für dich eingetreten bin!

This is a severely mentally man who needs help. This is not a song that should have had people working on it. This should not have been released. I have had a in-depth conversation with something who believed that Shrek was the incarnation of God and they were more cogent than this.

Kanye was always a strange and not great lyricist, but this is mental illness.

mentally [ill] man who needs help.
I agree with this. A while back he did an interview with Lex Fridman. For those not familiar with Lex, he does long-form interviews of an hour or more that get into great detail on various subjects, and he makes a point to educate himself on those subjects beforehand so it is an actual discussion, not the usual interview of a guy explaining his job to somebody who has never heard of it.
For anyone not convinced Ye needs help, please go listen to that interview.
Ye early on blames the 'Jewish media' for an awful lot of the world's problems. Lex encourages him to call out specific members of that media for specific problems, rather than writing off an entire religion and an entire industry. Lex encourages him to use his platform to identify bad actors and directly oppose them. Ye refuses any specifics, talking only in broad general terms.
Ye then says with full conviction that we should stop teaching history in schools, that it is a waste of time and resources to relive the past and we should be teaching science and math and engineering instead as history offers us little or nothing of value. Lex of course brings up several parallels between history and modern society and similar problems happening under similar situations, once again Ye refuses to acknowledge and keeps restating his point in different words.
These are just two of the bigger issues. I got about halfway through the interview before I concluded that this man has no fundamental understanding of how the world works or of how human nature works, that he was either deluded or mentally ill or just very stupid, let his positions are almost entirely without merit and that he is a person and his ideas are probably unworthy of any consideration of mine. For me that's a pretty big thing, I try to separate the person from the idea and give everybody equal consideration.
But after listening to Ye speak for half an hour, I concluded it was the same as going to a mental hospital and listening to one of the patients rant about how aliens ate their brain for half an hour- The only thing I get from the experience is half an hour older.
I don't know what is wrong with Ye. Maybe he is just uneducated and ignorant and managed to fail upwards because he's good at music. Maybe he is mentally ill. I don't know. But I do know that he is not a smart or intelligent person that we should be listening to in any capacity.
- I’m pretty sure after his mother died, (of complications from a weight loss procedure he paid for), it broke him. He started abusing nitrous, Kim K tried to keep him compliant with doctors and meds, but eventually gave up to keep the kids safe.
  I am convinced that he has always been neurodivergent - possibly autistic. He’s always had strange lyrics, but was a genius producer. He had his finger on the pulse for what kinds of sounds to bring out of SoundCloud and other spaces - you see in Yeezus that he’s kinda bringing the experiments of groups like CLPPNG and Death Grips to the mainstream.
  He’s also going through some serious creative decline. Life of Pablo was strained. He’s resorting to shit like AI. That cannot feel good. He knows that something is wrong, but has to externalize it because of his “god” persona.
  The comparison to someone in an asylum is apt. If he wasn’t rich, those song lyrics would have been written on a bathroom wall in feces.
  He needs help, not a microphone.
- The only thing I get from the experience is half an hour older.
  That was a fire line, and I'm stealing it.
- Only thing Kanye West needs help with at this point is shutting the fuck up.
- Never do a Kardashian. Not once. Meth has better long term expectations than a man involved with a Kardashian.
- We're God's iPhone
  Ye
There is direct correlation between right-wing ideology and brain damage
- Nitrous addiction can cause brain damage too
I have had a in-depth conversation with something who believed that Shrek was the incarnation of God
I would love to hear their reasoning. That is fascinating.
- Some modern religious philosophies (most notably Chaos Magick) essentially believe that thoughts, symbols, ideas, and cultural concepts gain power through their spread and repetition. Within this framework, Shrek may as well be a god because he's the center of a popular media franchise and the basis of many popular memes. By saying "Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life" it becomes real in a sense. That's kind of where I think that would be coming from. I've seen people make similar arguments about batman and mickey mouse being their personal gods.
- They also included flubber. Flubber represented the Trinity - because it is neither a solid nor a liquid. God is a translucent Shrek made out of flubber.
  That was the gist of it, across thirty minutes. The friends next to us were having a conversation about how both of them were vampires and their dad had power over storms.
  It was a college volunteer project where I was trying to come up with volunteer projects to connect folks to the community. Was fun - we crocheted granny squares for baby rhinos.
- saying he’s treated like a nazi so might as well say he’s a nazi.
  https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/8/8/1786532/-Cartoon-You-made-me-become-a-Nazi is kind of timeless
Damn, that's just sad.
With all of the money and fame I still can’t get my kids back LMAO. Has he tried not being a NAZI, gay fish-loving cuck?
You can use \* instead of * to get the asterisk to appear. Otherwise it will italicize.
- Honestly, messing with the formatting of the first verse was enough. My phone can’t regex, and I really despise that word too much to try to fix it. I’m not inclined to put more effort into the formatting as Ye did into the lyrics themselves.
I know you said you were on a phone, although if you can, spoiler formatting on this would be great. It's perfect for long sections that can be opened and retracted (and also for content that not everyone really wants to see)
- Also, add backslashes before asterisks if you’re going to use them like that. Lemmy uses MarkDown for its markup, and asterisks or underscores around a word or section will italicize it. But a backslash will cancel any formatting for whatever special character follows it.
  So this turns into this, but this turns into this.
  (Also, I had to use three backslashes to make this appear. The first backslash cancels the second, which makes it appear. Then the third backslash cancels the asterisk, which makes it appear. So when the comment is posted, you’re actually seeing the second backslash of three, and the cancelled asterisk.)

