I have yet to see someone defend Ye on the basis of mental illness who doesn't also openly agree with him.

Admiring Nazis is not a mental illness and it's not a symptom of a mental illness. It isn't paranoia or persecutory delusion or malignant narcissism or cognitive hyperactivity or a manic episode.

It's just being a shithead.

Is there anything more tiresome than a man who thinks he's channeling the secret truth of the universe when really he's just repeating decades old, boring, predictable, unoriginal talking points, word for fucking word?

Kanye isn't a mouthpiece for bland, lowest common denominator white supremacy because he's mentally ill. There is no such thing as a mental illness that causes you to simp for fascists. It's because, whatever his undeniable creative prowess, he's an intellectually lazy goddamn idiot and a self-centered fucking asshole.
