“But I made a ton of memes using AI”
If they succeed the children will ask why people were objecting.
In that case though, the truth isn’t shameful
Bots in this thread trying to act like Americans aren’t fighting back. Ignore that shit
You ask what can we do??
We can make the greatest children’s book that ever there was.
I watched a documentary on Mussolini this week (“ordinary things” is an incredible YouTube channel) and it’s absolutely terrifying how much Trump has in common with the OG fascist.
Twice impeached and he was almost assassinated.
Also, multiple investigations and stuff into him. Corrupt Republicans have his back.
The investigations were politically motivated and actually helped him get elected.
If they were politically motivated Trump would be in jail. If anything the investigations were too careful, too scared of being perceived partial. It’s understandable being so high profile, but what an incredible blunder not putting the hammer down. Now we’ve the largest economy in the world run by actual fascists.
There’s no reasonable discussion to be had here.
Nope.
MAGAs are fully propagandized by this point. You can’t reason someone out of a position they didn’t reason themselves into.
1st part : No
2nd part : Maybe, but we should have finished the investigations, incarcerated him and made him ineligible for the presidency.
Being incarcerated doesn’t preclude someone from being president
It does if they are a traitor/leader of an insurrection.
Also, putting trump in jail would have limited the amount of lies he could spew during the campaign. His lawyers would have to relay his comments, and they have a duty to tell the truth, or be disbarred.
Colorado specifically tried
First part, that’s how a lot of the public saw it, regardless of whether or not it was true. Which is why the second part.
This looks AI generated.
W;45| Street? In the middle of a large pedestrian walkway?
It didn’t even need to be an image in the first place
Why all AI generated images suddenly have Mexico filter?
Gpt4-o has a style
Or they look like 70s or 80s movies of inner cities.
I like the second melting cab lol.
Been seeing lots of AI slop lately. What happen
Russia and China are stepping up their demoralization efforts.
After disrupting and perhaps permanently crippling the US by helping to get Trump elected, the next step is of course to now support the other side so we do the funny civil war happening. Especially China is very interested in this for obvious reasons. Social media is getting swamped again with AI slop and bots en masse if the recent Lemmy posts are any indicator. Throw away your mobile phone. Barring that, delete all social media you participate in for more than 10 minutes a day. It does not “connect” you with anyone, it destroys you!
Yeah, but then there was a post with the por que no los dos girl, and it made her older, with three rows of braces wrapped teeth.
And I can’t exactly throw away my phone because of work. But at least AI slop is easy as shit to see
And I can’t exactly throw away my phone because of work.
I hear that all the time. Does your work DEMAND of you to doom scroll TikTok while on the shitter? Or just that you are reachable via phone and/or text? If it’s the latter a Nokia phone does the job and does it better too.
But at least AI slop is easy as shit to see
For you, and for now.
Dude this is lemmy,
Like no one here ticktocks lol.
Fuck, i don’t even have Snapchat or Facebook or Instagram or X, or Blue sky or Mastodon.
I got plenty of other shit I need for work that a good ol fashion nokia can’t do.
Sorry, like always, when I write “you” I mean the ethereal concept of a human reader, not you personally. Pretty sure many here use tiktok though, made a comment about it the other day how adults dancing for kids on there a creepy, and if the downdoot R*ddit system here is any indicator, people did NOT like that one bit lmao.
All hail gatekeepers of meme communities!!
Get real, AI slop is part of the problem.
By “gatekeeper”, do you mean someone requesting for 2 minutes of effort to be put in?
Do you also wash dishes by hand so that you can enjoy effort being put into something?
Of all arguments against AI: that’s probably the worst I’ve seen yet
That was an argument against using the word gatekeeper
If it’s AI, the post is quite ironic because AI is another part of our downfall
If it’s AI
Look man, I haven’t seen a melting yellow cab IRL ever
Id like to hear your reasoning. Many people i know love AI and can’t wait for it to be in everything. I abhor it, but it is here to stay and it will only get worse. “But people said the same of the horse and buggy, the record player, the synthesizer, AI is just another advancement that will improve everything”! /s.
