A similar approach is being taken now, but we are not living in the same reality anymore. Just last month, richest man in the world Elon Musk (and a friend of Kanye’s) appeared to give a Nazi salute at the President of the United States’ inauguration. Ye’s diatribes may be accepted by many as ludicrous, but as Nazism becomes increasingly “mainstream”, his comments are feeling less like the words of a mental patient and more like additions to a manifesto. A door has been opened and his words are leaking through.
