using AI to create these images is really gonna help with the hole in the floor

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

There's no way I will find it but I could swear I've seen that image before the AI hype.

it must be there for a reason

This is why I can't take "The purpose of a system is what it does" seriously

We're losing this battle so quickly. It's unreal to me how fucked we are.

First time? If there's one thing I've learned, it's that normies don't give a fuck and just want their simple distractions, regardless of what the greater cost to society is.

Better to jump into shark infested waters than to try and patch a sinking ship

Except no one on that boat is doing that

Better to organize and join revolutionary parties that stand a chance to actually not sink, when neither the Democrats nor Republicans can patch the hole (move beyond Capitalism and into Socialism, that is). The hole is Capitalism, it cannot be fixed by parties who are bought by Capitalists to serve their interests.

You make this point like there’s any other option.

I would love to not have to vote for a Democrat.

But I have to, because we are all doomed.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago

There are other options. Join a socialist org and organize/eductate within your workplace and community.

You don't have to vote for a Democrat.

People have been voting Democrats the whole time on our path to where we are, it didn't stop us from being doomed. We had 2 Obama terms right before Trump 1, then we had a Biden term between Trump 1 and 2 and it stopped/fixed nothing.

You can join Leftist parties and try to build up alternatives that can avoid doom, you don't have to side against the people trying to save us all.

Are you saying that you should vote blue as a form of harm reduction, or are you being sarcastic?

Btw, either way it's kind of an American centric perspective. Here in the UK, the red party is the harm reduction party.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (4 children)

i'm not familiar with the UK specifically but the "toothless liberal frauds" vs "evil pedophile fascists" electoral dichotomy is everywhere now.
