I posted this on the Trump thread - unfortunately, this morning I came across a tweet from Zia Yusef showing Farage at an event - all light shows, camera and Farage ‘aura’, as Yusef called it 🤢 - very ass linking tweet all round.
So Trumpesque it is scary - some comments were very in line with Trump supporter type ones too.
We can literally see daily what Trump does for the US, and it’s baffling that this is used as a model and that so many fall for it or want it here.
I queried on the other thread the link with media/AI - all designed like gambling machines to make you want more - but politics shouldn’t be set up like this - once upon a time it was considered quite boring by a lot of folk - great to get engagement now, but is this the way to get full engagement or just for people to follow certain ‘highlights’ as part of downtime and then think they’re involved though actually it’s just pretty pictures and sound bites like watching a cartoon they have got addicted to.
I also saw a Reform stage set saying Reform ‘Will fix it’ - I have to assume this is fake AI - it’s difficult to tell always though.
