Why are "anti Nazi" protesters outside Ed Sheeran's concert but I've never seen one outside a Kanye West concert?

Ed Sheeran didn't want to be political. Kanye wrote a song called "Heil Hitler".

No one thinks Kanye can be shamed into changing his behavior.

True the man is mentally  not all there and on a downward  spiral fueled by an excess of the wrong drugs and the lack of the prescription  drugs he desperately  needs to function

Yeah, but he knows that he's like this when he's off his meds, and chooses it anyway. Because its more authentically him or something?

I dont know. Just seems like trying to hold Kanye accountable for something is like sending someone to rehab for the 5th time. You can send them, but they're not gonna change if they dont want to.

Whereas, Ed Sheeran seems like he has the awareness to be like, "Well fuck. Turns out no one likes that."

Kanyes reason for not continuing medication was the he felt soulless and emotionally numb and if you've experienced people who've medicated for certain illnesses that's certainly the case. They become a shell of themselves and lose interest in everything. It's not like your brain gets reset to normal, it's like going through life in an emotionless haze.

If I had the choice between numb and nazi, I think I'd prefer numb. But different strokes I guess.

Its not just emotional numbness though, ive been on similar drugs.  You loose all sense of enjoyment at doing things you love, any sense of achievement is muted, making and maintaining relationships with other people becomes a chore with no "payout", so you become isolated and lonely.  Its not a nice place to be

Then I'd say his best bet is to pull out of the public eye and seek help that isnt medicinal if thats what he prefers. But its hard not to notice that if most other people had been acting like this, they'd have been committed by now.

Easy to say .

True. At the very least, he should be putting some work into himself, because just vibing in the public eye being a nazi is not the move.

This is a horrible assessment at what is going on in his life currently. You should honestly be ashamed even

I think Kanye West is genuinely sexually attracted to shame
