Fresh off of multiple anti-Semitic rants, Trump cultist and mentally ill celebrity Kanye "Jackass" West is reported to be buying the far-right hate speech social platform "Parler." From the New York Times report:
"Kanye West has agreed in principle to buy Parler, the social media service that has attracted fans of former President Donald J. Trump, the service’s parent company, Parlement Technologies, said in a news release on Monday.
'In a world where conservative opinions are considered to be controversial we have to make sure we have the right to freely express ourselves,' the rapper and fashion designer, who now goes by Ye, said in the statement released by Parlement Technologies, which did not disclose the agreed-upon price.
The announcement came a little over a week after Twitter and Instagram restricted Ye’s accounts in response to antisemitic remarks that he posted.
From its start in 2018, Parler, which is based is Nashville, has railed against censorship and has presented itself as a 'free speech' social network, with less stringent content rules than sites such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Twitter. Last month, Parler, whose investors include the right-wing activist and heiress Rebekah Mercer, said it had raised $16 million, bringing its funding to $56 million. It is a competitor to Truth Social, which was founded by Mr. Trump." (our emphasis)
The "conservative opinions" that West says are merely "controversial" include threatening Jewish people with "death [sic] Con 3" attacks, spewing old anti-Semitic tropes about Jews controlling the media and financial markets, and more. Next, he'll be quoting from the Protocols of the Elders of Zion or a similar anti-Semitic tract (remember that his friend, the odious Candace Owens once gave Hitler a pass for wanting to make Germany "great").
It will be interesting to watch how West's friend the Malignant Loser responds to the competition with his failing site "Truth" Social. The Malignant Loser is doing his best to compete with West, posting an anti-Semitic post attacking American Jews for insufficient loyalty to Israel and to him, by extension (see, the Ugly, below).
