Kanye West might be slightly schizophrenic. But that doesn’t mean we can’t learn something from the man.
By “learn from,” I don’t mean that we should trust him as a reliable source of information. Rather, we can use Kanye as an object lesson, observe him, and draw conclusions about psychology and politics.
Why is Kanye West obsessed with Hitler and Jews? Why is he obsessed with white women and interracial porn? What’s going on, big guy?
To understand Kanye, we have to go all the way back to 1977, the year of Kanye’s birth. His father, Ray West, was a Black Panther. The Black Panthers were a black nationalist organization, meaning that they believed in establishing a black ethnostate. Ray married a black woman with the intention of having black children.
Kanye, however, was raised in white suburbs. Although he was born in Atlanta in 1977, due to the divorce of his parents, he moved at the age of three to Oak Lawn, Illinois.
Chicago has always been racially segregated, but segregation increases the further you go back. In 2000, when Kanye was 23, the black population of Oak Lawn was only 1.21%. Kanye was a tiny minority.
We can imagine Kanye’s identity conflict, being the son of Black Panther, but being surrounded by white people in a safe neighborhood. His father told him to love his race and be ethnocentric; his lived experience drew him closer to white people. This internal conflict led him to fetishize white women, like Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, and now Bianca Censori. He has spread rumors of having had sex with Ivanka Trump.
If we go all the way back to 2005, Kanye was rapping about growing up poor in the hood with a Jewish singer, Adam Levine. Except that never happened. Kanye’s mom was a college professor. He never experienced police brutality, the humiliation of food stamps, or drug dealing. He had a lily-white childhood. Much of Kanye’s persona, like most in show business, is a lie. It’s a front designed by a conglomeration of interests: the desire of the audience to hear something “raw” and relatable; the desire of producers to push a message; the desire of performers to make an impact and be seen as “authentic.” You can’t rap about growing up in a 99% white neighborhood with your mom giving lectures on Bell Hooks and Maya Angelou.
Kanye was woke before it was cool.
When Kanye turned 18, a majority of Americans did not approve of interracial marriage. Interracial marriage was as controversial in 1995 as gay marriage was in 2008. Kanye was intimately familiar with his status as an outsider.
In Jesus Walks (2004), Kanye even inserts racial consciousness into religion:
“Yeah, we at war with terrorism, racism, but most of all, we at war with ourselves…
I ain’t here to argue about his [Jesus’] facial features.”
Diamonds from Sierra Leone (2005) depicts a white family being consumed by blood, while a black girl watches silently.
In the music video for Touch the Sky (2005), “Kanyevil’s” black ex-girlfriends complain,
“When he get on [gets rich], he gonna leave your ass for a white girl. What you want, a barbie?”
After being nagged and harassed by the black women, “Kanyevil” passionately kisses blonde porn star, Pamela Anderson, before being launched into a rocket and falling to his death. Mythologically, “Evil Kanyevil” represents Icarus, who flies too close to the sun and is punished. Karmically, Kanye’s sin is race-mixing, and his punishment is his “fall from grace.”
In the music video for The New Workout Plan (2004), he prominently features the blonde model Anna Nicole Smith as the “prize” for winning the competition.
In Runaway (2010), Kanye and his light-skinned girlfriend watch a British-imperial marching band carry a giant head of white-skinned Michael Jackson.
Flanking the British imperialists are Klan members in red hoods.
Next, Kanye attends a dinner party, where all the guests are dark-skinned, and all the servants are white-skinned.
The dinner guests represent Kanye’s black nationalism, while his bird girlfriend represents his obsession with light-skinned women.
In Touch the Sky, the conflict between black nationalism and white fetishism results in Kanye dying in a rocket launch. In Runaway, it is the girl who flies up into the sky like a rocket.
