Are you reading Kanye's philosophy book on twitter?

Here's some excerpts:
>Some people have to work within the existing consciousness while some people can shift the consciousness
>everything you do in life stems from either fear or love.

hue, I couldn't help but think about History and Class Consciousness and how the People's Party should urge the proletariat to understand its real interest instead of succumbing to its immediate needs and the ideological lies of the bourgeoisie that reify and alienate them, thus perpetuating economic exploitation and neocolonialism.
Maybe he's a hidden cultural marxist hue except not obviously

You know why he chose Twitter instead of, say, Zuckerberg's secret service database? Because his thoughts cannot be taken at face value.
