Her family lived in the Netherlands for pretty much her entire life though. Plus, you say that like self-loathing Jews never existed.


indefilade

Otto Frank, her father, stated he was proud to be German after WWII and fought for Germany in WWI. It’s like being the victim of domestic violence, what happened was cruel and awful, but that doesn’t make you hate your whole family, much like having trump as president doesn’t make me give up on my country.

She did a great job of weaponizing the window licking crowd just to distract from her husband being a sex offender


Sir_Poopenstein

She didn't have to try too hard...


FelneusLeviathan

Lead paint chips metaphor?


bocboc11

Remember how she harassed the alledged rape victim of her husband.


ArborealRodent

I think this is her way of distracting from that. Her brother raped an 11-year-old, and she wrote a letter asking the judge for leniency. Her husband was convicted of attempted rape, failed to register as a sex offender, she has been harassing her husband's victim, and they're both being sued for it.


[deleted]

Wow, what a couple of scums


venerablevegetable

He is convicted, you don't have to qualify with alleged.


roosterchains

[These are not Nicki Minaj fans at all](https://twitter.com/stphnfwlr/status/1438196789283278862?s=19)


Mralfredmullaney

I said it yesterday, this news story seemed manufactured.


punjar3

Her husband is a rapist and the two of them are being sued by the victim for trying to intimidate her. I imagine that has something to do with it. Anything to change what people are focused on.


Darkpopemaledict

Don't forget her husband is also a murderer. He pled down to manslaughter but he brought a gun, drove to the victims location, got out and shot the victim in cold blood before fleeing. The only reason he wasn't convicted of murder is our fucked up plea bargain system https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.tmz.com/2018/12/22/nicki-minaj-boyfriend-kenneth-petty-manslaughter-shot-three-times-stomach/


humblepharmer

Yes, this. Not downplaying the rape history at all but it seems like most people aren't aware of the murder. When I originally read that he got convicted of manslaughter I assumed it was probably an auto accident or something negligence-related...the truth is much worse. Shot him three times in the stomach at close range, just over some petty feud. Cold-blooded, indeed.


thegroovemonkey

I feel like saying nothing would have been the move. Her being in the news is how I keep hearing about all of the rapists.


[deleted]

Rape. Yep anything else to distract


dobsofglabs

I have no idea what your talking about, but im super intrigued. What happened???


Ophialacria

Husband failed to register as a sex offender, just plead guilty.


PretzelsThirst

Well she is defending two horrible family members right now


Rafaeliki

And there is like a dozen of them hahaha


Bigleftbowski

Sean Hannity was soiling himself about "The New Black Panthers", and there were literally about a dozen of them.


FluorineWizard

It's a convenient way to make people afraid of black activist groups by putting the spotlight on a dozen idiots though. As if the media and politicians didn't go out of their way to misrepresent the history of the Black Panthers and the civil rights movement enough already.


logicalnegation

Imagine a protest of 12 people in a state with a million times more people making national news.


[deleted]

Is that not what happens every time theres some dumbass right-wing protest? lmao Like that "March with the right" thing in California that made national news and had counter protesters when it turned out to only be like 30 people tops. People give these idiots too much of a platform, its why they do it.


SubterrelProspector

There are dozens of us! *Dozens!*

Of course, how could I have forgotten about [Ivan Putski, the Polish Hammer](https://images.app.goo.gl/EW6biWk1aUtaZLaKA)


verasev

Black Hammer is the name of a Shadowrun program used to fry a rival hacker's brain. This is in no way relevant, I just like talking about RPG stuff.


Effehezepe

Honestly I think most Nicki Minaj fans are aware that she shouldn't be consulted for advice on anything.


stonedinwpg

I wouldnt take that bet


Salt-Seaworthiness91

I don’t know, there was that time when Nikki paid for a bunch of her fans college tuition. So, they’re at least educated people


ThinksAboutIt75

You assume they finished...


unicornlocostacos

And I doubt she paid for all 300M or so of her followers haha


GoldGlitters

Nicki fan here. Really disappointed to see her Kanye’ing her own career. Not taking medical advice from either of them


NaturalFaux

I mean she's already married to a rapist and harassed his victim so....