How did this black-white dynamic transform into antisemitism? New Slaves (2013) provides a few reasons:
You see it’s leaders and it’s followers / But I'd rather be a dick than a swallower…
Y’all throwin’ contracts at me / You know that niggas can’t read…
So go and grab the reporters / So I can smash their recorders
See, they’ll confuse us with some bullshit / Like the New World Order
Meanwhile the DEA / Teamed up with the CCA
They tryna lock niggas up / They tryna make new slaves
Ostensibly, this is a song against white supremacy, but if you view Kanye’s rant as directed against “the New World Order,” then the etymology of the term leads very quickly to antisemitism. Gary Allen, the John Birch Society, and John Schmitz were the popularizers of the term, and they used it, with various degrees of explicit or implicit reference, to refer to a Jewish World Order, or Zionist Occupied Government.
Already, in 2013, Kanye developed a hatred of the mainstream media, the New World Order, and was heavily into conspiracy theories.
In Black Skinhead (2013), he references the afrocentrist claim that the Egyptians were black:
I’m aware I’m a king / Back out the tomb, bitch
Based on Touch the Sky and Runaway, it seems that Kanye believes he deserves to be killed for the sin of interracial sex. This is reinforced in Black Skinhead, when he connects his interracial fetishism with his fear of death:
They see a black man with a white woman / At the top floor they gone come to kill King Kong
In Bound 2 (2013), Kanye features Kim Kardashian as a blonde in a wheat field.
When asked in 2018 what caused his 2016 mental breakdown on stage, he replied that it was due to “being controlled. Manipulation. Like being a pawn in a chess piece of life.”1 In this interview, he had dyed his hair blonde.
It was in 2016 that Kanye began wearing contacts to make his eyes appear lighter.
In Ye vs. the People (2018), he rapped:
See that’s the problem with this damn nation
All Blacks gotta be Democrats, man
We ain’t made it off the plantation
Fuck who you choose as your political party
This set the stage for Kanye’s move into gospel music as a desire to remake himself and be reborn. Kanye’s new Trump-supporting Christian image caused conflict with Kim Kardashian, who, through Bruce Jenner, was pioneering trans acceptance. They began the process of divorce in 2020.
Kanye isn’t physically suicidal, but in response to trauma, he desires to spiritually die and be reborn. This tendency may have been accentuated by his near death experience in 2002, when he suffered life-threatening injuries in a car crash.
Kanye’s death-drive is mediated through his interracial fetishization. He wants to die and be reborn, and he sees race as the vector for his death. He fantasizes about overcoming the racial conflict within him through death and ascension to heaven. As he struggles with his divorce to Kim Kardashian, losing custody of his children, being cancelled for his Trump support, and his pathetic failure as a presidential candidate, the racial death-drive became more intense and reached a new peak.
Hitler is the ultimate racist. Kanye views racism as a means of transforming or saving himself through death and rebirth. Embracing Hitler meant embracing antisemitism.
This wasn’t difficult, because antisemitism was already accessible through Kanye’s knowledge of the Black Hebrew Israelites, the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan, and his troubles with the music industry.
kanye’s half-truth
Kanye contends that the music industry is evil, and it’s because Jews control it. He cites his Jewish personal trainer, Harley Pasternak, as trying to drug him and act as his “handler.” He then combines his personal experience with statistics of Jewish overrepresentation to make the case that Jews are destroying America, because they lack Christian morality. That argument is a little difficult to make now that Kanye is posting porn to Twitter, but we’ll ignore that part for a second.
Jews are prominent in the music industry, just as Indians are prominent among Kenyan bankers, and Chinese are prominent in Malaysia. No, there is no “Indian Talmud” or “Chinese Protocols” that teaches them how to lie their way to the top and control the goyim. Economic overrepresentation has more to do with competence than with malicious conspiracy.
If the music industry was run by Indians, or blacks, or Chinese, it wouldn’t necessarily be nicer, more fair, or less cut-throat. As an industry, entertainment has always been seedy, one step away from child prostitution. After 100 years of Hollywood, we now have the evidence to say that, whatever you think of the Catholic church, child abuse in Hollywood is much worse. This isn’t just a problem for the American entertainment industry, but is the story of every entertainment industry around the world.
