I prefer the original artist’s work
Damn straight.
Looking at this image, every child could easily point out who’s evil here. Do they not see it?
They see it and they like it.
They are evil. You don’t get horns and cool red eyes when you turn evil. Mostly you stay the same!
Fun thing I’ve noticed, evil people even seem to live longer. They don’t stress about it when others suffer, they laugh. And laughter… Is the best medicine.
Dunno man. There’s a reason why the best comedians are left leaning.
The best comedians have an excess of empathy. The best conservatives barely have any.
Also musicians and artists in general.
Yeah, because punching down isn’t funny
punching down is synonymous with bigotry
I’ve noticed that cancer seems to be really good at killing decent people, so my solution is that every time someone nice dies of cancer we should go out and round up five or six total shitheads, throw them into a volcano, and say they died of cancer.
Pick randomly from Forbes Richest People list, or top to bottom?
Find the list of which companies contributed the most to Republican and go down the list of CEOs.
The fascists don’t care. They will happily rub it into your face how much they can do something you cannot. It’s a feature of fascism, not a bug.
A Hungarian fascist told me how all gay people will be pedophiles in his eyes no matter what, while he himself groomed his wife from the age of 16.
I saved you a click. I didn’t believe this post was real and I went to find it on X. It’s real and I’m sad for all Americans.
Wait what?
I am now sure were living in some mickeymouse simulation.
My cousin has convinced me that we all died from Covid and this is hell
Covid does infect braincells and mutates them into weird neuron fusion blob cells. So we’re kinda increasingly braindead based on reoccurring Covid infections
I would avoid going to the Whitehouse Twitter page. The entire thing is just a bunch of sound bites from Fox news.
Seriously what kind of soulless creep goes for this shit, not to mention thinks it’s fun to post? Oh right, MAGA.
It makes a white dude that’s a real drain on society and his family feel superior, like he’s winning. Don’t make me whip out the Johnson.
You could search for it yourself. I just don’t want to give any link juice/backlinks to Twitter to help improve their SEO rankings.
I honestly would delete this. Don’t give X/Twitter any SEO backlinks.
Or—get this—leave it there to corroborate claims like a rational person by linking exactly as the web was invented for.
This is old school propaganda imagery
If this wasn’t posted by the White House account, I’d definitely believe it was posted by someone against the deportations.
It’s an innocent looking woman bawling her eyes out while being arrested. Why would they think this would help their anti-immigration cause?
I mean, I actually know why. Because that’s what the conservatives want. They know innocent people are being arrested and denied due process. It’s not that they don’t care - they actively want it.
Go look at /r/conservative on Reddit. These people are cheering Rubio on after he announced that visaholders are being deported due to something they said or protested with no evidence being offered. And I’m not joking or exaggerating.
It’s an innocent looking woman bawling her eyes out while being arrested. Why would they think this would help their anti-immigration cause?
Didn’t you notice her skin is dark, and she’s fat? Also probably something about her hair. These obvious signs point to the true evil inside her, you see! Only a bleeding heart satanic liberal atheist could see that and think she’s an innocent woman!
It’s an innocent looking woman bawling her eyes out while being arrested.
Reality is that she’s a drugs dealer (Fentanyl) - looks don’t tell everything.
I’m all for criticizing the USA government for the bullshit they pull. This one just isn’t one.
I don’t care is she’s Kaiser sose this is not something that should be posted by the White House
She’s actually a kindergarten teacher and volunteers at a soup kitchen every weekend
Poe’s law. Can’t tell if serious or playing a bit.
This photo breaks my heart. Like what the actual fuck???
If it makes you feel better, that hand has 7 fingers so it’s probably AI.
At least a human didn’t draw it
It’s AI. The trend du jour is uploading a picture to ChatGPT and asking it to recreate it in Studio Ghibli style.
Studio Ghibli style
So that’s what it’s called.
it does not
6 fingers and 1 thumb
Hey, chill. It’s just a cartoon.
/s
So maybe to unbreak it just a little, the picture is some AI drawing of an actual woman, a convicted fentanyl trafficker. I just don’t understand why the cartoon.
They memeing.
I don’t understand the downvotes. There’s plenty to criticize the USA government for. This just isn’t one of those moments.
It’s even a bad image for their intended purpose, because it evokes empathy for the person crying in handcuffs.
I guess since the person making it and the philistine machine that produced it both have no understanding of empathy nor art, that was lost on the generators of this image.
You’ve missed out on the last several decades of Republican rhetoric, tears of “their enemies” is exactly what they want. They know they’re the bad guys and revel in it.
