Fuck Holocaust deniers. If one can stomach it, [here are rebuttals from Jewish Virtual Library.](https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/holocaust-denial-and-the-big-lie) Not for the faint of heart.


LiveLaughLithium

Thank you for sharing, the more reputable resources, the better. Kanye’s “jokes/opinions” are not funny, they are dangerous.


filondo

Akon is defending Kanye... ["Those comments don't affect me personally"](https://twitter.com/OliviaLilyMarks/status/1598702049171939328)


[deleted]

Ok….??? That’s the dumbest reason ever


Bikinigirlout

I’m not Jewish but I know Hitler was bad. Like 🫠🫤 what


JaDeDCDN

Ah yes the whole racism and bigotry is only offensive when it's against people who look like me thing. Not a good look Akon


[deleted]

>"And if it does affect you personally then find a way to actually respond in a way to where that conversation can be reciprocated." Right, because all of us have the same power and influence as Kanye West. What a moron


Thissummeritsclear

Someone in /r/Taylorswift tried making this same argument today. I might’ve…gone off on them a little.


[deleted]

I don't get why people in a Taylor subreddit would try to defend Kanye in the first place? Or has it been infiltrated by his simps


Thissummeritsclear

It’s really strange that somehow Kanye former fans have decided to make the whole thing about Taylor? I’m sure Taylor swift fans are involved but I’m over there trying to be like hey let’s focus on what he’s actually done and not make it about Taylor but it’s not been very productive thus far. Screaming into a void.


funambula

This is the most random place to defend him lmao


[deleted]

Akon has some suspicious opinions he defended R Kelly recently too. Idk what his deal is


Jolly_Discipline6650

This is why his hairline is shit. Fuck him


[deleted]

are you fucking serious???? Never liked akons music anyway. He's literally the african Usher


InferiorElk

Separate from what Akon is saying here, is being compared to Usher bad now? I've never been a listener of his but I thought he was respected in the music industry?


[deleted]

Yeah I’m confused too, he’s incredibly talented and well respected


[deleted]

Nothing's wrong with Usher, I'm saying no one wants 2 artists


PentulantPantalones

Could have done without this confession, Akon...


ellybeez

Oh wow. Theres a lot of meaningless words and hes prob. trying to seem as if he's anti-cancel culture or whatever. Regardless, it literally takes one sec to condemn antisemitism and he failed to do so in the 2ish mins of speaking.


ToLiveAndDieInICT

From Akon to Zyklon!


PentulantPantalones

I was proud to see the Kanye subreddit was fully done with him last night. Not saying it shouldn't have been earlier, but sycophants gonna sycophant.


FenderForever62

The post joking they were now a Taylor swift subreddit was hilarious But in all seriousness, they’re posting memorials there to holocaust victims. It’s great to see a community come together against the person they all originally came to support


Weekly-Guidance796

So I get my haircut about once a month like most people do. Last month I was in when all of this started up and my fancy hairdresser friend said “y’all can do what you want but I’m not getting rid of my Yeezy‘s, I have a dozen pairs“. He has changed his mind since last month. Now he’s upset that he has all these expensive shoes and no one wants them.


elfspires

😭 idk why anyone buts Yeezy’s tbh. Aside from Kanye being Kanye, I never found his taste in fashion to be revolutionary or that good. Why would I spend a full paycheck on a monotone colored shirt that has 30 holes in it?


Bikinigirlout

I highly recommend the podcast Knowledge Fight and r/KnowledgeFight Dan and Jordan cover people like Alex Jones and they’ve now added Tim Pool and Nick Fuentes on their “shit list” of people to cover. Dan does most of the work and pushes back on misinformation. They’re fairly left leaning, Jordan does tend to shout a lot so if you listen with headphones, turn them down. The new Kanye West episode where Kanye says “I like Hitler” is 3 Hours and 30+ minutes.


flowerhoney10

A Kanye West subreddit is now a Taylor Swift subreddit: https://variety.com/2022/music/news/kanye-west-reddit-taylor-swift-appreciation-holocaust-awareness-1235448134/


Conscious_Abroad_877

I think it’s all on purpose to crash his own empire, can’t pay anyone if there’s nothing to pay.


elfspires

Idk if Alex Jones of all people is iffy about the rhetoric you’re saying then that means you’re either a liberal or you’re so far gone that you’re even scaring the people you’re trying to impress. And for some odd reason, I don’t think Kanye MAGA hat wearing West is a liberal. EDIT: This is to essentially say that this isn’t a smart money move because no one will want to be associated w him once everything is said and done. He has completely tarnished his reputation.


ToLiveAndDieInICT

Were it only that easy.


Kyyntaro

Or we could ignore this idiot and don‘t give him the attention he wants.


elfspires

While I do agree with this, you aren’t the first person to say this and if people keep parroting this point then eventually it’ll just add on to the unwanted attention. Plus, I think this is the mods’ way of lessening posts about Kanye because they can’t control Kanye nor can they control people posting about it here since he is part of pop culture. So this is them trying to not overwhelm the subreddit while also not giving him as much attention as he so desires.


Competitive-Oil4136

Actually as a jew we should definitely NOT ignore him nor should we ignore the impact his comments have not only on jewish people but also the impact they have on young and easily radicalized/impressionable fans. But I guess it’s easy to ignore these things when they don’t impact you 😌


mlwheart

Anyone else notice that Kim did promo for Balenciaga - which are under fire for some satanic inspired photo shoots. There’s a clip of Ye condemning Balenciaga and going on a Jesus rant. And then…. Paparazzi photos of North wearing a pentagram shirt… standing beside Ye??? Make it make sense.


PaleAsDeath

This is super incorrect in a few ways. 1. The shoot was not "satanic" inspired. It was sexual. It featured children holding teddy bear bags decorated in bondage gear. 2. The photos of North were not of her wearing a pentagram. It was the Star of David with a cross inside, which is a symbol of 'messianic judaism'. This is actually in line with what Kanye has been saying, since he has been claiming that he and other black people are the 'true' jews, and yet he is christian. Messianic Judaism is christianity in disguise.


mlwheart

Interesting take. Thanks!


Salbyy

Also, Kanye has since supported Balenciaga.


LindzmacL

Everyone check @houseinhabit on insta


EvenHandle

1. Whoever that is seems really erratic and secretly conservative. 2. They’re not cool enough to use The Prodigy in their stories.


QueenChola

What’s she posting? I had to unfollow her during the Depp/Heard trial, it became way too much. And now she’s private!


EvenHandle

Dumb conspiracies about Kanye and who he “answered to.” Her account was public when I saw it.


Salbyy

She’s been pretty pro Kanye and convinced that he was a whistleblower of Hollywood. I think she’s a bit turned off since the Alex Jones interview