It was so funny when Alex Jones was like “yeah Kanye we know what you mean, the Nazis did some good things for the German people under Hitler but you don’t ‘love’ Hitler.”

And Kanye was like

“I LOOOOOOOOOVE HITLERRRRRRRRR!”

He has his net and his bottle of yoo-hoo. Get it? Net N yoo-hoo??

Take your meds, Kanye

Mental illness is no longer an acceptable excuse.
Eh more like he needs to be taken out to pasture.
They don't make a Clozapine big enough.
kanye:"never"
I'm not sure meds fixes... this.

Ye was briefly able to upload the song to the popular music streaming services Spotify and SoundCloud.

Isn't SoundCloud in Germany? [Checks Wikipedia] Yes, it is.

Isn't promotion of Hitler and Nazism in Germany a serious crime? [Checks Qwant] Yes, it is.

E.g.

Imprisonment, not exceeding five years, or a fine, will be the punishment for whoever, in public or in an assembly, approves, denies or minimizes an act described in § 220a(1) [i.e., genocide] committed under National Socialism, in a manner which is liable to disturb the public peace.

EXTRADITE KANYE!

Yet, the AfD is still allowed to exist for some reason.
- They've been more careful than Kanye.
Yes it is, but it's also protected by the freedom of art. Which makes prosecution harder, considering that 2 very strong freedoms act in Kanyes favour here
- Those assholes don't give a shit about "freedom of art" when video games like Wolfenstien can't get released in Germany.

Nazi
- I can't believe it was that incident that revealed Snopes as a nazi outlet(they basically said it was impossible to tell and talked about "not being able to read his mind". And they have made zero attempts at correcting the article or changing their stance, so they stand by what was written)

When we say "Ye did this", how many people actually recorded, played, produced, published this? I know next to nothing about modern music production, so maybe now he can do all of that at home with a laptop and an internet connection, but if there are others making money out of a clearly unstable person and getting none of the hate, I'd like at least to try and avoid giving them my money

Exactly. The star system is inherently exploitative. Why do you think they pretty much all end up overdosing, unaliving themselves and / or crazy.
- unaliving themselves
  It's ok. You can say it here. The algorithm isn't going to get you.
- Why do you think they pretty much all end up overdosing, unaliving themselves
  I think a huge part of the reason suicidal people feel so alone is because society absolutely refuses to talk about it.
  If you choose to self censor to make your content more friendly to advertisers while robbing vulnerable suicidal people of the language they need to be taken seriously, of course people are going to end up "unaliving" themselves because of it.
  Imagine trying to explain you're suicidal to a friend who isn't even capable of hearing the word "suicide".

