This Week in Stupid (29/04/2018)

hello everyone welcome to this week in stupid for the 29th of April 2018 and what a week this has been because this week we see people leaving the reservations Kanye West I still love Donald Trump oh [ __ ] Kanye West stumped a radio host during a recent phone chat when he offered up support certain battled u.s. leader Donald Trump while most celebrities want the president out of office the rapper told the DJ that he's a fan the DJ revealed all about the weekend chat with Kanye during his Monday show and made it clear he was shocked by the rapper's support for Trump whom he met in 2016 to discuss multicultural issues apparently he said I do love Donald Trump which is then tweeted out by the DJ sidekick saying the biggest takeaway from April in the morning today was Kanye West is still an avid Donald Trump supporter you can process that however you like but if you're waiting for him saying my bad about his Trump statements don't hold your breath he also tweeted out I love the way Candace Owens thinks oh [ __ ] the left-wing media did not take this very kindly can US says I love Donald Trump and likes how Candace Owens challenges conventional black thoughts he went on to talk about demonization he feels like he's been demonized and how as a society we demonize individuals who are trying to speak out and challenge conventional thoughts we demonize them for trying to think differently when really they're just trying to continue to make progress holy [ __ ] despite the controversy surrounding her on YouTube there is no doubt that Candace Owens is correct when she describes black lives matter protesters of whiners who projecting a victim mentality instead of a victim mentality and you can imagine just how the far-left media has taken this The Daily Beast Yeezy red pill how can a West became a far-right media hero the rapper continued his exploration of Magha land on Monday tweeting the conservative Scott Adams rant and hurting the plaudits of Alex Jones and others on the far right when they say far-right they mean conservative so can US had apparently taken a year-long break from Twitter and after returning early this month he started btf owing everybody West's raised eyebrows showing posts from prominent fire writes online supporters of Donald Trump after a series of tweets on Monday the raffish had links from Scott Adams the ardently pro Trump creator of the cartoon Dilbert who recently wrote a book about the 2016 election that Politico dubbed possibly the worst explanation for why Trump won I haven't read the book but I'm guessing that it was probably rather accurate it's conservative digital media organization Prager University tells some of West's recent tweets into inspirational memes all those [ __ ] racists self victimization is a disease one meme read with West's image in the background I'm not exactly the world's great fan of Prager you but come on where's the lie Bill O'Reilly who once liking Kanye West to a disease came to the rapper's defense tweeting that Yeezy finds himself under attack by the American Stalinists I don't care for Bill O'Reilly either but he's not wrong is he other right-wing online personality seize the moments as well dave rubin praised the rapper for exposing the left's true bigotry alt rights ringleader mike Serna vich declared that reality has ripped open by West's tweets and as the Washington Post so astutely points out Kanye West's embrace of Candace Owens has not been well-received wess politics have become increasingly right-leaning attracting criticism from the left and his embrace of Owens who has aligned herself with Alex Jones and conservatives and other fringe thinkers does not appear to have been well received by politically engaged blacks yeah that's the best way to phrase that Washington Post politically engaged blacks you know the people who all think the same because of their skin color really have a problem with what's Kayne West a politically engaged black man is saying about skandhas Owens a politically engaged black woman because they're going against the narrative of blacks because that's just not how blacks think you've got to understand Kanye West is choosing to empower Candis tones instead of anyone else is problematic because Owens is just a black and Colter trying to get paid to be a contrarian she doesn't deserve our attention Candis Owens has proven to be anti black anti LGBTQ and fact hating honestly there are so many more descriptors but I guess Twitter still has a character limit for Katie to align himself with her is messy and dangerous I'm not surprised Kanye loves the way Candice owns things especially after he ran to Trump Tower to genuflect before his King in fact the people who responded most favorably to West's endorsement appear to be other conservative activists many of them young White's men a demographic that is a huge patron of hip-hop all right racists and just in case you're wondering Eugene Scott's entire job is to talk about being black I guess we should probably look at some more reactions shouldn't we - how can a West is praising a woman who is saying that black people maybe shouldn't be perpetual victims for the rest of time so Candice Owens is the communication director for conservative youth organization Turning Point USA and believes that an ideological civil war is happening with it with African American people she said some African Americans are focused on their past and shouting about slavery and others are focused on their futures again how is she wrong I always love a good hot take from a left-wing white guy aside from being an insane alt-right race pimp Candice Owens thinks Donald Trump is literally the Messiah not you can't gave West he might want to reconsider that's just genius Tom good job so what is it exactly that Kanye West is supporting possibly this quote from Candice Owens victim mentality is not cool well it's not I don't know why people like being oppressed I don't either we're oppressed 400 years of slavery Jim Crow by the way none of you guys lived through that your grandparents did and it's embarrassing that you utilize their history you're not living through anything right now not only do I not see anything objectionable with that statement that seems to be factually accurate I think it's exactly the right kind of mindset that black people should adopt to empower themselves to get out of the hole that the left is happy to keep them in but what do you know turns out Kanye West is a Nazi at least again according to the Washington Post this paragraph sums up everything about this article and the left's reaction to Kanye West having some thoughts of his own progressives West's more typical fan base or at least they assume so greeted his return to Twitter with breathless engagement apparently they'd forgot about West's onstage announcement last summer that he'd voted for Trump if he'd voted at all and his post-election visit to Trump Tower but the moment West expressed his approval of Owens quote unquote liberals recoiled eager to signal their lefty credentials they withdrew their support for the moment West went against the party exactly that is exactly the problem of the left if you don't agree with absolutely every single [ __ ] position they hold you're a Nazi and this last paragraph is a fantastic demonstration of the ideological rigidity of the left in the end the weekends west affair was a very public display of people using other people West has hyped up his announced Alvin even further with the publicity he gained from causing controversy right so he can't possibly believe in the things that he's saying this is all about album sales as if he's not rich enough and doesn't have millions of followers already liberals have shown off