If we can get rid of MS and keep PS as a community project, that’d be nice.

I hate what you imagine America to be…

but this has always been the real America all along

because it is trying to murder the America that I love.

this is the delusion, that America never existed outside of slick marketing

being proud of global empire is not exactly peaceful intent, but I guess you don’t really care

I love America.
I can vote
It’s not over until we stop fighting.
defeatist attitude

If you love America, and you think voting will be able to “fix” it, you have always already been defeated. That’s what we are trying to tell you. Your idealism of “America” is not real. And you being proud of that ideal in spite of all the very real death, exploitation, destruction in service of capitalism that “America” exists to maintain is you defeating yourself publicly.

Just imagine a “good patriotic” song that you enjoy then, doesn’t change anything else though.

I’m imagining “God Bless the U.S.A.” playing over a supercut of foreign and domestic state violence over the last 50 years, while you stand saluting the flag waving over millions of corpses.

Got a text from someone that has been interacting with some folks from Taiwan on an international trip. This was how they described the situation.

They are in their 60’s and grew up in Taiwan and own an apartment in Taipei, returning often, both speak Mandarin. They said the Taiwanese do NOT fear China, that is the opinion of the US government.

“copy image” uses less than 0.01% of the resources used when generating an AI image

The “stealing art” thing is more about AI providing no way to trace back to the original works that were used to train it. It is completely opaque. With art that is copied for a meme, that is not really the case as it is not obfuscated in the same way. Often the art is easily recognized or can be located via a reverse image search.

AI as a tool can be useful, but so far most iterations are entirely in service to capitalist speculation. Burning through resources to generate aesthetic goo to hype up speculation deserves all the scorn that can be heaped upon it.

“The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it.”

Not Daddy!?!?

Any info on the Xi photo? Because it is amazing.

This would be like a photo of Netanyahu sitting down to a meal with Gazans if you actually believe all the ‘China is doing a genocide’ propaganda.

cultural Marxism, antifa, communist dictator, wokeism

capital is very inventive when it needs scapegoats

The zionist approved version of the post
