West seems to have really gone off the rails with his performance on Alex Jones's show. What he needs is another sit-down dinner with Donald Trump to get him re-focused on more sane stuff. Trump will know who Fuentes is this time around, but maybe leave him at home anyway?
In addition to posting 1000 times every day, his other hobby is looking in the mirror and screaming slurs at himself. I'm sure he'll run out of steam soon enough.

This was a call to violence. Nazism is an inherently violent ideology. Let's not forget that it wasn't just millions of Jews they slaughtered, but gay people, people with disabilities, prisoners of war. Subjugation and extermination of undesirables is an inseparable part of package. They experimented on human beings. They engaged in eugenics and forced sterilization. The government indoctrinated children and turned them on their own parents. Oh, ya, and they started a goddamn world war trying to try to impose their sick ideology on the rest of us.
If you feel it is important to acknowledge that "Hitler did some good things," then you are minimizing the unprecedented evil they brought upon the world. You are either a Nazi playing coy or an incredibly stupid, naive person who deserves to be ridiculed.
No, you're the wrong and naive one. This is NOT a call to violence. How can you conclude that? Other than your first sentence of that paragraph, I completely agree with every sentence that followed in that paragraph. Hitler was the embodiment of human excrement.
That said, every single person has at least a little good (and sometimes a lot) and at least a little bad (and sometimes a lot). Your denial of this truth makes you the naive one and utterly destroys your credibility. Your effort to label, besmirch, and cancel anyone who might say a thing that you can't tolerate shows a lack of compunction on your part.
You don't win people over by plugging your ears, yelling "NAH NAH NAH", acting like God's gift to morality while also yearning to off everyone who may disagree with you. That actually sounds a lot like how Hitler would approach things to me.
Again, I agree wholeheartedly 100% that Hitler was a terrible person. That's obvious. He is essentially the human face of evil. At the same time, Kanye and others can say whatever they want. People say stupid wrong things ALL THE TIME. You simply want to hate instead of educate, and in my opinion, are marginally different than those you despise.
People who say that Hitler did some good things may not be "minimizing unprecedented evil". They could possibly and rightfully be pointing out that evil (the worst evil) often does not initially look so bad. It can even look good, and a lot of sheep will follow. It might look a lot like people who virtue signal so much. Again, like what you're doing here.

As likely the most deleted commenter here, why would you think I am a "moderator's sockpuppet, whatever that is?

"Every single person has a little good in them." Aww, thanks Cindy Lou Who, that's so heart warming.
Unfortunately, Kanye's point was not "every person has a little good in them," he straight up said "I like Hitler" while slandering jews as pedophiles and pornographers. He has been routinely making anti-Semitic comments for months. (But he loves them, too. Ya, sure.)
It is clearly not obvious to everyone that Hitler was a terrible person. Douglas Burke was just extolling the potential benefits of Hitler's leadership style over what he perceives to be modern day liberalism. As if the whole "exterminate the undesirables" thing was just an unfortunate misstep.
If you say "I like Hitler," despite knowing everything he did, then you cannot be reasoned with or educated. I'm not putting my fingers in my ears yelling "nananana"; that's you, ignoring the growing white nationalist/anti-semitic rhetoric on the right. You can fight it or seek to appease it, but there is no "educating" it.
Stridently opposing Nazism is "virtue-signaling" now? My grandfather, who lost a leg fighting that evil, wouldn't have agreed with you.
Musk is such a twat. Of course, while I agree Kanye should be banned, Musk just highlights yet again why he's so dumb. "Free speech", Musk? Wait, there are limits to "free speech?!" Who could have possibly seen this coming?
Is there evidence anywhere that Musk said Twitter users would be able to say whatever they wanted on the app, like his opponents seem to think? He said he wanted to loosen restrictions and enforce rules without the left-wing bias, but I don't remember him promoting the idea of using hateful and violent speech.
Also, OP, Trump never incited violence, you just don't know what incitement means. There was already an impeachment trial where they found no evidence of incitement.
As for Kanye, the dude is clearly a pathological narcissist. He just says this dumb sh!t to rile people up and get attention. That's all that's really going on here.

That's NOT all that's going on here. Kanye is out of his mind, clearly, and has been for a long time. But right-wing pundits and media outlets have been using him for clicks and clout, insisting that he's been mistreated and has something worthwhile to say. And what he's got to say is "I like Hitler."
It was no surprise to liberals like me that Kanye finally said the quiet part out loud, but right-wingers were happy to ignore the dog whistling and bask in the "woke outrage" until he finally went full Nazi. They are fully responsible for platforming this sh*t.
Nothing there that refutes my original point regarding free speech. Actually thank you, that bolsters my claim that Musk is not in favor of free speech. He imposes censorship and cancels opinions he doesn’t like.
Once again for your benefit:
Right wing media and many of us on the right lionized Musk as a champion of free speech, he himself cast himself as a free speech absolutist. Some us actually support and believe in that principle. Musk has betrayed that.
I provided evidence from last April that Musk did not cast himself as a free speech absolutist. There is no betrayal just a misunderstanding on your part.
He does believe that almost all of the conservatives who were banned were treated unfairly for political purposes and is in the process of correcting that. For example, Marjorie Taylor Greene's personal account has been reinstated.
Musk literally tweeted: “sorry but I am a free speech absolutist”

West seems to have really gone off the rails with his performance on Alex Jones's show. What he needs is another sit-down dinner with Donald Trump to get him re-focused on more sane stuff. Trump will know who Fuentes is this time around, but maybe leave him at home anyway?

Was he off the rails then? Because, if so...this says way more about us than it does him.
I do recall that. I disagree with your comment that "everybody loved him." Mike Myers, who he was standing next to, did not love his performance. Many people didn't.
But no, West was not off the rails then. He was way out of line (as Myers obviously believed), and completely wrong about George Bush, but not off the rails. "Off the rails" is when you say publicly "I like Hitler," and "I see good things about Hitler" and "We’ve got to stop dissing the Nazis all the time” and "I see good things about Hitler also." Stuff like that. That's off the rails.
Defending, excusing, or whataboutyouing that kind of stuff can veer toward going off the rails, as well. Drive carefully.
Also, OP, Trump never incited violence, you just don't know what incitement means. There was already an impeachment trial where they found no evidence of incitement.
Senate voted 57–43 to convict Trump of inciting insurrection.
Looks like plenty of evidence of incitement. Certainly not "no evidence of incitement".
The guilty votes were bipartisan. The not guilty votes were 100% Republican.
Trump has been reinstated on Twitter by Musk, but Kanye was just kicked off simply for words that lead to no actions (like breaking into the Capitol by a mob of thugs).
All this is irrelevant, just like Michael Jackson several years ago. Everyone can run around with pitchforks right now, but guess what, Kanye's music is still on Spotify. It will still be played at weddings and clubs and everywhere else, just like Michael Jackson. This is just something people will be upset about for a few weeks and then they will go back to putting Gold Digger on all their playlists.
