Among the star-studded Super Bowl ads that viewers saw during Sunday’s game was an awkward 30-second spot, filmed vertically on an iPhone, in which the rapper Ye talks about his new teeth and instructs the audience to go to Yeezy.com.

As of the morning after the game, when they visited the site, shoppers could find exactly one item for sale: a white T-shirt emblazoned with a swastika.

    Come on, that’s fucking stupid. You think Nazis are born that way? Of course people become Nazis, and it’s happening more and more.

      Kanye West was in his 40s when Donda came out four years ago. Do you think he just started hating Jews and loving Hitler within that brief amount of time or do you think he’s been this way for a hell of a lot longer?

      Because maybe I didn’t put it as artfully as I should have, but that’s what I meant.

              Why do I need to come up with reasons why someone who says they love Hitler doesn’t actually love Hitler?

                You dont need to come up with anything. A thought can be unresolved in your head. Its usually the more accurate representation of reality. Accept the lack of information for his motivation to say ridiculous things.

                  Elon has never announced his motivation for giving a Nazi salute. Should I reserve my judgment there as well?

                    He didnt even admit he did. Are we taking people at their word or not?

                    Elon did a nazi salute. Do i think he embodies nazi ideals?

                    Hmm get ready: I dont know what Elon thinks.

                    Does that pain you?
