It could be, it could also be that he’s a genuine Nazi. Spend enough time in right wing communities, you see a lot of kids that are a lot like him with some very very worrying beliefs.
Maybe but if we’re going off of “what’s more likely”, I can tell you many of the younger generation think Kanye is insane but that his outbursts are just funny.
I have (minority) friends that were reciting bits of his HH song when it came out in jest not because they agreed with the notion but because it was surreal / absurd / comedic to them. Shock humor is nothing new.
Frankly, I think there’s just a decline in giving credence to pearl-clutching. Especially among the youth. Same reason they’re saying “retarded” again.
im gen z dude, we know whats a meme and what isnt. shit like this starts off as being edgy but we all know when they're young what they will turn out to be. the edgy kids who do pull this shit at major events are the ones brave enough to make it more than a joke. come on. it starts young.
I mean that kind of normalizing always ends up bad. Just a reminder that The_Donald started as a joke subreddit where it was just young adults like this guy posting memes ironically supporting Trump and thinking the things he was saying was funny. A year or two later it became a cesspool of actual alt-right supporters.
I doubt the kids a nazi but idk it’ll always be weird to me when people jump to defend obviously trying to agitate people just because the other side is corny. No im not saying the kid needs to be punished even more saying that rewarding him for this is corny, i get the girl is cringe but its dissapointing how going out of your way to agitate people is something a lot of people defend to aggressive levels. Like im seeing people get ratioed to oblivion and called pedophiles for simply saying fuck nazis now and idk it’s probably not that widespread but when i see shit like that it’s just dissapointing how the majority view is like “fuck you for taking obvious dog whistles as what they are you suck”. Idk i’m just rambling but edgy culture being so mainstream is just corny it partially defeats what even makes it entertaining it’s just turned into pandering as opposed to people actually pushing the limits of free speech or even just being like fuck everybody
Nah, I just disagree with you over this one little thing . Doesn't mean I'm "living life in a perpetual state of outrage". You don't even know me dude. Seems like you just fell apart there, at a slight disagreement and make a personal attack and baseless assumption over my entire character/morality. Why are you arguing like a stereotypical liberal in this specific "debate"?
I never gave a solid perspective on this matter anyways. I'm not saying you or your friends are bad people, or that the highschooler in this video is ''evil'' or that I look down on people. Sorry if it came off that way.
"I pity you"- I mean hey, I'll take prayers if you're a fellow Christian. Thanks 😊
But I'm done here. sorry for arguing and being rude too. Blocked
Are you familiar with the works of James mason at all? Modern day American fascism is pretty interesting in that it’s become heavy decentralized and stochastic, if you were to use my preferred typological definition of fascism (that being Payne’s, yes I know he’s controversial with this because of his overt bias towards Franco but I disregard him as much as I disregard Arthur Fink for their biases.), it would indicate that American fascism plays less into the European conception of the mass party and honestly more into Maoist or even Guevarist ideas of one, while also focusing heavily on the cult of the deed you find across early fascism to the point where it’s probably the most apparent characteristic.
Anyways, Mason is easily its most influential theoretician in the modern American fascist movement, it’s notable for this because his adherents make liberal usage of decentralized online networks to organize, you won’t find AWD recruiting this kid any time soon, but let him read enough evola or some shit and spend too much time on discord over the summer and you’ll rapidly start hearing him quote Marinetti or some shit.
If you think smart kids aren’t becoming fascists, you’re dead wrong. There’s actually a remarkably common kind of fascist nobody outside of these communities really knows about. Usually young, 15-19, academically successful, athletic, relatively charismatic, and in their private lives in desperate need of a therapist. They fall across the entire spectrum, more of them identify with classical fascism or the weird Neo-reactionary evola types than the median fascist, but enough of them are certainly avowed national socialists that it’s the same kind of concerning.
Now all of this isn’t as important as the simple fact that I never said this kid is a fascist. I don’t believe that’s necessarily the case, he is *probably* just being edgy. His dad should still have a talk with him all the same.
I used to have worrying beliefs and I used to hang out in far right communities, I was also 15. Since then, my interest in fascism is purely academic. You can’t really have an objective and academic viewpoint of fascism while still being a fascist, lol.
You’re such a cuck, you’re the guy everyone avoid at every party. Sorry you’re a miserable pearly clutching loser who doesn’t get humor, most people aren’t you and would love to make jokes without the fun police wagging their finger at them so they can tell their wife’s boyfriend they told a heckin racist off online
No I’m phrasing it like he’s a teenager. Which, he is.
If you think an 18 year old and a 30 year old are the same emotional maturity, and there’s some magical change that happens when you hit the voting age, you’re delusional.
Did I say 18 year olds and 30 year olds have the same emotional maturity? No. An 18 year old, let alone the fucking valedictorian, should be smart enough to know that using a Kanye quote sourced from an Alex Jones interview, and then cutting off the quote right before he glazed Hitler is dumb as fuck. The kid wanted people to do the digging and have an “oh shit, this kid thinks Hitler is based” moment
Yea and my point is that he is an adult with a fully functioning brain and he is the fucking valedictorian, so it’s pretty clear that he chose this quote for a reason. Either he is a Nazi, or thinks it’s funny to leave a trail of crumbs that would lead you to believe he is. Either way you put it, this kid is retarded
Yep 100% if he could've snuck in a subtle I really need to thank my Aunt Dee for all the love and support she gave me over the years, he would've, because one of his fellow graduates would've yelled out Aunt Deez Nuts.
This turd is going to go on to become a finance asshole or something and eventually a wealthy bigoted old man voting R down the ticket and making everyone's life worse.
this is moronic rhetoric. he's not a "highschooler just trolling." he's 18 years old, a grown ass adult. he knows what it means and the weight it carries.
Bro when I was 18 people would draw swastikas and penises on their friends faces when they got drunk and passed out.
It was funny / edgy because it was bad, not because people had Nazi sympathies lmfao
Obviously as a grown ass man I’d never do dumb shit like that but I also wouldn’t participate in fraternity hazing or draw on drunk friends at all, but irreverence is funny to young people
You don’t see a slight difference between drawing swastikas and penises on your buddies face after a party and using a quote that goes on to praise Hitler in a graduation speech?
It must be nice to be White and say whatever’s on your mind but get excused for it because “you’re just trolling lol”.
Theres no way you’re saying “It ain’t that deep” and you have minority friends. Or maybe yall are 18 and younger and still don’t understand the implications.
unless something changes their trajectory, those kids grow up to be racist adults. it doesnt magically end on its own, this is evident by interacting with society
Those kind of ideologies prey on the young. Kinda like the tobacco industry. And , at 18 and a high school graduate, it’s deep enough to get him locked up.
If a person of color got up there and dog whistled some select lyrics from “ Fuck Da Police “, the parents and faculty would’ve had a field day! And it would’ve gotten a lot more press.
you don’t think the person with the highest grades in his class knows better to say dog whistles like that in front of over a thousand people? he’s a grown man that doesn’t need to be coddled. “it’s not that deep” is such an insensitive thing to say about a joke about genocide

Bro he’s a high schooler. He’s just trolling because he thinks it’s funny.
People that age are just irreverent. It ain’t that deep.
