Kanye is suffering from mental illness and was off his medication while simultaneously having millions of dollars, adoring fans, and cameras in his face 24/7/365. I think most of us would do something stupid in that situation. I don't really get why you would "despise" someone for being ill.

I doubt most of us would support exterminating people if we were sick, but who knows

You'd be surprised at how easily otherwise intelligent people can get swept up into violent ideologies.

Bobby Fischer is just one example of a bright mind corrupted by ideology. There are countless.

I'm not sure you've got a solid grasp of mental illness and how it affects the way you think.

I don't know if you're unaware of the entire saga or if you've done some stuff you regret in the past but going on Alex Jones with Nick Fuentes is not something I'm giving a mental-health-pass on. I'm open to feedback that I'm an ableist jerk but I'm also not holding my breath.