Y’all thought trail tears wasn’t a burn on natives? Like laugh at the people who died in forced marches.
The Trail of Tears was always taught to me as a black spot in our history, a horrible thing that we (the United States) did to natives.
Indian removal act sounds like the impending Latino removal act
Same here, but I learned about it from my mom - I don’t think we spent much time on it in school.
Can you imagine a photo of the Trail of Tears with a cartoon AI filter posted by the government? Fuck.
I can.
It’s called newspapers from the 1840s.
Yeah. What am I even asking? This is more of the same.
This isn’t like tears of their enemies though, it just evokes empathy. I haven’t cried in a long time, don’t cry often, and didn’t cry about this image. It’s just a sad image.
It’s close to actual reality, where a lady probably previously working in a kitchen in a hairnet is sad that she’s being deported, and some villainous, stone-faced everyman tries to look tough while standing in front of a flag.
Usually they add in some fascist elements that make it look more glorious to be a sack of shit, but they didn’t even do that with this image.
They don’t have empathy. The crying lady is brown, they’re ecstatic.
Yeah. It’s white, military authority literally standing on the side of the flag. They’re crying because they’re being handcuffed “probably because they’re gonna be sent back to their shithole country cuz they came here illegal.”
Perhaps you think this is more empathetic because of the art style but this is rote, flag-hugger imagery. Except this was probably produced by bot and the poster was too lazy to run the gen more than twice.
It does for you. For the intended audience, it makes them cheer and jeer at the ‘stupid brown woman’ ‘finally getting her comeuppance’ for ‘daring to disrespect the flag by being an illegal’.
They have no sympathy or empathy. They want to see PoC crying in chains as they are led off by white officers. To them, that means the system is working.
Seems like a bad art style to convey that message to anyone except the most hardened of fascists – which is almost a more succinct wording of my original point.
Not many people with empathy are left on Xitter, I suppose.
If you hate your mental health, you can use Nitter to read the replies to that post. Just the most sickening shit imaginable.
Nah I’m good, I bailed on that site as soon as it was sold.
For them, crying is a mark of their weakness and hypocrisy. It’s laughable to them and adds to their sadistic joy.
I utterly despise this AI Ghibli trend. If you’re a fan of Ghibli or Hayao Miyazaki you wouldn’t do this. I especially hate that fascists are now doing it. Miyazaki hates fascists. I hate what the internet and social media have done to our society. Clearly the majority of us are not ready to use them responsibly.
The only war is class war! Immigrants are hard working people who deserve a path to citizenship. The parasite class is the tech bro oligarchs!
They weaponized the only interesting thing about America. Immigrants.
That’s incredibly reductive of the massive amount of interesting things like our beautiful nature that America has
Mhmm. It existed before us. And will after us.
… That is completely irrelevant to the point that it’s in America and you called it by extension not interesting
The humans that are alive on American soil now have raped the landscape for miles in every direction. Whats to see other than travesty in place of majesty?
I see you don’t live in America. I’m sorry you haven’t been able to see the massive majesty that still exists. But it’s incredible, what still remains mostly untouched. America is a vast, vast place. And not everywhere has been gone through.
Been here my whole life.
We need to take the class war to the streets. This shit isn’t going to stop. Look how quickly they panicked about a couple of Teslas self immolating. Direct action works, the time for peaceful noncompliance is over.
Bro take me back to my timeline i don’t like it here
Hayao Miyazaki: I don’t think there’s anything that could make me despise the US more than I already do.
The US:
TIL I am Hayao Miyazaki.
Jesus, they really do ruin absolutely everything they touch. It’s like Midas but even worse.
Mierdas
El Rey Mierdas…
Toque de Merda in portuguese (Touch of Mierda)
Yeah I was going for “shit king” in spanish. But it checks 😆
🥇
I don’t understand what they thought this image would do? Except make people more upset.
They’re the living embodiment of the Genoese saying “to cut off your dick to spite your wife”. They live to make other people “mad”, but being sympathetic with the plight of less fortunate people isn’t “being mad”. They are nothing more than bullies, but they run a world power.
They want to show how tuff white cops are when they attack somebody’s mom.
Why would they arrest the lunch lady?
Probably because she was a drugs dealer, and illegal in the USA. That tends to be an arrestable offense.
Wow, I guess this is peak 2025. I know I’m calling it to early, but it can’t get much worse than this.
Right?
Right???
the bird flu epidemic hasn’t ground the US to a halt yet.
You motherfuckers better keep it to yourselves.
On top of all the actual fascist shit happening and yet to happen but about to, cherry on top, can you imagine?
Miyazaki is alive to see this happen.
Fucking. Imagine.
