This isn’t mental illness, this is a Nazi.
Oh no it is. West has iirc quite severe schizophrenia, and he's not taking his meds for them due to paranoia (the meds are "stifling his creativity" you know).
He wasn't a Nazi before. Since he's off his meds, he turned total Nazi. And iirc in the brief time where he started taking his meds again he apologised for some of the Nazi stuff. And now he's off them again so it's Nazi o' clock.
Seems very causally related tbh.
Have you any inkling how incredibly insulting it is to imply that schizophrenics are prone to be Nazis? For the record, no, schizophrenia does not cause Nazi sympathies, and indeed the Nazis sought to murder every schizophrenic they could find.
He is a Nazi. He may have not been one before, but he is now. This is independent of his diagnosis. He has always been an egotist piece of shit. I understand that is seen as a boon in the rap community so he has been indulged, and has chosen to go further.
