Can someone quickly explain to me why he is doing this?
Isn't he black? Isn't that against Hitlers fascism anyway?
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!
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.
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.
legit conversation on my friend discord last night
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.
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 🤔
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.
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?
He can afford meds, sadly we can't force him to 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?
You can lead a Kanye to maintenence meds, but you can't make his dumb manic ass take them...
He would have got away with it if he had a car company
Brain damaged troglodyte speed ran a twitch ban. Nice to see that money can't quite buy anything.
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?"
damn too bad he couldn't make it long enough to debate hasan
Wait are we turning twitch into club penguin now?
Relatable, and ya can't blame twitch. I want to expel refuse from my body too.
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.
That's a skill right there
I read the article and I'm having trouble believing this is not the onion.