So platforms (rightfully) remove this song, but are happy to let him have an account and make money off his other songs? If they actually cared, he would have been banned a long time ago…

His other songs like from years ago? Maybe those don’t belong to him and the platform does not remove those because that would punish a completely different entity that has nothing to do with what Kanye does now. All his songs prior to 2012 are owned by Def Jam (universal music subsidiary)
- So Kanye doesn’t get a penny from his songs he made before 2012?
Man I am so hungry…
- You alright bro?
If they remove his other songs, his fans might gravitate to other platforms. This is why they don't remove his other songs.
Why should his other songs be removed?
- If someone keeps making Nazi comments online, should they be banned or just the comments removed?
- He’s got another song on that album about showing a younger (?) cousin porn and having sucked his dick. That cousin is in prison for murdering someone. Now, children are curious and child perpetrated sexual abuse is a complicated and messy topic for professionals, but I don’t think you have to be a professional to say “yeah, probably not a good idea to release that.”

Whether he needs help or not I don't know but what I do know is that we need to stop giving this man any attention.

With all these reactionaries - Ye, JK Rowling, PragerU, Heritage Foundation, etc - We need to stop cross-posting their hate speech. All that does is risk spreading their views. I don't know why people who (rightfully) criticized CNN for airing Trump's full speeches, do the same with personalities who aren't even running for political power.
All it does it give mentally-ill attention seekers like Ye encouragement.
- Right. Before the internet people like this would be shunned by society until they either changed or stopped trying. The internet giving these people attention and power was one of the worst things to come from it.

which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.

Oh, that Hitler...

Thought it was Gay Hitler at first for sure.
- Ah, so the son of George Washington Hitler became a doctor? Good for him!
- If only

So when is he going to get a conservatorship?

He’s clearly in need of others making decisions for him.

Part of the song is complaining about how he can’t access his bank account, so maybe there’s action there.
But we all know conservatorships are really for when your child who you relentlessly groomed as a sex object wants to start keeping her own money. (How much do you think Dan Schneider paid off the family to keep anyone from knowing who her sisters baby daddy was?)
his mom died, so no other conservator, kim already left him years ago.
He should just jump into the sea and start living with other gay fish

Um, you have to be a special sort of moron to be Black and a fan of Hitler...sure, those Nazis might be your bud for a little while, and maybe use your money and fame to fund their cause. Right up until the Night of the Long Knives 2.0.

Look up the black hebrew Israelite movement. It's really a weird phenomenon.

I’ll fight Kanye for charity. Live on the internet.

Tell him punkrocksportsfan is not afraid to fight him. Why’s he afraid of punkrocksportsfan?

I’ll fight that dude. Don’t gotta get ready if you stay ready, right.

Name the time and place Mr Kanye West.

I would like to pre-purchase tickets for this event.
- How do we goad Elon into joining in also?
Careful he might try to suck your dick.
- A bj is a bj.
Oh fuck yeah man. You in his weight class?
- No I’m a middle weight he’s a fatass. I don’t care I’ll fight him anyway.

What a load of fucking bullshit. They must think we are dumb.

OH no we can't find his music to delete it guess we'll just keep cashing in on the listens because it's viral right now then delete it in a week.

Fucking clowns

But let Disney copyright claim it and it wou vanish overnight.

I don't believe this bullshit

"Bears are so strong and smart, they are great" said the salmon.

But he's totally not a Nazi because he is black.

Doesn’t he self identify as a Nazi?

Honest question: is Ye just mentally ill, or is Russia manipulating him?

Both? Just like the conspiracy theory crowd.
Very mentally ill.
- But also it's super easy to manipulate a mentally ill person. Just keep whispering in his ear that he's totally right and oh by the way he should be upset about this other thing too, and he will take the bait. Every. Time.
- Very mentally ill gay fish.
Unless Dr Sergei took him off his meds, this is probably all his own doing.
Being rich clearly means you have no real friends, because any real friend would have sat him down long ago and stopped him doing whatever the fuck this is.
Mentally I'll with "any publicity is good publicity".
I can't remember the details but I remember some time back hearing a pretty compelling argument that he's actually just a Nazi. It happens, apparently far too much.
Russia is manipulating him.
Edit: I don't actually believe this; I just thought it would be hilarious to have two comments with opposing answers. Fuck Kanye
No, he's just a divorced dad
edit: wow this joke was not well-received. Half of this song is just straight up references to his divorce though, it's basically a manifesto of the divorced-dad to reactionary pipeline.
Man these people took my kids from me
Then they post my bank account
I got so much anger in me
Got no way to take it out
With all of the money and fame
I still can't get my kids back
With all of the money and fame
I still don't get to see my children
That man is very much not ok with his divorce.
- There's a kernel of truth in the joke, divorced parents make up a serious section of the right-wing "SovCit" movements, it's a real entry to the right-wing pipelines.

