I wish he would be collectively ignored. He's not well, but he's also just got vile views that aren't worth sharing. (This isn't a critique of the person who posted this, by the way.)

Can we stop using the excuse he’s not well? I’ve got plenty of folks in my life with mental illness and they’re not like this
I’m genuinely not trying to argue. You can be both horribly bigoted and have mental illness. I myself have mental health issues (who doesn’t, really?) and indeed, I am also not spewing the toxic nonsense Kanye is. It hopefully goes without saying that pointing out his mental illness isn’t excusing the wildly inappropriate things he says and does.
I agree. The mental illness does not make him racist. The mental illness gives him no filter to hide the racism.
Of course, being super, super rich and thus barely facing any consequences does not help.
I mean, he isn’t well. It doesn’t excuse his actions, but it does explain them.
They're also not enormously wealthy new money, so they're going to have a different understanding of the system from someone who was enormously privileged, but still subject to some of the negative effects of capitalism.
To be clear, I am not defending that Nazi, I am just pointing out that peoples political ideology is largely determined by their relationship with the means of production.
Why are we giving platform to antisemites?
This motherfucker seriously needs his Nazi ass beat down. There needs to be a whole lot less tolerance for these fuckers.
His posts included dozens of comments about Jewish people and the Holocaust, including “I LOVE HITLER NOW WHAT B*****ES
I don't really follow Kanye West or celebrities in general, but my vague impression from past incidents that managed to reach my consciousness is that West will say and do pretty much anything that generates publicity for himself.
If adidas were an american company, yeezys would be back on the shelf right now.

Least antisemitic trump fanboy
Too bad he wasn't around during the 30s and 40s to trust in his friend Hitler. Hitler would have loved him, to death.
Why is anyone even listening to this bozo anymore? He is going to end up like that chapelle sketch. Black kkk member!
Chapelle himself isn't far from that character.
Who gives a fuck. Why is this in "news"?
Well TIL Kanye West is still alive. Does he still do music or whatever?
Yeah, he does. Last album sucked, next one is going to have AI stuff on it. Not sure, in what capacity, though, I just read the headline and rolled my eyes so hard, I turned blind for a bit.
Greeeeeat. An old man fiddling around with overrated technology; what could go wrong?
"news"
Says He Doesn't 'Trust' Jewish People
The feeling is mutual.
That said, I never created an abuse factory and called it a school and had parents pay me to send their kids there.
Who does Kanye West trust ?
Hitler and Diddy.
He's a fat crazy person and his music sucks, and always sucked.