Reliance on AI obliterates your ability to solve problems. We have an extreme competency crisis right now mostly because especially young people find themselves utterly helpless without their pocket rectangle and easily overwhelmed. It also convinces you algorithmic search results and AI responses curated by companies are “reality”. Turning people trusting these technologies into sedated and borderline mindless consumer cattle.
Great video on the topic by technology connections: https://youtu.be/QEJpZjg8GuA
It’s going to make it a lot harder to tell truth from fiction
Maybe the gatekeepers are also AI generated. 🤔
People who play by the rules will always be taken advantage of by the people who refuse to play by the rules.
Left to my own devices? Following January 6th? I’d have used the RICO laws to arrest everyone from the asshat hitting cops with a fire extinguisher right on up to and including Trump, plus all the Congress Critters and Senators who tried to deny the election.
Indict ALL their dumb asses starting 1/7. Don’t wait 4 years. Run the RICO act.
“Oh, but that’s just not done. Tut tut.”
… hey are the .world mods still banning people for celebrating the death of the United Healthcare CEO?
Last time I posted a picture of the Bear Jew (from Inglorious Basterds) and said a Louisville Slugger would make Marjorie Taylor Green finally see those Jewish Space Lasers in her eyes, along with a bunch of other people posting guillotine sharpening advice, that whole comment section got nuked… that was maybe a week or two ago.
Yes, you can invent an alternate reality where the largely corporate controlled and decorum and norms obsessed Democratic party actually prosecuted everyone up to and including Trump…
… and also pretend that entire process would not be capable of being derailed by a few very Trump friendly judges… and a heavily conservative Supreme Court… that did not (in your alternate timeline) invent an insane loophole interpretation of Presidential Immunity that effectively makes it legal for them to commit any crime while in office…
Or you could accept the reality that none of that worked, the MAGAs outplayed and thus subverted the entire legal system, is now openly defying the Supreme Court irt illegally renditioning legal immigrants to an overseas concentration/death camp, that ‘the law’ (as in armed agents of the state) are now totally lawless and not even trying to follow due process or habeas corpus…
… and that this new reality doesn’t play by the now broken rules that you seem to think will save us, and that … ironically, more traditional means of dealing with an oppressive violent fascist junta should… maybe at least be able to be discussed in an indirect, non specific manner.
Not banning people that I’m aware of, definitely removing content advocating murder, that happens daily, if not hourly.
“Why, that would just make it look political”
Which is funny as Jan 6 was political. If not for politics those people would not have been there.
Luckily, this time there are judges, lawyers and civil rights activists as well as the millions of people showing up for protests.
all of them are doing what they can to hinder the embarrassing horrors of the rump administration.
assministration*
thank you, this is a very good point and I’m going to remember it.
Based on how things are going, those judges might as well be bunnies with how they’re being ignored and nothing happens.
“how they’re being ignored and nothing happens.”
this is flatly incorrect, although it is what rump wants you to believe.
he’s signing a lot of executive orders, asking his cronies to find loopholes to attack vulnerable groups, but lawyers and judges are managing to stop a lot of those orders and unconstitutional actions.
there’s no use rolling over while the fight has just begun.
a lot is legally happening and things would be a lot worse if we didn’t have a lot of brave lawyers and judges on the side of the sane.
Even if legal and judicial activism isn’t as exciting or getting as much attention as the 5 million strong protests, those legal consequences and judicial developments are saving people’s lives and should be respected.
You think that wasn’t the case in Germany too? 50501 and crew are baby stuff compared to the shit 1930s Germans were doing, and they failed anyway. A bunch of one-day parades on weekends just aren’t gonna cut it.
“You think that wasn’t the case in Germany too?”
I see you don’t know what you’re talking about.
"50501 and crew are baby stuff "
nice try, Nazi lover.
but hundreds of legal movements actually stopping the administration and millions of people protesting is not baby stuff, even though it scares you.
