Well as an American, I think it’s weird that you’re blaming poor people (who mostly cannot vote) for the words and actions of Trump. If I can’t do anything about this, the kind of people who take this particular drug really can’t, seeing as they’re mostly homeless people and very poor people without documentation, in my experience. IDK if I know any weathy Republicans who take fentanyl, most of them can just afford cocaine.
It’s so strange how people from overseas are blaming like… poor people and random white guys? We literally can’t do anything about Trump. He’s a dictator. I don’t know what y’all expect me to do. They’re either gonna kill me or tap my phone. I think one of these has already happened, and I didn’t even do anything to warrant a phone tapping.
I wish Bill Gates would publicly trip and fall on banana peels like Bezos does.
I don’t think I’ll ever consensually use Windows ever again.
Oh, that’s why you’re blaming me. You think the free market is real, like as in something that exists in real life.
Yeah I guess some degree of responsibility, but it’s probably minimal. It’s true that they did not try, and probably some of them wanted fascism as long as it didn’t happen to them, some of them didn’t know, I don’t think it matters either way, because the average person is genuinely powerless against the system. I also don’t think voting for Trump is the same thing as using AI to generate clickable icons and clipart slop… but, I am going to stop using AI because of the nude photo thing. I knew that some weirdos did that to women they know and I knew pedos did that to people’s kids they find on Facebook, I just didn’t know it was happening on the clearnet. I assumed those stories were about weird online forums or on the deep web, or on an onion site or something. This is so crazy.
I genuinely think that it is morally rephrenensible to vote for a fascist.
However, you are correct. I don’t think Trump’s presidency is the fault of ‘Trump voters.’ I think Trump voters are assholes, but unless they are all also billonares with near infinite money, or members of a secret orginization containing only high-ranking military officials, or a member of a well-connected secret hacking group or something, I don’t think they could have done anything about Trump or someone like him rising to power. I think this because I try to think about and understand power dynamics. This is fucked up an unfortunate to think about and acknowledge, but confronting reality is the first step to changing it.
No I don’t think that eating meat, using plastic straws or bags, or drinking Starbucks is my fault any more than using AI is my fault. Those might not be good things to do, but at the end of the day I live in poverty. I’m sorry. I’m not going to shoulder the personal guilt and responsbility that belongs to somebody else.
A lot of people don’t know that you’re not supposed to give them dry food.
Well, that’s dumb. I don’t think it’s my fault. They’re not making any money off of me using their AI. They’re just bullshitting so that people give them fake money. I don’t think I can do anything about that.
But yeah, I’ll stop using AI if it means that people are generating fake nudes all the time. That’s weird to me, I don’t want to be part of that. I’ll have to go back to Artstudio Pro, even though it kind of sucks, it’s only $20.
I use AI a lot to make clipart but to be honest I didn’t know about the Twitter AI because I’m not on Twitter.
I think you’re basing your hatred on a misunderstanding of how American society works, coupled with a lack of understanding of power dynamics.
The poor and middle class are not to blame for our own oppression, even if it’s our responsibility to either make change or survive in bad circumstances.
Your choice of words, “The American system,” hints at a worldview that is fundamentally at odds with material reality, and it’s frankly a lot to unpack. You’re viewing me as a participant in “the American system,” but this is a basically non existent concept which exists in propaganda. Most Americans cannot and have not ever been able to meaningfully participate in politics in the way you’re probably alluding to. You’re in Europe, right? I might be basing my own assumptions on bullshit propaganda as well, but I find it hard to believe that you don’t entirely know what I’m talking about.
