Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Delusion is a huge thing in many situations, where he likely feels justified when unmedicated.
And it can be moreso for wealthy people. It can be easy to fire people who say "maybe you should tone down the 'Hitler loving' stuff' and only keep yes men around who will tell you that you're doing great no matter what you do.
Obviously, the wealthy people who fall into this trap are still responsible for what they do. This isn't an excuse. However, it can help explain why some wealthy people say idiotic things that their staff should have stopped.
Which is part of the mental illness that he should be getting treated for, which he can do as a fully grown, hyper wealthy man.
Stop making excuses, or choosing to be a bad faith debater. Kanye is responsible for his reprehensible actions period.
Saying just because someone is rich they they are responsible for mental health conditions which control them to this extent is pretty gross.
Every person is responsible for themselves, despite their mental health conditions. It is unfortunate some people have additional struggles, but that doesn't absolve them the work of being decent. I literally suffer from the exact same kind of bipolar disorder as Kanye; my erratic behavior is never excused just because my brain is different, and I am still responsible for the consequences of all of my words and actions despite my additional struggle.
Stop making excuses for a shitty dude that doesn't need more apologists
I heard you the first time.
You don't have to announce it, you won't be missed with your shitty attitude and assuming I'm doing anything but discussing in good faith.
Delusion doesn't absolve you of responsibility. A person who is deluded isn't blameless, they're just guilty and deluded.
Medically that is not the case.
