    This is what mental illness looks like. I hope he gets the help he needs and not the enablers that might end his life :/

      He may be mentally ill, but during these episodes he always goes to this Nazi shit. I think the mental illness just unmasks what he really feels.

        I mean at least he seems to realize in the full thread saying this shit is problematic, as opposed to just blurting it out completely unqualified per usual. Not making excuses, at the end of the day fuck Kanye, but this seems a very fine hair more sane than usual.

        Maybe I am just reading into it weird, granted it’s Ye so weird is the only way it can be read shrug

      Mental illness doesn’t make people nazis, just like mental illness doesn’t make people mass shooters, that’s simply not how it works.

        Hmmm, I seem to remember there’s a mental illness that causes one to randomly spout the most vile shit they can think of. Begins with a T?

        Can you see where I’m going with that? In any case, illness can certainly make people violent. Look at Alzheimer’s for example. Hell, look at Charles Whitman. He knew something was wrong with him, and getting worse. After he was shot out of the clock tower they autopsied and found a brain tumor.

          You… you aren’t trying to imply Tourette Syndrome, right? Because that’s not how Tourette’s works, like, at all. I would know, because I have it.

          In reality, we have a set of “tics”, which are just small noises or motions we make uncontrollably. Of course, for some people it’s more severe, but the worst I’ve ever heard about is that some people may yell out swear words as one of their tics. But In no circumstance would it ever cause someone to type out and post “I’m a nazi” or “I love hitler”.

            My late son had Tourette syndrome as well. Normally he had his physical and small verbal tics, but he also would get the bad word tics, I think it is called Coprolalia. But he literally never tweeted the stuff.

            He must have watched that one South Park episode and thought Cartman actually had Tourette’s 😂

      He’s never going to get the help he needs. The only thing keeping him alive is his wealth. If he was a normal guy he’d be in prison or dead already.
