Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
Don't take yourselves too seriously. Serious posts go to !anarchism@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Absolutely no right-wing jokes. This includes "Anarcho"-Capitalist concepts.
-
Absolutely no redfash jokes. This includes anything that props up the capitalist ruling classes pretending to be communists.
-
No bigotry whatsoever. See instance rules.
-
This is an anarchist comm. You don't have to be an anarchist to post, but you should at least understand what anarchism actually is. We're not here to educate you.
-
No shaming people for being anti-electoralism. This should be obvious from the above point but apparently we need to make it obvious to the turbolibs who can't control themselves. You have the rest of lemmy to moralize.

This is a common but reductive statement and I'm tired of hearing it. People have been drawing crude boobs on rocks since the first man picked up a stick but I don't hear you complaining about childrens drawing. 'AI', especially the current iteration of it, is being used for all kinds of shit that would've taken conventional computing a million real-hours to do. There is no reason that real artists can't or shouldn't incorporate AI into their workflow in any capacaity if it helps them realize the idea they have. Denoising is a simple use case that you've used if you ever took a photo on your phone but, again, I don't hear you bitching about that one.
The only thing you could possibly be upset about is that the barrier of entry to making passable art with no thought put into it has been lowered so much that a child can do it. That's a problem of you looking in places that allow that to be posted, though. You could just not. I, for example, don't care for stable diffusion spam; I don't see a lot of it because I don't go where that kind of art is.
I'm sorry if this comes off as rude but I'm really tired of hearing uh buh AI art bad with no expansion or introspection.
There is no such thing as AI art.
Thank you for the your incredible insight and immense contribution to the discussion.
I did provide some insight, by responding to someone that replied to my comment. Feel free to read it.
I read it. Why didn't you say that to begin with? We can't infer what you mean when all you present is a simple, generic statement. Your follow-up is much more clarifying.
I usually do elaborate on my points, but you said you were tired of reductive statements, so I thought it would be funny if I made one.
That's actually funny, it just went over my head
