As someone with bipolar disorder with manic episodes that involve delusions and hallucination: MEH, you just don't get it, but it's fine.
Some people really don't understand bipolar disorder. I don't really think someone who doesn't have this illness can really comprehend how it fucks with your sense of reality and how it can enhance some mild bigoted believes you hold or you hear form somewhere else into full blown nazi ravings.
It's very similar to schizophrenia in that regard. Ever met a schizophrenic person that without meds is just a raving lunatic that doesn't make any sense and repeat like a parrot some deeply wrong and insulting stuff they've heard somewhere else, but then when they are medicated they behave like ordinary people with absolutely no strange or irrational/bigoted beliefs? Because I have. Some cases of bipolar disorder are like that.
Manic episodes are fucking scary. You love yourself, your sense of identity, your own beliefs and you don't even get that it's happening. Sometimes you think you are god, sometimes you think that all people are against you and that the CIA or whatever is putting waves into your brain, sometimes you get influenced by some bullshit bigoted person just because you fancy them a bit and you begin to trust them as if they held all the truths in the universe.

SO yeah, I don't like Kanye West myself, but mentioning he has UNTREATED bipolar disorder is giving some context on why he did/said some stuff he did/said. When he did his "mask off" moment he was CLEARLY not well. Watch the interviews he did with... Lex Fridman, I believe? His speech is all confused and he really doesn't make any sense. That's untreated bipolar disorder for you.

This is a fucking terrifying illness, something that will possibly make me lose my mind or kill myself in the near or far future. I see in Kanye West what I could possibly become if I don't treat this illness seriously, don't check on myself and my symptoms and if I get too close too individuals that held beliefs I find abhorrent.

Kanye West is a cautionary tale. This is why we have to keep mentioning he has bipolar disorder, because some people really don't get what a mental illness like this can make you do and believe if left untreated. And he is a very privileged rich man who has plenty of access to medical care! Think of all the poor people who don't have that. Shit's fucked.
