It's worth bearing in mind as we read more and more news about "AI" being shoved into every nook and cranny of the US federal government:
The right loves AI-generated imagery. In a short time, a full half of the political spectrum has collectively fallen for the glossy, disturbing visuals created by generative AI. Despite its proponents having little love, or talent, for any form of artistic expression, right wing visual culture once ranged from memorable election-year posters to ‘terrorwave’. Today it is slop, almost totally.

I'm not finding the reference right now but I've read similar observations about writing as well: the political right used to have talented writers, but nowadays not so much.

(This is not an invitation for "duh, they're just MAGA idiots" responses or variations on that theme. I'm as frustrated as the next person about the political climate but I'm not here for that).

New SocialistAI: The New Aesthetics of FascismIt's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

In the latest episode of The Comfortable Spot podcast, I chated with historian Don Wildman and we of course talked about #history repeating itself. You can access the podcast 👇. It had me thinking about history helping us to see the signs of #totalitarianism in modern #society how we can combat it so here's a 🧵on my thoughts. Keen to hear from you too. #FacistState #Nazis #farright #Germany #Trump. thecomfortablespotpodcast.com/

#StephenHarper’s recent public endorsement of #PierrePoilievre provides us with a direct link from #FarRight authoritarian #VictorOrban to #quisling #Conservatives idolizing populist Pierre’s power grab ambitions of grandeur.

Orban, Harper’s IDU BFF, was integral to enacting #Trump’s #authoritarian playbook, even sending a team of his best to assist in the creation of #Project2025.

My hope is that this endorsement from an illiberal, morally bankrupt boomer, heavily invested in Israeli security technology and chairman of the destructive Far Right IDU actively threatening democratic stability worldwide; backfires on #Poilievre.

Stephen Harper’s endorsement should be seen for what it is; a call to arms against “wokeness” and transparency in the interests of stifling democracy for a global far right alliance that seeks to install dictators around the world.

Hold the line #Canada, we got this. #elbowsup

🧵 2/2: Sam continues: "It doesn’t matter what the #law is or even if you know the law, if you are surrounded by completely unchecked state actors with guns. And that’s every single governmental system that we set up for ourselves in the entire Western world. As long as we create systems for ourselves where we completely relinquish power to armed state actors we are quite literally begging to be oppressed."

#Palestine is #activism ground zero. Heed that call!

On March 8, we opened the first abortion clinic in Poland – ABOTAK. Every day, we help women, but from the very beginning, we've been facing aggressive attacks from fanatics.

Shouting, vuvuzelas held up to pedestrians’ ears, wailing sirens exceeding 120 decibels – noise like that of a jackhammer. Elderly people are afraid to leave their homes, parents can’t put their children to sleep, and residents are being denied their right to peace on weekends and holidays.

Now things have escalated even further. A few days ago, someone poured butyric acid at the entrance to our facility – a substance not only foul-smelling but also dangerous to health. Our financial losses amount to several thousand złoty, but Polish taxpayers bore even higher costs for the disposal of the acid and fire department assistance. Meanwhile, the city and police have yet to respond decisively to this vandalism and aggression. Look what they did to us.

And all of this is happening at Wiejska 9 – just 10 steps away from the Parliament and the Presidential Chancellery.

Do we really have to wait until someone gets hurt?

Will the Warsaw authorities and the Polish police finally take action?

Can the Civic Coalition’s presidential candidate, who promises to legalize abortion, ensure safety in his own city?

Let’s not allow this to continue! Help us bring attention to these attacks and pressure the authorities to respond!

We cannot be intimidated. ABOTAK is staying and needs your support!

Thank you that we can count on you!

I really hate to see that nowadays across the whole #European continent the people are very divided. We are witnessing a rise of #farRight and also #farLeft which both humiliate the #centre.

Can we finally agree that there is no ”we/they?” Can we finally agree that all of us want #Europe to thrive, but just with some other solutions?
Can we go back to the times when discussion was something normal?
Can we finally stop hating on each other?

Sometimes I think I'm on vim and I end up typing "kkk" in another random text window.

Must be the same for the likes of Trump, Musk, and so on, except they probably don't use vim.

Le Pen's 'Plan B' stood for Bardella – until it became likely.

The far-right Rassemblement National party is refusing to prepare Jordan Bardella for the 2027 presidential election, fearing it would weaken Marine Le Pen, who is hoping to overturn her ban on running in elections.
