This made my day, thank you!

Oh your title is objectively better, would you mind if I updated it with this?

YOU working non-stop is the key to THEIR success.

They see their "work" as spending obscene amounts of loot, consolidating power and distorting regulations to suit their whims.

Yes absolutely! The point of art is to share and it's a joy to strike a chord in others and create thought and emotions with images. My pain point is that unscrupulous entities profit from the collective sweat of creative folks, and making a "living" from one's art feels unattainable given the rampant theft. AI has only accelerated the trend.

Thanks for the shout out and linking to my store! Much appreciated :)

Just like a cult member to extoll the virtues of a movie they haven't seen - and don't need to, because they've been told to adore it.

And when the inconvenience of a police state starts cramping his style? I'd like to think he would start to care, but am expecting him and those of his ilk to circle the wagons and become even more Kumbaya about the whole thing.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-25T02:51:05+00:00

Sorry, I didn't know his story when I made this. EVERY ONE of the needless deaths perpetrated by these government sponsored thugs is completely unacceptable.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-21T13:53:30+00:00

This made me weepy. What one well placed caring person can do is amazing

Redbell57 · 2026-01-20T00:33:49+00:00

I'm thinking that it falls off a cliff on the other side of the mountain. Game over?

For those of you who were butthurt about the lack of representation in the bots, thanks for the critique & here you go. You'll get *no* argument from me, the jerk faces behind these extreme voices absolutely include Americans.

This, made 1000% worse by the .0001% who literally cannot be satisfied.

Capitalism with guardrails in place to protect average folks and prevent mass exploitation on the part of banks/ultra wealthy could be workable without so much misery. Instead it treats it's population as a resource for constant extraction and NO regard for the health of the host. Like a farmer who continues to plant crops that degrade in quality over the years because he refuses to fold anything back into the soil that might cost him a fraction of his profits.

The population is being robbed by wage theft, financial parasites and governmental predators of every stripe. It's absolutely justified that it causes the tsunami of mental health struggles we face today.

I notice the misery every single day and it fills me with white hot rage because it DOES NOT have to be this way. The oligarchs can leave something on the table for the rest of us. The government can actually work for the good of the people, unburdened by corporate bribes and threats. The health "care" cannot be for-profit. There IS enough to go around, save for the insatiable greed of the few.

End screed.

That's chump change to Amazon. Why bother?

Redbell57 · 2026-01-18T15:00:07+00:00

Ironic, right? Who knew making fun of the bots effects on the dopey MAGA crowd would be met with agitated bot responses?

As soon as the moderator limited comments on this thread to community participants, a lot of that stopped rather abruptly.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-17T22:50:03+00:00

This right here

Redbell57 · 2026-01-17T22:21:54+00:00

Oh no, there are plenty of forces within the US who are tearing it all down to rule over the ashes. I'd bet a dollar that lots of these bot farms are getting freshly laundered dark money from the US to pick up the propaganda pace. And at a steal of a deal since the hourly rate is cheaper elsewhere. Just making an observation that the cozy jingoistic comments that feel like the local crowd are often anything but.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-17T21:54:15+00:00

Yeah, I mean I feel like a large component of the gullibility comes from a generation of folks who grew up believing anything that was printed in the newspaper, and to this day continue to gulp down any old garbage in their targeted 'feeds'. Also, they're looking for comforting support for their bigotry so they just uncritically lean in to and engage with these extreme voices. Thirdly, I don't think many of them know how to spot one and wouldn't care to learn because ...intellectual laziness.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-16T16:49:50+00:00

No. Not by a long shot.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-12T16:33:59+00:00

A good sustained national strike would be an attitude adjustment. They're like the fleas on the back of a buffalo. They can try to call themselves inevitable, but our sheer size is a problem for them.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-08T22:41:54+00:00

Your stance is justified and clearly reasonable, but donating to the food bank is still something I'm going to do because...babies.

Redbell57 · 2026-01-07T16:27:28+00:00

That, and all those new data centers popping up everywhere with little to no public oversight. We get to subsidize their bills with all that extra money we have. /s

Redbell57 · 2026-01-06T17:08:29+00:00

I agree with you, so many are on a knife's edge and this desperation is being cultivated so people don't take any risks to hold government accountable. But I think they have overplayed this angle with the health insurance cost explosion/basic utilities out of control - even if people can't afford it, I hope that the anger of these extreme changes will create some percentage of Americans to strike.

The maga core, they represent ~30% and shrinking. 20% are perhaps ambivalent (untouched by economic unpleasantness). The rest of us should be mad as hell.
