Using AI generated memes based on a Japanese artist this was after we got confirmation that AI art can't be copyrighted 🤔 does that mean DMCA is the good guy?

The only war is class war! Immigrants are hard working people who deserve a path to citizenship. The parasite class is the tech bro oligarchs!
They weaponized the only interesting thing about America. Immigrants.

Those of us who survive this hell will show this to our children, when they're old enough.
Studio ghibli produced some of the profoundly touching movies ever made. Them butchering it like this with AI is just fucking stupid.
7 fingers btw.
Nice catch!

It's even a bad image for their intended purpose, because it evokes empathy for the person crying in handcuffs.
I guess since the person making it and the philistine machine that produced it both have no understanding of empathy nor art, that was lost on the generators of this image.
You've missed out on the last several decades of Republican rhetoric, tears of "their enemies" is exactly what they want. They know they're the bad guys and revel in it.
Y’all thought trail tears wasn’t a burn on natives? Like laugh at the people who died in forced marches.

This isn't like tears of their enemies though, it just evokes empathy. I haven't cried in a long time, don't cry often, and didn't cry about this image. It's just a sad image.
It's close to actual reality, where a lady probably previously working in a kitchen in a hairnet is sad that she's being deported, and some villainous, stone-faced everyman tries to look tough while standing in front of a flag.
Usually they add in some fascist elements that make it look more glorious to be a sack of shit, but they didn't even do that with this image.
Yeah. It's white, military authority literally standing on the side of the flag. They're crying because they're being handcuffed "probably because they're gonna be sent back to their shithole country cuz they came here illegal."
Perhaps you think this is more empathetic because of the art style but this is rote, flag-hugger imagery. Except this was probably produced by bot and the poster was too lazy to run the gen more than twice.

Not many people with empathy are left on Xitter, I suppose.
If you hate your mental health, you can use Nitter to read the replies to that post. Just the most sickening shit imaginable.
Nah I'm good, I bailed on that site as soon as it was sold.

I utterly despise this AI Ghibli trend. If you're a fan of Ghibli or Hayao Miyazaki you wouldn't do this. I especially hate that fascists are now doing it. Miyazaki hates fascists. I hate what the internet and social media have done to our society. Clearly the majority of us are not ready to use them responsibly.
From when he first came into office he was talking about "Lying CNN" on the official Whitehouse website. I think it was cooked long before this.
I don't understand what they thought this image would do? Except make people more upset.
They're the living embodiment of the Genoese saying "to cut off your dick to spite your wife". They live to make other people "mad", but being sympathetic with the plight of less fortunate people isn't "being mad". They are nothing more than bullies, but they run a world power.
They want to show how tuff white cops are when they attack somebody's mom.
When people say the cruelty is the point they really mean it. MAGA fascists consider this satisfying. If it makes people upset that's even better. Imagine these people as highschool bullies. That's really all there is to it.
MAGA and fascism are not simple bullying. They are not "politics". They are a mental illness epidemic.
These people have had their logic corrupted, like a neurological virus. They can't explain Trumps policies or what he's done to benefit them. They don't even care. They just have "faith" in the closest thing to Satan they'll ever see, for absolutely no reason they can logically explain. They are insane, and a danger to society.