their willingness to enforce ideological purity no matter who the offender is as if the progressive narrative is the law and contravening it makes you an offender and the far right you know those evil unforgiving unremitting Nazis have demonstrated once again that they're willing to flip-flop at the slightest sign that they may be able to land a mainstream celebrity recruit you mean when someone says you know I actually don't agree with the radical left on something they say great neither do we how would you like to have a conversation wow those less [ __ ] intolerant Nazis I can't believe they're willing to forgive and forget don't trade your authenticity for approval west tweeted last week to the tune of a hundred and seventy thousand retweets and three hundred forty-four thousand likes too late are you joking Molly Roberts in that very paragraph you point out that liberals are going to enforce ideological purity no matter who the offender is and when one of them steps out of line that says you know I'm actually not gonna trade what I authentically believe for your approval you suggest that the people who say good for you stand by your own beliefs instead of standing with the group think other people who are compromising their authenticity and oh [ __ ] it turns out that kangay West is watching Jordan Peterson's videos so can us tweet it out a video and in the video you can see this tab on his browser this tab happened to go to a Jordan Peterson video what was Jordan Peterson's reaction first comedians now rappers my plan for world domination is proceeding a pace and if you actually look at some of the things that can you West is tweeting outs they are incredibly lucid you don't have to agree with Trump but the mob can't make me not love him we are both dragon energy he is my brother I love everyone I don't agree with everything anyone does that's what makes us individuals and we have the right to independent thought I don't know about the dragon energy but the rest of its pretty damn good isn't it oh [ __ ] he has assigned Magga hats oh [ __ ] not only is he wearing it in public he's also tweeting up pictures of him with the okay sign which as we all know is a sign of white supremacy oh [ __ ] kanye west is wearing his signed Magga hat out in public oh [ __ ] kanye West is freestyling wearing his signed Magga hat I don't know anything about Kim kardashian-west which is apparently his wife but she seems to be being incredibly dutiful and supportive when she tweets out to the media trying to demonize my husband let me just say this your commentary on Kanye being erratic and his tweets being disturbing is actually scary so quick to label him as having mental health issues for just being himself when he's always been expressive is not fair I can't see any evidence of Kanye having mental health problems I can't see evidence of him thinking that maybe just maybe he doesn't have to be an ideological slave oh [ __ ] according to sources close to Kanye West he has had explosive fights with Kris Jenner and Kim Kardashian and they can't control him it looks like Kanye's gone completely rogue oh [ __ ] it looks like Kanye West has broken with his longtime manager Scooter Braun oh [ __ ] ken hey West drops a new Song yi versus the people a fierce debate with ti about pro-trump stance talk about doubling down oh [ __ ] Donald Trump is reportedly think about inviting Kanye West to the White House for dinner this comes hot on the heels of Kanye's tweet to say that Trump is his brother with Trump replying Thank You Kanye very cool unsurprisingly all of these events have enraged the left and so Stephen Colbert savages Kanye West Trump Twitter brofist I don't know if you've checked Twitter today The Late Show host told viewers Wednesday but right now my Twitter feed is just tweets from Donald Trump and Kanye West West tweeted my manga has signed followed by 30 fire emojis now that is fitting because that's how many times I would set that hat on fire and like any good plantation owner Stephen Colbert can't possibly have his Negroes having thoughts of their own and wandering off the plantation if one of them gets away with it the others might starts I think they can do it as well and then who's gonna pick that cotton a Stephen he deemed their Twitter exchange a total bro fest and advised viewers to look for their new album Yeezy and sleazy all that doesn't make you look weak as hell does it Stephen it doesn't make you look like you just lost Colbert concluded by congratulating Trump on securing the coveted Kanye West's endorsement you mean the one that you are currently fighting for and shaming him for not getting Trevor Noah was also confused by the social media sweet talk I don't care how long I wait that will never soak in he said I don't even know what happened here yo you know I do I know exactly what happened here it's the same damn thing that happens with every person who goes against the far-left narrative you guys are awful you're absolutely awful to that person and you don't let them have thoughts of their own and if they differentiate from anything that you think you publicly shame them in front of millions of people in order to bully them back onto the plantation in order to pick your [ __ ] talking points and reinforce the fact that black people must forever be the victims and this is why I know that this is exactly the case if you feel something don't let peer pressure manipulate you spot on Kanye and naturally black Twitter drags Kanye West to [ __ ] Ville for Trump maggle of ink rolling Yi caught a Wi-Fi connection in the sunken place and it all went bad that's right Kanye because if you're not like them there's something wrong with you and you're a traitor to the black race I don't know who SMI is but they say make Kayne black again because Kanye is being black wrong why aren't you singing the Negro songs can yeh you might be familiar with a music personality called John Legend who is apparently also a far-left progressive activist who dm's Kanye in order to try and persuade him to come back and carry on being whipped by massa hey it's JL I hope you'll reconsider aligning yourself with Trump you're way too powerful and influential to endorse who he is and what he stands for as you know what you say really means something to your fans they are loyal to you and respect your opinion so many people who love you feel so betrayed right now because they know the harm that Trump's policies cause especially to people of color don't let this be part of your legacy you're the greatest artist of our generation and Kanye [ __ ] destroys him I love you Jon and appreciate your thoughts you bring up my fans on my legacy is a tactic based on fear used to manipulate my free thought [ __ ] godom and so you know what it turns out that Bill Maher really was completely correct when he said here's the thing about Donald Trump he never apologizes he's never wrong matter what crazy thing he says he's totally that he's the white Kanye and I just want to say the Kanye West more power to you buddy you be the person you want to be and don't you let these bastards put you back in Chains and on that note another powerful important celebrity also left the plantation it literally this happened last week but the major blowback happened this week so I'm going to cover it now Natalie Portman pulls out of Israel award due to distressing recent events there Portland who was born in Jerusalem and holds dual Israeli and US citizenship was named in November as the recipient of the 2018 Genesis award a yearly prize for outstanding achievement by individuals who have attained excellence and international renown in their chosen professional fields who embody the character of the Jewish people however Portland