I don't understand how there can be black people in favor of Hitler. How do they rationalize praising someone who would have genocided them?

History lessons in the US focus on the Jewish victims of the Holocaust to the exclusion of all others. Plenty of people don't know that gay, trans, leftist, or non-white people were genocided.

Even white people. Slavs for instance. Anyone considered crippled. Political enemies.

My mom's uncle, white Norwegian, was put in a Nazi camp during WWII. History lesson.

He got inspired by the Black Hebrew Israelites, a pseudo-religous group that believes african americans are decendents of jews.

If I recall correctly from his infowars Interview (or somewhere else around that time), he came to the conclusion that since he's a jew, he gets to decide if hitler was a good guy or not. It didn't make much sense and I don't recall why exactly he came to the conclusion that he as a good guy, but I think he said something like "There's only love, so he cant be a bad guy".

It's possible he thinks black americans are the real jews, that hitler was doing a good thing with killing imposters.

In the case of Kanye... fell astoundingly far down the antisemitic conspiracy rabbit hole.

Before he went turbo-mega-ultra Hitler fanbo1 on Alex Jones... he was saying a lot of shit about how the entire entertainment industry was run by a cabal of Jews who secretly fucked over himself and other black artists in particular.

... He completely lost his mind in this process and has arguably been having the world's longest sustained, continuous, psychotic break (I think he's been far more obviously just unhinged bonkers for longer than Elon?).

He legitimately hated and hates Jews so much that the actual Hitler stuff came afterward.

How does he rationalize that Hitler would absolutely have killed every Black or African descended person he could, that he switched from being inspired by American rascism to calling the US a 'mongrelized' people, because of American society's multiracial makeup, interracial marriage etc?

Easy: He's completely insane and legitimately should be in a room with padded walls.

Logic? Reason?

404 error.

...

Have you ever tried to convince an unmedicated, manic schizophrenic that... the things they are saying just fundamentally do not make sense, at a basic grammatical level, that their mind invents things that did not happen?

Yeah, doesn't go so well.

Mental illness isn't a skin color.

[–] minnow@lemmy.world 21 points 22 hours ago

Basically, cognitive dissonance. They simply refuse to believe the truth, and make up their own fantasies in which everything is backwards from reality. It makes them feel like they have some power over their life, and/or that they're special.

99% of the time people like this are just deeply freaked out at the idea of a cold uncaring universe with nobody in control.

Their where Jews that helped the Nazi’s early on. They seen themselves as the good Jews.

From the article:

In February, Friends actor David Schwimmer called on Musk to ban Kanye West from X after he made a series of antisemitic posts.

Schwimmer called on Musk, the owner of X, to remove West from the platform. “This is so 2022,” said Schwimmer. “We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate-filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr Musk.”

Bold of Schwimmer to assume Musk in any way disagrees with Ye's views.

Elon is not just holding the megaphone, he's actively cranking up the volume dial.

I find it strange that David Schwimmer made a public plea for decency when it was about anti-semitism but not for any of the rest of the hateful shit projectile-blasted around that echo chamber.

Was he ever on them, in recent years?

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 15 points 21 hours ago

Not since his mom died.

You can see a very tangible drop in cognition around the production and release of The Life of Pablo. Pretty sure he's been unmedicated since then.

I've only ever seen his tweets and people quoting him in articles but watching him speak for 7 minutes is eye opening. I cannot follow a single thing he says. It's just a non-stop stream of consciousness rambling with an occasional "hail hilter" and "I sucked my cousin's dick".
