It's so fucking weird how he came out as a nazi and yet he like voyeuristically shows off his wife naked to the whole world. Not something you'd associate with the trad lifestyle, unless Kanye is the synthesis of trad and gooner all in one?

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Probably because he's not a "trad" guy at all? He's never really said anything about preserving conservative values, hell AFAIK he's never even said anything against queer people. He's basically just gone super hard on this power fantasy where he is in a crusade against Jewish people, the media, and everything he perceives to be holding him down. Fascists around him probably have put some other generically regressive ideas in his head, and I have no doubt he's a misogynist (see the SA allegations against him). But he's not exactly the bog standard "trad" fash, not even some of the variations of that ideology that are more common among Black people.

I can't believe this is an actual wikipedia page but here we are.

Average swing state voter type ideology

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

That makes sense, ty.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah he's also sort of trad with it. Christian, women should be subservient, don't wear skimpy clothes (but also I wanna see you in a thong), that sort of stuff. Incoherent like all the others, but more obviously so

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

Has he said that outside of Jesus is King/interviews in that time? Because otherwise, his whole career he's been a porn addicted ogler who is notorious for some egregiously objectifying lyrics in a genre that's already desensitized to that.

He's currently probably in an unmedicated severe manic episode, I don't expect coherence out of that. Honestly, this probably seems like someone more well read and less tired than I could make a comparison to a philosopher named Fredrick N (because I can't spell his last name and I'm not going to try) and the concept of the Ubermensch. In Freddie's philosophy, religion has no place and the Ubermensch takes the place of an idol (forgive me if I'm bastardizing Fred's work). I wouldn't be surprised if Kanye sees himself as an Ubermensch and worships himself to a degree (especially during his manic episodes) and sees no contradiction or sees no issue with contradictions. If he's operating off the axiom "I am superior", that implies "my opinions are superior", which in turn justifies any discrepancy with fascist orthodoxy.

He raps about not wanting his daughter to be sexualised and how he's a changed man, while getting head in public. Guy fucking sucks

He's a trad-gooner.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

finkelstein was correct about gooners.

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

His boomer intuition worked out on that one

May I have a crumb of context, good madam?

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Apparently from this video, can't speak to the quality of it's contents or the uploader.

Guy who did a video with naked wax figures of taylor swift among others in hella creepy fashion on some pretentious artsy bullshit and used Kim's sex tape as bullying technique to his employees? Naaaaah he couldn't be a gooner