It doesn’t matter if it’s run by Asians, as in K-Pop, or by Jews, or by blacks. Entertainment, as a business, is inherently prone to abuse. This is often because the most talented performers in music, acting, or art don’t necessarily have the Machiavellian business-intelligence to understand when they are being manipulated, and they fall easily into contracts that they can barely read. It’s not just a matter of intelligence, however.
If you take two kids who are good at singing, which one will become a star? The one who has self-respect and dignity, and knows their worth? Or the one who is willing to work like a slave, and do anything for fame? The answer is self-explanatory. The entertainment industry selects for individuals who are desperate for fame, and who will say yes to anything. This flock of codependent victims is easy prey for manipulators and abusers.
Other fields, like accounting or chemistry, aren’t nearly as abusive, because these skills are less passion-based and more results-based. Any industry that judges you based on your devotion and your obsession will tend to attract unstable individuals. Anyone who is attracted to that industry is much more likely to be either an abuser or a victim.
This is a better explanation for the vicious dynamic of entertainment than the overrepresentation of Jews. One could also cite the overrepresentation of Italians in organized crime and the porn industry, the relative underrepresentation of blacks in hockey, or the success of European colonialism as examples where a group became predominant without any need for a secret conspiracy or malicious intent.
Ethnic groups come into conflict, and this creates hatred. During WWII, many American servicemembers developed prejudice against Japanese people, and by the same token, Japanese soldiers caricatured American soldiers as rapists and barbarians. Whites were called oni, meaning “demon.”
The hatred between whites and Japanese during WWII doesn’t mean that either whites or Japanese are themselves inherently evil, in ontological terms. Similarly, the enmity between musicians and record label producers doesn’t require evil on the part of the black musicians or the Jewish producers at the level of ethnic ontology.
The individual Japanese soldiers or American soldiers who participated in atrocities could be called evil, just as individual black criminals or Jewish producers might participate in evil. This is then generalized to “whites conspire to destroy the other races,” or “blacks are inherently evil,” or “Japanese will always try to trick you,” or “Jews hate Jesus, so they try to destroy America.”
how big was hitler’s penis?
If Kanye was just a standard conservative antisemite this would not be very remarkable. There are millions of conservative antisemites living in America. Most of them are smart enough to not shout “I love Hitler!” and instead they criticize Netanyahu, Israel, Zionism, the Globalists, the woke left, non-Christians, cultural Marxists, or egalitarians, using code-words. Candace Owens calls them “Frankists.”
Kanye is interesting in that he clearly does love Hitler, and is honest enough to say it, but he also really loves interracial porn. How can these two positions be reconciled?
If we move outside the realm of ideological consistency, and instead look at psychological and emotional consistency, then Kanye makes more sense. Kanye is a person who, from a young age, has always been obsessed with being famous. Like Trump, he is a narcissist. But not all narcissists are the same. Some need positive attention; others, like Milo Yiannopoulos, love to be hated. Milo is an important character in Kanye’s life, because he helped connect him with characters on the far right like Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes.
Kanye sits somewhere between the extremes of Trump (needs to be loved) and Milo (needs to be hated). Kanye’s vacillation between needing to be loved and needing to be hated causes him to swing between being a conservative Christian who wants to bring everyone together and heal the racial divide, and being a “black skinhead” who loves Hitler and wants to “go death con 3 On Jewish People.”
Kanye’s extremism is understandable, given his psychological instability, which expresses itself in a racial fetishist death-drive from the guilt of growing up as a black nationalist in an all-white suburb. It is telling, however, that a large segment of supposed Catholic Traditionalist white nationalists have been trying to ride his coat tails.
