A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

Right. Superman is a socialist. Capitalism would be Kingpin.
Times did not "get tough". That is too simple an explanation. There's a certain type of people who make the times tough who are coincidentally also totally fine to shift into facism.
Capitalism causes fascism.
Why is this AI?
Im not seeing anything that would suggest AI... What is causing you to say that? Did you run it through a sensor?
Are you just totally unfamiliar with both of these actors/shows? That is not Anthony Starr's face, that is definitely not Henry Cavill's nose — plus both of the images these are based on do not look like this. The building behind Supermans right (stage right) should have the American flag on it, that S on Supermans chest is wrong. Buildings behind Homelander are wrong, the list goes on.
Edit: unecessary question removed.
Yeah I fully dont care about either of these guys or their respective shows/movies. I was genuinely asking specifically what was tipping people off so i could better tune my AI radar. Thank you for going into it.
Got it, yes — perhaps it's because I'm familiar with not only these actors faces but the screenshots the AI 'meme' is based on.
Another, more subtle, tell would be the fact that both of these images are super grainy. It's a technique used to obscure an AI image, make it look more real — due to the nature of image compression through repeat upload and downloads.
Homelander doesn't quite look like Antony Starr.
Hmmm. I only saw the first season and it was a while ago. Is it just that he is doing a tight smile rather than his menacing grin? Or is it more in the forehead. Im noticing some odd smoothness with the upper part of his face
The eyes are from the wrong person
thumbnail + upscale?
No there are more things wrong than just both of their faces, these are recreations of original images by AI.
Trash.
Communist superman is obviously Red son, i guess bizarro is libertarians?
When you have no memory of how shitty things can be.
