#if anyone can make it better than me thatd be rad

[notahorseindisguise]

trying to work my way through the ye west alex jones interview. its terrible.

i do have one gripe with everything ive read about it, though:

theres a point i saw where the point ye is trying to make is ‘the bible says we should love everyone’. he says, quote, “God says love everyone, so if i say, i love the Zionists, that, that cancelled my account, then i can say, i love... (stammers a bit) i do love Hitler.”

then alex jones proceeds to mock him and say “thatd make a great tshirt, ‘i love Hitler’.”

listen, what i wanna say here is that you are quite literally taking him out of context. he is an anti-Semite, obviously, but dont misrepresent his points, otherwise youre just spreading misinformation. yes, even left leaning misinformation is bad. 

to reiterate, i havent watched the whole interview yet, but im planning on watching it to get a proper understanding of what happened. so there could be a point earlier/later in the video where ye does explicitly say he loves Hitler and condones his actions. but at this specific moment (which i think may be the moment people are pointing to, saying he loves Hitler), he goes on to say “i do love Hitler, i do love the Zionists, i love everyone.” (his emphasis, not mine)

once again, i dont support him at all, but i went into this thinking he outright said he loved Hitler and his actions, but he’s clearly trying to make a point here, the point being “love everyone”.

i know this post is already so long but im just anxious because this post is the most likely post to ever get me cancelled, so one more time: i DONT support ye, im not “on his side”, hes an anti-Semite. but the moment you start spreading misinformation about someone, youre giving them more power. they can very easily prove you wrong, then claim that the media is attacking them or whatever, and then turn the situation around to their benefit. so what im saying is even if its a morally disgusting awful person, try not to misrepresent them cause thats counterintuitive.

#idk if this post makes any sense at all #and i probably couldve made it shorter #but you get it #ill watch the rest of the almost 3 hour long interview sometime soon #rn i need to do my bio assignment #help #anyway yeah i hope you understand the point im making #if anyone can make it better than me thatd be rad #corntent
