Foreign-based social media accounts are masquerading as patriotic Brits lamenting the UK's 'decline'. These profiles, which use AI to amplify anti-immigrant rhetoric, are being viewed and shared by…
Matt SheaHostAnd I started seeing particularly the videos that were like, you know, someone, like a journalist interviewing someone in, like, the supermarket wearing a hijab saying, "Oh, they're only selling halal meat," or, like, an elderly British pensioner.
Um, so there was this one video that came up on my feed the other day, and it was an AI-generated video of an elderly British guy crying about his pension, essentially being like, "Britain's just not what it used to be," all this kind of stuff.
Look at me.
I paid in for decades, and now I'm counting coins in the supermarket.
Bill's up, pension's down, and I'm still scared of next weekIs this Britain's pride or Britain's shame?
Don't stay silent if I'm wrong.
But the men and women who gave their youth and strength for this country are now waiting for basic care.
Is this how we honor sacrifice?
The video's not labeled as AI, by the way, which all of the companies have committed to doing, and there's just loads of this stuff, and particularly often showing almost like the same man in his sort of 40s or 50s who's essentially saying like, "Are we witnessing the end of Britain as we knew? There's uncontrolled mass migration." And they're essentially talking about how the UK is being ruined by immigration.
Be honest with me.
When you look at our streets, do you even recognize them? Is it the overwhelming scale of mass immigration that has changed us forever? Or is the real culprit the weak leaders who sat back and let it happen?
Now, when you look at this account, so this account's called Great British People, and it says it's based in Yorkshire.
But what's interesting, and this is what's different from when we spoke about decline porn before, these are accounts that are pretending they are like Great British News, British Daily, British Life, Patriots.
They've got all of this stuff, sharing these reels often with captions saying like, you know, "This is really happening," or, "This protest happened," and they're not anywhere near the UK, and seemingly lots of them have l- like absolutely no connection to here at all.