Kanye is a human being, with sympathetic and beautiful traits. He is talented, creative, and artistic. Some of his music sounds good, depending on your taste. He has millions of dedicated fans. But he has deep flaws which he attempts to “break through” with political pornography. He wants to shock the world (and himself) in order to free himself from the fear of being not good enough for the black community; being a race traitor; being a lost and lonely black kid in a white suburb. He is trying to break out of a mental prison, and he scapegoats the Jews as the prison guards.
The fact that some white nationalists view him as a “leader” and an asset to their cause, and are continuously “surprised” when he reverts to porn culture and degeneracy, shows the superficiality and self-deception inherent to that movement. Most white nationalists share the same sort of death-drive and identity crisis that Kanye has. A surprising number of white nationalists are either Jewish or mixed race. They are attempting to “break through” their own struggle with identity by taking on an extreme position.
The energy which animates the dissident right is clearly articulated by Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes:
The people with the greatest amount of identity confusion also become the most racist.
Hitler was born in Austria, but became a fervent German nationalist. He was quite literally born “on the border.” He hated Austria, and viewed its multinational model of empire as the antithesis of everything he stood for. The “borderline identity” creates internal contradictions which are often expressed in a need for chauvinism, dominance, narcissism, sadism, and extremism. Take wiggers, for example.
Woops, wrong image file.
the woke alternative to racism.
Race and gender are the two most sacred and taboo forms of identity in America today. As a result, borderline personalities express their political energies through racial ideologies. If we were living in 15th century England or Czechia, such personalities would become proto-Protestant revolutionaries. Earlier on, they would have been attracted to the Cathar (“purity”) movement. Even further back, such people became Mazdakites.
Christianity was a movement of ethnically and culturally mixed (“Hellenized”) Jews who were attempted to resolve the conflict between their Graeco-Roman side and their Jewish side. The resolution of ethnic conflict is a feature of all imperial religions, including strains of Hinduism and even certain aspects of the Indo-European religion (Vanir vs Aesir). The caste system of ancient Egypt had a lineage-based or ethnic quality, and was likely derived from the intermixing of different tribes which coalesced (or were enslaved) in the Nile River Valley.
Wokism follows in this vein, attempting to resolve ethnic conflict by creating hyper-sensitivity around race. The intersectionality of gender with race has to do with the fact that homophobia is a form of identity exclusion. Like ethno-genic spread2 or religious evangelism, LGBTQ+ identity functions like a tribe with an in-group and an out-group. Wokism treats all these tribal distinctions in the same way:
It establishes an oppressor/oppressed distinction;
It advocates a slave revolt of the oppressed against the oppressor, and assigns “ally” status to those oppressors who promulgate this slave revolt.
This is nothing new:
The Indo-Europeans utilized slave revolts against Neolithic civilization in Europe;
Joseph was a liberated slave, and Moses advocated for a slave revolt against the Egyptians;
Christ advocated for a slave revolt against the Romans;
the Conquistadors utilized slave revolts against the Aztecs;
after 1834, the British justified their 19th century imperialism as part of a global crusade against slavery, as part of the “white man’s burden”;
America justified intervention in two World Wars in order to liberate the oppressed from German domination, on the grounds of the self determination of small nations like Belgium and Poland.
When Kanye started his career, he was woke. Wokeness is the popular response to identity confusion and conflict, and it works fairly well. There are costs, of course:
affirmative action and DEI do discriminate against white men;
zoning laws and expensive housing result from outlawing freedom of association;
hate crimes by whites are aggressively prosecuted, even when no violence occurs, while white victims of hate crimes are ignored, excused, or justified.
All things considered, I think that the net effect of wokeness is positive. Wokeness isn’t the most fair or efficient system, but it prevents whites from rounding up blacks and slaughtering hundreds of them, as occurred 106 years ago. The cost of wokeness is probably 10% of GDP, but this pales in comparison to the cost of murder and warfare.
conclusion.
