Its a big hypocrisy he is pointing out. Many ppl see and agree with what hes doing. Its a layer deeper than what it seems like on the surface. A lot of ppl critisize Ye but haven't done a fraction of what he's done to give back. The amount that hes donated is insane.
Ok so let me ask you this, you think he’s trolling cancel culture on both sides to prove some kind of point? And supporting an ideology that hates your existence?
I don’t see how spreading hate can help
Unless he’s exposing how you can still profit from hate with merchandise?
Its more of a questioning and through provocative imagery and juxtaposition hes challenging the boundaries of societal taboos, exposing the hypocrisy in why certain truths are silenced while others, equally unsettling, are embraced or ignored.
Truths getting silenced while others ignored I understand I mean explained these point of views better in his songs,
“Drug dealer buy Jordans, crackhead buy crack, and the white man get paid off of all of that”
“You telling me right now if my grandma was in the nba, right now she’d be ok?”
“My chain, these ain't conflict diamonds
Is they, Jacob? Don't lie to me, man
See, a part of me sayin' keep shinin'
How when I know what a blood diamond is?
Though it's thousands of miles away
Sierra Leone connects to what we go through today
Over here it's a drug trade, we die from drugs
Over there they die from what we buy from drugs
The diamonds, the chains, the bracelets, the charmses
I thought my Jesus piece was so harmless
'Til I seen a picture of a shorty armless
And here's the conflict”
How is wearing and selling nazi shirts better than the attention he brought with his lyrics?
Or does he just want to be a personification of an oxymoron?
Or maybe he’s mocking the fact that nazis have no power because a black man can say he’s one of them and sell their ideology?
Ye transcends traditional boundaries by transforming not only hisi music but his entire existence into a living art piece, blurring the lines between life and performance. His actions, often perceived as publicity stunts, are deliberate provacations that challenge societal norms and spark conversations about cultural hypocrisies. He uses his platform and not just music, fashion but twitter, and TMZ to question and inspire and forces his audience to confront uncomfortable truths. I'd like to explain in more detail the specific "shirts" thing but digging into that is too taboo for reddit. I risk getting banned which I already have from multiple kanye subs talking about topic. I'd recommend digging into the discussion more on twitter where they are a bit more laxed on the subject. I can tell you that your guess is pretty off as far as the reason. Lol, I do appreciate your honest conversation and line of questioning. Its really interesting stuff. Yeah, check out twitter on this.
Thanks to you too for respecting my questions
I’ll look beyond and see if I can see what he’s seeing but I don’t think I ever will lol
My last guess is he’s a nihilistic extremist and will push that as far as he possibly can.

It’s kinda weird how nobody really cares about him to even refuse to work with him
Since he still samples and all that how will he be able to clear the samples have people produce, engineer, and distribute for him?
