He is also bipolar. Not defending what he says, but there is an underlying issue which he struggles to control. |  | |  |

At the same time, plenty of people have tried to help him, and he has enough money to get the best healthcare money can buy. You can't just handwave away anti-Semitism because he's bipolar. Plenty of people with bipolar manage it. |  |

As said, not defending what he is saying, just pointing out that distilling him down to just being a douchebag might not be helping. I would suggest there are lot more people around him at the moment poking him with a stick to see what happens than there are people helping him. |  | |  |

'“But is West crazy? You can judge for yourself as you watch what we’re about to show you. He has his own ideas, we can say that. Creative people tend to. That’s why they’re artists, not actuaries.

I wouldn't call it underlying in reference to anti-semitism or any of the things he's said. Bipolar doesn't cause that kind of bigotry. He may have bipolar, but he's still a pr1ck. |  |

No he hasn’t. And the fact that they still haven’t dropped him after his outrageous statement is utterly appalling. I’ll be boycotting adidas and I suggest anyone who cares about racism does the same. If they were still our kit suppliers then I’d be email the club as well. Well done Boy George BTW. Edit. Also, please sign this petition. [Post edited 24 Oct 2022 9:15]

The right decision but it took far too long and a lot of pressure from others for adidas to get here. |  |

Don't forget his new campaign logo This is taken from Raelism but I doubt he cares / knows where the symbol comes from, just that it's the Star of David with a Swastika in it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%ABlism Thankfully even free speech absolutist Musk realises this isn't a particularly good look and bans him temporarily. I imagine all the other absolutists won't be happy about that. |  |

Don't think you'll need to worry about cancelling him, can't see any credible broadcaster giving him a platform after that. Musk reinstated his twitter ban, even Alex Jones looked uncomfortable with the madness. It is over. Forget the talk about his bipolar, I think it is quite clear that he has lost all grasp of reality and is now a danger to himself. I find it quite sad as someone that has been a fan of his music since the beginning, particularly as a lot of people are revelling in his insanity. The things he said are vile, but worth remembering that they occurred in an appearance where he also held up a child's fishing net, did a weird voice and laughed manically. He isn't the first celebrity to completely lose their mind, and won't be the last. Ultimately I feel sorry for him. He has clearly pushed away all the good influences in his life and is incapable of helping himself at this stage. His words have no weight, only someone that already denies the holocaust would see his words as credible, and even they might struggle with some of it. |  |

I'm unfortunately familiar with Nick Fuentes and the "Groypers". They're just getting more "mask-off" than they used to be. They've been sowing the seeds for years to get their ideas more mainstream, I've talked about it on here for a few years now about the radicalisation of young men starting from places like 4chan and 8chan and spreading. You start with people like Trump and Bannon, and it's a very slippery slope to these vermin. Horrible "Christian" nationalists. |  |

I'm sure there are plenty of white racists, neo-Nazis etc who have mental health issues - like you say it can't just be a catch all phrase to defend people |  |

Sadly, the internet allows such people and such bile to find a platform, whatever sanctions might be applied. The more worrying thing is the number of people (and it runs into the tens or even hundreds of millions) taken in by it all. I might add that my neighbour has clearly tapped into some of the websites etc supporting Trump etc or concerning things like Covid, and comes out with the most disturbing or bizarre stuff, which no rational human being really ought to believe.
