I don't think the data supports "lone wolf" terrorism as uniquely American, but if I was doing the worldbuilding, it would be. The country that famously prides itself on individualism having a social problem that's a reflection of its values? It's just too good.

An image of a Tumblr post screenshot which reads, "I'm available for fun sweetie, where are you?" underneath the text is a poll with the two options being, "I'm new Latina babe in town, and I don't know much about your zip code so I can." and, "Are you a cop or in any way affiliated with law enforcement." The visible tags for the post are as follows: #yellowjackets, #taylorswift, #the mandalorian, #donald trump, #welcome home, #asexual, #succession, the rest of the tags are cut off.

SINCE WHEN CAN BOTS CREATE POLLS??? EXCUSE ME?? ALSO WHAT ARE THESE OPTIONS?

Screenshot of the Dan Vs. "I don't care who the IRS sends I'm not paying taxes" meme. The top panel of Dan opening the door to a woman has the poll option "I'm new Latina babe in town, and I don't know much about your zip code so I can" edited as the caption. The bottom panel of Dan looking up has the poll option "Are you a cop or in any way affiliated with law enforcement" edited as the caption.

I’ve been watching some Louis Feuillade (<- French director, known mostly for his 1910s pulp crime films)

^ this shit is so embarrassing man. "destroy artists because they may inspire resistance." not a single fucking bullet point about actual labor concerns. when i say that most anti-ai sentiment is driven by reactionary "art must have a soul" fandom-as-politics shit this is what i mean. and why is there a maple leaf

saying things cannot be art because they are "soulless" (which is what i'm specifically referring to, not general belief in "a soul") or do not capture the "human spirit" is one of the main topics that right-wing chuds with roman statues for pfps love to whine about. conservative critics have railed against modern art on these terms for nearly a century. the catholic church explicitly endorses this viewpoint wrt genAI.

my point is: a lot of otherwise liberal, irreligious people who call genAI images "not art" appeal to vague, supernatural "a Real Human must sweat and bleed for the Art to be imbued with the Human Heart and therefore have Value" shit. this is a vocabulary and logic that plays into the hands of christofascist culture war types and how they want "art" to be defined.

this is also just. blatant conspiracy theory. like it's one thing to say "ai makes search results suck," it's another to say "big tech is intentionally making search results suck to censor knowledge"

like come the fuck on man. get real.

also thats not even what fascism is.

if 'big tech' wanted to censor knowledge via making search results worse they can just... do that. google doesn't need to throw a couple hundred million usd into Gemini to generate AI slop to pollute search results, they already control search results. because they are google.
