Good luck finding one that genuinely believes in democracy beyond face level. It's all lies and double speak.

Republicans set the stage for a fascist overthrow back when Reagan gutted the schools to replace the scholars protesting Vietnam with ignorant degree holders easily swayed by propaganda while inserting military recruiters into the poor school cafeterias and stagnating wages to replace the draft

Bush Sr funded Al-queda, who's stated goal for 9-11 was to turn the USA into a religious dictatorship more like them.
Now the same party stands at the helm of the new religious dictatorship.
Bush JR is the nepo baby in the middle. And Bush Sr didn't do a quarter of the damage that Reagan did.

White supremacists have never been held to the standard of the law. From 2005-2019 the department of justice refused to prosecute 82% of reported hate crimes, per Reuters

The bar is meaningless when only the king and a single trusted advisor are allowed to interpret the laws per executive order

...He doesn't consider non wealthy or non white people "his people"
Centrists believing 'everyone' is proud to be an American and has democracies best interests at heart is part of the reason white supremacists were able to seize power and throw out the constitution while sabatoging the government

I felt that
My dad inherited the house my grandparents did extended family gatherings at and before he even told me, he had sold it to buy an RV to hang out with other trumpers in campgrounds.
He died of COVID and left everything to his new girlfriend.

I was forced to watch old grainy video of nazis performing public executions in the street in high school because I didn't get a permission slip to watch Saving Private Ryan.
Literally brains on the pavement. The crowd cowers. The nazis wave and beat their chests with pride while giving speeches

That may be the only way to get tried in a court instead of disappeared.
If the ICE assholes feel they can get financial compensation out of you in a US court because you killed or injured one of them.

Just because you stopped being a part of that protest world doesn't mean it stopped existing.
Plenty of anti war anti fascism and protest punk, folk, and hip hop music from the 70s-last year.
The centrists just decided they only wanted to take "civil" people seriously.

It works because people assume the person double-speaking must be too stupid to ever manipulate them while handicapping and making your enemy look weak if they correctly flip the accusation back at the speaker, Ala "I know you are but what am I" style.

Accusing your enemy of what you are guilty of before they have a chance to call you out is an old fascist strategy thoroughly described by the Nazi minister of propaganda in his book. The book Trump's ex wife said he kept by his bedside.

... he seems to have a firm grasp of the concept laid out in Heir Goebbels book about acussing your enemy of what you are guilty of before they have a chance to call you out.
...seems the public is less aware of how the fascist game plan was written

If only Reagan hadn't defunded the education system to make sure only Republicans ever read me in Kampf and Geobbels Book tho study the playbook.

Well it wasn't designed to help our wealthy compete with world trade.
It was designed to help working class folks not go homeless.
We could easily succeed with that same goal today

I'm just saying this is our third war.
And I remember the country music artists being heavily criticized for endorsing the wars and making songs catering to the terrorized zeitgeist, IDK about protests as I was in middle school

I firmly believe the states should be putting bounties on masked unidentified individuals posing as law enforcement until ICE is abolished.

Weren't Iraq and Afghanistan two separate wars?

You can't accept that my couterpoints crumple your argument so you devolved into insults. And started repeating yourself
Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean they are wrong or deceitful
comment in response to
post
You just don't read the counterarguments.
You accuse everyone who disagrees with you of being AI or using copypasta.
It's sad
comment in response to
post
I am definitely older than you based on your argument style.
I think you are misremembering a past you weren't around for.
This is like the photography panic, people thought that would destroy art too.
comment in response to

The sentence you are talking about is different too. One has a typo.
I'm beginning to think you ARE stupid tho
comment in response to
post
You used the word "you" over and over again.
Did you copy and paste it?
comment in response to
post
No it isn't. There was a typo in one of them

I actually have an art degree too
comment in response to
post
No free time from the multiple jobs.
I'd tell you to learn some empathy, but apparently it's quite hard.
Lacking it is also probably another reason nobody wants to buy your art tho
comment in response to
post
Each of these is individually typed and full of differences, you just haven't read them
comment in response to

There are literally differences of you bother to read
comment in response to

We have multiple jobs just to pay rent.
We can only afford free art.
If you can't afford to pay rent without selling paintings nobody can afford maybe you should get a job.
comment in response to
post
If you can't afford rent if you don't sell paintings you need to get a job instead of demanding people who already can't afford your paintings don't get free ai art
comment in response to
post
No, I didn't.
But you did.
comment in response to
post
I said the pics bring happiness.
I said paying an artist to make a similar series of paintings would cause me to miss rent and go homeless.
Get a job if you can't afford to live without people affording your paintings.

You aren't offering an ethical alternative to hyper customized free art tho, so you are
comment in response to
post
I haven't copy and pasted anything.
Actually you are the only one that has done that this conversation.
I have typed varying versions of the same response every time you argue in a circle, sure

And if you think that's a good look I don't care if you think I'm a moron.

You are still suggesting that the working class living paycheck to paycheck go without simple joys just to satisfy the ethic of people who have enough free time and money to paint pictures.
comment in response to
post
It's like saying people who can't afford organic food should starve because factory farms are evil
comment in response to
post
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
You aren't offering an ethical alternative to free hyper customized art
You're saying the working class go without simple affordable joys simply for ethics?
Anyone who can afford the art supplies and free time to make art isn't worried about rent
comment in response to
post
There was no ethical consumption under capitalism and it is therefore unethical for you to police people as if they have ethical alternatives that wouldn't cause them to miss rent.
Have you been grocery shopping at all lately?

My stake in AI is that it makes my dog look really cute like he is on studio Ghibli adventures and it's one of the only ways I can make a loved one smile in this scary world.
You are the Grinch.
comment in response to
post
I get it your feelings of self righteousness over AI is more important than people milking a tiny drop of happiness out of a generated image. How fucking dare they seek happiness in that when this world is so fucking scary.
comment in response to

It is an assumption you made based on your feelings, and I'm not expecting you to be a psychologist either.
comment in response to

You are policing people over carbon credits for taking a tiny bit of happiness out of generating cute images while companies piss all over spirit of the carbon credit program by simply buying the credits.
But pop off on me some more.

Yeah, you have feelings you feel justified your attacks, however feelings aren't justified excuses .
Hurt feelings are why trump bombed iran
comment in response to

I never said I wasn't a coward and an asshole just like you. I'm not the one grandstanding and holier than thouing and pissing on someone for generation a pic to get a tiny bit of happiness in this fucked world

I have a garden I'm growing food for my loved ones.
But I still do masterbate/fuck myself on occasion because it's nice and some like to watch.
You should do it too
comment in response to
post
Rather, I wdit that for length. I said you felt. You had feelings you felt justified.
But they are just feelings
comment in response to
post
No, I said you listed reasons.
Reasona = what "the because" is.
Hope that helps with your reading comprehension
