What could be more pernicious than erasing critical historical events, and attempting to wipe away cultural identity? What could be more marxist?


I don't think an "image generator", a tool that generates images that never existed before, can be held to any sort of standard that results in history being erased.


> What could be more marxist?

What has marxism have to do with any of this?


Sounds kinda Stalinist to me.


It's spooky and Russian, or something.

How about providing services to an organisation with a long history of organising coups, undermining democracy, formenting civil wars and actively participating in the torture and murders of countless people simply because they were deemed socialist? [1]

I'd file refusing to provide any services to the CIA over decades-old gripes closer to the performative activism the author criticises than anything evil. (If you're running Guantanamo Bay's payroll, sure.)
