For once I think it’s causation and not corelation.

Oh no it is. West has iirc quite severe schizophrenia, and he’s not taking his meds for them due to paranoia (the meds are “stifling his creativity” you know).
He wasn’t a Nazi before. Since he’s off his meds, he turned total Nazi. And iirc in the brief time where he started taking his meds again he apologised for some of the Nazi stuff. And now he’s off them again so it’s Nazi o’ clock.
Seems very causally related tbh.

Have you any inkling how incredibly insulting it is to imply that schizophrenics are prone to be Nazis?
He is a Nazi. He may have not been one before, but he is now. This is independent of his diagnosis.

I’m not saying all schizophrenics are prone to be Nazis, don’t put words in my mouth. I’m well aware of what the Nazis did.
I’m saying that West’s schizophrenia is likely making him prone to Nazi sympathies, evidenced by his apparent lack of those sympathies when he is on his meds. In his case these two are very strongly correlated. Schizophrenia is a very complex mental disease that manifests differently in different people. We don’t know exactly what goes on in his head, but we know he isn’t sound of mind. Hitler is theorized to have had a form of paranoid schizophrenia too. West specifically seems to believe that black people are “the real jews” and that Hitler was therefore right to kill the “imposters” or something stupid. The reasoning he presents does fit with paranoid schizophrenia.
To be clear, schizophrenia is a disease that we know how to manage, and most schizophrenics do so just fine. West in particular is an idiot for not taking his meds. And of course his diagnosis doesn’t absolve him from the responsibility of his actions. But they are clearly related in his case.
He is also egotistical and seems to have some kind of messiah-complex. That does appear to just be him being a piece of shit.

Shut up. The guy got exploited by the music industry, why do you think they all end up overdosed, crazy or murdered?
It’s not insulting to recognize mental disease might lead to do things you don’t want to do. In fact it’s a pretty sane legal mechanism to protect neuroatypical people.
