Can we talk about how Kanye hasn't been cancelled by the general public after his Alex Jones interview? (hexbear.net)

Just a year after this happened and it seems like everybody has forgotten about it. Yea he lost his adidas partnership but nowadays, he's been a welcomed surprise guest at Travis shows, I'm hearing his songs being popped off on in clubs and parties, and he's been going viral on TikTok with tons of praise and no criticism or mention of him being a Nazi in the comments

Is it Americans having the memory of a goldfish? Americans not really hating Hitler/Nazis/anti-semitism that much? Kanye's music is just too good to ignore? Americans just loving to deepthroat and worship anybody that's famous?

I saw it on the hiphopheads subreddit. The post had 700 karma, which is pretty high for that subreddit, but low in comparison to years in the past when Kanye released teaser tracks. Before Kanye said he liked Hitler, new Kanye songs would easily clear 3000 karma on hiphopheads.

The new Kanye song sucks and he references his antisemitism in the song. In the song he says that he can't be antisemitic because he had sex with a Jewish woman.

The other thing I saw on hip hop news sites is that he published a track list for a new album, yesterday. He's teasing a new album with the new song release and this new track list. I'm predicting that he releases an album soon, it's going to be super antisemitic, and Zionists are going to say that anyone who supports Palestine is more antisemitic than Kanye.

he says he can’t be antisemitic because he had sex with a Jewish woman

That’s just an objectively worse version of this lyric, if he’s trying to minimize the magnitude of his Nazi press tour from last year he should at least try to be creative

Kanye West will say “gal Gadot is hot” and be forgiven by the worst.

But it’s clear he is anti-semetic and in some weird ass ways.

It's possible that Israel gives him a tour and forgives Kanye like they did for Elon Musk. Israel is giving Elon the green light to be antisemitic as long as he supports Israel, so maybe they do the same for Kanye.

Something to consider though is that during the Alex Jones interview, Kanye specifically said bad things about Benjamin Netanyahu. Also, Kanye spent a lot of time hanging out with Nick Fuentes, which is something that was denounced by Israeli Foreign Ministers. It's possible that Israel forgives Kanye and makes him another spokesperson for Zionism but I'm skeptical. I'm not sure that they would trust him because Kanye is a wildcard.
