    “And Gay people are controlled by Bill Gates so that they don’t have children for population control.”

    He ain’t right.

      No it’s true. Bill Gates gave me $50, or put a chip in my COVID vaccine, or something and told me not to have kids and I was like, “oh, yeah cool.” Don’t pay any attention to the many, many gay and lesbian couples who have children, and the many straight couples that don’t. Me and Kanye know the real truth.

      Seriously though, I wish that man would stay on his meds. I feel bad for his kids. They deserve a dad who’s stable and not super into Hitler.

          God damn it. There goes that incredibly sensible plan to reduce the population by getting a very small minority not to have babies. Sorry, Bill!

      Kanye is prone to severe mania with psychosis at best, but more likely schizoaffective disorder. His thoughts are not based in reality

      He’s bipolar and that’s definitely more sad than anything. Homie needs help and support…

        Nah, sorry. I’m going with my favorite podcaster’s take on this: mental health is not your fault, but it is your responsibility. Kanye is bipolar, and unmedicated, both of these things are true. However, that doesn’t mean we should simply ignore or excuse his comments as “well he’s still in a manic state.” He knows what he’s saying, he’s backed it up and doubled down when confronted on it.

          Yes obviously, I’m not condoning what he did and said. He’s very obviously mentally ill, I’m just pointing out that it’s sad and he needs professional help.

    Donda Academy, West’s private and unaccredited Christian school in Ventura County, Calif

    I want to believe he isn’t using this as some kind of fucked tax-exempt shell company, but I know how the world works…

    Dude was never a genius, he just played people. He used his “good Christian” fake attitude to rizz everyone up then when he got too big for his little britches he let his real self out behind the scenes until it became the actual scene and here we are.

      It’s a little different, they just mean that Kanye compared himself to Hitler. It’s not like someone pointing the finger and saying “He’s literally Hitler!”

      edit: the full quote is “I am on some complete Hitler level stuff. Minus the gas chambers.”

      Disagreeing with you and agreeing with him are two different things. You are advocating for the sterilisation of people and their kids because of bad life choices.

        Not exactly. His school costs $15,000 a year and advocates his asshole beliefs. So what will these children grow up to become? Little Ben Shapiros? I’m good.

        I’m not saying kill the kids. I’m just saying stop them from producing more idiots.

          Practicing eugenics on children because of their parents decisions is disgusting. Doing it on anyone involuntarily is not a good look (putting it lightly).

          Mike Judge showed us what will happen in the future if they do. I, personally, don’t wanna be part of Idiocracy

          Basing it on a movie… shows your unhingement from reality.

          Edit: consider this: if your parent murdered someone, would you be okay with being sterilised because they did something abhorrent and may have passed it down to you?

          Double edit: even though I think Shapiro is a prick, I would not wish for him and other people I do not like the rhetoric of to be sterilised either. Do you actually think he should be removed from the gene pool?

        Beyond the eugenics and general elitism, my least favorite thing about Idiocracy is that most of its fans seem to think they’re the poor, outbred geniuses when the reality is they just can’t get laid.

        Terry Crews can only carry the burdens of that movie so far.

          Idiocracy is a fascinating movie. The first time i remember it being mentioned online, people were like: haha people are stupid and getting dumber. A few years later when Idiocracy was mentioned, the notion was: actually you didn’t understand the movie, the movie is about mediocrity and people laugh about the dumb people are stupid. Then for two or three years now we seem to be back at: haha the movie is funny because people are getting dumber. But i already see a shift in the Idiocracy force.

      Out-naziing the Nazis is a bold move.

      Complaining about downvotes is a bitch move.

      Also, the reason people don’t like your idea is because it’s draconian eugenics trash.
