It’s NOT racism. Liberals redefined racism so that it’s impossible to be racist against white people. It might be bigoted and racially motivated or discriminatory but it is absolutely not racism. What’s scary is how they see nothing wrong with that.
I noticed that, too, when I was preparing my response. It’s very heartening, and points toward the bigger issue with the Democrat/Republican divide I’ve noticed. Republicans are largely principles-based. So, yeah, if they see one of their own proposing something that goes against the party’s general principles (smaller government, upholding rights, etc.) they’ll turn on them. Democrats are much more ad-hoc in their beliefs so the they’ll mindlessly adopt positions regardless of whether they contradict each other and not even notice because unity is more important than sense.
As usual, lefties are retarded. The bill requires the disclosure of the use of AI-generated or altered images/audio/video in political ads. So unless the theoretical “political cartoon” is an official party or candidate advert, in which case it’s not really a political cartoon, AND was using AI-generated material, AND was not properly disclosed as such, I don’t think it would be a problem. It’s especially funny to see such hand-wringing from the party which, under Biden, was VERY big on “combatting mis/dis-information.”
[Spoiler warning!] The movie is better. The book taking place on an alien world, which just so happened to pretty much be identical to Earth in terms of technology and biological evolution, was kind of lazy. And then there’s a part where the apes are able to read genetic memory like it’s a record. (?!) And the twist at the end is even sillier (he returns to earth and apes just so happened to take over there, too! OMG!!!)
But I’m not hopeful this will be a return to form of the 90’s. I bet the women will be flat and covered up. Also there will be a lot more images of men than there were back in the day. Plus they’ll play up LGBT leanings. It’s fine to show men fawning over men, and women fawning over women, but a man lusting for a woman is very frowned upon these days.
I’ve tried looking into that but haven’t had much luck. It’s a “we’ve always been at war with Eastasia” kind of thing where it seems racism was ALWAYS the same as “institutional racism.” But I first encountered it around 2015 when I commented on Facebook that anti-white post was racist. Some dipshits (super liberal friends of a friend) educated me on its true meaning. Even then they insisted that it’s always had their definition. I was simply ignorant of what the word meant. Even though I stopped using Facebook in 2018, and keep in touch with that friend, I’m leery of him since I know the company he keeps.
