"AI" art is not only not plagiarism, it is among the only categories of human-made imagery that I wouldn't classify as plagiarism and that's most of the reason that I don't value it

you could also do everything by consensus: most people don’t give a shit enough to block things that aren’t relevant to them, it works for the reason that “direct democracy” doesn’t
The biggest problem with direct democracy is that not everyone has time to keep up with every policy issue and cast their votes accordingly—being a politician is a full time job, and most people have some other job! It seems like a straightforward solution to this is to allow people to delegate their vote to someone else, a "representative" who casts votes directly on behalf of the people they represent. So, if 100 people have selected someone as their representative, that representative gets to cast their 100 votes in the relevant legislative body. To add an additional check on representatives misbehaving, you could make votes instantly revocable—there is some buffer period after a peace of legislation passes (or doesn't) in which anyone who notices that their representative didn't vote the way that wanted can change their own vote to the other side. And, of course, anyone can vote directly if they want to, they don't have to give their vote to a representative.
This seems like an obvious idea; has it been tried anywhere?

look i dont want to be an asshole but like, yall know fascism isn't a vibe right? Like it's an actual ideology. communism is not fascism, they are different ideologies. fascists literally persecuted/murdered communists en mass. like, i think the word y'all are looking for most of the time is "totalitarian," but even that is debatable. is this because south park defined fascism wrong on that one bin laden episode? i know there's this prevalent "books are for tankies" and "why read theory" mind frame on this site, but do yall wanna maybe read a book or two about this?

i really do believe that the answer to a lot of people's self hatred is not to try and reassure them that they are wonderful and okay and enough, but instead to remind them theyre a completely unremarkable regular ass person who is not the center of the universe or especially important so why would they expect themselves to be some superhuman savior. like there really is a kernel of out of control self importance at the heart of thinking youre an evil lazy piece of shit. because why would you expect you be anything but just like some guy. if you wouldnt expect the guy who works at the vape shop or your mailman or whatever to be able to do something then why would you expect yourself to? youre just some random ass person. its fine
