You know how little kids will find a thing that makes people laugh, so they repeat the thing over and over until people stop laughing? But instead of stopping the thing, the kid just gets louder and more dramatic every time in hopes they can get the reaction from the first time they did the thing?
Yeah, that’s basically what’s happening here.
You're right. But the sad thing is; it'll probably end up with him charting very high again eventually.
I'll admit, there was a huge stretch where he was the most entertaining person in the entire world. He's only ever delivered 2 good performances in his field of entertainment (that went to number 1 and 2 on the Australian charts) but the insane claims and actions were always a spectacle and any time a new album was coming out the batshit insanity was always ramped up. And you never knew what the next hilariously stupid thing he was going to say/do would be. For the past few years, it's all been this Nazi shit.
the last time his stupid statements made me absolutely piss myself was when he was saying we should have localised farms that don't use pesticides and big pharma could invest in them.
But since 2016 a lot of real people have been as fucking goofy as him, he has no other option than to start screaming louder.
How do you ramp up from holocaust denial on the crazy scale when people are sick of it?
