When Hitler killed millions of Jewish people (and others who were deemed "undesirable"), his evil was obvious. When the colonizers murdered natives without batting an eye, their evil was obvious. When anything like this that isn't widely known happens, we can spot the evil easily, especially with hindsight.

We're living in a new era of evil people. Their killing and genocides are far less obvious (in Billionaire US) and, hey, they have all sorts of mechanisms to hide behind. They control the narrative via the news outlets that they own, they control our government and they have us hating each other to keep our focus off of them and the wretched deeds they're doing.

Which brings me to Brian Thompson, United Healthcare's former CEO. Did he walk into hospitals and/or homes and put guns to anyone's heads? Did he or his executives pull life support and cackle as they did so? No. They hid behind "denying claims" for profits.. which pulled the life support for them.

People died, people ARE DYING, because of greed that won't stop. We tried changing things "the right way" via legislation, peaceful protests, even lobbying.. but we couldn't beat the cash flow. When people are desperate and they see no other way out, violence becomes the only answer. The only thing these ghouls value more than money are their own lives.

Which is why i must say.. Luigi Mangione is a hero. And just look at them.. they are trying so hard to turn us against him however they can bc they are scared. They see that we see that it's not the right vs the left.. it's the rich vs the poor. In their fear, they're showing us that the life of ONE CEO is more valuable than all the kids who have died in school shootings and all of Brian Thompson's victims, etc etc.. and that's on top of watching billionaires being appointed to government positions, even sadistic ones like Elon Musk. Large scale evil isn't obvious when you're in the middle of it and it's hard to see when they're doing everything they can to hide it from us. We have to keep going. That's my stance.

(And honestly if you couldn't tell that from my writing, i dunno how to help ya >.>)

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT CONDONING VIOLENCE.

btw, it's not solely AI users who dislike the (old fashioned) process of creation. It's practically a meme that writers hate writing! And you often get people being like "if you don't enjoy writing, just don't do it", but that's completely missing the point. People have things that they want expressed; part of themselves which they wish was visible and understood; and the fact that they find the process of writing or drawing unenjoyable doesn't change that. But now that AI is a thing, it feels like a lot of those very same people are now doing a 180 and insisting that they love the process of writing and drawing; indeed, that enjoying the process is the whole point! (tbh it's probably not the very same people; it just feels like it because of the goomba fallacy)

I sincerely doubt a lot of people who claim to enjoy writing or drawing actually experiences pleasure from the process most of the time. Rather, I suspect they enjoy the satisfaction of being able to point to something and say "I made this". The pain, the struggle, the blood, sweat and tears, the years of dragging themselves to their desks each day to practice is not enjoyable, but it gives them meaning. This is why they accuse AI users of thinking that "typing in a prompt makes them an artist"; they're projecting their own motives onto us, so they can only conclude we're self-deceivers, satisfied with saying "I made this" when our process was but an empty mockery of the meaningful struggle they engaged in.

I kind of get that. If I'm being honest with myself, there is a part of me that wants to be the One To Make It. If someone independently comes up with the story I'm writing and executes the themes in a satisfying way that would be hard for me to surpass, a part of me would be a bit sad I won't get to be the first to make something like that. But a much bigger part of me would go "finally!", squee and become the #1 fan of the work that has finally said what I've always wanted to say my whole life.

I choose to embrace that second part of myself. I just want this vision I have to be realized, no matter how it comes to be. And I won't let my ego stand in the way.

Sleeps

I wallpaper my room with hundreds of rejection letters and heartbreak poetry Always the same excuse I'm just not what they're looking for But to keep submitting is a goddamned shame.

Offensive and disgusting I write of devils dancing on pinheads there's no angels here, not tonight so let's just call it what it is a cynic smile and real bad attitude leaving clues buried in my backpack

I throw paint at the canvas we'll call it abstract and sell it for a quick buck There's no soul in manufactured art and if here ain't no soul, it ain't worth my time

Acceptance and expulsion time for us to get off this damned island It's been too many moons since I last saw you remember, only ten more sleeps nine eight seven six five four three two

GET YOURS NOW!!

Goes perfectly with Trump's new rightwingtips -- they're also missing a sole.

So if you love me, let me go.

And run away before I know.

My heart is just too dark to care.

I can't destroy what isn't there.

Deliver me into my fate

If I'm alone I cannot hate

I don't deserve to have you...

My feelings on A.I. "Art"

I will say one thing about these algothims. They are a collective mirror to our post-postmodernist world.

Images without meaning.

Invocations of the liminal.

Concepts without context.

Facades without reflexions.

Fetus

A girl who craved for attention so much

That when she got it from evil and monsters

She accepted it and played along.

A girl who always keep waiting for her knight in armour to save her has changed into the villian of her own story.

A girl whose dreams were crushed by the crucial reality
