  • be better all you want. but personally just fucking them up on sight would be ok with me.

    let other people be better, but the being better part is what allows these kinds of people to freely march in the first place.

    these people thrive on confrontation, and feel that confrontation will make others flock to their side. i think we should give them all the confrontation they want, basically at every opportunity. being better than them is good in the long run. being worse than them will get them off the streets.

    this is Nashville, we can do both.



  • that’s kind of the funny thing about this story. do you know how much of a colossal dickbag you gotta be for a company to say no to making a billion dollars? they will put up with so much shit for that kind of money. but West was a dickbag of such monumental proportions that the company is like, ‘nah, fuck it, it’s not worth it’, to a billion fucking dollars.

    on top of that we see later in the article

    Still, throughout all of this, the company’s C-suite consistently “sought not to rein him in but to appease him,” with an eye to their bottom line. After the slavery comment, for example, Kasper Rorsted, Adidas’ CEO at the time, brushed it off, saying “Kanye has helped us have a great comeback in the U.S.” He only doubled down months later, adding: “We’re not signing up to his statements; we’re signing up to what he brings to the brand and the products he’s bringing out.”

    and we learn once again, ironically, that appeasement doesn’t work.
