ye uploads songs celebrating hitler—biggest audience is X (quelle surprise)

[butters]

Spotify, SoundCloud and other tech platforms have worked to remove a new song from Ye that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and its video have continued to proliferate online including across X, where it has racked up millions of views.

On various mainstream and alternative tech platforms this week, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been able to share his latest song, titled “Heil Hitler,” along with its companion title, “WW3,” which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.

Elon Musk’s X is where the song has found its biggest audience.

On Thursday, Ye uploaded a video for the song on X, where it remained up as of Friday evening and received more than 6.5 million views. At least 12,000 users and a handful of right-wing influencers quickly shared the clip on their pages. Ye’s most recent repost is of a video mixing historical clips of Hitler together with his song as a backing track. He also shared a video on X of influencer Andrew Tate — a self-described misogynist — playing the song in his car. That video has been viewed over 3 million times.

Perhaps Ye does not realize that if Hitler had won the war, the blacks of the world would have been reduced to slavery.

Ye is having a dramatic mental breakdown in real time for the world to watch.

I never liked him, and never thought he came close to being the "genius" he and others describe him as. But it's still sad.

 

[Typo Fu Master]

He strikes me as a bit of a control freak.

Thankfully, I am not on X (still formerly known as Twitter) and can mentally ignore him.

 

[Escierto]

I always wonder why he is still alive?

Ye is gonna Ye.

X: Elon, advertisers, users, etc, have options / control.

The choice to platform / embrace Ye and NAZI garbage says it all (as if the NAZI SALUTE, etc, wasn’t enough)

Anyone staying on (at) X is an enabler (at best) at this point.



We. Told. Them. So.

You seem to have your finger on the pulse of X. How else would you have knowledge of what people are currently discussing?

Do you or do you not have the choice to ignore content you don't like?

Why don't you ignore content you don't like, instead of whining about attacks on free speech that aren't happening?

I do.

Why is butters giving this trash attention? She is competently able to filter out content she doesn't wish to view. The best way to deter a troll is to not give it the attention it craves.

because I'll always call out nazi glorification whenever I see it, particularly when it's spread by those making money from influencing others

 

[Typo Fu Master]

Why are you giving this thread attention?

Because I find it interesting. As do you or you wouldn't be posting.

So, free speech then. I approve.

I have never been on X. I have on occasion played with an Arkansas do- nothing.
