remember…
This comment section is gathering personal attacks so we are locking it.
Additionally: we don’t have a rule against AI generated images, so we had a discussion about this and wanted to hear what the !buyeuropean@feddit.uk community thinks about it before acting on the reports.
Will announce more about the AI discussion soon in a separate post.
Did an AI make this image?
I love how the propaganda bots have persuaded everyone to focus on whether or not this image was made with AI, and everyone completely forgot about the very positive and constructive message in this image.
they’re not bots, everyone is sick of AI slop everywhere, and it’s especially distasteful to use it for activism messaging, an extremely human endeavor.
if there’s any shill-bots involved, they’re creating and promoting these while downvoting human made art because the ai argument is inevitable.
in fact, the amount and ratio of upvotes compared to people actually writing out complaints proves that i’m right.
appropriate username, btw…
Meeting in the middle has turned a country of union supporters into fascists in less than 50 years.
We’ve been falling for the “lesser of two evils” rhetoric since Nixon.
Neoliberals are on the same team as the oligarchs.
movement-building ≠ meeting in the middle

Leftists letting Neoliberals have all the power is not working together, it’s conceding to an occupying power.
Sorry but means testing and shrugging our shoulders like the Neoliberals have done for 50 years pushes the country further Right.
We’re done learning this lesson and now we’re doing something different.
This time it’s the Neoliberals that can get on board or get the fuck out of the way.
The Americans have a garbage left for a lot of reasons, but a lot of it is self-inflicted.
Their refusal to build consensus and instead doing the holier-than-thou internet-argument thing is obviously not the way to gather tens of millions or hundreds of millions together and take power.
Feeling purer than someone on the internet gives a short-term ego-boost, but it isn’t the way to build a political movement among hundreds of millions of people with diverse opinions.
All of these rules would have helped the Occupy Wall Street back in the day
