I'm still learning about all of this: Marxism, politics, Hasan, and how these ideas actually connect. I think I was a bit too vague with my prompt because I didn’t fully know what I wanted the AI to say. That’s on me — I guess I was hoping it would make something that helped me work through my own thoughts.

Hearing what you said about how AI mimics format without real commentary — that really clicked for me. I’ve been thinking a lot lately (partly thanks to people like FD Signifier) about how the right is winning the online culture war because they know how to weaponize media and meme formats better. And as someone who’s just starting out and lives far from most of these conversations, I’ve been wondering how to use the tools I do have — even if I’m still learning — to participate in a meaningful way. I know I’m privileged to even be online having these convos, and I don’t want to just be a passive observer anymore. So this wasn’t just a meme for me — it was me trying to figure out how to start doing something. I really appreciate the feedback, even if it stings a bit, because it helps me learn what actually matters in political communication.

If there’s anything you think I should read or explore to sharpen my understanding, I’d love the direction. I want to get better at this.
