- 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
Ahh, the irony of white supremacists using a form of musical self-expression that black people created: rap.
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.
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.
Wow, I had no idea that case existed. It really shows how dumb the concept of race is.
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.
And then degrade it and dumb it down.
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.
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.
Precisely, but you’re giving them too much credit by expecting them to figure it out from reading the lyrics alone.
“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.
Maybe they aren’t white supremacists and have no issue with other cultures?
Far-right, aren’t white supremacists?
Lol, what dimension are you from?
Dimension more nuanced than yours. You take extreme minority and apply their shortcomings to half of the political spectrum
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.