informed the genesis price foundation she would not travel to Israel for the ceremony which has been canceled a representative of her said recent events in Israel have been extremely distressing to her as she does not feel comfortable participating in any events in Israel she cannot in good conscience move forward with the ceremony no specific events were mentioned but the recent military response to the Palestinian demonstrations on the Gaza Israel border has provoked worldwide condemnation I know this is a highly divisive issue so I just wanna make it clear I don't give a [ __ ] about Israel or Gaza I just don't care I'm personally interested in Natalie Portland's breaking away from a certain kind of groupthink in exactly the same Kanye West is doing naturally many Israelis were bristling at criticism from one of their own which honestly I think is the best place for criticism to come from so at this point more than 40 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the March of return protests Israel says that many of the dead and wounded have links to the military wing of Hamas the Islamist group that controls Gaza but Israelis are still trying to digest Porter's refusal to attend the ceremony to accept the prestigious Genesis prize sometimes referred to as the Jewish Nobel she posted a clarifying statement on Instagram saying that she did not want to appear to be endorsing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who is due to appear at the ceremony and in an apparent reference to the Palestinian deaths in Gaza she wrote the mistreatment of those suffering from today's atrocities is simply not in line with my Jewish values so not only did members of Israel's parliament demand that her citizenship be revoked for having this opinion one member speaking on television said that Portman who is Jewish herself of course was anti-semitic what Natalie Portman did she played as a tool for those who hate us more even those opposed to the government said that Portman has unintentionally played into the hands of the anti-israel activists including supporters of the boycott divestment and sanctions movement despite the fact that she herself has claimed that she does not support this movement she is just following her own conscience so naturally the Israeli government has denounced Natalie Portman how very dare you not want to come and do something that we have offered you because you disagree with our policy regarding Gaza naturally many people took to social media to criticize Portman for choosing not to travel to the country of her birth while others lamented the fact that her statement coincided with the tail end of Israel's seventieth Independence Day but this is probably the worklist take on this whole thing and that's the Portman's selectively anti-israel application of Jewish values given the atmosphere of totalitarian repression being generated by the left-wing socialist extremists on many university campuses these days I suppose that as an American Irish being charged on various counts of cultural appropriation for daring to write this article what this does is just good show that it's not just left wingers who do this is it in it I criticize the vocation of Jewish values by natalie portman a globally renowned entertainment icon who happens to be a Jewish citizen of Israel however I plead a mitigation of the charge that on accounts of an act of our Father God I am an adopted sibling of Jesus Christ a Jewish man from Nazareth I further play the I am by birth the citizen of the United States and therefore a citizen of that affer mentioned cultural icon and finally that I am by heritage of a black American whose variegated cultural DNA makes cultural appropriation the very definition of my way of being holy [ __ ] dude it's okay to criticize it's even okay to have really hot tastes like this with her dramatic gesture miss Portman makes herself part of a strategic campaign that aims at nothing less than the annihilation of the Jewish state that's right if Natalie Portman disagrees with Benjamin Netanyahu's policies she's tacitly in favor of the eradication of Israel Natalie Portman's dual American and Israel citizenship makes her a weapon of mass destruction in achieving the strategic objects of the moral and sentimental aspects of unarmed invasion strategy as it is being deployed against Israel you don't think that's slightly hysterical or anything do you and of course given her global notoriety in American citizenship her action also has strategic implications for the United States I think you're giving Natalie Portman more credit than she actually deserves but in Israel's case moral and sentimental inhibitions are likely to pose a more immediate existential threat to its survival somehow Natalie Portman is involved in an existential threat to Israel survival do you think that this might be a little bit hyperbolic Natalie Portman has in the past appeared to be a staunch supporter of Israel's existence she's diametrically opposed to it because she disagrees with Benjamin Netanyahu and doesn't really want to go and share a platform with him now she wants Israel wiped off the map if people like Natalie Portman are sincere in their dedication to peace why is it that they never press the case against intra Arab conflicts replete with ah city that are most responsible for the bubbling cauldron or incessant warfare well I'm gonna guest me is because they didn't offer her a prize I imagine that if she was being offered a platform with Isis or Assad she'd probably refused that too and of course Natalie Portman is wrong about Israel and here's why despite the fact she didn't make a statement about Israel this article is actually a thing of beauty because there is no argument made in it they go on and contextualize the situation and then end with this it's hard to imagine that a woman who once worked as Alan Dershowitz research assistant could get this so wrong Portman holds dual citizenship and she more than most Americans should understand that Israel's founding was the rebirth of a nation the creation of the modern State of Israel was not a result of spontaneous outpouring of sympathy from world powers aghast at what befell the Jews during World War two yeah that didn't take long did it but the product of many years of hard determined work Zionism as a political movement far predated the creation of the state and that movement came centuries after the Jews were exiled from their national homeland it's a shame that 70 years after Israel's creation the most basic facts of his existence are unclear even those who were born within hurts borders she clearly wants the abolition of Israel she just doesn't support what Israel is to him to the Palestinians she's not asking for the disestablishment of the bloody state naturally there has been a massive backlash to Natalie Portman with the most amusing one being a really sexist one from the zero a president Morten Klein president of the Zionist Organization of America apologized for a tweet in which he suggested that Natalie Portman's criticism of Israel gives credibility and legitimacy to the ludicrous false nonsensical belief the beautiful women are ants to brides why on earth is that the first thought that pops into your head Morton although not intended i now realize that my comment could be construed as offensive and i sincerely apologize for it I do not retract my criticism of miss Portland's decision not to go to Israel and accept the award I should have focused solely on her decision without any reference to gender or appearance watch back in line I do so love when people wander off the reservation of prescriptive identity politics and they're called ants on it they just double down and refuse to apologize [Music]