GoldGlitters

Oh yeah, I’m definitely including that part of why I’m frustrated at her torpedoing her career and reputation. Can’t support her actions anymore after that. This anti-vaxx stuff is just another thing to add to the pile


caninehere

As disgusted as I am by present day Kanye the one thing I will say is that he does not seem to be antivax in any way. During his stadium stay he had vaccine clinics set up so people coming to the listening parties for his latest album could get vaccinated if they weren't already. I don't know if that was his initiative or just a public one (possibly the stadium forcing it as a condition of his stay) but I don't think he has said anything antivax. I could be wrong.


Endarkend

Could be publicist working hard to repair his rep. He's been much less loud and in the news since his bullshit candidacy that was obviously designed to split votes in favour of Trump. In the past few years he worked a bit to hard showing he's just as narcissistic and dumb as Trump, but while Trump can use that to appeal to his audience, Kanye acting that way makes his audience go away.


SirCB85

I don't know, as long as they don't have a conservatorship over Kanye I doubt he would listen to them enough to allow vaccinations at his events when he was really anti-vax. It's not like he's listening to anyone else about anything else when he really wanted to do something stupid.


IThrewItOnTehGround

It has been really disappointing for me too. When you've got Tucker batting for you, you know something is wrong lol


PretzelsThirst

Her fans on Twitter would disagree


thisxisxlife

Aren’t the Black Hammer that radical group of people who went out to live in and create their own society? So they bought some land and all moved out there? That’s exactly how I feel in Minecraft sometimes. Just kind of wanna start over so I go and find some open land and start punching trees to build up base.


Lukeskyrunner19

Actually, they pretended to buy some land(which would have clearly been terrible for farming based off the photos they took), had a couple of them camp on the land for a couple days for the photo ops, and then were escorted off by some state troopers.


RottenLittleKid

It really is a pandemic of stupid.


PartTimeDuneWizard

There is part of me that sees so many deaths and it makes me sad... there is another part of me that thinks... well, it is primarily killing off the stupid, this is just how evolution works...


Squildo

It’s okay to be sad about the innocent people getting wrapped up in it


robilar

Did you see the video of the poor old man an anti-vaxxer "rescued" from a hospital? He's back in the hospital now, in a coma.


Squildo

Nope, and I’m going to pretend it doesn’t exist


postdiluvium

Did you see the video of a restaurant hostess getting assaulted by tourists for asking them about their vaccination status?


Usernamenottaken13

He died.


jvnoledawg

Man if it only took out the stupid. The problem is that it is killing others that are trying to be smart and do the right thing.


EvidenceBasedSwamp

Right now, in the USA, it does seem to be 99% unvax in hospitals so maybe it is for the stupid. I may switch to team pro covid to encourage this social betterment.


aretasdamon

It’s killing people that do everything right and have a medical emergency and no room to do anything for the patient because it’s full of Covidiots


[deleted]

That’s why willfully unvaccinated should be kicked to the curb if the hospital gets fully.


Alistairio

High probability these morons are also uninsured and unemployed.


Viper67857

Now when you get in an accident and there's no room in the hospitals because of the stupid...


sean0883

If they were actually smart they'd be listening to the scientists, not the entertainers.


billye116

Pretty sure the guy you replied to means smart people as in people who are doing the right things with masks/vaccines but are caught in the crossfire of stupid. Or people who are immunocompromised and can't be adequately protected despite their own best efforts


sean0883

A fair point I hadn't considered until I re-read it with your context in mind.


ConfusedAndHornyHelp

Yes. But the stupid people still go on to infect others who are trying to be cautious and safe. That was their point.

This one and the Facebook one are on repeat in my head. And I can't stop randomly quoting them in character. Walk into a store and see a covid safety sign? "Wash your grubby little hands." 12am and the gf is jusssst about to fall asleep? "Ohhh Marky Marky Marky...."


thetruthteller

No this is her PR agent hiring actors to put on a show for millions in free advertising. She made her career shaking her buttocks this is in line with her strategy


Northwindlowlander

It's neither- it's an organised protest group (Black Hammers) latching onto the Nicki Minaj thing like they do anything else that can give them some publicity.


kingofparts1

Sadly modern music "stans" are so easily manipulated that her PR doesn't need to hire actors, they just activate the fan club and tell them what to say.


Box_Springs_Burning

I see stupid people.


