Group Teanna Maitland, Angel Gonzalez, Philip Abeleda Memes:
This meme harks to the conundrum that AI automation places employees through in the post-covid global economy. The prediction that automatons would take over the tedious responsibilities of humanity has existed even before computers. The damaging effects AI automation had on the job market was only discussed recently, and even then very few could predict that AI could replace what were thought of as the "irreplaceable" such as illustrators, writers, authors, and artists.
This meme discusses the dilemma that those who voted for Trump's deportation policies may also suffer from them. Republican dominated industries such as construction, agriculture, and logistics are ones that also employ copious amounts of illegal immigrants. Although theres benefits in making sure all your employees are citizens, the presence of non-citizen workers has been the natural order since antiquity, and going against this natural order means risks towards economy and industry.
This meme talks about the policies in Project 2025. Many thought the policies of Project 2025 were too outlandish and radical for even Trump to pursue, but now Trump is pursuing them.
Patriarchy is the system in which upper class men of a specific race, alongside racial and female auxiliaries, hold primacy and control upon society.
Activism is the mobilization of an organization or ideology in an effort to encourages changes in society or policy. This is can be done through non-violent or violent means.
Chapter 1:
"But what brought them to their work was usually far more personal and emotional" (Duncombe and Lambert 17). Alot of online activists are under the presumption that their posts on social media will accumulate manpower in their efforts, when in reality their posts bounce around in an echo chamber that simply reinforces the existing manpower pool.
"By riding the line between political expression, which is often repressed in China, and art, which is tolerated and even celebrated, these artistic activists carved a space to safely protest within an author- itarian regime" (Duncombe and Lambert 35). Even if the message can be disagreeable to some, the art behind a message can garner respect if it is undeniably palatable as a viewing experience.
