Not taking your prescription drugs is a hell of a drug.
I'm bipolar and I'm fucking tired of hearing that excuse for him. Even if I'm off my meds I'm not a fucking Nazi
Not sure where I said or implied it was an excuse?
He's some kind of weird bigot for sure, but he's also got a history of these random unhinged outbursts from time to time that are clearly a result of something more acute/immediate than being a nazi.
Mental illness doesn't make you a Nazi. Saying Ye is acting like this because he's off his meds is saying that those with diagnosed with bipolar or narcissism are just one step away from being a bigot. That's not true and it only furthers the stigma of those with mental health issues.
Ye is the one choosing to be racist, that choice is on him alone.
Nah, it's just saying that a specific attention-seeking bigot with a personality disorder, which is marginally controlled with meds, is more likely to go on insane attention-seeking tears of bigotry when he goes off those meds.
Exactly. I have autism and an anxiety disorder, and I don't go around seig heiling and doing Nazi shit, and it isn't JUST because the Nazis would have me killed.
It's entirely possible that being off his meds is why he's acting like this...but it's not the reason he's a bigot, just a reason he isn't hiding it.
I think it's just as likely that he's being loud about it because bigotry is back in fashion, though.
Oh he's not taking any drugs except for nitrous
