Just a year after this happened and it seems like everybody has forgotten about it. Yea he lost his adidas partnership but nowadays, he's been a welcomed surprise guest at Travis shows, I'm hearing his songs being popped off on in clubs and parties, and he's been going viral on TikTok with tons of praise and no criticism or mention of him being a Nazi in the comments

Is it Americans having the memory of a goldfish? Americans not really hating Hitler/Nazis/anti-semitism that much? Kanye's music is just too good to ignore? Americans just loving to deepthroat and worship anybody that's famous?

Let me know when he comes down from his, I guess, year-long manic episode and apologizes with some comprehension of the gravity of doing Holocaust denial and being trotted around by that neonazi fuck.

I am, in no way, defending Kanye. The premise of the OP post is that we discovered something about Kanye we didn't previously know when he went all mask off, and the OP is wondering why that didn't result in him getting cancelled. I'm saying Kanye has been a mass murderer for multiple decades, so anyone conscientious was already not a Kanye fan, so the premise of the OP post was ridiculous. The only reason it was about Kanye and not "When will Swift get cancelled for failing to use her immense wealth to mitigate child hunger" is because Kanye has bipolar disorder.

Kanye apologizing while holding onto his wealth would obviously be an entirely empty gesture. Until we illegal-to-say, round them all up, then illegal-to-say, y'all just have to accept 90% of pop culture is made by fascists.
