Kanye West has been sued and dropped by his talent agency after he posted a stream of antisemitic abuse, put T-shirts with a swastika on sale in his online shop, and was alleged to have described himself as Hitler to a Jewish employee.
Last week West, also known as Ye, wrote a barrage of antisemitic posts on X including, “I’m a Nazi … I love Hitler”.
The swastika T-shirt was placed for sale on the website of his fashion brand Yeezy, with the product line “HH-01”, assumed to be code for “Heil Hitler”.
Shopify, the company that provided the online platform for Yeezy, has now taken the store offline, stating: “All merchants are responsible for following the rules of our platform. This merchant did not engage in authentic commerce practices and violated our terms.”
I have some bad news for Yeezy. Nazis
weren’taren’t very fond of brown people either.Or the mentally ill…
Which is really ironic if you consider sociopathy to be a mental illness.
Nah, because that’s just Antisocial Personality Disorder, which basically boils down to trusting your own judgement over society’s.
That can be very bad, or very good.
Like, Harriet Tubman put her own values over society’s laws, so she broke a shit ton of laws with zero remorse. Hard to say she had a mental illness. But her actions we celebrate today, met a lot of the diagnosing criteria.

It’s just human variation, but it’s likely incredibly undercounted because regardless of if the person is more on the “good” or “bad” side, they all think they have a better line of thinking than society. And fuck man. Take a look around.
Society as a whole isn’t doing too hot lately, it’s a pretty low bar to say you trust your own morals than society’s.
