Oh look, rich people now using AI to confuse people into thinking that they are the good guys and obviously the bad guys are… Eh, ah, yes, the immigrants and the gays and such, dooohh!

The worst part about Danny Bones is that there’s no way to punch a virtual face.

There is no culture, only an extreme lack of mental ability, cushioned by laziness - and they can’t even make up shitty rhymes about stuff they don’t understand,-so this is mana from heaven to bolster half baked beliefs. It’s fucking sick because people will swallow this shit, and it will have a real world effect.

2 dayscreate a new Mosley by artifice.
I didn’t realise that Oswald Mosley was a rapper
Huey Long
rose to national prominence during the Great Depression for his vocal criticism of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, which Long deemed insufficiently radical. As the political leader of Louisiana, he commanded wide networks of supporters and often took forceful action. A controversial figure, Long is celebrated as a populist champion of the poor or, conversely, denounced as a fascist and a demagogue.
Bizarre… kinda.

Ahh, the irony of white supremacists using a form of musical self-expression that black people created: rap.
- db2@lemmy.worldEnglish2 days
Or rock, blues, house, country, etc. I think white people can solidly claim bagpipe dirges though, as long as the racists think Scottish people are white enough.
- QuandaleDingle@lemmy.worldEnglish2 days
The Scottish and Italians not being white, I just could never understand. XD Racism’s some crazy work.
The Irish weren’t for awhile, either. What’s really wild is this case where an Indian man argued that he was white due to being Aryan, but the Supreme Court ruled that his argument did not contain a “common sense” definition of whiteness. So, the highest court in the land determined that whiteness is purely based on vibes.
- QuandaleDingle@lemmy.worldEnglish1 day
Wow, I had no idea that case existed. It really shows how dumb the concept of race is.
- TimeNaan@lemmy.worldEnglish2 days
Don’t get me started on skinheads. That subculture comes from Jamaica and the music they listen to was created by black people and/or leftists.
Right wingers can’t create culture. They can only steal from others.
- ZILtoid1991@lemmy.worldEnglish22 hours
At least they left skinheadism for the most part, because it was a very easy identifier of political extremism. Most Hungarian skins at least became “football fans”, and no longer use razor to shave their heads. Even heard of some of the remaining ones getting doxxed by more dapper-looking alt-righters, to keep the image of “moderation” they go for.
- TimeNaan@lemmy.worldEnglish21 hours
That’s even worse. They infiltrated another subculture, and a much bigger one - football fans.

Prejudice tends to lack a capacity for self reflection and an understanding of irony.
It’s the same with nazi punks and MAGAs who like Rage Against The Machine, they just want something that sounds loud, aggressive, and violent and rarely understand what they’re listening to or how it came about until it’s shoved right in their face. Then they get all offended about it.
Most of the time, the best they can make themselves is a cheap, talent-less imitation that lacks any sense of authenticity, and to try and overcome that they’ve resorted to something that can produce a finely polished turd that still lacks any sense of authenticity.
MAGAs who like Rage Against The Machine
Or Creedance Clearwater Revival. Or Guns N’ Roses. Those white redcappers hear something “anti-authority” as being exciting and “edgy” and appropriate the songs for their shit movement until they fucking read the lyrics (if they ever bother reading) and realize it’s messaged against them. Not to mention most artists are utterly and openly disgusted with MAGAts.
The only has-been celebrity dickheads that actually exist for them are Kid Rock and Steven Seagal.
- BranBucket@lemmy.worldEnglish2 days
Precisely, but you’re giving them too much credit by expecting them to figure it out from reading the lyrics alone.
- ContriteErudite@lemmy.worldEnglish2 days
“Born in the USA” by Bruce Springsteen is widely regarded as a patriotic anthem. It’s played at so many sporting events and political rallies that most people think it celebrates American pride. But the song itself is about a small-town kid who gets drafted, sent to war, and then comes home to find himself unemployed, homeless, and abandoned by the system that sent him there.
The irony is that media and propagandists grabbed the punchy chorus and stripped it from the rest of the song. An anti-establishment story about neglect and disillusionment that got balefully repurposed as an advertising jingle to drive military recruitment.

Far-right, aren’t white supremacists?
Lol, what dimension are you from?
- BlackLaZoR@lemmy.worldEnglish2 days
Dimension more nuanced than yours. You take extreme minority and apply their shortcomings to half of the political spectrum
- phutatorius@lemmy.zipEnglish2 days
Half the political spectrum are not far-right. At this stage, it’s probably not even a third, depending on where you draw the line. And of those third. what percentage are not (explicitly or implicitly) white supremacists?
Anyway, they’re still fascists, even if they’re inconsistent ones, so fuck 'em.

Funny how these fake AI “influencers” and “musicians” always seem to come from the right.
They are so devoid of creativity, and are so incapable making anything worthwhile, that they (try to) have AI do it instead.
Pathetic

It’s genuinely shocking when you consider how shitty white boys will try to be a rapper about literally anything. There are multiple guys out there rapping about crypto, NFTs, and $GME. But these fucking losers had to get a computer to spit one out because they can’t even manage to be as appealing as a conspiracy theory about a mythical short squeeze that will reset the entire global financial system.

Rapping takes more skill than just saying a bunch of words fast over the right beat. A lot of middle/upper class white kids do not realize this and are not in the kind of environment to get real feedback on their rap.
- BlackLaZoR@lemmy.worldEnglish2 days

You soud racist as fuck. Skin color has nothing to do with actual skills.

Because right is more aware of the truth: General populace doesn’t care if it’s AI or not. All they care about is quality
- 2 days
It’s not about quality. Most people use content just to fill a void. Look outside at the people around you. Just about everyone is looking at their phones on rides, listening to podcasts when walking. It’s just filler.
The alt-right took over the social sphere just by taking up space. All the manosphere/trad-life/christo-fascist/slopaganda crap flooded the internet, and then it became the norm—not because it was convincing, but because it was recognizable. People parrot what they hear; And that’s especially true for the majority of unintelligent folks who wish to masquerade as intelligent. It just so happens the masses heard a lot of “women/people of color/queers are destroying our great white Christian society”.
There’s nothing about this that’s inherent to bigotry or conservative ideology; It’s just that USA conservative-aligned businessfolk bought up the outlets and skewed the scene a little bit in the favor of alt-right ideology. Over years that compounded, and now it’s seized the entire conversation. Perhaps lefties/liberals were hesitant to use those methods because they play to emotions, and not intelligence; But this is the reality of our current social sphere.

First this is completely untrue. Internet is open for everyone everyone can find media that suit their preferences . Second, for many years a lot of it was actually dominated by left. It’s just that pendulum swings back.

Algorithms took over searching, flood the algorithm with content and fake views and you dictate what others see.
- 1 day
^ this. The specific example in my mind was TikTok short-form manosphere content that flooded the internet in 2023.
It doesn’t even need to have fake views. Content tagged with rising extremist views will naturally foster higher engagement—some of it from the absurdity; some of it from the growing group of people who believe it. Andrew Tate was a large part of promoting violent misogyny and patriarchy. The views never changed; they just became far more familiar.

Since you cannot copyright an AI creation, someone should just make him do like a woke anarchist rap or something.
It would be better if the woke rap was performed by real musicians but then using this ai’s images so they could actually copyright the music.

I think we all know that most of the Right’s anger is due to repression. I think this AI needs to start confessing to the deep and sordid things that make him so angry. Confessing his deep and all consuming desire for pediatric necrophilia should really unburden his soul.
