        I don’t think being mentally ill makes Kanye antisemitic. Just makes it so he doesn’t hide it like others may do.

          People who are severely mentally ill are far more likely to form negative conspiracy theories that they would have never believed when medicated.

          I mean, do you think that all schizophrenics who think the government is tracking them through their teeth fillings actually belive that?

          If you’ve ever known someone with a severe mental disorder like bipolar or schizophrenia, then you’d know that they’re not themselves during an episode.

          Hell, even neuro-typical people experience this to a degree. Ever been at a railing with a huge drop and suddenly get an urge to step off? That’s called the Call of the Void, and it’s a pretty common phenomenon.

          The way a person acts during a mental health crisis is not indicative of the kind of person they actually are.
