why do you think it's an "us vs them" mentality?I always was intrigued by the “us” word that gets thrown around
Kanye isn’t for “us” anymore. His music isn’t for “us”, his clothes aren’t for “us”...
His music has got exponentially better if you ask me, but I also would never want to hear another college dropout type album. I’m ok with leaving things in the past
His clothes are priced comparably to most low tier lux brands
We need to stop putting so much weight on entertainer’s pov. I don’t think Kanye agrees with the bigotry that Trump portrays but i’m sure he agrees with the “free thought”, marketing ability and polarizing traits. I think he has purposely left tweets open ended to create the dialogue and also show how people have a hard time seeing things from views besides their own.
The key is nuance and as a society we clearly lack that. It’s us vs them and thats with almost every agenda that is a hashtag on social media.
