Tools of Abuse. Minds for Resistance.

I’ve been making some progress
To detangle bitterness, anger, and hate
So, I’ve come to some conclusions
Made some recognition
I don’t hate Generative AI
Let me compute, elaborate, and put it straight
What I do hate is the laziness
Because that’s what this is, isn’t it?
Manifested with each prompt, burned tree, or steal
This attitude of disingenuous gratitude
To stab another human in the back
To light the world on fire
Just for one Ghibli-fied photo
Not art, not even entertainment, just a lazy attempt at misinformation
Misinformed to the point that you believe it’s a solution
But it’s just an accelerated tool that solves non-existent problems
Because there isn’t a problem with illustration, animation, or writing
It’s just the soft knife routine of labour abuse, transit misuse, and the hot breath of the rich that breathes down your neck at midnight.
So, yes. I hate laziness amplified. I hate that the Truth is minimized.
Because laziness means we stop thinking. Stop believing.
Stop deciding
Start rolling on our bellies
Eating slop and brain rot
Waiting for the next tyrant or king to caress our cheek
Only to spit in our face
I want us to think, I want us to feel, to dream
But you can’t do that without the work
Work isn’t the problem
It’s time we take away
It’s time we demoralize
We’d rather have steel bodies fully automated
Rather than free thinkers who breathe, know the earth, and care
It’s not all about work, though
You need to read
You need to feel
Cause I love caring
I love it so
It’s an active, not a passive decision
To participate, engage, to know
Just know that it is a human you are talking to
Because art is the process of communication of meaning
We design and create ways of understanding and knowing
It takes work, it will always take a lot of work, but it’ll be worth it
Because that’s what you do when you want to build
When you want to rebuild
There are always communities worth building
