Yeesh, best of luck to you!

I didn't think it was that bad before but now I know exactly what this thought process was lmao

They look at an artist getting frustrated redoing the same line 20 times and legitimately asking 'why would you want to go through that when you can do this super cool thing??' because they just Do Not understand. They've never gone through it themselves. How do you even begin to fight that, y'know?

It's not even necessarily about the concept of 'doing it yourself', but rather using generative LLM's encourages you to take every shortcut possible, giving you no real or valuable insight as to what the process even means.

If an artist can't autism-lore-dump you about their concepts, it's fake.

(Allende was too reliant on the prospect of the USSR backing him up if the US ever fully pulled out of Chile/set them up to fail and this combined with his inability to maintain military and political confidence fucked his regime up super hard)

In case you're wondering why the Son of Actual Nazi Guy won in Chile, you should read up on Allende. Had to research Allende and Pinochet for a final and it's some really messed up stuff. And yes the CIA was involved back then lol

The Mujihadeen of Afghanistan are just the obvious example. South America in particular is littered with espionage and intrigue from the Cold War that really paints soooo much of their current domestic policies in ways I don't think you can understand unless you actively look into it
