Why does anyone take what this guy’s said seriously?
I think Kanye’s pretty neatly burned through the bulk of his fan base by now. I’m sure there are some people who haven’t been paying attention and only got the meta-conversation about censorship. And I’m sure there are the regular trolls and weirdos who will latch on to any high profile reactionary with a martyrdom complex. But he’s a far cry from his celebrity peak.
He’s obviously mentally ill
He always was. But sort of like George Lucas going off the rails once he had full creative control, Kanye’s skyrocketing status has resulted in him being swamped by Yes-Men who exist to feed his own bloated ego. This is what happens when people see themselves as inherently superior to everyone around them. He’s living in his own little bubble of reality. And he’ll keep living in it until he runs out of money and it pops.
