- Advance UK paid a secretive AI operation to make its political campaign content
- The same group created Danny Bones, a white-nationalist rapper whose videos target Muslims. They have been viewed millions of times
- Experts said this could mark new ground in the use of AI tools for political ends
Nowhere it’s mentioned rally is racist. Literally nowhere. There’s not a single wrong thing about it, but it’s framed as bad. Worse, game implies that you should ignore scientific data (as main character goes through statistics and charts on supposedly harmful site). That’s horrifying. Like, Orwelian level of horrifying.
Obey. Never do your own research, obey, rallies bad because we say so, obey, obey, obey.
Orwell 1984 wasn’t supposed to be an instruction manual. FFS
This is very obviously an English nationalist, nativist, xenophobic, racist, rally.
Whilst it’s pointless to further discuss precise authorial intent, what is interesting is your insistence that this little illustrated story is not referencing the far-right with a character that has been subsequently co-opted by the far-right.
This isn’t far right in the first place. This is norm in poland, where I live. If immigrant crimes, he gets deported. You think Poland is far right fascist regime? Of course it’s not. Your interpretation of reality is twisted and incoherent. This is exactly what that propaganda wants you to be - typical Orwelian doublethinker.
No I think these are cultural differences, this was written for an English audience. Ironically the xenophobic Brexit vote was iirc campaigned largely on sending emigrants back to Poland.
I never considered it xenophobic. Like half a million people migrated from PL and other new members to UK causing difficulties on labor market at a time polish UE accession. And it was a legitimate issue. It fixed itself after few years as markets equilibrqted and it’s was definetly not issue at the time of Brexit, but these concerns had nothing to do with xenophobia.
The most ridiculous thing about it is that after Brexit UK opened their borders and that pro Brexit crowd got the exactly opposite of what they were promosed
Yeah, studies are mixed, but all interesting. The fact the studies were commissioned at all points to there being some concern, though seemingly somewhat overblown. As you say, the main anxieties were financial.
I don’t need scientific research to know, that majority of people aren’t xenophobic, I even talked about immigrants with far right guys from my former World of Tanks Clan once (you probably know the type: Fixation around national symbols everywhere, flag, Coat of arms, military ect.), and even they weren’t particularly against work related immigration. It’s just the difference between “Borders are Open for All” vs “You’re welcome only if you actually work, don’t crime and respect our culture”.
And well balanced immigration policy actually benefits economy - companies that open logistic centers in poland require cheap work force, and with some effort they can recruit in far less developed east. We have lots of ukrainians, bielarusins, turks and vietnameese doing low skilled jobs.
