Every time I have to tiptoe around words like ‘communist’ or ‘socialist’, even ‘leftist’ scares people. So I just use the ‘hey, maybe we all deserve healthcare?’ card and watch them nod like it’s a brand-new idea

right. I mean classic fascist move: steal socialist populism, pretend to care about the people’s struggles, channel their anger against the system, while the left is too busy fighting itself to respond. and you’re right, most of them are already there

Authoritarianism is when China is spying on its folks, censoring the internet, persecuting dissidents, and letting billionaires control the country. Good thing that could never happen in the land of the free (except for the NSA, social media bans, Assange rotting in prison, and Elon running policy)

yes, they’ll scream about ‘propaganda’ in every other context, but the moment someone questions why they think socialism = starvation, suddenly the CIA’s red-baiting playbook is gospel

“Laughing at people who treat Al art as in any way legitimate works.
Talking about Al's environmental impact or its implications for the workforce will not work - they like that, it makes them feel dangerous.”

It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

if you want something similar to a style commision an artist, pay for it. If you can’t afford it, save up. If you can’t save up just DON’T DO IT.