I feel like Canada and Mexico are a few days away from being an old man that stands up from his rocking chair, grabs an old shotgun and goes "well. I guess it was comin'"

Meanwhile my social accounts get shut down within minutes of me posting PG beach photos that the algorithm claims are promoting sexual activity. I know I'm sexy, but tech platforms aren't facing challenges, this is intentional.

There was a trans woman who made an account on some social media account called "do I have boobs yet" and posted a topless pic every day after starting estrogen until her posts started getting taken down.
That AI isn't going to let you get away with posting beach photos with (I'm guessing) mild nudity or skimpy clothes that are perfectly acceptable attire.
No sir, how dare you!
- Scantily-clad people? On my internet?
  Such a preposterous proposition!
Damm just too hot 😔

You mean kanye west? After all a empty right wing ball sack like him doesn't like preferred names or pronouns.

Why don't we split the difference and just call him NazYe?

Who listens to this shitty artist anyways. I get the shock or discovery plays, but dude is straight trash anyways lol.

I could never stand him even at the peak of his popularity.
i WISH i didn’t like his stuff, but years ago (pre-Nazi shit by a long time) he used to be a really talented artist and he had a really major effect on rap as a genre. i don’t listen to his old stuff since the Nazi shit cuz he needs consequences fr, no matter how small, but it honestly sucks a lot cuz he has some really really great music. My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is one of the GOAT albums imo, and as sad as it is to say about someone profoundly mentally ill i think it woulda been best for his career if he died around 2016 😭
- You can just pirate it and he doesn't get any money, yet you get the music.
- Lol, Kanye has never been a talented artist. At least, not objectively. Plenty of people have thought he was trash since day one.
What an ignorant thing to say, he's a fucked up person but he's one of the most talented musicians of our age. He singlehandedly ended gangster raps reign over the rap genre by dropping an album where he sang about his feelings in autotune. Honestly I don't know why im arguing with you, you're probably just gonna turn around and use some shit excuse like "its mumble rap" or something.
- Nah, I respect your opinion and taste. That's the thing about art, you can love or hate it. You love it, and I hate it. Simple as that.
People have their own music tastes and that's okay
- For example, you now have something other than Skrewdriver to listen to.

The song doesn't really glorify Hitler. And the title "architect of the Holocaust" is usually attributed to Adolf Eichmann.

That being said, the song is antisemitic and tasteless. West appears to blame all his personal issues on the Jews, which is deeply pathetic.

The outro is literally a Hitler speech.
- Have you read the translation or do you know German?
- How does that glorify Hitler?
He's been a total nutcase for years. From an outside perspective I can confirm that all of his problems are 100% of his own making.

I'll break it down for you:

He can't have his kids because he doesn't take his medicine, so he tries to get his kids back by becoming a Nazi. Background singers say N***** Heil Hitler for the chorus and then Hitler is saying shit in German at the end. It's pretty bad, has no logic, but does have rhyming words.

