This is really a story about a celebrity's mental illness and public breakdown. If you haven't been following the news, West has spent the week saying increasingly unhinged things, not just about politics but about Pete Davidson, his wife, and (if I'm remembering right) his kids and the fake actor children that have been installed in his former home to corrupt them. He was interviewed for a show on Fox and a big chun…

He's diagnosed with bipolar back in 2016 and talks about refusing medication because it messes with his ability to create/be creative. It's possible that he's exhibited symptoms for far longer but it was brushed aside under the guise of kooky genius. I mean, the Taylor Swift thing was, what, 2009?
The "George Bush doesn’t care about black people" incident was in 2005. Not saying that was a manic episode, but it certainly could have been.
Musk and everyone else is right that we do need a platform with free speech. The only problem is that all those free speech advocates are actually NIMBY's when it comes to free speech. I have been following self proclaimed free speech absolutists(because I too, believe in free speech but don't believe it exists) and they are totally not the kind of people that say "I hate what you say but I will die defending your ri…
And what might we learn from this?

What if it's just a narcissist? What if it's a combination of both? He's made blantent antisemitic remarks and yet his popularity among the right grows

So apparently its evident to a lot of people on hacker news that kanye has a mental illness and is making bad decisions because of it. If this is the case why hasnt someone tried to take power of attorney or something similar here?

Many people can be high achieving and functional despite having mental health issues and pushback from people like you. Kanye has made decisions his whole life. Maybe some were bad but he has made it through and succeeded to a high degree.
He has obviously gone off the rails and needs help (I don't think he was like this many years ago). I'm disappointed that people view his antics as entertainment. He is serious, and quite obviously has a progressing problem. My original question, which has already been down-voted, was sincere. Par for the course in America, he will probably end up jailed due to his mental health issues.

"I hate what you say but I will die defending your right to say it". In all places, these people are curating comments and posts to push agenda. It's incredibly tiresome, not just online but in real life. There is no freedom vs control debate. There's just the people who advocate arresting those who teach their children inconvenient truths vs those who advocate arresting those who use naughty language.

Call me cynical, but I think the likes of Kanye, the Kardashians, Trump, even Elon, etc. are much more calculated than they are deranged. They know how to work the media and manipulate the public better than anyone else. We're living in a world now where journalists are paid by click counts more than quality of content. In the same vein, Kanye and the likes know that the more absurdist and unconventional their action…

Quoted post unavailable.
And, as I'm sure will have to be repeated dozens more times on this doomed thread: the mental illness thing isn't hypothetical. He was hospitalized for it, diagnosed, and is open about it. He attributes his success to it!

Requiring validated identity is anti free speech. There's been so many words spilled online about how terrible of an idea it is to require confirmed identities for online. Recently, see https://twitter.com/mmasnick/status/1576274615231401984 or more casually https://www.garbageday.email/p/oh-cool-were-talking-about-an... > Generally, if your solution is virtually indistinguishable from one of the systems the Chines g…
How do you know that requiring identity is anti free speech? Not everyone online is Iranian political dissident. Sure, some people claim that you can't have free speech when your identity is known but I don't see any solid reasoning behind it. Mike Masnick in his tweets repeats some talking points but there's no cohesive argument.
