- Such is the way to radicalize people - convince them with propaganda that their way of life is at risk.
- Interestingly on Facebook, Threads and Instagram, Meta keeps trying to push it's video creation AI to me, with short video clips showing exactly this sort of content. So it seems Meta itself is pushing you to create it also.

If you're into travel blogs YouTube will serve you an endless barrage of videos with photoshopped thumbnails, exclusively containing fearmongering about whatever country or city they're visiting. This has been going on since pre-AI times.
On social media, you'll see plenty of AI-generated videos of members of $GROUP acting badly. One way to make people hate each other even more.

- On one hand those 3rd world despair porn accounts are a plague. On the other hand, my god has the UK declined.
