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?

You don't need to give to charity to the point you're living in poverty, but if you can significantly improve someone else's life without meaningful impact to your own there is a duty to do so.

The ultra rich are in the unique position that they can order the creation of systems to directly mitigate the worst excesses of capitalism. The failure to do so is what makes them mass murderers. The logic doesn't apply to the proletariat, and under socialism I would hope no individual has that power.
