I'm curious what political agenda they are promoting.

And by 'curious' I mean: quite convinced that the knobhead that pushed Brexit and is now fueling right wing hatred is getting a leg up from his buddy in the Kremlin

    From what I've heard a lot of the time they don't even necessarily believe any of it. It's just grifting for money.

    Some random man in Bangladesh or something.

    Other times it could be genuine far-right agitators trying to get Reform or other parties elected.

    Here’s where it gets really sad:

    Prof van der Linden warned that research also suggests many people do not seem to care if content is AI-generated or not.

    "As long as it resonates with their identity and world-view they will often still endorse the content and share it with others because it signals agreement with a larger agenda," he said.

    As one commenter on the "Great British People" Facebook page put it: "It's probably AI but the fact is that he is right about everything".

    These people should be jettisoned into the sea.
