Spotify, SoundCloud and other platforms have pulled the song, but its spread underscores the challenges tech platforms face in removing content that violate their policies.
Spotify, SoundCloud and other tech platforms have worked to remove a new song from Ye that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and its video have continued to proliferate online including across X, where it has racked up millions of views.
On various mainstream and alternative tech platforms this week, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has been able to share his latest song, titled “Heil Hitler,” along with its companion title, “WW3,” which similarly glorifies Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust.
While some platforms have taken steps to attempt to pull down the song, others have seemingly let it spread freely.
They also included flubber. Flubber represented the Trinity - because it is neither a solid nor a liquid. God is a translucent Shrek made out of flubber.
That was the gist of it, across thirty minutes. The friends next to us were having a conversation about how both of them were vampires and their dad had power over storms.
It was a college volunteer project where I was trying to come up with volunteer projects to connect folks to the community. Was fun - we crocheted granny squares for baby rhinos.
I worked in mental health for years. Some of my most interesting patients were also some of the kindest and most compassionate. One lady was convinced that a famous director was her husband, and had (legit, in her record) walked across five states to accept his psychic wedding proposal. When another patient was in crisis, she was the first one to find us and tell us, and if we weren’t there right away, she would sit with them and reassure them until we could make it.
And then there was the dude who had scammed nearly a thousand retirees because he could–and having psychotic delusions was just something on the side.
Being mentally ill is not a precursor for evil. However, Kanye seems to have made it his mission.
I so wanted this to read:
You sick pervert.
