I’m getting a lot of miles out of Orwell these days.

This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound-tracks, cartoons, photographs – to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct, nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary.

My partner was fake edited in one of the DHS videos in Portland! He was wearing a moth man costume and dancing to EDM at the ICE center and they put fake smoke and filters over it to make him look scary lol… Absolutely ridiculous.

This is the main reason AI is being pushed into everything.

What’s new?

The US government and everyone that stands behind it, they want to make those who fight against ICE look like dangerous creatures that roam the Earth and must be stopped. They want to look like they’re in total control, by making these fighters look desperate for their lives when they are arrested, by celebrating whenever one of them is killed. But most importantly, they want us to fight each other, so that we forget who is our true opponent on what is basically a war on our rights as human beings.

Since when have they been not using image manipulation for propaganda?

Sure it’s way easier now, but it’s not like manipulating images is a new tactic.

You should always assume that if a way to lie to you exists, politicians and marketing will use it to lie to you. I don’t understand why people give them chance after chance to find a lie that works by exposing their eyes and ears to those attempts. You realize they would be content to enslave you, right? We didn’t ‘solve’ slavery for all time, just until they figure out how to enslave us again.

So it’s GUIMP? I thought it was “GNU Image Manipulation Program.”

You should specify which government

We know

Man, are they gonna be pissed when people use this against them as well. Collectively we have more time to do stupid shit :)

Who could have seen this coming.

Looks like we’re going to end up a crossover of North Korea and Russia.

All because conservatives hate America and enough others don’t give enough of a fuck to stop conservatives from destroying America.

Beware: water is wet
