    Who would have imagined that re-electing an illiterate wannabe-dictator, only 4 years after his failed coup, and then deporting people because they aren’t US citizens would have an impact on foreigners visiting the country?

    This unexpected information made me wonder what consequences, if any, sending the troops against your very own citizens protesting in the streets could have? Not much, save maybe boost the weapon manufacturers stock price as the same citizen that are being hammered by the armed forces will pay the bill for all the gear used against them… Business, as usual.

      Additionally, fascism is just a feature of capitalism. It is used when the workforce becomes to unwieldy and the profit extraction too uncomfortable.

      Capitalism has far outlived its usefulness and it shows. People begin to understand that our houses are built onountains of corpses and the planet starts to rise up against it as well.

      The elite is just looking sternly and saying “now sit back down and eat your carrots.” Its what happened every time so far.

    Is that an AI image in the article? Could they really not find a stock photo of a street in Paris?

      It really does look like it huh. I did look for it with Google Lens, and found some pictures of a spot that is… Similar. But the text and various body parts do make it look incredibly fake.

        It’s probably cheaper. They don’t have to pay for stock photos anymore. Just extract the value from all historic photos.

      I believe so. There’s sharp and soft shadows and also don’t use the same direction of the sun. The people walking’s shadow angles and the building’s shadow angles don’t match up.

          Or that person in the white T between the girl in red and the girl in pink. Not only does his face look strange, but his right leg is gone even while appearing to be walking.
