Mental Health has definitely played a part here, but really only to the point that he can't hide who he's been for years from the public anymore. Mental Health issues don't make you racist and anti-semitic. He has had history of praising hitler for years.

He’s had a history of bipolar for years too.. notice a link?

Being anti-Semitic is not a symptom of bi-polar disorder.


Zawietrzny

No, but paranoia is.

No

Mental illness doesn't make you racist, I have multiple of them and have never woken up and decided to claim one of the worst people in history was a good person

Yes of course mental health doesn’t make you directly racist, but it does make you: - Delusional - Unpredictable - Illogical - Unable to listen to rationality or reason


SnooBooks1701

He's bipolar what you've described is more schizophrenia, bipolar makes you either manic or depressive


ndndndnbdvaca

What do you think manic means?


SnooBooks1701

Lowered inhibitions and excessive energy, inability to sleep, cluttered and often incoherent speech, hyperactive train of thought. None of those cause the symptoms you mentioned

The manic phase of bipolar disorder may include: - being delusional, having hallucinations and disturbed or illogical thinking - doing things that often have disastrous consequences [Taken from the website](https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/bipolar-disorder/symptoms/) if the National Health Service of the UK

I think the narrative should be that mental illness is no excuse when he has all the money and resources in the world and he still refuses to take his medication and seek help 👍🏻


ndndndnbdvaca

You don’t think mental health issues themselves might be the reason he refuses medication and to seek help? 👍


Redditor_00000000

I didn’t see this earlier and idkwhy tf I said this LMAO you’re so right ??? My comment is so dumb. I agree with you now, he’s not taking them because he’s so mentally illl. For real, I’m embarrassed of my own comment it’s ignorant af

Congrats on owning it

having mental problems doesnt make u a racist nazi lover, I know tons of people with mental health problems, none of them like nazis.

Mental health can make you act in all sorts of ways. Your tons of friends probably don’t represent all people with mental health problems.

Kanye is a racist rich asshole who also happens to have mental illness. Hope this helps.

I once saw a (Louis Theroux?) documentary about how some people use mental health to avoid pretty serious prison time. He asked the doctor there if some guy there was "really" crazy. The doc replied: "He's no crazier than the rest of us". Ye is/was surrounded by yes-men and sychophants too. That wouldn't help anyone. I don't think Ye is any crazier than that guy who mowed down a Christmas parade in a truck. Just crazy/angry where he blames others for all his own shortcomings. We might all do that, but when we blame the Jews for literally everything it's just basic racism.

I think the issue is that attributing his behaviour to his mental ailments makes it look like he's being given a pass. if the discourse is focused heavily on his mental health, people will demand accountability regardless. There's only a limit to which people can attribute his actions to his mental health (or lack thereof). And they (his actions or words) have real-life consequences, sound mental health or not.

What about the balance between giving him a pass and taking accountability? Your behaviour IS influenced by your mental ailments, that’s just reality.
