The rapper formerly known as Kanye West directed viewers to his website, where the homepage was selling a T-shirt with a swastika on the front.
I couldn’t have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC
Harambee was our anchor being. Everything’s been fraying at the edges since that day.
We had a second chance with Peanut the Squirrel. We fucked it up again.
The world really ended in 2012. We’re living through the blooper reel.
Someone needs to stop using the What If machine!
We’d use the universal translator instead, but it just spouts crazy gibberish.

“I’m gonna ask it the dumbest thing I can think of: What if Donald Trump became president?”
“Oh yeah? I’m gonna ask it what if Donald Trump lost re-election, then got re-elected?”
machine explodes
So that’s what things would be if what’s happening was just a result of a what if machine…
A man can dream, though. A man can dream.
I’m convinced that the timeline split happened in 1971.
ew a bitcoin evangelist site
*goldbug
“Yes, and”.
All the way at the bottom are the Bitcoin white paper and a site to their merch store where you can get a shirt with Nixon or Regan or whatever doing a pose with the Bitcoin logo.
That was added later then. This was a goldbug site from the start. It’s also wrong about most of the reasoning unsurprisingly
Makes sense, there’s a lot of “bluh, fiat” overlap.

Well the Mayan thing wasn’t supposed to be Apocalyptic; it was supposed be a signal of a “new age.”

You must have been really optimistic to expect something different out of these morons, to me it’s more surprising they managed to keep quiet until now
No, this is just a Nazi who has always been shitty. If you were fooled by him at any point, then now is the time to question your judgment. If not, then good for you. But you’re still not infallible… None of us are.

And what’s sad is that he’s wealthier than everyone that uses lemmy, combined.
Why the fuck does good shit always happen to bad people, and good people always get shit on?

Money does, however, buy security. Money would solve all of my worst problems and make the other ones easier to handle. We don’t need a lot, but sure as hell need more than we have now and people like him don’t deserve a damn fucking cent(besides any universal social programs because that’s what universal means and I ain’t gunna be that guy).
Money doesn’t buy happiness, but a lack of money is sure to bring unhappiness.
It can’t buy happiness but it can pay off my unhappiness debt.
Well he deserves a different level of miserable.
Probably not a popular opinion around here, but this is actually one of the rare cases where he is (was) extremely talented at his main thing (producing). That doesn’t mean he deserves that disproportionate amount of wealth, but he’s contributed more to culture than elon ever could.
This is basically undeniable, but what really makes me sad is the artists who don’t seem to be Nazis or even right wing but still support this dude and stand up for him because he’s been so influential on many of them.
You don’t get wealthy if you’re good, because it takes a certain amount of greed and materialism
It gets better. Shopify took down the store. This is what replaced it 😆
He knows he’s black, right?
it’s a shame he died after the show aired.

He was that committed to the cause
He’s “one of the good ones” and rich so he’s all good.
That’s always worked out in the past.
I think he forgot that a long time ago.
This must be proof that equality has been reached. Now he can be a rich bigot too! Welcome!
And mentally ill
He sounds dumber every time he tries to become relevant again. Does Kim have sile custody? Because I would go after it now.
Doesn’t matter to him. He still wants to be a bigot.
He’s not only convinced they would say he’s “One of the good ones,” but he actually likes the idea.
I’d like to see what the people at the local Nazis convention has to say about it.
What’s insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I’m sure someone at FOX will say “We had no idea he would put this on his site”, which we’ll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.
At least the next Superbowl halftime show is going to be interesting:
There is absolutely no excuse for this u/Remember_the_tooth. This is wildly inappropriate and completely out of date. There is absolutely NO excuse generative AI and MLL can’t remake this for a sequel using actual Kekius and Trumpf for the modern times.
That’s a really good point. Why rehash Mel Brooks’ old content when we have actual live NeoNazis on our front porch. Kudos to you for your insight. We could probably just livestream a rally.
Guys, just because he went on Alex Jones to make racist jokes and talk about how much he loves Hitler doesn’t mean he’s a nazi
Do we know when the website was changed? He could well have changed it the moment the advert went live.
I was on his website yesterday and there was no swastika then. There was “white lives matter” and a bunch of nazi-adjacent symbols with plausible deniability but no outright swastika.
What a strange chap.
Strange is an understatement
I heard it didn’t air in all regions?
The commercial itself didn’t feature the shirt or any nazi imagery. It was a 30 second clip of Kanye in a dentists chair telling you to visit his website. It only aired in LA.
I don’t understand this timeline.
I saw it. I’m not in Louisiana or Los Angeles.

The ADL is a zionist organization that was literally founded to protect a pedophile and child rapist who was, with no relevance to those actions whatsoever, Jewish. Do not take any of their “stances” as being for social justice.
Do you have a source on Sigmund Livingston being a pedophile?
If you see someone wearing that shirt, it is only right to deck them in the temple
Wow this is how old now, and I just noticed on the left starts clapping. An applause worthy punch for sure
This stick? I carry it for walking.

Does this mean whatever payment processing center is used for his site is also pro, whatever this is?
It’s shopify, which requires an account to report. So if anyone has a shopify account, please do the needful. Can probably be considered a threat of violence or terrorist organization, or both.
I have an account.
When I tried to report it as terrorist organization, the form gets stuck in a redirect loop. It’s broken.
Threat of violence worked but I needed to provide my full name, phone number and address which felt pretty shit.
And yet I bet if you tried to set up a storefront with a certain sibling of Mario, you’d get shut down instantly.
Looks like a few requests made it in.
lol what the fuck is going on in America?

Smart has never been proven to cause rich, but is often correlated with it.

Sometimes when someone tells you who they are, you should just believe them.
Adding “Ye” to my list of blocked words
Ye of little faith

Wow, no need to go all body shaming :(
Man that’s just mean. 🤣
They’ll never know.
I want to but I think the Thunder filter feature is a bit aggressive. I blocked the word “US” but I realized a long while later that it was also blocking all links to my instance sh.itjust.works. I’m afraid I’ll lose all titles with “yesterday” or “yes”.
I’m working on my own lemmy app. It would be cool to have settings for your filters like containers, starts with, ends with, word, part of word. But I also need to strike a balance between average users and power users. Maybe an advanced filter setting would be cool.
Neat! More options are always better. Do you have a community set up for progress updates?
I created a community but I haven’t launched a beta yet. I’m a bit of a perfectionist but I’m also thinking I need to have a certain baseline of features to not piss off users.
This is the web app, but I will be launching a native app in beta soon. https://blorpblorp.xyz
My main goals are creating a seamless experience between web and native, having a no compromise experience on larger screens while also not compromising on small screens, and allowing you to browse cached content offline.
Looks good! What’s the community?

I would assume that the filters are case insensitive and filter whitespace but I don’t know for sure. I should test some stuff out.
deleted by creator
No cause then you’d filter out everything with “Ye” in the name, and miss out on a lot of cool bands like The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Yello, Yes, Yella, and Yeti.

Oh stop it you stupid leftys.
Maybe he just like the design of it.
Maybe he’s autistic.
Anyway no need to start calling everyone nazis.
/s **** it's a joke**** please everyone be aware that I'm joking** Sorry but I need this to be crystal clear, it's a long story.This feels like something a hexbear user would say in a serious way. (Replace lefties with liberals)
And suddenly Chappelle’s blind black man KKK member is truth.
Clayton Bigsby, and Yeezy isn’t blind, which makes it even better
At least he is isn’t hiding it
This is how low the bar is in 2025
What a timeline to live in…
Sad to see that the dude’s in this state. He clearly needs psychiatric care, not a platform from which to yell his absurdities.
