Hooray for an actually correct understanding of what Anti-Semitism is!

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 66 points 4 days ago

Good! Fuck that Nazi shithead

"Antisemitic song" is rather understating things...

[–] eureka@aussie.zone 30 points 4 days ago

On the other hand, I enjoy finally seeing a correct use of the word "antisemitic" by ABC News.

"i aint no anti-semite-semite"-

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 50 points 4 days ago

Excellent. He's a massive cunt.

[–] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 28 points 4 days ago

If only he could be denied entry back...

Get wrecked, dickhead

[–] j4k3@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Dude does anything for a spotlight so even this hitting news is a positive validating his relevancy

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I have never been a fan but I feel like it's a lot deeper than just craving attention. The dude has serious unchecked mental problems.

"Source": My best friend has bipolar and we lived together during many episodes - the similarity is uncanny, minus the bigoted stuff

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

He was diagnosed with bipolar but has recently said he was misdiagnosed and instead has been rediagnosed with autism.

A grain of salt, but there appears to be something under the salt nonetheless.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

He also said he doesn't believe the first diagnosis because the doctor is Jewish

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

this doesnt look like AUTISM which isnt one symptom or a group of other defecits, it sounds more like BPD with highs and lows, his highs being creative with music but his lows, depression his spiraling towards nazism.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

Whatever. Fuck him, good for Australia 🥂

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 3 days ago

shouldve taken his meds, which he now refuses to do.

[–] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

You mean yet another antisemitic stuff from this person...i lost count of the thigs he did so far.

Burke told the ABC's Afternoon Briefing that the musician, who goes by Ye, had a valid visa cancelled by officials in his department after releasing a song titled Heil Hitler.

Yeah...

[–] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Completely separate from the anti-Semitism, the song itself is pretty awful. How can someone with so many bangers fall so far.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

the song itself is pretty awful.
Par for the course
How can someone with so many bangers fall so far.
The mf has no fucking bangers if he was reduced to forcing games to play it in the background through non diagetic sound.

[–] DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not true, Kanye's back catalogue is amazing. Anything before Yeezus was gold. It's been hit and miss since then.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Get real, he has always sucked.

Edit: the point of sampling is to elevate and curate hidden gems. In power, he took the gold that is 21st century schizoid man and somehow turned it to scum.

[–] sqgl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

music in the background through non diagetic sound.

I had to look it up but it seems to me you are simply referring to background music.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

yeah, to differenciate it from being on the radio in the game, which is more usual for open world games.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

it's a common term in media analysis

[–] catrass@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago

Untreated mental illness

[–] eureka@aussie.zone 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Hey OP, I noticed at the bottom of the article it credits that it's a republishing of the original article by ABC. Always good to link upstream if you notice that happening, for example the upstream article might notice a mistake and correct it.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 6 points 3 days ago

Yeah I agree. Using the upstream source also helps keep the canonical URL so cross-posts and reposts can automatically be detected to show users where conversations about the topic may have already happened.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

If you call an album Ballocaust , you might need to expect a little controversy at least.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I never knew you can get denied entry for being a bigot.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Canadian here, since we have similar laws. You have to be a real extreme bigot to be banned entry on that alone. I mean you have to be the type of idiot who would publicly declare himself a Nazi and a racist, like in a song or something.

Americans are always uncomfortable with Canadian hate speech laws. But 99% of us don’t ever have to worry about them, because 99% of us aren’t running around calling ourselves nazis and asking for the extermination of an ethnic minority.

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 3 points 3 days ago

oh okay thank you, Good to know.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 3 days ago

also in a time like this where anyone can be called an anti-semite just for criticizing israel, western countries are actually touchy/. he might have better luck in a asian country.

[–] CoolThingAboutMe@aussie.zone 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Sweet. Hopefully this means we will deny Musk and Trump and all the rest of them too

Unfortunately, turning away Trump would have far greater diplomatic repercussions that I just don't see Albanese risking. Trump could pull America's embassy stuff, or enact further tariffs or sanctions. If Albanese wasn't ready to condemn (or at least not congratulate) the Iran strikes then he's not going to be ready to deny Trump entry while he's head of state.

Musk, on the other hand, well if we denied Kanye entry then we better fluffing deny him too. It's not like it wouldn't clearly be a well supported move considering we've had one of the greatest drops in Tesla sales YoY globally.
