It's a war on creativity, which can be made formulaic, commodified, deployed for propaganda, used for evil ends, but ultimately contains within it an unpredictability, a core of unriggability, that fascism hates and capitalism seeks to subdue.
The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

Not only did Jelly Roll play dumb when asked about ICE the other day, he treated a female reporter like garbage for something she didn’t do. Typical maga bully and sexist behavior. He hangs out with kid rock, has met trump and was overjoyed by it, and he is just as scummy as them.

Counterpoint: no serious person in the Twin Cities is worried about any meaningful amount of "destruction" by observers/protestors. Get real.
Friends in Minneapolis are very worried about this development. Both in terms of state police's role in arresting protestors and the worry that this could set off the kind of spiral of distrust and destruction that followed George Floyd's murder.

Baselessly including "destruction" here is pretty telling, imo. It invokes the uprising in a way that is unhelpful and ignorant of what is happening on the ground.
The only people destroying property are ICE agents who have been breaking windows and crashing cars.

I keep trying to figure out wtf he means by "I also think what about that 5-year-old US citizen?"
Because I think that 5 year old US citizen is much more harmed by the knowledge that their friends could be kidnapped & disappeared than the fact that a kid in their class's family is seeking asylum.
