Slop gets dropped
It doesn't matter. Buy European, comrade.
You're doing exactly what it warns against right now.
Low-quality bait
I know you guys will be the last to figure this out but AI isn't 4 fingered slop anymore, it's now making memes and images that are genuinely great
would you rather:
build cohesive movements
have an internet argument about a cartoon otter
How does the lazily made cartoon otter do anything at all?
So if we say we like the AI slop you'll go fix problems in the world?
We all know you came here to whine about the otter.
We all know what's required to remove fascists from power.
You shouldn't clutch pearls about actual leftists not wanting to give power back to the Neoliberals. Neoliberalism is a dying right wing ideology and we're done pretending rich white Neoliberals who suck rich cock will ever improve the lives of regular people.
These ones in particular.
People in this thread slinging around insults trying to upset each others ' egos and start quarrels.
*choose the lesser of two evils, despite the option of not choosing evil always being an option
*keep the Neoliberals and their rich doners in power
*shrug shoulders and make up excuses instead of allowing real change to happen.
Neoliberals have helped push the country right for over 50 years, we are done learning this lesson.
The leftists will not be shamed into letting the Neoliberals keep us down any longer.
This election the Neoliberals can get with the program or get the fuck out of the way
There needs to be a large movement to oppose the neoliberal parties. And that requires avoiding schisms. And starting arguments about every little thing isn't the way to do that.
Communist movements have seized power by building broad movements of national liberation + the proletariat + the peasant class + the semi-proletariat + the petty bourgeoisie.
Communist movements have failed when they let faddists and cranks ventilate their opinions on vaccination, vegetarianism, technology, etc. and derail the movement. Internal discord is the chief enemy.
Socialism is seizing the means of production from the private capitalists. Agreed? If you're on board with that, you're a comrade, even though we may disagree about trivial matters like cartoons.
I'm not sure why you'd expect the anthropomorphized otter to have the correct number of fingers regardless of how it was made.
If it was made with care then Iโd expect some thought to be put into it. If it were like the Simpsons or a number of other cartoons for example, wherein a finger is intentionally omitted as an artistic choice, then that would justify a lack of accuracy. The finger count wasnโt even something that I brought up, and I didnโt even look into it in this case until someone else erroneously thought that my gripe was a lack of realism in the message. My gripe is a lack of human in the message, especially when someone wants there to be an imitation of one.
A medium posing as human craft is apathy for the presentation and therein exploitation of the audience. Itโs like those spam letters I get sometimes that are made to look handwritten with a supposedly real humanโs signature but are just factory-made and stamped on with a mechanized print pad and all they want is to solicit something from me via deception.
What is it trying to deceive you about and solicit from you?
LOL
edit: I'm worried you may have missed the point so here's another one, are the number of fingers correct on this one?
What about this one?
A Potemkin is a Potemkin, regardless of how well it deceives
You do realise the otter is holding a sign written in english asking for left wing progressives to be a little less militant right? and you looked up on wikipedia the number of fingers an otter has?
Slop gets dropped. If thereโs not a human behind the content, then Iโm not going to consume or value it and I will do what I can to disadvantage it.
Youโre not going to convince of a message by referring me to a clear piece of propaganda as a source. If one were to do what this user did and simply type out a message instead of ensconcing it in artificiality then Iโd listen.
Youโre the one that brought up the number of fingers, underscoring how little examination you even gave to that which you attempt to justify. Donโt attempt to deceive others by framing that as my position.
Right... I duno about you but I spend on average about a few seconds looking at the average meme image, I'm not deep inspecting it and looking up on wikipedia to ensure it has the correct amount of limbs or fingers or feet or toes or whatever.
Anyway I gotta go, the stock market is about to open and it's important that I watch the charts
You know that 4 fingers was a cartoon thing since long ago, right? Donald duck has 4 fingers, for example