People disagree with each other. Its not a wrong think trial. Its fuckin HOW we discuss anything ever. I say something, you say something, if we disagree someone says the other person is wrong.

Jesus Christ this victimization has to stop.

[u/FrankyRizzle]

Honestly the worst thing about Sargon, even moreso than his shitty views on just about anything, is his complete inability to be concise...like at all.

The guys just loves to hear himself talk so much that he will find a hundred ways to say one fucking thing. He takes something that can be discussed in like 5 minutes and drag it to a full 40 minute video.

How does anyone not get exhausted by that?

[u/[deleted]]

Sargon is an asshole. Post his shit in The Donald where it belongs.

[u/mrsamsa]

I love how "the left" is simultaneously guilty of being an echo chamber that's unwilling to face criticism or hear opposing views, and also guilty of "eating their own" by criticising beliefs or behaviors that they find objectionable.

It's okay for people to get called out and criticised. It's not the end of the world. If people think Kanye is a moron for saying stupid shit then we need to call him out. This is especially true if the person saying stupid shit is on our side.

[u/RustyEuchre]

Sargon’s latest vid is a good

Let me stop you right there

[u/National_Marxist]

Fuck Sargon.

[u/Stratahoo]

Well, good for Natalie Portman, I guess.

That's the only positive thing in this dumpster fire of a video.

[u/[deleted]]

"wrong thinkers"? Since when did people like Kanye start thinking, he's a trump supporting celeb who cares.
