Singer and business empire owner Kanye West is one of the most controversial figures in the world. He’s a rapper in an industry that generally leans very much to the left, yet he’s a conservative. His Christian views are confusing to some, including many fellow Christians. And he’s never afraid to speak his mind on stage, through social media, or during interviews.
But even someone like “Ye” is not immune to cancel culture and it just hit him in a big way. He now has until next month to move his financial empire out of JP Morgan Chase banks. According to friend and conservative pundit Candace Owens:
"Earlier today I learned that @kanyewest was officially kicked out of JP Morgan Chase bank. I was told there was no official reason given, but they sent this letter as well to confirm that he has until late November to find another place for the Yeezy empire to bank."
Though they gave no reason, let’s face it. The reason is clear. Between wearing a “White Lives Matter” shirt at recent events and going on Tucker Carlson to rant about pretty much everyone, the reason he’s being booted by his financial organization is because he’s not “woke” enough as a Black rapper. The radical left and the globalist elite cabal fear conservatives, but they especially fear successful minorities like Kanye West who don’t use their platforms to attack the right.
“death con 3” was the last straw.
Well his stupid Jew comments didn’t help. Brilliant but very unstable dude.
Oh, so he deserves this?
Canceling account holders on a whim like this is a great way to further erode faith in our banking system.
But you have to bake the gay wedding cake.
Macro and micro. banking is a position of trust in a community. We cut off Russia from the swift system. We confiscated assets. We taught the entire world not to trust American banks. Now they are pushing the same lesson on normal people. Your politics decide whether or not you can have a bank account. This is the old corporate government partnership, Mussolini called it fascism or corporatism
Many people think it's not a crime for a bakery to reject same-sex couple wedding cake orders. You know, free enterprise and capitalism.
If so, why is this faith-eroding?
How can a bank kick you out if you’re not a convicted criminal? That’s crazy?
Power.
Continued consolidation of power.
Compliance.
Subservience.
Price if you don’t:
Jail.
Prison.
FBI raids your house in full gear.
Censorship.
Job threatened or lost.
Banking account(s) blocked.
Credit cards blocked.
Unable to get a loan.
I am sure I am missing others.
JP Morgan doesn't have to do business with him. Of course they are fine and dandy doing business with MDs and hospitals that hack breasts and penises off children, which shows you how insane this nation is. Kanye should probably stay on his meds to avoid such hassles. But this was an unforced error. He didn't "misgender" someone or some other anti-woke move. He said insane things about Jews, without any reason aside from an unstable and paranoid mind.
He is bi-polar . He obviously is off his meds
Yup. It is unacceptable.
I wonder if he can sue?
Off his meds or not this is America and he has the right to say whatever in the hell he wants WITHOUT being cancelled by his bank OMG!! We are living in China now!! I one week PayPal has decided to fine $2500.00 to anyone who doesn’t conform, TODAY BofA cancels Cattard, Chase cancels Kanye West, Mike Lindell’s bank canceled him about a month ago these banks need to LOSE their FDIC insurance!!!
As Woke institutions cancel anyone and everyone not Woke without notice or stated reason sooner or later there will be backlash.
Not saying Kanye is a specific catalyst, just taking the opportunity to comment on the growing trend of Woke companies canceling without notice people and companies not Woke.
Sooner or later, institutions will arise that will provide services to those canceled.
The Universe hates a vacuum. A need unfulfilled will be fulfilled. And, if the Canceled outnumber the Woke those fools will eventually suffer their stupidity.
Not remotely similar. Banks are gov’t regulated. Bakeries are artisans.
Because one will get sued to oblivion and the other gets a free pass.
