Yes appearance on far-right conspiracy-theory outlet InfoWars quickly turned into a chance to preach antisemitic hatred on Thursday, as the star formerly known as Kanye West praised Adolf Hitler within the first thirty minutes of the broadcast.
Ye, whose face was entirely hidden behind a black mask, began praising the genocidal German dictator soon after the broadcast began. Ye began to commend Hitler after InfoWars host Alex Jones tried to defend the rappers recent streak of antisemitic statements.
....
Well, I see good things about Hitler, Ye said, later adding: Every human being has value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler.
Jones repeatedly tried to steer Ye away from supporting Hitler. But Ye, who dined at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump last week, insisted on complimenting the murderous regime behind the Holocaust.

(11,767 posts)West has nowhere to go except further down the path of extremism. Any attempt to turn back will require a complete admission of either his derangement and being wrong, along with a need to completely repudiate the views he has been espousing the last several months, or years.
That would mean admitting he was acting stupid and was wrong. For someone that has gained fame by being controversial, that means a death basically. The death of a persona of edginess and "truth telling". We won't know if he is being honest or not. For someone with such a fragile ego as West, that would be tantamount to just laying down to die.
He will flame out soon. It will be difficult to get any lower in terms of acceptability than Fuentes and Jones. There are others out there I am sure, who are even lower, but they are not as well known and there isn't any real value in West using their platforms to spew his garbage since West would have more pull then the lower tiers of stupid racists.

(23,657 posts)And beyond the Hitler praise, he's repeating over and over that the "Zionists" control everything. This dude is saying the quiet part out too loudly for Republicans. He's not extreme, he's just giving voice to what the GOP is saying quietly.

Hitler would have sent West to the death camps of course. Blacks were classed with Jews and Romanis as the lowest and most evil races, and Hitler was already busily exterminating the other two. That any blacks survived the Nazis has to be because there were so extremely few of them and others were higher priority. The only possible, but extremely unlikely, alternative would have been enslavement.
To West's "good" and very ambitious Hitler, Germany's Aryans were the master race at the top of a hierarchy of races, and all other humans, including non-Aryan white Europeans, belonged to various subhuman mongrel races, with, again, blacks, Jews and gypsies at the bottom. Some of the white races were to be kept and enslaved to serve the Aryans, but all the rest exterminated. Including mix-race unfortunates.

(58,785 posts)Wrong religions. Hitler approved Christianity but reportedly was establishing his own (only true) denomination. I've been waiting to see if some Christian nationalist group pays tRump enough to put his name on their Bible.
