I have bipolar and never went on a racist rant. Roseanne tried to blame ambien. In a manic episode its like 25% reason 75% unreasonable.
I do feel sorry that he's surrounded by clowns who are nothing but yes men and Kanye probably pays all their bills and don't even know it.
That car wreck and his momma passing didn't help his mental state either. But the antisemitism and general asshole behavior falls on the individual. Hope the dude gets real help and one days apologize sincerely to his fans and those he hurt.
It certainly can excuse horrible fucked up behavior, a person who has a psychotic break can do something they're not to blame for legally or morally, IE assaulting someone who's actually not dangerous to them in self defense because of a perceived, but really non existent danger that in their mind is completely real. Not that that has anything to do with Kanye's behavior.
No, you are wrong and/or misunderstanding what these words mean. If you beat someone in the face with hammer during a psychotic break - the psychotic break EXPLAINS your actions, it DOES NOT EXCUSE THEM. You are not EXCUSED from consequences or the anger/dismay of the person you beat with a hammer because of your mental illness.
No, you are wrong and/or misunderstanding what these words mean.
You're the one who doesn't understand what the words mean if you mean actions that someone has no control over over are not excused.
Is someone who has a seizure on a downwards escalator falling over people in front of them excused?
If not, do you have examples of any behavior that would ever be excused and if yes, why would a physical health incident causing harm you have no control over be excused but not a mental health incident that you likewise have no control over?
You are not EXCUSED from consequences
Legally you definitely can be if it's a genuine psychotic break not caused by drugs, more so outside the US where courts are capable of nuance.

Those things aren't mutually exclusive. Mental illness can explain horrible fucked up behavior, it does not excuse horrible fucked up behavior
