Better to jump into shark infested waters than to try and patch a sinking ship
Except no one on that boat is doing that
Bernie Sanders, “I’ll drill a hole at the other end to allow the water to drain out.”
using AI to create these images is really gonna help with the hole in the floor
There’s no way I will find it but I could swear I’ve seen that image before the AI hype.
In what way won’t it help? Be specific.
AI is quite energy intensive
How energy intensive?
Like, compared to random cat videos on youtube n all?
We’re losing this battle so quickly. It’s unreal to me how fucked we are.
Like sweeping the tide with a broom
who cares
Quite a lot of people, especially here on the Fediverse. You’d be wise to care too - AI is no friend to the working class.
I don’t and won’t. I didn’t make this I stole it from another site like a responsible punk
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.
You don’t have a say in the dictatorship of capital and white supremacy so it doesn’t matter what you do. If it makes you feel better then do it but it doesn’t accomplish anything.
but it doesn’t accomplish anything.
That’s what they want you to think.
No, they want you to think that voting Democrat will change things. Guess what. Democrats have a serious track record of escalating just as much as the Republicans. You think neoliberalism is a Democrat thing? No. It started with Reagan. You think the Republicans are the only war mongers? No. Clinton launched the first ever preemptive war for humanitarianism and Obama killed the first US citizen in a foreign land by direct order with a drone strike. You think the Republicans are the racist ones getting black people killed in the streets? No. The Democrats are in full support of transferring military surplus to local police around the whole country.
They want you to think voting matters because then you’ll spend all your energy voting and getting others to vote. The reality is that the march of fascism happens whether you vote or not and whether the Ds win or the Rs win. You will get the same net result no matter what. Just read the last century of American history. Even FDR’s New Deal was his gambit to save capitalism from the revolutionary conditions of the time. He says his greatest achievement was saving capitalism.
That’s the entire reason for the existence of the Democrats in this era - prevent revolt.
Neoliberalism started before Regan, Carter passed tons of neoliberal reforms. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/jimmy-carters-ruinous-neoliberal-legacy/
I’d probably date it to 1971 when it came to ascendancy, though the tendency was around earlier still. It was under a republican but it was Nixon.
You should read a book
Nah, Tories are like vampires and always come back somehow.
As a vampire, please don’t compare us to those fucking monsters. It’s extremely insensitive. Most of us are, in fact, antifascist, probably from the turnings of dying allied soldiers during the war…
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.
i’m not familiar with the UK specifically but the “toothless liberal frauds” vs “evil pedophile fascists” electoral dichotomy is everywhere now.
throw in a smattering of aristocratic titles, and yeah that describes UK politics.
Of course it is, even when the Democratic party has control of the Executive and House they talk about why they can’t do anything, then the Republicans take control and ram through a bunch of shit and the Democratic party points and clucks their tongues at them. It’s been that way since roughly Reagan.
yeah. the liberal parties honestly just feel like controlled opposition at this point. they are in on it, ratchet effect, and such.
To be fair, the American senate and house were not built to operate under blind fealty to a single party over country. Moving legislation quickly would require a strong majority. Without that it is a slow crawl or entirely unmoving. Holding up progress barely requires anything more than a single person, too. Which sucks entirely for general society which naturally sees progress.
It is an american phrase yeah, I’m being sarcastic. The elections are rigged and you don’t really have a say in the dictatorship of capital and white supremacy
Better off voting for the Russian boat that only comes out for a month every four years.
Be white supremacist USA empire of capital
Overthrow Russian Government
Rig Russian election and install compliant drunk
US crime families aka “corporations” run rampant and influence Russia
Move on to install potential US puppet that US presidents work with for years
You: The Russians are the cause of all our problems
Not really beating those Americans are propagandized stereotype are you disguy
