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?

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.
