““Context and timing matter.”
It shouldn’t. Truth is constant.
“Your quilt is a historical artifact created before Hitler.”
It isn’t. I created it a couple years ago. The block is old — a variation on Rail Fence Block.
If swastika has bad connotations now — and it certainly does thanks to Hitler — then maybe it’s up to us to help turn that around. We shouldn’t capitulate to these people. It’s wrong that when we see a rainbow our first thought is “homosexual”; it should be a promise from God. It’s wrong that when he hear the word “gay” we think “homosexual”; we should think “happy”.
Caving to the thought police is wrong, and we need to change the wishy-washy “timing and context” cop-out to appease the bad guys.
Kanye’s stupid new symbol is a ridiculous result of an addled brain, and EVERYBODY knows that. No attention would be paid to it if they weren’t using it to take out Trump. They are using it for that purpose, and we’ll see how things shake out. God is in control.”
Exactly right, because freedom of religion will be right behind it...

I’ll add this bit, though. Even if they weren’t using Kanye to throw shade on Trump, it would still be news as Kanye is a big celebrity and very famous. His previous antics when he went off his meds during Obama’s presidency were very much in the news.
It looks to me like Trump supporters would be glad Musk shut Kanye down before he could further embarrass himself and Trump. Just when the hoorah over the dinner was dying down, Alex Jones got it going again by getting Kanye and Milo on his show and letting Kanye make a fool of himself praising Hitler while wearing a creepy mask allegedly by Balenciaga. Then Kanye goes on Twitter and posts Nazi stuff. Elon shut it down.*
The mentally ill are often victims of unscrupulous grifters, and the rich and famous among them are preyed upon by grifters like Alex and Milo. The Alex Jones show hurt Trump. Soon shutting down Kanye helped him. Yet Freepers are praising Jones and condemning Musk. Go figure.
*Don’t forget Musk gave Kanye a second chance after he was banned for posting that he was about to “go death con on Jewish people” — clearly a threat of violence not protected as free speech.
