Spotify, SoundCloud and other platforms have pulled the song, but its spread underscores the challenges tech platforms face in removing content that violate their policies.
Spotify, SoundCloud and other tech platforms have worked to remove a new song from Ye that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and its video have continued to proliferate online including across X, where it has racked up millions of views.
On various mainstream and alternative tech platforms this week, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been able to share his latest song, titled “Heil Hitler,” along with its companion title, “WW3,” which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.
While some platforms have taken steps to attempt to pull down the song, others have seemingly let it spread freely.
Honest question: is Ye just mentally ill, or is Russia manipulating him?
Both? Just like the conspiracy theory crowd.
Very mentally ill.
But also it’s super easy to manipulate a mentally ill person. Just keep whispering in his ear that he’s totally right and oh by the way he should be upset about this other thing too, and he will take the bait. Every. Time.
Very mentally ill gay fish.
Unless Dr Sergei took him off his meds, this is probably all his own doing.
Being rich clearly means you have no real friends, because any real friend would have sat him down long ago and stopped him doing whatever the fuck this is.
I can’t remember the details but I remember some time back hearing a pretty compelling argument that he’s actually just a Nazi. It happens, apparently far too much.
Mentally I’ll with “any publicity is good publicity”.
No, he’s just a divorced dad
edit: wow this joke was not well-received. Half of this song is just straight up references to his divorce though, it’s basically a manifesto of the divorced-dad to reactionary pipeline.
That man is very much not ok with his divorce.
There’s a kernel of truth in the joke, divorced parents make up a serious section of the right-wing “SovCit” movements, it’s a real entry to the right-wing pipelines.
Russia is manipulating him.
Edit: I don’t actually believe this; I just thought it would be hilarious to have two comments with opposing answers. Fuck Kanye
