He is mentally unwell and has been for a while. Even if what he says is true, he needs help, not a news article covering every unhinged thing he says online.
He's a billionaire, he's got help, and he's had help, he doesn't want any of it.
Fuck him. I'm tired of people making excuses for this Nazi piece of trash as if he was worth saving. There's billions of other people more deserving of help than him.
Yeah, the sad reality is that creatives often refuse to take their meds. They enjoy the creativity that goes along with their mania, and they feel like the meds kill their creative spark. I can almost guarantee he has been medicated in the past, but now refuses to take any meds because he enjoys being manic.
And being manic isn’t simply being happy and elated… It’s in the same category as schizophrenia, because it causes delusions and breaks with reality. And good luck reasoning with someone when they’re delusional; You can’t reason people out of a mindset that they didn’t reason themselves into.
The dude needs serious help, but he’s still a shit-licking Nazi. His decision to refuse meds is an active choice that he makes every day, and conflating his mental illness with naziism is an insult to everyone who does take their meds and is a well-adjusted member of society.
He's been medicated in the past. That being said, I know it's a common belief that mental health medication and coping can make someone no longer creative, this is not based on real things. No one does what they want to do well while they are struggling with mental health problems. Medication doesn't strip people of their skills and abilities. Every creative person will struggle with ''writers block'' ''art block'' whatever you want to call it. There's real ways to get past it, and everyone deals with internal and external pressure in creative fields, like Pete Doctor talking about having a huge crisis of faith in his own work to the point he was sure Pixar was soon to fire him when he's easily more original and productive than any other major name writer/director/animator they've had. Everyone goes through this. But when you real look at a ''troubled artists'' you see the mental health problems got in the way of them being creative not the other way around. Van Gogh was MONTHS away from being a world renowned artist when he committed suicide. Why did he do it? Well I can't say exactly, but he was a man who spend years in mental hospitals, and couldn't paint while in there, maybe he could somewhat, but not like he wanted to. He produced an average of one painting a day for two years straight when he was out of the hospital. He was out because his symptoms were under control and he was free to leave. Not because he was struggling with mental health. And when his symptom were getting worse again after the two years he painted clearly 10+ hours a day, he very likely didn't want to go back to the hospital for who knows how many years? If being unhealthy made him an artistic genius all his famous work wouldn't have come while he was out of the hospital having few symptoms, he wouldn't have been painting when he was well, he would have gotten a job as a mailman or something. No healthy meant he could focus and work. Unhealthy meant he couldn't.
Man, it'd be a shame if anyone actually cared. Too bad he's an actual Nazi though, so fuck him.
I literally lack enough empathy to feel sorry for him now. He needs to go away
is the nazism part of the mental illness though? i can't imagine how but i can't rule out it either, it's reminiscent of a paranoid schizophrenia delusion
Yeah it can be. But it's one of those situations where he probably needs a lot of therapy and time to come to terms with it all.
He's significantly less Nazi when he's on his meds, so it's likely.
Yep. Fuck this guy. There's a limit to sympathy and tolerance because eventually, those become apathy, and now you're just another bystander letting bad shit happen.
Wendy William’s bank has her in a conservatorship.
How does anyone see what he did to his house and think, that man is able to take care of himself?
I’ve heard that some of it is probably NO2 abuse under the care of one of his doctors. I think he started going off the rails after his mother died.
No, you see, Kanye West said [bad thing] and is now intelligible for basic empathy.
Yes it does. And I'm very envious of whoever thinks this that their experience with severe, debilitating mental illness has been so light.
So many MDs around here!
K.West is a nazi, and deserves no respect or empathy.
