The thing about a party that does nothing but maintain the status quo is they will never make things better.
I don’t think it’s healthy to feel morally superior for preventing progress.

Lmao which numbr bigger pedant
I don’t care a third of the country stayed home. They do that every election and always will.
Because they know the Neoliberals who are putting on these events won’t ever organize or use their numbers in a threatening way.
They also understood the history of protests and weren’t fooled into thinking standing around with signs was going to make their opressors be nice.
Not a single right that we have was given to us
Every single right we have was won from bloody conflict against oppressors.
The status quo depends on us never truely forcing change to happen.
Peaceful protests working is American revisionist history.
The majority voted for Donald Trump.
He won the popular vote.
He did not win because of some electoral college bullshit.
He won because more people voted for him than his opponents.
Come to terms with the fact that 1 third of our country would sit on the couch and watch another third exterminate the last third.

Why am i blaming a party that is totally incapable of representing their voters?
Because this is supposed to be a democracy?
We’ll get shot anyway if we don’t start shooting back
*Because Boomers are the only generation left that can afford to take a day off.
So are or are we not allowed to talk about the illegal but practical solutions to fascism here?
Ironically this instance bans people who suggest we do more than wave signs.
Anti genocide Gaza protesters also got thrown out of Bernie’s rally and the Hands Off protests.
This is almost verbatim the same argument they use against piracy saying if people can pirate “no one buys any disks from the store”
Do you understand the different conext of wanting something to be profitable vs wanting people to know you made the thing you worked to create?
This is i think a core separation on the issue, and speaks to how little empathy the AI shovelers have for the tools they use trained on the hard work of real human beings.
I’m not taking credit for it, maybe some people do, but it’s a strawman argument to say everyone does.
So who are these people crediting when the image they asked to be generated is using art that isn’t credited?
People who make a moral panic about forms of piracy are basically screaming “Think of the children” as far as I’m concerned.
Spoken like someone who hasn’t created art great enough that they want their name on it.
It’s ultimately trying to justify passing off the work of others as their own by obfiscating the way in which it’s done.
It’s not worth creating your own art if an AI is just going to rip your style and take credit the second you post it.
I often find the people who make excuses for AI art theft have never taken the days to make a piece of art that you upload to a community just to see others passing off your work as their own.
It’s been proven the artists used in the training data can be identified by the art the AI generates. As well as with generted text. It doesn’t copy pixel for pixel or word for word, but it copys identifiable techniques and prose.
I wouldn’t have as much of a problem with it if every artist agreed for their works to be used, but these bots just scraped the open internet and took everything they could find and that’s the training data.
No, aknowledging reality isn’t stupid
All AI art is trained on the work of real artists who didn’t give consent for these programs to copy their work.
If society thought people copying parts of other artists work was stealing before AI we should treat AI art as stealing because it copys parts of artists work.
It’s worth aknowledging that gathering will never do anything.
We have to do SOMETHING with the numbers.
If they don’t voluntarily step down we need to use our numbers to physically stop them.
This is engaging with reality.
Voting for another Neoliberal will not fix any problems. We already learned this lesson in 2016 and 2024
It’s time for leftist leadership
Does it pay enough to ever be free one day?
