using AI to create these images is really gonna help with the hole in the floor

[-] guillem@aussie.zone 43 points 6 days ago

There's no way I will find it but I could swear I've seen that image before the AI hype.

it must be there for a reason

This is why I can't take "The purpose of a system is what it does" seriously

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

Why? The purpose of the system is to not work, so there are no democratic checks.

We're losing this battle so quickly. It's unreal to me how fucked we are.

First time? If there's one thing I've learned, it's that normies don't give a fuck and just want their simple distractions, regardless of what the greater cost to society is.

Better to jump into shark infested waters than to try and patch a sinking ship

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Better to organize and join revolutionary parties that stand a chance to actually not sink, when neither the Democrats nor Republicans can patch the hole (move beyond Capitalism and into Socialism, that is). The hole is Capitalism, it cannot be fixed by parties who are bought by Capitalists to serve their interests.

Except no one on that boat is doing that

[-] TheThrillOfTime@lemmy.ml 8 points 5 days ago

Except the point of the cartoon is that they don't want to patch that sinking ship.

You make this point like there’s any other option.

I would love to not have to vote for a Democrat.

But I have to, because we are all doomed.

[-] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 23 points 5 days ago

There are other options. Join a socialist org and organize/eductate within your workplace and community.

You don't have to vote for a Democrat.

People have been voting Democrats the whole time on our path to where we are, it didn't stop us from being doomed. We had 2 Obama terms right before Trump 1, then we had a Biden term between Trump 1 and 2 and it stopped/fixed nothing.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 19 points 5 days ago

You can join Leftist parties and try to build up alternatives that can avoid doom, you don't have to side against the people trying to save us all.

[-] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 5 days ago

The reason there isn't any other option is because nobody puts in the effort to add other options.

There's a Simpsons meme currently in Active on 196 rn from 1994 pointing out how ineffective both parties are. People have had longer than I have been alive to work on a third way.

America isn't collapsing now all of a sudden. People have been passively watching it die for decades.
