    He should come to Germany and do that here and then we can hear from him from prison for the next 12 months and he will be banned from performing here for the next decade.

    Last month, West made a video featuring him posing in a diamond-encrusted swastika necklace next to infamous white supremacist Nick Fuentes.

    I have a good friend who is a jeweler, and loves getting an expensive custom job, which this had to be. You dont just pick up a “diamond-encrusted swastika” at Jared. I wondered what my buddy would do if he was offered such a commission.

    And I realized that he’d take it, not because his politics (or musical taste) are in alignment, but I know that he would say “If he wants to pay me a ridiculous amount of money to help him make an idiot of himself in front of the entire world, who am I to deny him?”

    The detail I enjoyed most about this is that he had fewer than 220 followers at the time of the ban. This suggests that in order for any details on this incident to have got out at all, a decent percentage of his fans in 2025 are actually just journalists waiting for him to do something stupid they can get an article out of.

    Brain damaged troglodyte speed ran a twitch ban. Nice to see that money can’t quite buy anything.

    I guess I’m glad Twitch took a side on that?

    After Bezos went full nazi on the Washington Post, I have expected the worst of everything Amazon.

      Kanye just isn’t subtle enough with his anti-semitism.

      I just checked and Hasan is still on the front page of Twitch. So don’t worry, Amazon is still profiting off of anti-semitism.

    As much as I hate Bezos, ik he’s not as brave as Musk to be pissing his money down the drain like that. He ain’t turned twitch into a state propaganda machine unlike Elon. If he did that on twatter musk wouldve done fuckall.

      I mean Bezos has pretty much turned the Washington Post into his own sock puppet. People just aren’t as up in arms about it because he’s not behaving like an outright Nazi.

      Here I am missing my meds and really wishing I could get my brain chemistry back to “normal” but I can’t afford it.

      I moved across the country and had more difficulty than expected finding work, so my savings are tapped and my health insurance has not kicked in yet.

      I’m not saying anyone should be forced to take meds that could alter their autonomy in any way, that being said, I know I do better and feel better when I have my meds. In life, at work, in personal relationships. I want to take them.

      It doesn’t seem fair… hooray for capitalism, huh?

        I don’t understand why we can’t force clearly mentally ill people to take their meds. I get hit by a car, I’m unconscious. No one waits to ask me if I want to be taken to the hospital, and even if I refused, they’d say I was in shock and not thinking right. It makes little to no sense to me.

          Consent is complicated, when you are taking about everyday people there are times the hospital will use legal tactics to force someone to get treatment, but that’s when it’s treatment or death and they are being stupid, I remember one article about a teenage girl being forced to do chemo and her response to it all afterwords was ‘‘well I was going to eventually get treated I just wanted time to think about it’’ which sounds like the only thing a judge would need to hear to approve the choice to force treatment, but then you have elderly folks with DNRs who are NOT FUCKING AROUND and ignoring those directives to me is pretty sickening, I’ve had grandparents who were ready to die, I’ve never been in my 70s with debilitating health problems, I don’t know what that’s like, but if an adult who’s reached a life expectancy age is ready to die, fuck you, let them die. And when someone like Steve Jobs that let’s a highly treatable cancer kill him because maybe he just needed to drink more wheat grass or some stupid shit, there’s nothing you can do but go ‘‘OK, well, we don’t have to make any follow up appointments now that you’re basically dead.’’ And move on.

          Because they make the decision while on the meds and theoretically of sound mind. If you prior to that accident signed a DNR, and they knew about it, they wouldn’t perform certain measures that they otherwise would.
