  The whole JP Morgan thing happened before all this, they dumped him back in September. A week or so before even that he was talking about dropping Chase on TV, he was upset at not getting face time with Jamie Dimon, and he'd been mad at them on social media before that. The recent statements about Jews and the "white lives matter" thing are both after that letter. That it was instead retaliation for "his beliefs" is a convenient inference his camp is happy for people to draw though.

  > - Kanye just had his bank account closed by JP Morgan (for what appears to be his beliefs) The article quotes Kanye on this one: > "I went to JP Morgan but of course they won't give me no deal flow cause Jin Ulrich is on the board of both adidas and JP Morgan." This sounds like an accusation of conflict of interest. How is this related to his beliefs?

  > - It's still unclear exactly why both occurred. Supposedly it's antisemitism, but he also just wore a "white lives matter" shirt Ye saying he's "going to go defcon 3 on the Jews" is absolutely antisemitic and absolutely why he got restricted on Twitter. [0] That's the tweet that was received moderation, and its subject matter is very clear. I don't see how one could be unclear of why that got removed or unclear that's it's antisemitic. Wearing a shirt doesn't magical erase one's behavior. "White lives matter," "All lives matter", it does not matter; what a shirt says won't make his antisemitic comments not antisemitic. Kinda like staring a sentence "I'm not a racist but..." doesn't make whatever racist comment that follows not racist. As an aside him wearing the shirt isn't in support of Jews or white lives, it's him being funny/ironic. Read your own source. When you have a "<minority> lives matter" it's about speaking up for an un/under-represented group. White lives matter is a joke, as they are the majority. To paraphrase your source, it's funny because it's a black man stating the obvious.

  He'll be in on the GloriFi grift real soon too I'm sure. Same bad actors involved.

    Is there a reason you call it a grift? Or "bad actors"?

      Candace Owens on the home page. If that's not enough to convince you, I know too well that I don't posses the skills to convince you otherwise.
      • citilife 4y ago
        I personally haven't seen an issue with Candace Owens based on what I've seen, do you have examples of a grift or something that can shed some light on this?

          You could start with rationalwiki if you want a rather biased and very critical take.

      The kvetching and projection intensifies when the enemy is over the target.
