    ICE Fishing

    Jump

  • I'm fully aware this will come with downvotes, and that it really needs saying: Regardless of how you feel about police, they're the only element of your society that can actually meaningfully help the populace defend itself from ICE right now. You WANT them feeling your pain too because if ICE had to fight the cops they would crumple immediately. It's a lot harder to convince red state ideologues and armchair pundits that attacking police is justifiable and that the police are antifa (which hopefully they and everyone are, because the opposite of antifa is PRO-FASCIST).

    tl;dr - This lazy inaccurate kind of humor isn't helping you.

  • It's like a sick joke, but it's very real, and it's both a travesty and a tragedy. It's only starting to come out publicly just how much of this pro-genocide persuasion campaign is manufactured with bot farms and paid influencers, and it can't happen fast enough. Gotta stay strong, and stay aware, friend!

  • If using AI generated art is theft, then why are we okay with memes using random people's digital art and photos with zero attribution?

    Jump

  • "Not trying to defend AI art" The fuck you're not. Just be honest about it.

    My actual answer to this wall of strawmen and thready arguments is that LLMs and generative AI were trained on incomprehensibly large pools of human produced content, much of which is copyrighted, without paying anything for it; Conversely, when people make memes they are manually altering or adding to the original content and it's an exception when there's misappropriation becasue it's socially enforced. AI simply merges data, there is nothing new conceptually or materially being added, just recombination. I'm not saying all memes are good, and I'm also not saying meme people who make that their life aren't assholes sometimes either.

    All of this exercise you've taken upon yourself is a poorly executed attempt to distract from the scale of theft AI NEEDS in order to exist, and that's something Sam Altman, Zuckerberg, and other industry heads have openly acknowledged. If not for copyright violations it simply could not be feasible as a product, and even when there are instances of people stealing memes without attribution, that's not the standard or a necessity for the practice. This is on top of the other peripheral issues like IMMENSE resource consumption, and destruction of human livelihoods. Even if we grant your false equivalencies with single user offenses regarding meme theft, and I personally do not, these things are not comparable, and the later certainly doesn't justify or excuse the former.

  • This fucking headline man, could you possibly try harder to make Israel the victim here? Let's not suggest they've driven people away with their actions in any way...

  • Stephen Miller rages about ‘fascist’ label despite regularly using the term himself

    Jump

  • He's squealing because he knows it fits, and a hit dog will holler. If he were truly dedicated to the ideology and not just a fucking larper, he would openly admit he is, and I'm sure he's eagerly awaiting the day that they have enough power over information and population suppression that would enable him to safely do so. True ideologues say it whether it's safe to or not. Miller is a weasely, dickless WWII re-enacter at heart, and a sadistic sociopath who just wants people to suffer as he perceives himself as having done.

  • This is the real shock, I was certain Schumer would find SOME way to snatch defeat out of thin air JUST to fuck Americans a little bit further.

  • U.S. government shuts down as Trump and Congress fail to reach a funding deal

    Jump

  • The Republicans never had any intention of negotiating a goddamn thing. Following their chosen leader's mentality 'negotiation' is a bad faith process where you intimidate or coerce your opponent into concessions until they have nothing to offer and no power to leverage, at which point you absorb or destroy them. All of their actions and rhetoric reinforce this interpretation, you can attempt to change my mind on this, but I'm just as certain you'll expose your own biases and ignorance in the process, so by all means, try me.
