    Effective is subjective and entirely beside the point, which is that a few terminally online people are obsessed with the fact that technology gets used in production. I don’t give a fuck whether you like this specific post or not, Yogthos is prolific in sharing news, information, and agitprop.

    But sure, this specific example is fine. It’s a famous poem that’s frequently put on posters. It resonates with people for a reason.

    Iconography featuring diverse, hopeful workers has been a mainstay of agitprop for over a century. Showing Lenin as a badass is always cool. A lot of people like the comic book style.

    I highly doubt anyone would have a problem with this if it were laboriously hand-drawn.

      I agree with you on the AI part for agitprop & that comrade Yogthos contributes greatly to the community.

      I also agree that this piece being produced changes pretty much nothing materially about the world. It’s not resource intensive to produce a single image.

      Please do not see my questions as an attack, I really just wanted to ask what others got out of the image and where they think this would resonate with people. I would like to produce more agitprop myself, and this image misses the mark for me so I wanted to know what I was missing.

      Totally get that I’m probably catching strays because of the general vibe of this thread but I do want to engage respectfully.