“and they failed anyway”
roll over and give up like you want to. the heroes will fight while you hide under your bed.
the protesters, the lawyers and judges and politicians fighting against all of this stuff you’re willing to hide your eyes from are the heroes.
that’s why my comment was about them and not about cowards.
Okay have a friendly middle finger from me, because what the fuck dude? I’m quite obviously saying you need to up the ante yesterday if you don’t want portraits of great leader Trump to be hung in every government building. If you think you’re stopping the administration with your legal actions and parades then you’re fucking delusional. Americans, don’t be like this guy.
Where are you getting “roll over and give up” from?
They said its not going to cut it, which is true, they said its baby stuff, which is true. Do you not understand the severity of what is happening?
You’re talking about hero’s fighting but you’re describing judges and lawyers, who have publicly been ignored, and occasional protests. 2 protests in february, 1 in march. The people involved are carrying it out Because they don’t think there’ll be consequences. So far there hasnt been.
What’s the maximum penalty in Texas and California where the planes took off? Every administration member, every ICE member, are they going to just get away with it while people say “well actually, that’s illegal 😏”? Do people just go to work and hope things will work themselves out?
“Where are you getting “roll over and give up” from?”
from the cowardly statement about how nobody should fight back because there’s nothing to be done.
that’s simply not true.
dozens of executive orders have been halted by lawyers, judges and civil rights activists.
all of your anxieties you are pretending are real are false echoes of the other person who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
you being afraid of fighting back and recommending giving up doesn’t make you brave, it’s pathetic.
it’s even worse when you attack the people that are fighting for your civil rights every day, despite your selfishness and cowardly propaganda.
They didn’t say that though and now you seem to think I did. Which is bizarre. The point is that a couple of protests a month isn’t enough given the severity of the situation and that while blocking a couple of executive orders is better than nothing it’s not sufficient.
They’re abducting people and sending them to labour camps, openly ignoring people’s rights and judges orders.
Pointing that out isn’t cowardice, ignoring it is complacency. Showing up a couple of times a month and pretending the rest will be sorted out by someone else is what you’d do if you were trying to trick people into inaction
I read the comment above as, “Our Nazis are baby stuff compared to Hitler shit. They legally organized in Germany and still failed. One day a week protests aren’t going to cut it. We need to shut down cities all week, all month, all year until the Nazis in our government are removed.”
But hey perspectives I guess.
Our Nazis are baby stuff compared to Hitler shit. They legally organized in Germany and still failed.
Not Nazis, *anti-*Nazis. The anti-Nazi movement in Germany before 1933 was a lot more intense than anything Americans are currently doing, and yet this person is patting themself on the back because “Luckily, this time there are judges, lawyers and civil rights activists as well as the millions of people showing up for protests”. Like what the hell do they think the Germans were doing? Sit down twiddling their thumbs?
Definitely correct. My brain does not want to interpret 50501 as making anything being maybe a zip code. That’s my bad.
It seems your first “Nazis” should be “anti-Nazis”.
you missed or ignored the explicit subjects and objects of their sentence, then.
“50501 and crew are baby stuff”
it’s not perspective.
Thank goodness it’s only Saturdays and they give loads of notice.
US media isn’t exactly giving them a lot of attention. Maybe coz they aren’t breaking and burning and looting and wiping their poo everywhere. If Bernie has an “accident” and AOC and Booker are deported for being brown, that’ll be the end of those protests.
World media isn’t giving them attention either. The world seems to have the same opinion as many of us do. You got yourself here you dumb shits. Now get yourself out before we are forced to by heir druphkin and his slack jawed money men.
School kids? I’m a grown European and wondering where the uprising is. Will the judges finally arrest them for not following court orders? If they don’t that surely has to be it? IF THEY DON’T LISTEN TO THE LAW, THAT HAS TO BE THE LINE, RIGHT?
Unlike historical documentaries, you can’t just binge watch it all in one night, getting the hindsight edited down version.
They’ve been breaking the law and ignoring court orders for more than two months now.
They’re busy watching the new season of oligarchs housewives.
Nice!
