the same guys who post “easy times create weak men” memes with Thomas Cole’s Course of Empire paintings are now posting GenAI Ghibli slop and I think that’s beautiful

The easy times weak men thing is just 4th turning translated into hustle-culture lingo. Strauss and Howe definitely jumped the gun making a lot of big proclamations in their book, but I think “periods of hardship tend to self select for people with their shit together” generally tracks.
It is increasingly frustrating to me that more people don’t understand that brain dead meme posters are the enemy, regardless of ostensible political affiliation.
Real resistance is not posting AI generated pics of Trump and Musk making out.
Exactly what infuriates me the most. I knew that shitty people were going to jump to make shitty ai memes. I wasnt expecting that people who at first claimed to be anti generative AI will also give up and do shitty memes too so quickly. Both sides sucks the same way
I have those paintings, I'm sorry to hear chuds also enjoy them. However it is fun to have them strategically spread around my house like some kind of Resident Evil puzzle.
I've never seen so many people collectively misunderstand a piece of art the way these people do. Wait, actually I have, Starship Troopers. Some people really didn't get that movie.
