financially unpersoning anyone capable of wrongthink might be a bit bad for national currencies, especially billionaires, and especially during a recession. before someone comes asking for sources (are we actually in a recession?) find a grocery receipt from a year ago, then go buy that shit today.

Push a billionaire with a lot of reach to cryptocurrency when there's a trade war and possibly a world war brewing, brilliant move!

this sort of pre-emptive PR crap by financial institutions and payment processors is going to backfire.

Kanye is having an episode, so it might not be this go around but this sort of thing is going to wind up getting regulated hard.

Kanye has made a lot of good points regarding BLM enriching its creators and ruining poor neighbourhoods (which is true despite it being considered ‘wrong think’ by some), but recently Kanye went on racist rants about Jews both on social media and in a Fox News interview which are less ‘wrongthink’ and just plain racist.

Since Jews can refer to people who's religion is Judaism, I'm not sure it is racist. He'd have to specifically target people based on origin to be racist.

[nailer]

Yes Jews (like Druze / Yazidi people) are an ethno-religious group - but do you think Kanye is targeting them based upon their religious beliefs, as if there’s some controversial aspect of Judaism that he doesn’t agree with? This seems far fetched.

[encryptluks2]

Likely the latter, being that there are many misunderstood components of the Torah and other teachings and no shortage of ultra-orthodox rabbis willing to say crazy things. Almost every popular Hollywood comedy also makes some Jewish reference and joke by a Jewish actor because it is known.

[nailer]

Kanye is complaining about being uncomfortable with music producers based upon their being Jewish and saying he’s ”death con 5 (sic) on Jews”.

Kanye’s not discussing ultra orthodox habits or genital mutilation or any other aspect of religion. From what we’ve seen, nobody was discussing religion, it’s just racism.

[encryptluks2]

The misconception about Jews controlling money has everything to do with the religious teachings, and nothing to do with their origin.

Is Kanye a billionaire? Well, I checked and his net worth is purportedly $2B USD.

Wtf.. wow. We're in the wrong business.
