While streaming, the rapper performed a Nazi salute and said: ‘Heil Hitler’
legit conversation on my friend discord last night
- hey did everyone see Kanye was on twitch?
- no, I didnt know that, why’d they let him go on?
- oh it wasnt very long, he was only on there for like 10 minutes before he got banned for yelling heil hitler
- oh…
Kanye skipped the lolcow phase and went straight to the horrorcow one.
Superbowl ad of the guy lying in a dentist chair high on nitrious going “Umm, umm, umm” for 40 seconds. the kind of shit thats so stupid you cant look away from.
He should come to Germany and do that here and then we can hear from him from prison for the next 12 months and he will be banned from performing here for the next decade.
But JD Vance says you dont have freedom of speech.
The freedom is there, the consequences too!
Compared to the US, they don’t. 1A protections are extremely broad, to be outside protected speech it practically has to be either CSAM or inciting immediate lawless action.
As in “SLUR should be hanged from trees” is protected under 1A, “Guys, grab that SLUR over there and string him up” is not. CSAM is primarily illegal because production, distribution and even possession further harms the victim of the CSA performed to create it.
Yup, between that and the lack of gun control is no wonder the US is the way it is. On paper, that level of freedom is lovely. In practice it just lets the worst people be violent assholes with zero consequences.
I’ll take the German/Canadian/NZ approach every day!
That’s it, no more guns!
We got freedom of speech. But when it harms people, it isn’t just speech anymore. Cause violence against innocents and you pay the consequences.
I get it.
but the “Free Speech Absolutism” that Vance is talking about, demands the right to call you a N****R without consequences. Or say that you need to be killed because X Y Z.
He would have got away with it if he had a car company
Last month, West made a video featuring him posing in a diamond-encrusted swastika necklace next to infamous white supremacist Nick Fuentes.
I have a good friend who is a jeweler, and loves getting an expensive custom job, which this had to be. You dont just pick up a “diamond-encrusted swastika” at Jared. I wondered what my buddy would do if he was offered such a commission.
And I realized that he’d take it, not because his politics (or musical taste) are in alignment, but I know that he would say “If he wants to pay me a ridiculous amount of money to help him make an idiot of himself in front of the entire world, who am I to deny him?”
The correct response to such a request is “No Nazi bullshit”
I agree, I’d refuse it, but I can’t judge someone who is self-employed, and needs to keep the money rolling in. Traditionally, artists have had to work for wealthy patrons they havent cared for, but that’s the flip side of being an artist, and why the dream is always artistic independence.
Man, the difference is that the swastika sends a message of death. I know, I know, anything could be a message of death.
But some stupid fuck sees that stupid idiot wearing a fucking diamond encrusted swastika necklace, then he will be emboldened next time to harm some innocent person. All because, yes, because of someone willing to take the money. It’s blood money.
That’s a very valid perspective, i agree.
But it seems like if someone is going to be inspired by a diamond-encrusted swatika to commit hate crimes, they were already pretty far down that path anyway. I don’t think the jeweler who is trying feed his family is at fault.
Unless that one commission is standing between them and survival then I think we can say they’re slightly to blame. They’re a part of the problem anyway.
He’s just following the custom order amirite
I can’t wait till this idiot drops dead
Only 30ish years to go!
I’m hoping whatever drugs he’s taking do him in sooner
The detail I enjoyed most about this is that he had fewer than 220 followers at the time of the ban. This suggests that in order for any details on this incident to have got out at all, a decent percentage of his fans in 2025 are actually just journalists waiting for him to do something stupid they can get an article out of.
Is he fkn restarted? Even those “so called master race” people would have punched him in the face if they still existed
Yes
The Black Nazi logic is that
1: they’re primarily anti-semitic 2: the Nazis didn’t oppress black people in Germany.
#2 is actually true, because there weren’t really any black people in Germany. The long term goals are something they don’t pay attention to, as stupid people.
Wait are we turning twitch into club penguin now?
The dud writes songs called “Heil Hitler”, “Hitler Ye and Jesus”, “Free Diddy” and so much more. It is insane
Brain damaged troglodyte speed ran a twitch ban. Nice to see that money can’t quite buy anything.
It could have, but he’s not smart enough to buy the company first.
Current world record holder for Any % Twitch Ban.
I’m sure joining and then immediately starting a stream with your cock out would get you banned faster
only one way to find out!
Hmm 🤔
In other news, Kanye still exists.
I’m not even sure I’ve seen him on the news this year. Gotta stay “relevant” somehow I guess?
I read the article and I’m having trouble believing this is not the onion.
I guess I’m glad Twitch took a side on that?
After Bezos went full nazi on the Washington Post, I have expected the worst of everything Amazon.
Kanye just isn’t subtle enough with his anti-semitism.
I just checked and Hasan is still on the front page of Twitch. So don’t worry, Amazon is still profiting off of anti-semitism.
Hasan isn’t a Nazi. The fuck you on about?
He can afford meds, sadly we can’t force him to take them.
You can lead a Kanye to maintenence meds, but you can’t make his dumb manic ass take them…
Here I am missing my meds and really wishing I could get my brain chemistry back to “normal” but I can’t afford it.
I moved across the country and had more difficulty than expected finding work, so my savings are tapped and my health insurance has not kicked in yet.
I’m not saying anyone should be forced to take meds that could alter their autonomy in any way, that being said, I know I do better and feel better when I have my meds. In life, at work, in personal relationships. I want to take them.
It doesn’t seem fair… hooray for capitalism, huh?
I don’t understand why we can’t force clearly mentally ill people to take their meds. I get hit by a car, I’m unconscious. No one waits to ask me if I want to be taken to the hospital, and even if I refused, they’d say I was in shock and not thinking right. It makes little to no sense to me.
Consent is complicated, when you are taking about everyday people there are times the hospital will use legal tactics to force someone to get treatment, but that’s when it’s treatment or death and they are being stupid, I remember one article about a teenage girl being forced to do chemo and her response to it all afterwords was ‘‘well I was going to eventually get treated I just wanted time to think about it’’ which sounds like the only thing a judge would need to hear to approve the choice to force treatment, but then you have elderly folks with DNRs who are NOT FUCKING AROUND and ignoring those directives to me is pretty sickening, I’ve had grandparents who were ready to die, I’ve never been in my 70s with debilitating health problems, I don’t know what that’s like, but if an adult who’s reached a life expectancy age is ready to die, fuck you, let them die. And when someone like Steve Jobs that let’s a highly treatable cancer kill him because maybe he just needed to drink more wheat grass or some stupid shit, there’s nothing you can do but go ‘‘OK, well, we don’t have to make any follow up appointments now that you’re basically dead.’’ And move on.
Because they make the decision while on the meds and theoretically of sound mind. If you prior to that accident signed a DNR, and they knew about it, they wouldn’t perform certain measures that they otherwise would.
“You can lead a horse to water…”