If you want to watch it to see how truly shitty it is, here is a nitter link from probably a sketch person. It's not giving traffic to them because it's nitter, not X: https://nitter.net/jakeshieldsajj/status/1920322039056838970#m

Edit: They're scrubbing the internet of this one, I can't even get it to show up on archive. https://archive.is/urjlq

If you want to watch it
Pass, thanks.
Kim had to put her foot down, and started fighting him on custody back in like March, when she found out from North that Ye was bringing the Tate brothers over to hang out with her. I think it was the first time I've ever sided with a Kardashian on anything!
- You're right and I think I know way to much about that family right now. Putting his 11 year old daughter in a video with Diddy too. Source is questionable, but it's quoting other sources.
  Kanye and Kim are locked "in a war" after their eldest daughter, North West, featured on a controversial new song with embattled music mogul P Diddy.
  Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, Kanye wrote over a series of posts, ranting: "Yes I have beef with people that froze my account, took my kids away and have tried to put me in jail and IT'S STUCK ...
X has become such a shithole that they guy under it asks why someone would ever post a song from a black artist. And of course he doesn't say "black".
I'm wondering how long it took to round up enough backup people to chant heil hitler

"Nazi Song Big Hit On Nazi Platform"

I can only think about that Chapelle show skit.

When I think of Chapelle now, I think of the time he had Musk on stage and call his audience poor for booing Musk.
- Also his stupid comedy special about how you can’t make shitty jokes about trans people, which demonstrated that you still can in fact make lots of stupid shitty jokes about trans people and be rewarded for it.

Stop calling him Ye, it’s so cringe and stupid. His name is Kanye West and he’s a black white supremacist

Clayton Bigsby did it better.
Black white supremacy is such a mental gymnastics mind breaker. It's like you're really on the edge in one, but which one is it?
Kanye West is his slave name that he abandoned.
- That’s bullshit. If that were true he would do like Malcolm x and Muhammad Ali and change his name legally. Besides that, why would he wanna be rid of his slave name when he’s a racist Nazi?

Wow so that’s a thing now I guess

Honest question: would this dude fall into an oppressed group that Nazis would target? Seriously. He is not White, German, blue eyed and blonde. Am I missing something other than a likely mental health problem that is causing this dude to write and record such music?

A lot of people during the nazi times supported or identified with Hitler or nazis who were directly a target of nazis. It's crazy how well hate sells.
- It's a self-preservation attempt. It's the same reason bullies amass followers. Appeasing the powerful jerk usually works to prevent being targeted by them.
  However, that would require the powerful jerk to actually value that sort of loyalty.
  It's clear that neither Trump nor Musk feel any kind of obligation to those who've lifted them up. Like many bootlickers across the United States, Kanye over-values his own importance and expects others to view him the same - similar to how many immigrants voted for Trump, thinking that surely they were the exception to all his anti-immigrant rhetoric, all the while refusing to listen to those of us who said they'd be lumped in together regardless.
  People's inability to share another person's perspective has absolutely shredded our social fabric.
He could become an Honorary Aryan under a "useful idiot" kind of deal, though really I think he'd probably be treated like the other African folks owing to the bipolar. He claims he was misdiagnosed bipolar, and instead has autism but in this hypothetical that wouldn't really help.
- As a father with two autistic sons every time I see this irritates the shit out of me just like when the autism claims come out on Elon too. Autism doesn't entitle you to be an insufferable asshole regardless of what you may think. It's insulting to autistic people everywhere.
  My boys are autistic and they know Nazis are evil and Hitler was wrong. They're not racist or sexist or incels or Nazis or bigots or whatever else you throw that is negative because being autistic does not prevent you from being a good person.
  Fuck them and everyone who uses autism as a crutch. Seriously.
- He has money to afford the best doctors in the world. If he has autism, he could get diagnosed.
  And yes, he'd be rounded up on a train and shipped to a camp. How else are the Nazis gonna respond to a black man who proclaims themselves to be the greatest genius who ever lived?
  I think this claim that he's being manipulated, while true, does elide some of the blame on Kanye. There have been plenty of people that have warned him what would happen if he continued down this path.
  I do think it's worth pointing out that antisemitism is surprisingly high among African Americans. Which makes sense since they are disproportionately affected by institutional racism. Theories about globalist banking cabals neatly simplify the complex economic mechanisms by which they are oppressed. Of course, most black people don't then go around claiming that Hitler was right, because most black people are not blinded by mentail illness and hubris into thinking that they know better than the undeniable historical consensus of what happened in 1940s Europe.
- more like a token black guy.
So many people that hate having their faces eaten by leopards support that party anyway
The music industry is exploitative as fuck and this is better than the suicide / overdose / murder they're usually end up doing.
Destroy his public image and stop talking about that guy for everybody's sake
- and this is better than the suicide / overdose / murder they're usually end up doing.
  Bro, what are you talking about "usually"?

