kanye west summed up in 30 seconds

kanye west is what happens when you have a limitless cash supply, are ensconced in a bubble of freakish sycophants, and get all your information from watching youtube, netflix and joe rogan. just total deranged bullshit oozing out of your mouth
"YO GET THIS ELON MUSK IS LIKE MY HERO BRO HE INVENTED ELECTRIC CARS. IM LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON, IM MAKING THRILLER. TESLA WAS LIKE THE ORIGINAL GOD. STEVE JOBS IS MY FATHER. YO HE MADE THE IPHONE BRO. IM THE DEADPOOL FOR GOD" holy shit shut the fuck up you fucking dumb bitch
kanye west needs someone in his life to tell him to shut the fuck up. that's it. he needs someone to grab him by the fucking collar, and yell into his dumb fucking face "SHUT THE FUCK UP"
he needs to get someone smart, knowledgeable and grounded like marc lamont hill to be with him 24/7 and do that as necessary, so that over time the deranged shit is filtered out and he only says the useful stuff in a way that's coherent. but of course he won't. he loves this shit
kanye's mind is the most simplistic form of Great Man History manifested. he looks at everything through that idealist lens. that's why he constantly talks about tesla, musk, jobs, disney, da vinci, and thinks the prime mover in history is individual genius. bourgeois idealism
imagine if instead of jerking off to wiki factoids about tesla's personal life he took a course in the history and philosophy of science at whatever university he wants, which he has the ability to do, and actually learned something. now that would be truly "paradigm shifting"
or just read a fucking book in the field. kuhn's "structure of scientific revolutions", schaffer & shapin's "leviathan and the air-pump", latour's "laboratory life" and "the pasteurization of france". any good social history on da vinci and other artists. there's so much material
instead he's watching blade runner for the hundredth time on his personal imax screen. because again, that's what happens when you have a limitless supply of cash and are ensconced in a bubble full of freakish sycophants

I love cornel west and consider him one of the greatest thinkers around, but this has to be said: his "lesser evilism" position, which he adhered to in 2004, 2008, 2012 and again now in 2020, *but explicitly did not in 2016 when he endorsed jill stein*, makes no fucking sense
if you're going to claim you're basing your position on a principle, you have to be actually principled. you can't just say "yeah ok I had a personal hatred of hillary so it didn't apply there but for everyone else you definitely have to vote for the lesser evil!" that's bullshit
it's even more egregious bc hillary clinton was actually to the left of biden, however marginally. one of the reasons west cited for not backing hillary was bill clinton's crime bill. *biden authored the bill*. his foreign police is as hawkish if not more. there's no excuse

evolution of right-wing and liberal bogeyman caricature of the left to divert attention from structural critiques of capitalism to culture war bullshit:

Kulturbolschewismus

⬇️

Political Correctness

⬇️

Social Justice Warriors

⬇️

Cultural Marxism

⬇️

Critical Race Theory
these function as empty signifiers, denoting contradictory, purely mythical things: the "sjw cultural marxists" dominate all major institutions in society, while simultaneously being weak, coddled, loser snowflakes who don't dare come out of their "safe spaces"
that's because the bogeyman caricature has to fulfil the double function of instilling fear and terror, while also being impotent and on the verge of collapse. all that's required is for The West, The Civilized, The Masculine, The White, The Bourgeoisie to stand up and fight it

biden is up in all the polls, it's almost impossible he'll lose, but every lefty content-creator is coming out with "OMG YOU HAVE TO VOTE FOR HIM, OMG OMG" statements, even though it has literally zero impact on the actual outcome. why? as I said months ago, it's brand security
meanwhile professional media and political class liberals with huge platforms actually capable of affecting the election, both in the US and UK, were hysterically calling corbyn the second coming of hitler up to the last second of election day. "lesser evilism" didn't matter then
I remember a well-known cambridge history professor coming out on twitter saying he'll vote labour because that was the only other option and he wanted to prevent a tory government. deranged liberal cunts swarmed his mentions and a day later he recanted and said he'd vote lib dem

yesterday starmer, ignoring opposition by unions and the left, ordered labour mps to abstain on the "spy cops" CHIS bill, which allows police and other state agents to infiltrate activist groups and unions, and rape and murder anyone they like without being held criminally liable
the bill passed, and socialist mps resigned from the shadow cabinet over it, defying starmer's order to abstain. let me be absolutely clear: keir starmer and the labour party leadership support mass rape, torture and murder by the state. starmer is a rape apologist and supporter
to get a sense of just how depraved the professional media class is: starmer, who literally supports rape, torture and murder by state agents, is treated as some right honorable gentleman, whereas corbyn, who of course voted against this grotesque bill, was called hitler 2.0

"woke sjws today would have been nazis" is indeed a jordan peterson-level deranged take. btw, the lobster boys recognize one of their own, but many so-called "leftists" are still bewildered. "lol these are just fortune cookie tweets, plus she's black and gender nonconforming!" Image
one of the most common and idiotic talking points on the right is "LOL BUT SJWS AGREE WITH MOST PEOPLE ON RACISM BEING BAD THOUGH". yes, most people think *explicit* racism is bad due to decades of activism. that's not a reason to go "wellp, better go nazi to be truly rebellious" Image
I typically don't like the logicbro move of pointing out logical fallacies, but this stares you right in the face, so much so you must be a lying grifter to not acknowledge it: just bc group X also believes Y does not make Y false/bad. Y can be "nazis are bad" or "gravity exists"

candace owens and blexit trending is a good occasion to share malcolm x's great analysis of what they are but the contemporary iteration of, a type that's existed since the days of slavery, using one's blackness to prop up white supremacy for personal gain
see also this great clip by brother malcolm, where he discusses the profound self-hatred that underlies candace owens' and the blexit grift

and see this clip for dave chappelle totally destroying candace owens
