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!

Ah yes my favorite. "Rage FOR the machine"

Raging Boner for The Machine

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Auth@lemmy.world 58 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Right wing culture is so cooked they have to resort to AI.

[–] LaoiseFu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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.

There was like the AI big tiddy goth British girl as well

[–] QuandaleDingle@lemmy.world 42 points 2 days ago (7 children)

Ahh, the irony of white supremacists using a form of musical self-expression that black people created: rap.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.world 5 points 2 days ago

Wow, I had no idea that case existed. It really shows how dumb the concept of race is.

[–] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

They can only steal from others.

And then degrade it and dumb it down.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.world 3 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

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.

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

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

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.

Creativity that isn't about pushing or punching down goes against the whole purpose of conservatism.

The irony of a group of frustrated males following the messages of make believe entity.

Since you cannot copyright an AI creation, someone should just make him do like a woke anarchist rap or something.

[–] coalie@piefed.zip 22 points 3 days ago

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.

We are getting to the stage where we need laws to say that machines cannot impersonate humans. Synthetic humans are banned.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 25 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, I’m sure that will be allowed to happen. Right after “you can’t use everyone’s doorbell camera as a giant worldwide face-tracking panopticon” and “PC components should be affordable enough for anyone to buy instead of having to rent cloud desktops from an AI datacenter”

We are way way WAY more fucked than you think already.

So the far right is now following an influencer that doesn't exist... Makes sense, they're also afraid of the Dem, trans, woke, communist, elitist, gay, Muslim, female, leftist, atheist, scientific, immigrants!
