Kanye West had announced that he would release an album tonight. Kanye was previously a very popular hip hop artist, who destroyed his career by saying "I love Hitler" on Alex Jones show. Kanye has since expressed many far-right political beliefs and collaborated with white supremacist figures.

I checked his twitter today to see if he had actually released the album. I'm worried that if his music becomes popular again, his music will further normalize fascist ideology. Instead, I see that he is trying to sell foldable shoes "on presale", not manufactured yet. This is a funnier outcome than I could have predicted.

Kanye stans are the biggest suckers on the planet.

Poor Kanye, he's going to feel really embarrassed about all this when he goes back on his medication.

This feels like a cheap shot, the bad thing about Kanye isn’t his struggle with bipolar

I agree, I just don't think he's going to be the same person once he gets sorted out. All this devolution we've seen with him really feels like someone who's out of sync, like either he switched to meds that aren't working or his old combo stopped working (or he's off them altogether), but he's public enough that we're watching the devolution live.

Before all this he was just an arrogant narcissist, which was probably a cover, but showing up on Alex Jones wearing a complete mask while being open that it's you is the epitome of nonsensical behaviour.