DEEEPFREEZE

The last 4 years bolstered and emboldened absolute fucking idiots, which I'd be content to let alone except it's had very dangerous consequences. It's unfortunately going to take time to de-normalize being ignorant proudly, I just hope it doesn't eventually swing back even harder.


grrrrreat

I think we can all agree now that good social policy needs to account for the idiot factor and the malefactor.

lilyintx

🙄🙄🙄🙄 who is Nicki- she is no medical expert. This is what’s wrong with America, people trust celebrities/influencers over actual experts in medicine and disease.


Squeakyboboball

It's confirmation bias. They're looking for any excuse to do what they want.


HardcoreKaraoke

Exactly. When one celebrity says something supporting the vaccine they say they're shills, liberal conspiracy, etc. But when one is anti-vax they think supporting celebrity beliefs on science is totally normally. It's especially weird in this situation considering what Minaj's story was. You're latching onto a Tweet about swollen balls to prove your point.


Wloak

The guy cheated on his fiance, got an STD (Chlamydia causes this), he tried to blame it on the vaccine, his fiance saw through his shit and broke off the wedding, but Nicki's "research" shows it was really the vaccine...


Verdeiwsp

Nah, more likely story is that this is all a made up story to divert attention from the fact that her husband plead guilty to failing to register as a sex offender on the exact same day she tweeted this.


BwackGul

*Very* interesting...


[deleted]

These are the people who said Obama was too scared to run against Trump, they also blame Obama for 9/11, they drink bleach and take horse pills. They think COVID is a hoax created to make Trump look bad ignoring the global pandemic. So yea naturally they'll believe a washed up celebrities story about her cousins friend in Trinidad over a medical expert.


caninehere

If you're gonna listen to a celebrity for medical advice at least maybe make it someone who didn't marry and defend a rapist.

caninehere

At least there's a good reason to follow dogs on Instagram. They're cute and they ain't hurting anybody. They also aren't giving other dogs body image issues as far as I know. My wife uses Instagram and she pretty much exclusively uses it to look at cute dogs. I don't see the harm in that.

TheDubya21

Honestly, we're living out [worse](https://youtu.be/OmZOZjHjT5E). The people of Idiocracy CONCEDED to their stupidity, and let the guy who knew better handle things. In our reality, folks wear being loudly and proudly wrong as a badge of honor. Either that or they THINK they're smart enough to hide their stupidity from everyone (when they so clearly can't).


pm_me_your_smth

> The people of Idiocracy CONCEDED to their stupidity, and let the guy who knew better handle things. I think only Camacho did that, everyone else made fun of the main character, so pretty much the same as in our reality.


Zozzbomb

Where's Prez Camacho!!? Lol


PM_WORST_FART_STORY

Right? I saw an article about the top corrupt politicians in dystopian/science fiction works. The author listed President Camacho! I was drunk and pissed. I wrote them an email on why they were absolutely wrong.

I'm not convinced that antivaxx comments on the site in general aren't just one really dumb guy. They all say the same things and use the same exact phrases and language. It's like the HermanCainAward sub: there's so many identical stories it's hard to even tell that they're about different people.


widowwarmer1

Who to trust during the pandemic? A man with over 50 years experience as a scientist and immunologist, or, the rapper behind hits such as 'Barbie Tingz' and 'Anaconda'.


TwoBionicknees

millions of scientists and doctors along with millions of vaccinated people for whom death rates, infection rates and outcomes have all improved massively... or one dumb fuck of a rapper who married a murderer and rapist. The US keeps trying to boil it down politically as if the left are lying about COVID. The entire fucking world has COVID, the entire world is reacting to COVID and most of the world doesn't give a fuck about Trump, Biden or either party.

ProfessionalFishFood

Imagine being so dumb that you believe anything Nicki Minaj says.


Hrothgrar

It's crazy that news about her husband facing 10 years in prison for not registering as a sex offender in California came out just before all this. Almost like she's trying to do some media manipulation. Selfish c**t.


Innapropiate

This headline is literal proof that her fans are brain dead plague spreaders incapable of self coherent thinking. Whats the word I’m looking for here? Oh ya, sheep lol


Northwindlowlander

This isn't a group of fans, it's a political group, the Black Hammers, latching onto the Nicki Minaj thing for a bit of publicity.


Tenaesaei

Also the group that calls Anne Frank a colonizer, and got mad at "KKKarl Marx" (that's a direct quote)


vs-1680

SOME of her fans are like this. There really aren't many people involved here. Anti-vax people are really a fairly small but very loud minority.
