And voting for people that will make everyone’s life hell and ensure that no one else will ever get to experience the quality of life that they did.

The difference is creativity. If a completely uncreative person and an actual artist both used AI to make something, I’m willing to put money down that the actual artist will produce something a lot more interesting and profound than the uncreative person.

Especially when you get down to the kind of people that didn’t even realise which machine was being raged against and who have zero media literacy or reading comprehension. It doesn’t matter how good the AI is, the work they produce is still going to be bottom tier crap.

Watched that a couple of months ago, had a good time. Was pretty surprised to find the origin of FitGirl’s profile pic.

The main one that comes to mind isn’t a song but a band. I LOVED In Flames. Now it just reminds me of a really shitty time in my life involving heartbreak and the end of my first band.

I think that this is the thing that’s starting to really get me about this crowd. The pure unashamed hypocrisy and contradictions, accompanied by zero self reflection or awareness.

“I love freedom of speech and expression! Now shut up and get out of my sight, gay people.” “I care so much about the kids, so I’m supporting politicians that want to marry and fuck them.” “I can’t stand these feminazis acting like all men are ok with rape, now excuse me while I listen to the latest sermon from Andrew Tate.” “I’m sick of DEI ruining my precious meritocracy. That’s why I’m voting for an ex reality TV star to be my president and why I’ll defend him putting a news reader in charge of the military.”

I feel like I could actually go on and on and on with more examples of this if I really tried. And I know that we’re supposed to be kinder to these people or some shit, so that they don’t crap in their nappies and their temper tantrums and vote for even bigger pieces of shit next time. But at this point, tell me, how does one view these people as anything other than cruel, profoundly fucking stupid hypocrites?

Some anti-vaxx, conspiracy nut with a dead worm in his head that died eating part of his brain, who likes to do weird shit with roadkill. Aka the USA’s top healthcare guy.

Reminds me of the intro to one of the WASP albums where the announcer is doing a big top circus schtick and welcoming everyone to the show. And he says “boys and girls and wild ones of all ages.”

Captain Planet’s enemies are now running the world and openly dismantling environmental protections like it’s a matter of pride to them. And half the people that grew up watching Captain Planet voted them in.

Everyone is a liar and everything is fake news. The media reports something? Lies. AI says something? Lies. Your neighbour tries to tell you something? Lies. The whole world freaks out and tries to convince you to change your ways? Lies.

Everyone is a liar except for when they say something I agree with and don’t have to think too hard about. Everyone is a liar except for my little in group.
