The rapper formerly known as Kanye West directed viewers to his website, where the homepage was selling a T-shirt with a swastika on the front.

If you see someone wearing that shirt, it is only right to deck them in the temple
Enjoying his Swastee in his Swasticar
Sad to see that the dude’s in this state. He clearly needs psychiatric care, not a platform from which to yell his absurdities.
He knows he’s black, right?
I think he forgot that a long time ago.
Does this mean whatever payment processing center is used for his site is also pro, whatever this is?
It’s shopify, which requires an account to report. So if anyone has a shopify account, please do the needful. Can probably be considered a threat of violence or terrorist organization, or both.
I have an account.
When I tried to report it as terrorist organization, the form gets stuck in a redirect loop. It’s broken.
Threat of violence worked but I needed to provide my full name, phone number and address which felt pretty shit.
Useful fucking idiot.
And I was wrong about who was the dumbest person on Earth.
I couldn’t have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago. WTF is happening? Maybe CERN did break the universe with the LHC
I couldn’t have taken enough drugs to write this timeline 20 years ago.
You must have been really optimistic to expect something different out of these morons, to me it’s more surprising they managed to keep quiet until now
Harambee was our anchor being. Everything’s been fraying at the edges since that day.
We had a second chance with Peanut the Squirrel. We fucked it up again.

The world really ended in 2012. We’re living through the blooper reel.
I’m convinced that the timeline split happened in 1971.
ew a bitcoin evangelist site
No, this is just a Nazi who has always been shitty. If you were fooled by him at any point, then now is the time to question your judgment. If not, then good for you. But you’re still not infallible… None of us are.
Someone needs to stop using the What If machine!
“I’m gonna ask it the dumbest thing I can think of: What if Donald Trump became president?”
“Oh yeah? I’m gonna ask it what if Donald Trump lost re-election, then got re-elected?”
machine explodes
We’d use the universal translator instead, but it just spouts crazy gibberish.
Almost the plot to Cloverfield paradox
Oh stop it you stupid leftys. Maybe he just like the design of it. Maybe he’s autistic. Anyway no need to start calling everyone nazis.
/s **** it's a joke**** please everyone be aware that I'm joking** Sorry but I need this to be crystal clear, it's a long story.Anybody know what the official shop site is called? On yeezy(dot)com is only one item and that’s a white r-Shirt with a black swastika on the front.
The shop feels broken tho, because there are almost no ux elements.
Is he doing this to remain relevant?
This is the official website. It’s linked on the wiki page for Kanye and Kanye has advertised it on his Insta. I thought it was fake too, because it’s incredibly poorly designed. You can’t even see the price of the shirt until it’s in your cart.
And suddenly Chappelle’s blind black man KKK member is truth.
I actually didn’t know that this was legal to do in the U.S.
There aren’t a lot of jurisdictions in the world that ban the sale or display of the swastika (in Nazi-supporting circumstances). Australia and Germany are the only ones that come to mind, and Australia has only done so very recently (this year).
Don’t forget about Austria, although I believe that won’t be for much longer as the next head of state is openly a Hitler fanboy
I didn’t know, but that makes sense. My state in Aus also went further and banned the salute, and has actually prosecuted people under that law.
I’m not sure if displaying a swastika is banned, if it is I wasn’t aware of that.
Most states banned the salute. The federal govt recently banned it too, with mandatory incarceration.
It’s apparently encouraged even
GOOD! Let assholes put a literal target on their chest. I’m fine with this. Fuck me, I should start selling Nazi merchandise so I can track them.
What’s insane is that FOX allowed this commercial to air in the first place. I’m sure someone at FOX will say “We had no idea he would put this on his site”, which we’ll all know is bullshit because they scrutinize the fuck out of every Super Bowl ad before it gets to air. There is a 0% chance that nobody knew about this beforehand.
At least the next Superbowl halftime show is going to be interesting:
Guys, just because he went on Alex Jones to make racist jokes and talk about how much he loves Hitler doesn’t mean he’s a nazi
Do we know when the website was changed? He could well have changed it the moment the advert went live.
I was on his website yesterday and there was no swastika then. There was “white lives matter” and a bunch of nazi-adjacent symbols with plausible deniability but no outright swastika.
What a strange chap.
Strange is an understatement
I heard it didn’t air in all regions?
This dude is off the fucking rails, batshit insane.
And what’s sad is that he’s wealthier than everyone that uses lemmy, combined.
Why the fuck does good shit always happen to bad people, and good people always get shit on?
At least you’re not a black Nazi, bud. Money doesn’t equal happiness. I bet he’s miserable.
Money does, however, buy security. Money would solve all of my worst problems and make the other ones easier to handle. We don’t need a lot, but sure as hell need more than we have now and people like him don’t deserve a damn fucking cent(besides any universal social programs because that’s what universal means and I ain’t gunna be that guy).
Money doesn’t buy happiness, but a lack of money is sure to bring unhappiness.
It can’t buy happiness but it can pay off my unhappiness debt.
Probably not a popular opinion around here, but this is actually one of the rare cases where he is (was) extremely talented at his main thing (producing). That doesn’t mean he deserves that disproportionate amount of wealth, but he’s contributed more to culture than elon ever could.
This is basically undeniable, but what really makes me sad is the artists who don’t seem to be Nazis or even right wing but still support this dude and stand up for him because he’s been so influential on many of them.
You don’t get wealthy if you’re good, because it takes a certain amount of greed and materialism