In a weird way, Kanye West is still fighting racism. By professing his love for Hitler, and combining it with interracial porn, he is garnering the ironic support of white nationalists and causing them to listen to rap. White nationalist Isabella Moody records her baby dancing to Kanye’s rap songs. It’s ironic, but at some point, I have to wonder if this isn’t a net positive for white-black relations.
If the racist white people are letting their baby daughter dance to the music of interracial fetishist, maybe Hitler worship can heal the black-white racial divide.
From 2001 to 2013, there were no race riots in America. Maybe this is because both blacks and whites were hyper-focused on hating Muslims during this time. The best way to bring together two groups who hate each other is to introduce a third group which they can hate together. There’s nothing like hatred to bring people together.
That’s the plot of Independence Day (1996), where a black and Jewish guy unite all the countries of the world together behind the United States to defeat an alien invasion.
Antisemitism is a powerful force at bringing blacks and whites together, just as wokism is a powerful force for suppressing racial conflict. If the choice is between antisemitism and wokism, however, I will be using he/him pronouns and sitting with the trans kids. I’d rather let Caitlyn Jenner use the women’s restroom than endorse or deny the Holocaust.
Centrists would prefer that we find some middle path, which is neither woke nor Hitlerian. But the irony of the “centrist” position is that it is quickly assimilating the “woke” position. So here’s Elon, Trump, and Trump’s granddaughter embracing a trans woman in all her glory:
Culture moves strangely, in more of a zig-zag than a straight line. Whatever we’re experiencing right now is not sustainable or eternal. Culture tomorrow will not look like culture today. That doesn’t mean we’re going back to the 1950s, or the 1590s, but it does mean that things are changing.
I embrace wokism not as the eternal dogma of the universe, but as a temporary defensible position in a world which is undergoing a global revolution in technology, culture, religion, and morality. But although Kanye sits on the other side of the fence from me, I see him as grappling with the same problems:
What does it mean to be human? Who are we? What is worth dying for — or getting canceled for? What are people afraid of? What’s the next breakthrough? What taboos or idols need smashing?
Despite my ideological disagreements, I recognize the revolutionary spirit as leftist, at the deepest level. That is what moves humanity forward out of superstition, conformity, and tradition. Where will we end up? Who can tell? Maybe it’s not the goal that matters, but the journey. And whether we hate each other or love each other, we’re all on this journey together.
50 seconds into the interview.
The Magyarization of Europeans in the Carpathian basin had little genetic change, but created an entirely new ethnicity which previously did not exist in Europe.
There's something sinister that comes through in the end of this piece. The focus on peace between the races makes it clear that the priority is preventing the kshatriyas from enacting any sort of violence. Violence committed by the dalits or the brahmins against the kshatriyas is merely an unfortunate occurrence that 'should be' suppressed, but isn't as important as the reverse. If this is the fundamental attitude that animates leftism / deep leftism, can't vibe with it.
Your analysis is great until you start to delve into history and historical patterns. You take too many liberties in making sweeping and baseless interpretations that you attempt to pass off as historical fact and laws of nature. For example, Christianity began as a Zealot and Ebonite adjacent movement, not as a movement by Hellenized Jews. Jesus was not a Hellenized Jew from the upper class but a Galillean peasant. Paul was knowledgeable in Greek customs but he came from the Phariseeic tradition which emphasized traditional purity. Overall, there is no evidence that early Jewish Christians were Hellenized Jews. Furthermore, when the torch of Christianity passed from Judea to Greece, it passed to the Greek Gentiles, not to Hellenized Jews in Greece, because Paul preached to the Gentiles, NOT to Hellenized Jews. Another example is your claim that the Indo Europeans utilized slave revolts in neolithic Europe. There is absolutely zero evidence of such revolts anywhere in neolithic Europe, even from Greece and the Italian Peninsula where we have the most archeological remains from neolithic European civilization, much less of the tactical use of such revolts by Indo European invaders.
