For real, everyone I know in my generation is either living with their parents, sharing a rented apartment with 5 other people, or intermittently homeless.

boo hoo, you can’t buy eggs every day, fuck off.

I’m glad they did, otherwise someone might have assumed it was the great wall of France

It can’t be a solution, because it assumes that just because you have an internationally recognized state, then you won’t be attacked and bombed by Israel.

See: Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Jordan

You’re choosing to misinterpret what I said entirely, I did not say that every human made meme is high effort.

But for a human artist to make an equivalent piece of artwork to what you’ve produced with A.I here, that takes a lot more time and effort, which by itself makes it funnier due to the absurd and amusing meta narrative of someone painstakingly recreating Samuel L Jackson’s image by hand just for a joke.

And I can tell you with certainty that when people make memes that obviously have more effort put into them, it does go noticed and it does add to the humor. Humor is subjective, sure, but there is a reason why “High quality Shitpost” as a term exists. Don’t act like this is only something new being used to stigmatize A.I.

I know I can’t convince you, but I do hope you at least ponder over the idea.

I guess the best way to explain would be the concept and distinction between a regular “shitpost” and a “High quality shitpost”. It is not solely about the final product, what adds to the charm of a human being creating a highly convincing, detailed artistic rendition of Samuel L Jackson as Vladimir Lenin, is the very knowledge that someone was willing to sit there and devote hours, perhaps days, and even money, art supplies and energy to painstakingly produce something that is merely meant to be a joke to illicit amusement among a niche online community.

When instead you see these images and know that it’s the result of running prompts through an image generator until it produces a handful of passable results, and the most amount of human effort involved is likely spent in just curating the best results, this element of “damn, they actually did all this for a meaningless meme” no longer applies, and the charm is definitely diminished.

I hope I’m putting this across in a way that makes sense.

To each their own of course. I found it funny myself, and then seeing that theres like 5 more that look the same just conjured up the content mill flashbacks in my head and soured the mood altogether.

Zionism is the Typhoid Mary of anti-Semitism.

That thread was your justification for using AI to make artwork, I don’t disagree overall. I just don’t think AI generated propaganda is effective for this sort of thing. Maybe to articulate some basic idea you could get away with it, but as artistic propaganda such as this, it just comes across as bland, like most A.I generated content that the average person has to contend with while using the modern internet. We should try and stand out from the content churn, not try and blend in with it.

Idk if this is even accurate, it seems more like they pay lip service to the global south, while materially always siding with the global north.

You can safely assume if it’s posted by yogthos it’s likely A.I. They’ve convinced themselves that it’s effective agitprop.

Shitty AI artwork

This is nothing new, since the 90s, both the far right “monarchists” and every stripe of socialist in Russia has been united against the liberal destruction of the Russian system that was taking place back then. Just take one look at the mass protests in Russia in the early 90s, you’ll see all sorts of odd flags, hammer and sickles side by side with the black white and yellow. It just goes to show how fucking terrible things were in Russia that these groups were all on the same team to oppose the west/Yeltsin.

It’s because this sort of protesting is primarily for virtue signaling, they want to show other people who already agree with them how much they “get it” and how smart they are etc. They aren’t making sure they’re directing their energy at sending a message to those who are actually in power, which is why they don’t take it as seriously.

Don’t let the scots and welsh off so easy either, I see them trying to pretend like they’re victims way too often.

… what’s just capitalism?

It was more than likely made to comment on the killing and subsequent funeral attack on Palestinian journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022 by the Israeli occupation.

Bingo

Look at who posted this, then you’ll see why this is funny.

I think they were talking about the militant naxalite movement in rural India, they’re real maoists engaging in people’s war in the indian countryside. Although it’s been shrinking for nearly 2 decades.