This might be nitpicking, but NBC should be more precise.

which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust

Adolf Hitler wanted and ordered the extermination of the Jews and other "undesirables", no doubt about that or his culpability. But the role of "architect", the person who designed the logistics for mass killing, is normally ascribed to other people. Adolf Eichmann, the guy the Mossad captured in Argentinia in 1960, is usually called the "Architect of the Holocaust". Sometimes together with Reinhard Heydrich and Heinrich Himmler.

Hitler was (or rather - wanted to be) an arts major, not a STEM major. He couldn't architect anything.

"We're not Nazis! Elon and Laura Ingram didn't do the salute! Yo did you hear that ye song on TotallyNotNaziland X? So good!"

I don't think this violates Twitter's de facto policies though.

I'm curious how can this guy release a song titled "heil hitler" and still in the news?

Well, Hitler and his views have become very popular in the US.

he stopped taking his BP meds, after his mom died. Kim divorced him over his disorder.
Seemingly went nuts after his mom died.

I read the title and thought it was the onion

Just in case people actually believed Elon's whining that he's total not a Nazi you guys, cut it out wah.

He's become the worst of humanity.

It's not even a good song.

80% of it is him and a crowd of black guys (who may or may not have been AI generated or paid a tonne to get in on the white supremacist grift) chanting "N***a heil Hitler!" The other 20% comes across as some kind of incel or MRA manifesto, where he's whinging about being cancelled and denied access to his kids.

Kanye has well and truly lost the plot. He needs to be detained in a psych ward...

When did he rename himself Ye?

Kanye legally changed his whole name to Ye in 2021.
- Oh.
  I thought it was Ye song as in Ye Olde Song.
- oh okay

why do y'all give him so much attention?? Tf ignore him the fame already got to his head...

A regular measuring of how many dumbfucks there are isn’t news.

I think we should all download it, over and over, let's see if we can get their CDN costs up to a couple mil this month.

hope he will tour in germany soon

to get him locked up for good, i cant stand this waste of attention

I'm puzzled how people are viewing songs.. is that like being so high you can feel the moon?

I did it very carefully. I was in Austria, and there's a non zero chance there could be legal issues
There's this thing called a "music video" in which an artist creates a video to accompany their song
- I should check that out. Give them views. I'll just turn the audio off so I'm only gives them views. /s

Just as many downsides? What makes you reach that conclusion?

That's not what free speech means. Platforms can remove anything they like, it's not a public space and they aren't run by governments.

The dude is clinically sick. Leave him alone

- That said until he is taken out of the public spotlight, it is incumbent on everyone to make it clear that these views are rejected in the strongest possible terms.
  Hear hear. RFK? Clinically sick. Musk is likely clinically sick, or at least on too many drugs to brain right. That doesn't mean they should be "left alone." You don't leave alone until they're deplatformed and powerless. And in Musk's case, made into some strange fruit.
Source?
- Does it look like normal behavior to you believing in jewish illuminatis from the sky or some shit

The song clearly says he was misunderstood and the Heil Hitler is sarcastic. It's still cringe, sad and shows signs of mental illness but I don't see how it's "glorifying Hitler".

The title is literally Heil Hitler. He has repeatedly said "I love Hitler", the song's cover has a swastika on it, he sings "heil Hitler" multiple times. This is glorifying Hitler.
No it doesn't. He says he is mad that all his money and connections can't get his kids back. He said his miss understood on twitter. Then spends the rest of the song saying heil hitler, over, and over, then finishes it off with a clip from one of hitler's most infamous speeches.
This reads "My kids were taken away, it is because people misunderstand me on twitter, I am so angry that I am now a nazi"
You misunderstand sarcasm
- No, you misunderstand the song.

Well, 90% of people like Hitler anyway, so I doubt he will face any consequences.

The fuck?!
This "joke" didn't really land
- It isn't a joke. I met a lot of people, who would actually like to reopen concentration camps (or it's just my local community).
