    Yes… but also at the same time, the vast majority of people with bipolar or other mental health issues are not raging anti-semites.

      Exactly. I don’t understand all the Kanye empathy. He doesn’t have self-control because he doesn’t need to and doesn’t want to be bothered. Yet look at all the support he gets all the time, as if he’s the most admirable human to ever endure a mental health issue. Nah, he’s just a selfish rich and famous guy who made some great songs.

      They also don’t have people influencing them. A whole lot of people had a whole lot of chances to stop that shit.

      Dude is seriously mentally ill.

        That is true. But there is evidence he has been leaning towards the extreme right and anti-semitism for quite some time. Much before his most current mental health crisis. The fact he has now been surrounding himself with fascists and Christian nationalists is more a show of how far he has gone, not that those people influenced him to get there per se.

        Well, I’ve met quite a few mentally unwell people. Unfortunately have met a number of anti-semites. Very little overlap in my experience.

        But that’s not going to be good enough for you.
