The rapper formerly known as Kanye West directed viewers to his website, where the homepage was selling a T-shirt with a swastika on the front.
I couldn’t have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC
Harambee was our anchor being. Everything’s been fraying at the edges since that day.
We had a second chance with Peanut the Squirrel. We fucked it up again.
The world really ended in 2012. We’re living through the blooper reel.
Someone needs to stop using the What If machine!
We’d use the universal translator instead, but it just spouts crazy gibberish.

“I’m gonna ask it the dumbest thing I can think of: What if Donald Trump became president?”
“Oh yeah? I’m gonna ask it what if Donald Trump lost re-election, then got re-elected?”
machine explodes
So that’s what things would be if what’s happening was just a result of a what if machine…
A man can dream, though. A man can dream.
I’m convinced that the timeline split happened in 1971.

I couldn’t have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago.
You must have been really optimistic to expect something different out of these morons, to me it’s more surprising they managed to keep quiet until now
the 2012 mayan apocalipse was real and we are now living in purgatory.
Well the Mayan thing wasn’t supposed to be Apocalyptic; it was supposed be a signal of a “new age.”
… of pain and suffering? if so they were dead on.
No, this is just a Nazi who has always been shitty. If you were fooled by him at any point, then now is the time to question your judgment. If not, then good for you. But you’re still not infallible… None of us are.
This dude is off the fucking rails, batshit insane.
And what’s sad is that he’s wealthier than everyone that uses lemmy, combined.
Why the fuck does good shit always happen to bad people, and good people always get shit on?
At least you’re not a black Nazi, bud. Money doesn’t equal happiness. I bet he’s miserable.
Money does, however, buy security. Money would solve all of my worst problems and make the other ones easier to handle. We don’t need a lot, but sure as hell need more than we have now and people like him don’t deserve a damn fucking cent(besides any universal social programs because that’s what universal means and I ain’t gunna be that guy).
Money doesn’t buy happiness, but a lack of money is sure to bring unhappiness.
It can’t buy happiness but it can pay off my unhappiness debt.
Well he deserves a different level of miserable.
You don’t get wealthy if you’re good, because it takes a certain amount of greed and materialism
Probably not a popular opinion around here, but this is actually one of the rare cases where he is (was) extremely talented at his main thing (producing). That doesn’t mean he deserves that disproportionate amount of wealth, but he’s contributed more to culture than elon ever could.
This is basically undeniable, but what really makes me sad is the artists who don’t seem to be Nazis or even right wing but still support this dude and stand up for him because he’s been so influential on many of them.
He knows he’s black, right?
it’s a shame he died after the show aired.
He’s “one of the good ones” and rich so he’s all good.
That’s always worked out in the past.
This must be proof that equality has been reached. Now he can be a rich bigot too! Welcome!
I think he forgot that a long time ago.
He sounds dumber every time he tries to become relevant again. Does Kim have sile custody? Because I would go after it now.
Doesn’t matter to him. He still wants to be a bigot.
He’s not only convinced they would say he’s “One of the good ones,” but he actually likes the idea.
I’d like to see what the people at the local Nazis convention has to say about it.
What’s insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I’m sure someone at FOX will say “We had no idea he would put this on his site”, which we’ll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.
At least the next Superbowl halftime show is going to be interesting:
There is absolutely no excuse for this u/Remember_the_tooth. This is wildly inappropriate and completely out of date. There is absolutely NO excuse generative AI and MLL can’t remake this for a sequel using actual Kekius and Trumpf for the modern times.
That’s a really good point. Why rehash Mel Brooks’ old content when we have actual live NeoNazis on our front porch. Kudos to you for your insight. We could probably just livestream a rally.
Guys, just because he went on Alex Jones to make racist jokes and talk about how much he loves Hitler doesn’t mean he’s a nazi
I heard it didn’t air in all regions?
Do we know when the website was changed? He could well have changed it the moment the advert went live.
I was on his website yesterday and there was no swastika then. There was “white lives matter” and a bunch of nazi-adjacent symbols with plausible deniability but no outright swastika.
The commercial itself didn’t feature the shirt or any nazi imagery. It was a 30 second clip of Kanye in a dentists chair telling you to visit his website. It only aired in LA.
I don’t understand this timeline.
I saw it. I’m not in Louisiana or Los Angeles.
ADL easily calls out this symbol as one “adopted by Hitler as the primary emblem of the Nazis,” but can’t say the same about an extremely recognizable salute also adopted by Hitler as a primary symbol of the Nazis.
The ADL is a zionist organization that was literally founded to protect a pedophile and child rapist who was, with no relevance to those actions whatsoever, Jewish. Do not take any of their “stances” as being for social justice.
Does this mean whatever payment processing center is used for his site is also pro, whatever this is?
It’s shopify, which requires an account to report. So if anyone has a shopify account, please do the needful. Can probably be considered a threat of violence or terrorist organization, or both.
I have an account.
When I tried to report it as terrorist organization, the form gets stuck in a redirect loop. It’s broken.
Threat of violence worked but I needed to provide my full name, phone number and address which felt pretty shit.
And yet I bet if you tried to set up a storefront with a certain sibling of Mario, you’d get shut down instantly.
If you see someone wearing that shirt, it is only right to deck them in the temple
Wow this is how old now, and I just noticed on the left starts clapping. An applause worthy punch for sure
This stick? I carry it for walking.
soup, soup for my family
lol what the fuck is going on in America?
End stage capitalism
Russia won.
Smart has never been proven to cause rich, but is often correlated with it.
Karma
Oh stop it you stupid leftys. Maybe he just like the design of it. Maybe he’s autistic. Anyway no need to start calling everyone nazis.
/s **** it's a joke**** please everyone be aware that I'm joking** Sorry but I need this to be crystal clear, it's a long story.This feels like something a hexbear user would say in a serious way. (Replace lefties with liberals)
And suddenly Chappelle’s blind black man KKK member is truth.
Adding “Ye” to my list of blocked words
Ye of little faith
I want to but I think the Thunder filter feature is a bit aggressive. I blocked the word “US” but I realized a long while later that it was also blocking all links to my instance sh.itjust.works. I’m afraid I’ll lose all titles with “yesterday” or “yes”.
I’m working on my own lemmy app. It would be cool to have settings for your filters like containers, starts with, ends with, word, part of word. But I also need to strike a balance between average users and power users. Maybe an advanced filter setting would be cool.
Can’t you filter " Ye " or something like that?
I would assume that the filters are case insensitive and filter whitespace but I don’t know for sure. I should test some stuff out.

At least he is isn’t hiding it
This is how low the bar is in 2025
What a timeline to live in…
One cannot help but notice that NBC is directing viewers to said website rather than other websites that are not owned by Kanye West and are not selling swastika T-shirts, which probably have a harder time getting potential customers to show up. I see that they also have pricing information and product photos.
One imagines that social media and similar probably also is directing a lot of people there.
This does suggest that West might be onto something.
In a world where people and organizations didn’t discuss and link to the product, he might not have the same incentive.
Reminds me of an article posted on Lemmy earlier about how there was a call for a bilingual sign to be removed in London. The article was actually about Elon Musk backing this move, about this sign, the controversy, etc. in reality he responded to some dude complaining about it with a reply saying “yes”. Three letters, bam, several journalists are writing articles and people are posting your opinion all over the internet.
Sad to see that the dude’s in this state. He clearly needs psychiatric care, not a platform from which to yell his absurdities.
