LOL so Malathor is arguing that Kanye West isn’t a lunatic?
I’m assuming that he has no idea who Kanye West is, up until the point where he wore a Trump hat?

ArmandoPenblade:

But Kanye has always been a good long way from normal, like most auteures. It’s just gone from crazy but artistic to mostly just crazy over time.

Yeah, I guess I should clarify that, Kanye is in unquestionably crazy, but he’s not, like, chaotic neutral crazy. He’s functioning within a context.

He’s a great musician. Why anyone should care about the rest is beyond me

Orson Scott Card wrote some decent books, but he’s got shitty, religious nutjob political views; I care about that so that I don’t make the mistake of giving him even more money to spend oppressing gay people :)

And yet, Orson Scott Card and CJ Cherryh are the two people most responsible for making me realize I was being close-minded towards gay people, and I should try to change my view.

I still get whiplash from being reminded about his political views. That someone can write Ender’s Game and Speaker for the Dead, and yet be bigoted, is just… so bizarre.

I didn’t mean in that sense. If you want to deny someone your money because you find them objectionable, that’s fine. I just don’t know why Kanye’s opinion about Trump matters in any political discussion. Except of course that we are a vapid, celebrity-obsessed society.

This is why I used Half Price Books when I got them for my son; buying used nets the author diddly squat. I suppose it takes one more used book out of circulation and could ostensibly encourage a person looking for it to buy new, but I figure the odds are slim.

That pic never gets old. It feels like Trump is some sort of haunting ghost that’s wailing at the kid in an attempt to drain him of levels.

RichVR · 2018-04-25T22:30:52.099Z

More like sanity to me.

It’s because trump/Kanye don’t read that they are dumb.

Very Smart Brothas

Kanye’s Politics Are What Happens When You Don’t Read Books

As someone who still owns land on Yeezy Island, I was anxious when Kanye West made his return to Twitter a couple weeks ago. Because as those who haven’t yet sold their Yeezy properties know, every time he opens his mouth, property values plummet. So...

KevinC · 2018-04-25T23:18:29.014Z

Kanye being all #MAGA doesn’t surprise me in the least. Unlike George W Bush, Trump doesn’t hate black people (well, just the icky ones that live in his building).

Timex · 2018-04-25T23:39:50.405Z

I’m seriously amazed by the fact that fills like malathor are now in league with Kanye West.

It’s so crazy.

I mean, it’s freaking Kanye West.

It’s like there is literally nothing they won’t defend out of pure partisanship, no matter how absurd.

I honestly thought he was making fun of Kanye West’s absurdity, but only now do i see that there are a maybe number of right wing drones who all love Kanye West now.

Trump only tolerates black people who “know their place.” If you dare question your white overlords then you’re on his shitlist.

I assume he hated him for the comments about GWB, but now he’s a hero… because reasons.

They are like Trump, they don’t care about anything except if you are on their team.
