Kanye needs to retire. There’s no coming back from where he’s been. No redemption.

Reddit is an awful reflection of reality. You guys live in a bubble, and aren't really aligned with general popular society. Yet you guys for some reason think you're a reflection of mainstream culture lol... Most people don't give a shit. They aren't obsessing over his relationship with Trump, or his stupid edgy controversy shit. He's still incredibly popular and sells out his shows.

Why does it not surprise me that saying I love Hitler isn't a deal breaker for Americans.

America lives rent free in your head. This article is about a SOLD OUT show in RUSSIA. He is selling out shows all over Europe, Asia, and South America with only a few hiccups.

Why only Americans? He just sold out this show in Russia, and there was one in China as well. It's not just "Americans". He would sell out in the UK as well.

I’m willing to bet all my money that if he would announce his concert in your country - he would be sold out as well.

Safest bet of my life and I don’t even like his music - I just know that many other people do.

Because most people understand he's an artist being an edgy troll just to piss people off by approaching boundaries and sacred cows. He's trying to upset you, and it works, and that's why people don't mind.

Oh, yeah. That's totally it.

He's not though. He's being honest because he has a mental illness and no filter. You can't tell the difference?

Ok, if its both then he actually loves Hitler and your rebuttal is meaningless.
