    is it effective agitprop?

    who is this for, what is the message, and why would it be persuasive? Is the core message easily digestible for the target audience?

      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.
