On a more serious note, is that really all the right offers, more AI slop? Sell your soul to fascism and the computer will do all the thinking for you? Wow what a deal!
juvenile politics like candy bracelets and opposing genocide
adulting is when you accept genocide in your heart.
Look, The Economist, if you want to stop the rise of socialism in the imperial core all you have to do is improve quality of life for the masses! It's a really easy thing to do, just dial back wealth inequality a bit and you'll have another 100 years of the Burgerreich. Surely if this is such a problem the bourgeois would be willing to part with a tiny portion of their hoards? 
There was a brief window where they did this, and they're still seething about it generations later. Just the idea of it is an affront to them.
Their own (half)-century of humiliation.
To do so would require bourgeois acknowledgement of the proletariat as human. Therefore, it is impossible.
I'm reminded of all those articles about remote work being bad and the need to return to the office that only ever interviewed managers and not workers.
Better call me a toiletatarian, because I continue to think that anyone who uses the word "illiberal" should be swirlied.
Liberal doesn't mean "private property" it means freedom and human rights
Okay, then private property is bad and we should get rid of it
That's an affront to liberalism!!
Freedom and human rights (when applied to the masses) are illiberal and populist, and therefore bad.
Freedom and human rights (when applied to porky only) are liberal and meritocratic, and therefore good.
The pro-AI slop thing is bad, but having the watermelon in there is absolutely ghoulish: “we must fight back against opposition to genocide.”
Really giving the game away there. If being against genocide is "illiberal" then they are admitting that to be a liberal at best means one is indifferent to genocide.
Wait what does the watermelon have to do with genocide? I'm very out of the loop
In places where the Palestinian flag is banned, the watermelon is used in its place since it's the same colors 🍉
Ohhhh. Thank you!
I'm usually out of the loop in my life, it's nice to help someone else once in a while
Watermelons I believe were also farmed by Palestinians
How could the far-right and far-left be gaining ground? Could it be decades of liberal capitalist fuckery inflicting misery on millions? Nah, it must be something else
The Anti-AI position isnt uniquley lefitst per-se. Lots of different types of liberals are Anti-AI. But yes ofc the Left is the most opposed to it from what I have seen.
The worst thing for AI enthusiasm are the AI enthusiasts for sure. The average person went from thinking it was funny to make Trump and Biden fight at WrestleMania or whatever to instantly shutting down even when they catch a whiff of it (real or imagined).
If they want to say popular things are Communist then I guess I can't stop them
There are plenty of anti-AI people on the right even, and leftists who favor it (like lemmygrad)
grad is more neutral than in favor of it i'd say personally
some are definitely very pro (including an admin), while some are anti (including another admin)
that's the vibe i get a least
Oh yeah I totally have seen rightwingers call it AI-Slop. Even if the right likes to use AI for low effort propaganda.
Well, among other things...
It is time to fight back
Decades of neoliberalism, falling wages, and backsliding of rights: I sleep
20 minutes of zoomers recognizing the system needs modest capital controls: REAL SHIT! It is time to fight back!
Popular opinion: “we want anyone who isn’t a heterosexual white man dead!”
The media: “the people just want fascism. What can you do lol?”
A tiny and shrinking irrelevant minority: “We just think giving the rich all these tax exemptions aren’t working.”
The media: “tyranny! The poors are oppressing us and we need to lock in!”
Like…just ignore us. No one even lets us get a word in without exploding into a ball of violence and trying to run us out of town.
You are falling for the consent manufacturing. Fascism isn't popular. Bigotry is not the popular opinion. It's been shown time and time again that "trans people bad" is not an effective rhetoric for right-wing politicians. They still use it because culture war bullshit is all they have as they cannot address any material conditions. The Democrats are currently in the same position. They lost because of their useless neoliberalism lowering people's living standards and their complicity in Israel's genocide, but because they are owned by corporate interests they cannot address these issues, so pretending like "we were too woke" is all they have left. It's not true, but they are trying to repeat it so often that people start believing it.
Taxing the rich is popular. Look at the comments under Joe Rogan's recent episode with Marc Andreesen. Even the average Joe Rogan listener is tired of billionaires. Do you remember the videos of nightclubs randomly projecting pictures of Luigi Mangione on the wall and the crowds cheering? Look at the the unrivaled enthusiasm Zohran Mamdani's campaign generated.
Left-wing ideas are popular, there are just trillions of dollars invested into convincing you that they aren't. The ruling class wants fascism, that's why they're trying to convince you everyone's already on board, but they're not. Your defeatism is really misplaced.
I remember a weird month or maybe it was just a week in 2016 where Bernie and Trump were the emergent front runners and the media did a false equivocation of both of them as “populists”
As if “do a thing that is popular with the masses” as a political platform is inherently bad and illiberal
"Democracy" is only valid if you are unpopular, apparently.
The same people will decry China as "undemocratic" tomorrow with no sense of irony.
The unwashed masses? They must never be listened to. They can’t be right.
build affordable 20 sq m apartments and give them vr headsets, seems cheap enough for porkies, if they were reasonable.
If she had won, we'd be at VR brunch right now.
The takaichi did win though
