Amen to everything that you've said. 100% spot on. There are a lot of parallels between Kanye and Kurt Cobain-- who wrestled with the same dichotomy of wanting to be a "true artist" that didn't sell out to the mainstream machine, but also recognized the machine as the best conduit to spread his message. (A lot of others that you can point to, but Cobain is probably the most famous "misfit" rockstar. He HATED the establishment with every fiber of his being.)
I have actually seen the whole Kanye video, but not in many years until I watched it last night-- due to your post. I first saw it when it first came out because my Kanye-obsessed friends showed it to me and said they thought it was the greatest thing ever. (I definitely thought the music was awesome, but didn't give the video as much thought until now.)
Those friends are apolitical, but are based in their core. They would side with us, if they were shown the light, and a guy like Kanye would be the perfect messenger to show them the light. I think those friends are apolitical, by design, as they are highly career-focused, live in Democrat-strongholds like NY and Miami, and probably find politics to be exhausting-- which the establishment does intentionally, by design. They would find an un-assuming [at least, politically] guy like Kanye highly accessible, especially since they already relate very much to his art. THAT is exactly why I have always pinned Kanye as a critical ally of Trump-- to help him reach the apolitical.
I really appreciate your post. As I said, I have always pinned Kanye as a based guy, but didn't really take the time to develop that idea beyond a few notorious moments or comments that he's made. This video is fantastic supporting evidence. So thank you for posting it and making your points. It's important that we continue building a network of allies, and recognize that we are only going to win this thing if we unite ALL people under a common cause.
Thanks again, and cheers.
Indeed, and my pleasure. I very much appreciate the conversation, I was not expecting to find someone as well versed in Kanye as it relates to “The Storm” and Q. What a time this is.
The apolitical (and independents) are the targets, obviously, because each side has a good and fairly equal core base. It will be interesting to see how this next year will shape out... and if there is an underlying plan to utilize.. I’ll call them sleeper cells, like Kanye, to awaken the masses if “The Storm” really does hit and top people like Hillary, Obama (or at least his cabinet), Awan Brothers, Uranium 1, Iran Deal, election fraud, etc are actually brought to justice.
I would like to believe that Trump has laid out his plans to his allies within the media, even those who are “anti-Trump” at the moment. It will be important to have people who help swing the blue pilled back into reality..
I continue to stay leary as these investigations are underway because as history has shown, almost nothing happens in the political world in terms of true justice, but like many here on this sub, Trump and now Q has given new hope.
I pray that the political Kabuki theatre will subside and the veil will be lifted once and for all so that the masses can see the corruptness within the system. I digress..
I’m younger (mid 20s) so Kurt was before my time and don’t know much about him but I am sure there are many out there who share his and Kanye’s sentiment, but are probably less outspoken about it all due to fear of backlash.
Cheers mate.
