Why is Kanye releasing music praising hitler and producing clothing with hate symbols?

His art is about reactionary culture. He’s saying “look at how angry these people get at a symbol they have no real world experience with, look at how easily they call a black American racist for pointing at it” Look at how mad we are, people who have never met a real nazi

I agree that "nazi" has lost its meaning, and Kanye is playing on it. Idk if Kanye is a real nazi because I haven't listened to his interviews. Even if I did, who knows if he doesn't treat himself as the work of art, so he'd say things he doesn't believe in just to get the reaction. But what I know for sure is that he's a PR savant and understands how to capture attention and spark a debate which is a part of artist's job. Is it net good or net bad for the society is another question.

He said he’s given up naziism and he loves Jewish people now (more trolling obviously) I have this same ability to get under people’s skin, and had a similar trajectory last cycle of being extremely loved for a couple months and pedestaled in a very uncomfortable and unrealistic way, then absolutely hated and cancelled for doing things that pissed people off (like trading from dev wallet, supporting a project that lost people money, calling out a known larp scammer, etc) and because I stepped on shibboleths that I don’t care about but other people do, people got real mad. What I’ve found is that negative attention is not the same as positive attention. Sensitive creator nerd types are definitely affected when thousands of death threats come in. It’s draining. It makes you defensive, angry… villainous. You become the thing people hate. And it’s hard not to feel indignant, like it is all so fucking stupid and people should chill and appreciate some jokes and art.
