Also... I cannot find a better example of someone in a manic mental health CRISIS than Kanye. Everytime a mass shooter smokes up the nightclub or Walmart they rush to explain how he was mentally ill and not a libtard.
So... where is the slightest compassion for this guy?
Apparently Alex and Milo have no compassion. Who invites a mentally ill man onto his platform to make a fool of himself and live stream it? And spout more Nazi nonsense? Who encourages him to do so? Unscrupulous grifters, that’s who.
As for nutjobs shooting up grocery stores (Buffalo) and schools and whatnot, we too often find they got their inspiration on the internet.
Back when, free speech was in person there were real live people to challenge it. Back when free speech in public meant getting up on a soapbox in the public square or Speaker’s Corner, there were real live people to shout down such lunatic ravings, and the crowd could challenge, boo, etc. True, sometimes nutters and zealots could whip up a mob (Blackshirts and Reds come to mind), but in the US, the mob would shout down someone like Kanye and holler for him to get back on his meds.
On the internet, “listeners” or “spectators” are sitting alone in front of a screen. There are bubbles on the internet where Hitler or the Columbine shooters and other mass murderers are held up as heroes unchallenged. There’s no crowd of average normal people to counter the crazy. And a few mentally unbalanced people find a “cause” to kill for. I can’t see a way to fix this. Crazy people gonna crazy.
I can see why Musk would delete Kanye’s Tweets and ban him. He had already been banned in October for Tweeting “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE.” Which is a threat of violence not protected as free speech. Elon gave him a second chance and Kanye blew it. I can see where Musk would not want to open himself up to lawsuits for allowing incitement to violence on his platform.
I hope no nutters go out and whoop up on elderly Jews and claim they were inspired by Kanye. The left will bay all the louder for hate speech laws. I am totally against those!
