Kanye West was having a great weekend, until he wasn’t. One moment, the rapper-producer-entrepreneur was dispensing pearls of pseudo-philosophy on Twitter to the retweets of adoring observers. The next, many of those same admirers had turned to denouncing him instead. Oh, and he had become an alt-right darling. Whatever West is going through at the moment, the response to his Twitter spree reveals more about the people who have fled from him — and those who’ve flocked to him, too.
West’s fortunes reversed when he expressed his admiration on Saturday for red-pill YouTuber Candace Owens, an African American Donald Trump supporter known for, among other things, referring to Black Lives Matter protesters as “whiny toddlers, pretending to be oppressed for attention.” The following day, he tweeted nine videos from Scott Adams, who gained his fame first for creating the cartoon “Dilbert” and second for proclaiming that rape is a “natural instinct” of men and society a “virtual prison for men’s natural desires.”
It’s easy to cast West as just another lost man seduced by the far right’s promise to provide a sense of purpose. All that pseudo-philosophy does suggest a preoccupation with the sort of existential problems figures such as psychologist Jordan Peterson, who has become a surprise lifestyle guru, claim they can solve. It’s also possible to connect West’s eccentric behavior on Twitter — this isn’t the first time his forays into politics have discomfited some fans — to the mental-health struggles that led to his 2017 hospitalization.

OH NOES a black man getting off the Democrat plantation..that is a giant NO NO in Commie land cant have that
HAHAHAHA Anyone who is off the plantation nowadays is “alt-right.”
Free, independent thought NOT ALLOWED.
You knew the Compost would have to spew some hate his way.
That cotton-picking Kanye right Molly? Left his work and walked away!
The pile-on is just getting started. Don't look back and don't ever apologize!
Ha! The Communist Post
Don’t get too excited, they’ll pull him back soon enough and then beat him.
Bet on it, the Left are just like Adolphs friggin Nazii scum. This renegade can not be allowed to prosper. They may even kill him to shut him down.
Just because he likes the President....it’s amazing what has happened to this country.
Kim is tweeting that Kanye doesn’t have mental health issues. http://perezhilton.com/2018-04-25-kim-kardashian-defends-kanye-west-twitter-behavior-pro-donald-trump-stance?ph_header=perezhilton
A man is brilliant if he agrees with Leftists.
If he doesn’t agree with Leftists, he’s ignorant.
Obama agreed with the Left and didn’t really accomplish much as an educated man. None the less he is considered brilliant by the Left. Every word that exits his mouth is essentially beatified (if folks will grace this in to the true definition, granted to be somewhat askew to this concept).
His words are considered as if from God.
Donald Trump on the other hand accomplished a great deal with his education. He was very successful, and learned the “Art of the Deal”. He’s using it right now on our behalf, and some of his accomplishments are startlingly unexpected. For the Left they aren’t just unexpected, they are absolutely denied or shunned. Trump not being a Leftist, his ideas, his goals, and his accomplishments cannot be acknowledged. It would serve to contrast with Leftist ideas, goals, and lack of accomplishments. One might add catastrophes into that list when it comes to the Democrats.
Poor Kayne. He made the mistake of backing someone on the Right. I’m confident Kayne and I don’t share the same views on a number of issues, the point being that he is still probably a Leftist on some issues. If he thinks that will help him, as he ventures into support for Trump, that will be graced into Leftist acceptance, he better think again.
Once you’ve voiced support for the Great Satan, the Ayatollahs of the Leftist movement in the United State will calla a Fatwa or Jihad against you.
Kayne, you may not be the great Satan to them, but you’re at least his step-son.
Good luck. I appreciate your support for some of Trump’s policy. I might appreciate more than I realize about your views, if I knew them better.
Thank you, for what I can agree with.
Kanye shows a willingness to think for himself beyond the Marxist shackles of the Hollywood elite and look how they attack him !
I admire him for managing to break free of the echo chamber and have an honest look at the Trump Presidency.
To the media trying to demonize my husband let me just say this… your commentary on Kanye being erratic & his tweets being disturbing is actually scary. So quick to label him as having mental health issues for just being himself when he has always been expressive is not fair

Yesterday it was announced that Kanye had parted ways with some business people and media outlets made this about Kanye’s mental health. Rather than just a simple business decision. So I’m glad he tweeted about the state of his company and all of the exciting things happening

He’s a free thinker, is that not allowed in America? Because some of his ideas differ from yours you have to throw in the mental health card? That’s just not fair. He’s actually out of the sunken place when he’s being himself which is very expressive

Now when he spoke out about Trump… Most people (including myself) have very different feelings & opinions about this. But this is HIS opinion. I believe in people being able to have their own opinions,even if really different from mine. He never said he agrees with his politics

Kanye will never run in the race of popular opinion and we know that and that’s why I love him and respect him and in a few years when someone else says the same exact thing but they aren’t labeled the way he is and you will all praise them! Kanye is years ahead of his time
— Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) April 25, 2018
Mental Health is no joke and the media needs to stop spitting that out so casually. Bottom line

Liberals are racist scumbags. They look down their nose at black people and think they are too stupid to think for themselves. Black people aren’t smart enough to get ahead without liberals controlling them. I wish our black brothers and sisters would stop believing the liberal nonsense. Look at where it’s gotten them in the cities controlled completely by democrats.
Twitter is busy marking people as bots or blocking them when they reply to Kanye.
Well, I think it was Kim who said that conversations were "interesting" around the dinner table.
With (then) Bruce Jenner and Kris Jenner arguing from the conservative viewpoint, and the kiddos arguing from the left.
The left is revealing that their attitude towards blacks hasn’t changed one iota in 400 years.
I mean how dare he have a different opinion? It must mean he is mad, right?
