    AI generated slop, ICE would not have stopped, ICE would have ran her over and told you to ignore your lying eyes. Though it certainly puts tank man in perspective, it wasn’t just tank man, it was those driving and commanding that tank who still had enough shame to stop and not trample them.

    All of the ICE vehicles I’ve seen are unmarked, with non-uniformed masked men jumping out of them and attacking people or their vehicles. Maybe 10 years ago, a Florida Man shot a black kid for wearing a hoodie, and got off on “stand your ground laws”. Apparentlly, MAGA thinks “if they could be ICE, give them all your money and vehicles” or you, as domestic terrorist scum, deserve to get killed.

    I made this same comparison a few days ago and got down voted to hell for it. Glad I’m not the only one that sees it

        The fact that I trust a Chinese tank driver “more”, doesn’t mean I trust a Chinese tank driver.

        It would have been better formed if I said “I distrust a Chinese tank driver less than an ICE agent-”

        No. The Tianmen Square video is of tank man who made a tank stop instead of running him over. The protests were over a previous (1-3 nights before) protest or, according to Chinese Government, riot where protesters were killed. Deaths did not happen after tankman.

      Those in control of the USA are internationalists, too.

      They don’t care who “wins”, they profit off of the war itself (and the rebuild for that matter).

      They love tankies

        Then why would they love tankies, some of the only people who consistently oppose them building and using tanks?

          Tankies are “authoritarian communists”, they are not pro peace in any way, they love tanks.

          (standard definition, not familiar with the tankies that you describe)

            Really? Because I’m always calling for staying out of conflicts and dramatically reducing the military budget and people are constantly calling me a tankie because of those stances.

            See, if you don’t want war, it means you support the other side, and however bad “our” side is, the other side is always worse and more aggressive (the media says so, after all) and that means that anyone who’s pro-peace is actually pro-war, freedom is slavery, etc.

            So it was when I said we shouldn’t invade Iraq and Afghanistan, it meant that I was “a terrorist sympathizer” and “pro-Al Qaida,” and when I say we should stay out of Palestine, people say I’m “pro-Hamas” and when I say we should stay out of Ukraine people say I’m “pro-Russia” and a “tankie,” and if I don’t think the US has the right to kidnap heads of state I’m “supporting dictators.” Consistently advocating against the use of tanks is essentially the defining characteristic of a “tankie.”

                  Ai uses large servers and data farms. It doesn’t have to throttle your machine because it isn’t using your machine.

                You’re on a computer. You probably game too. You’re burning resources where ever you go. We need tools to fight fascists. I say use the tools we have. Without it, they have an advantage being able to create content and analysis. Also forests are fine. Don’t be dramatic. I’m not convinced that bots didn’t drive a lot of AI hate so that the left would hobble itself

                  Ai uses more resources than that and the tech bros are very responsible for the current fascism and I’m not going to use ai slop tools that are quickly using up the rest of our drinking water.

            More like, “it’s obviously good sometimes”.

            The extremist hardline stance will continue to soften over time to the point people will stop caring at all about it.

      I mean… I think it’s worrying that the norm is “who cares if it’s AI? It’ll fool plenty of people, spread it!” If that’s what you mean.

      Social media is going to kill us all well before AI does.

        Do you really think the intent of ops image is to “fool” people and not to be a parody political commentary?
