Kanye West was dumped into a memory hole due to his unwise exercise of First Amendment rights. Before he was purged I saved some favorites from Ye’s X account? (Below are screen shots for preservation.)
For our brothers, sisters, and binary-resisters in Palm Beach County with Maybach labels on their Mercedes cars:
I would love to get a Maybach badge for our four-year-old Honda Odyssey!
On understanding white males who don’t have the honor of being members of the 2SLGBTQQIA+ community:
Ye agrees with Cicero (“The cash that comes from selling your labour is vulgar and unacceptable for a gentleman … for wages are effectively the bonds of slavery.”):
Ye on Jewish marriage:
(Young Marty Mendel tells his mother Miriam he’s been given a part in the school play. She asks which part. Marty’s chest swells with pride as he says, “I play the Jewish husband.” Miriam responds, “You go back to school tomorrow and tell the teacher that you want a speaking role!”)
On pragmatics and sociolinguistics:
On politics:
Also this one:
(If Ye broadened his search a bit he could find “The Jewish Vote in 2024” (Commentary, January 2025): “This past year, in a truly astounding statistic, Forbes revealed that the top 15 donors to the Kamala Harris campaign were all people who identified as Jewish. … Fox News and the Associated Press … found that 66 percent of Jews voted for Harris and 32 percent voted for Trump. … While the recent election showed an improvement in the Jewish vote for Trump, it was not a dramatic move.”)
Ye agrees with me regarding crypto:
Ye is under attack for some late-night all-uppercase opinions regarding Jews. I don’t support excluding him from X on that basis. Progressives in the Ivy League and in European politics who say “I’m not anti-Jewish, but only anti-Zionist” are far more dangerous to Jewish and Israeli interests. Ye will never do as much harm to Jews as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did, for example, with their financial support (via UNRWA) for Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad and their interference with Israel’s counterattack after the October 7, 2023 invasion by Palestinians.
Readers: What are your favorite recent Ye tweets? Did you save any?
Great post
Was he really cancelled? It was reported that Elon unfollowed him and then he himself deactivated his X account.
You can say anything about anyone except Jews. Once this happens you will be tagged as antisemitic and you will be destroyed. Same thing happened to him(ye) with adidas.
