General Politics Thread

Okay I'm mad. I posted a cat video and it got marked as graphic but Kayne had hardcore porn up unfiltered for almost 40 minutes. Wtf man.

If this ends up being true, big yikes. But honestly I would not be surprised.

Massive yikes.

But I'd also like to see the context of the conversation. No love to Kanye, and there's an insanely small amount of things that could possibly make this any better, but there's a huge difference between this being unsolicited and being antagonised.

I honestly haven't liked him since the Taylor Swift stuff at the MTV Awards(I was a huge Taylor fan back then, I'm still a fan now, just not as big a fan as I was lol), and then the last few years or so have really made that even more of a dislike. I hope he gets whatever help he needs cause I think something is seriously wrong with him mentally.

The fact that he claimed to became a Christian and released a Christian album and was posting porn and professing he was God just a few days ago paints a picture and it isn't pretty. I saw clips of how he would try to encourage Kim to be more modest in how she dresses and now his current wife is paraded around naked. The people I can't take serious on the issue are those that defend him after all this.

He has never been a "nice guy" but his narcissism has gotten worse as years went on.

The meme page (of all places) I saw it on had this to say about it:
Honestly, this breaks my heart. I go running a lot and I used to run to Kanye’s “Jesus is Lord” album. When he first said he converted, I wanted to give him a judgment of charity and believe it, so I did. He even wrote a lyric saying, “what have you been hearin’ from the Christians. They’ll be the first ones to judge me…” and of course, we did judge him.

People said, “we must wait for the fruit! Then I’ll believe!” Others criticized his every move. His Sunday services, his interviews, everything. Very few gave him a chance publicly, and I couldn’t stand to see it. Couple this with the fact that he has extreme mental illness, lost his mother, got divorced, lost a ton of power with his kids, has money, fame, satan, and celebrity working against him, and it was a recipe for disaster.

What he needed was our prayers, our concern, and our comfort. What I fear he got was our “told you so’s.” Even now, after his recent X unhinged tirade, it’s simply more of the same from believers. Very few are grieving this and calling for prayer. Many are saying, “I knew it! He was never a believer!” How quickly would we have turned on David and so many others in the Bible based on their outward sin? What about you? Have you always acted like a believer? Or have you gone through periods of great sin as well?

Im not saying any of this is good, because it’s not. Im praising God Kanye is still alive, because i believe in His mercy and grace. And as long as Kanye draws breath, hope remains. So no, I refuse to dunk on him, Bieber, Brand, Nala, or any other celebrity who tries to break away from the satanic shackles of celebrity culture. These people are deeply wounded and broken by years of sin. Many have mental issues they are working through. They deserve our pity, not our scorn. Let’s pray for them.

Sad about what kanye said. I give the meme comment guy a lot of credit for having faith for the guy to still be saved.

Look, Kanye went all in. I honestly think he was genuine at the time, but he had a lot of demons, and was probably nowhere near enough people that could help him.

You see a lot of Christians "deconstruct", and the crux of it often boils down to not enough people being around to disciple them (or the right people). There is a fair bit of Leftism taint that gets into it, but the downfall is often not surrounding yourself with the right people.

I never followed him or any celebrity enough to know if they mean what they say when it comes to stuff like this. So much of Hollywood and the music industry is an act.

It doesn't seem like he has any good friends or people in his life at the moment.
 
Tulsi was confirmed. I feel like they have to be dragging their feet on RFK Jr. Shouldn't he have been confirmed by now or did I miss it?
