I guess he's saying the figurehead of the maga regime is a king and we should all bend the knee. But the American people today, showed what we think about kings.

"We're just trolling to get a rise out of the left"

*dismantling of democracy continues in the background

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

America was EXPLICITLY Founded on it's LOVE of Kings and School Shootings! There's NOTHING more Patriotic then Kings and Murdering Kids! SCREW THE AMERICAN FLAG AND CONSTITUTION! THOSE ARE SOCIALISM!

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Don't forget this is the party of blatantly fucking kids.

[–] Protoknuckles@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

No kings. Go fuck yourself. (Not you op)

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I mean it's clear to me they aren't joking, they're making and posting these videos because King Trump and subservient Democrat leaders is their fantasy.

[–] arin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Thanks to the Democratic National Committee it's not just fantasy... Fuck this timeline

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 25 points 1 month ago

When they show you who they are, believe them

[–] themaninblack@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago (2 children)

This is when someone in the military should take care of the problem. These men are a clear and present threat to the constitution.

[–] astropenguin5@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

And hegseth is doing such a good job pissing off the entire military, and none of them are getting paid, and they even threatened to not do backpay....

Surely nothing bad has ever happened to rulers and governments that piss off their military

[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 6 points 1 month ago

Normally, I'd say a military coup would set a very bad precedent. But in this case I think the continuation of the current regime would be worse.

The recent influx of government accounts and J.D. Vance on Bluesky makes me feel like they're just trolling. They're looking for screen grabs. Glad to see there are multiple moderation lists to block them all. Don't feed the trolls.

I'm sharing this ai maga propaganda because we need to be aware and take responsibility for the face of the world. To quote Timothy Snyder in his book On Tyranny: "Do not look away, and do not get used to them."

[–] KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago

I completely agree. We must point this out, incessantly, forever. The fact that it looks so stupid only makes our argument stronger. I want the USA to always be remembered as the nation that rounds up civilians and sends them to random tyrannical governments while chain-posting immature AI slop.

[–] KelvarCherry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 1 month ago

Yesterday (18th of October) Trump reposted this on Truth Social, twice, following a AI-generated video of him flying over a No Kings Rally and air-dropping feces on the protestors.

[–] Jela@lemmy.today 15 points 1 month ago

Kings get guillotines in our country 🇺🇸🖕🏼

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

This would be sad and pathetic if an angsty 14-year-old did this.

Doubly embarrassing that it isn’t even himself.

[–] GaryGhost@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

And they think Muslims praying in a mosque in scary

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ok guys. I get to be king next. Make sure to say hip hip hooray when I pull my shiny sword.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fine but I get to be supreme dictator plus infinity and wear a uniform made out of medals

[–] Bluefalcon@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

N. Korean cosplay, I like it. Should slap and ad or two on there. Help pay for the downfall.

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Some people are so fragile ...

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

They’re obsessed with pelosi aren’t they

[–] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Time to shut this economy fucking down

[–] gandalf_der_12te@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

essentially the goal of the next civil war will have to be independence from the federal government.

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No and no, please. A war does not "have" to occur and independent states is what any smart capitalist would want. Its easier to scheme and pillage without central oversight.

independent states is what any smart capitalist would want. Its easier to scheme and pillage without central oversight.

i would say it's easier to keep your politicians in check if they live closer to where the people are (locally, in the state) instead of in some far-away high-castle.

[–] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

the projection is truly astounding

[–] klammeraffe@lemmy.cafe 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ngl that ai Trump and the edit was well done. Obviously I don’t like it, but maybe we need to fight back with some shit like that

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I was thinking that this looks more realistic than that weird video he posted after people thought he was dead where his pinky glitches into his hand

[–] klammeraffe@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 month ago

Not that I want them to get better at it…. But I do think AI just needs to avoid all hands haha. Hand motion really triggers that uncanny valley

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I can do shit like this on my home PC with a 5060ti. It takes about 2 minutes to render 5 seconds of 720p video. I can use first and last frames to get my desired result, and using black and white covers up a lot of the color issues like over saturation that AI has problems with. Coupled with audio tools that lipsync videos to audio, I can make some truly horrific things in minutes that wouldn't have been possible even 3 years ago. The world is going to find out fast how dangerous AI is, and it's not because of anthropic, openai, and meta. It's the home user with a mid range PC and a bone to pick.

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You’re saying the problem is the democratisation of propaganda and not the mega corporations.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

In the modern world, where everyone is connected and outrage sells? Yep. That's exactly what I'm saying.

[–] klammeraffe@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So list your software and let’s have a good time

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lmao. ComfyUI and a model from huggingface. It's not rocket surgery.

[–] klammeraffe@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Me: asking, you: total cunt reply.

If people like you are the comrades I’d rather watch it burn down.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dude, this is a wild overreaction.

[–] klammeraffe@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 month ago

Lmao, it’s not rocket surgery.

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, but that's how you get trump in the first place

[–] klammeraffe@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Correct, being a Cunt to people is how you get Trump

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes.

If people like you are the comrades I’d rather watch it burn down.

Also this way.

[–] klammeraffe@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 month ago

Chicken or the egg?

[–] starelfsc2@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Anyone got that wow that's crazy now release the epstein files picture?

[–] unconsequential@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago

A few more weekend parades and we’ll have this fascism thing beaten in no time. (In all seriousness, some of the speeches were absolute fire)

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago

King donvict the dumpy rapist! Bow down before your king!

[–] VinnyDaCat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Man, they would be upset to know that some of the musicians that made that song support BLM and are rather left leaning.

Also, here's my response.
