The means of art production in the hands of the people: data centers with millions of $ of GPUs and other hardware with AI algorithms trained on billions of $ of data.

The means of art production which were previously off limits to all the plebs: a pencil and paper.

Thank you for your insights, brain genius.

Nearly every modern art movement was created by the common people. Graffiti, Jazz, blues rock, punk, funk, various books including liberals favourite, Harry Potter and so much more

The only one I can think of that had not just ruling class patrons but largely ruling class performers is Early Ballet.

Impressive to infer the exact opposite of what is happening to the means of production to something you don’t like in order to call it communism. Gotta respect this level of mental gymnastics.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
