Absolutely, they already do in USA, but the rest of the world is more complex with a multitude of different local conditions to exploit, and requires way more work and sophisticated methodology to work, so AI would be an even bigger help for making US propaganda for foreign countries.
If they were planning on "attacking" Russia that has been extremely hostile themselves, I wouldn't have a problem. But Trump is looking to attack traditional allies with propaganda and is making them enemies!! That's what happened to Tesla when Musk supported AfD, and now Tesla sales are plummeting in all of EU, more than anywhere else! Except Norway that for some reason is mostly unaffected, and continue to happily buy Tesla Swasticars?
Most of Europe already no longer consider USA a reliable ally! And Trump continues to make it worse. Handing global dominance to the Chinese on a silver platter.
I wonder if most of europe believes they could successfully fight a war against Russia, USA, China, Iran, North Korea, Syria... etc. I know Europe doesn't/didn't want to help the US avoid their current fascist dictatorship, so I wonder what they imagine the result would be in conflict against the new axis of evil.
It is not allies that are alienating USA, it's the other way around. Apparently USA believe they don't need allies, because they are acting hostile against everybody, even their closest allies, while being friendly to Russia!!
Neither USA or EU stand a chance against China alone, we need to cooperate, but USA is not cooperating they are being confrontational and undermining EU and just about every other ally even Canada which for decades has been the closest ally to USA, and helped USA every single time USA called for it. So has Denmark, yet USA threaten to take Greenland!!
Stop grouping the American people in with the President, most of us didn't vote for him.
Edit: The government is doing this, not us. The fucker rigged an election and Russian bots have given the deceptive impression that it's a larger percentage of people that support the president.
If you really think 40% of us voted for this shit, you're dumb enough to fall for Russian propaganda.
I visited the US (small town in NY) in 2022 and every other lawn had a bunch of small Trump flags. Not even a presidential election year.
I fully believe a large share of the country voted for him at this point. Doesn't mean that he's absolved of fuckery in swing states
Yeah, you visited some bumfuck small town, that's where they hide 🙄
I mean yeah, but look how many of those towns there are
There are more land with its people voting republican, but that's population density, California has more population than 20+ states, but don't just visit those 20 red backwards ass states and be like: "See, 20 red state states vs one California"
That's true, but California itself also has a load of conservative small towns in the desert. The system for the senate is fucked tho
Don't deflect. Fix.
I have to work everyday and I'm homeless, fuck you
Holy shit, someone actually advocating Martyrdom/suicide on the internet. Jesus christ lemmy.
Big talk from someone who doesn't sleep on concrete every night. Punk.
It's hard to fix the problem when MAGAts are fucking morons. My dipshit moron uncle tried that shit on me recently, and tried to compare "what we've suffered the last 4 years" as if the fascist authoritarian crackdowns we are seeing are anywhere near anything under Biden.
These people are willingly and gladly stupid/ignorant and refuse anything that refutes the inaccurate worldview in their heads. I'm trying when I can, but talking to these dumbasses is infuriating at times (probably intentionally to keep people from being able to disabuse them of their ignorance).
Correction: Magats and tankies.
