I think you can say whatever you want about this kind of propaganda, you can say that the people behind it are racist, nazi, xenophobic, ultraright fanatics; but the reason why they’re so successful across so many diverse European minds is that one can comfortably ignore whatever they say, while the videos they use are still real and reflecting many Europeans’ daily experiences with multiculturalism implanted in their homeland, and the majority of them, despite their own political colour, can clearly see the contextual societal difference with the past, and will feel a sense of loss of culture and identity in favour of foreign uses, costumes, and morals.
The problem with the unchecked proliferation of foreign cultures in such ample manner in our society is real, and it appears in many different shades of both pacifical and violent actions. Ignoring this change of course in European everyday life is making people’s malcontent only exacerbate and grow. Our fellow citizens will vote increasingly extremist parties as long as those would promise them whatever solution to said perceived cultural clashes. Not necessarily against single individuals or specific nations, but against a vague uncomfortable wave of foreign ideals and behaviours they feel as not pertaining to their home.
In Europe, the very obvious fail with foreign cultural integration of people, religions, public and sexual behaviour, and general mindsets must be discussed and studied in order to give European citizens true and viable solutions, to make them feel safe in their homeland, and heard by the political class we pay to manage our system… not dismissed and ignored to end up providing them with false answers and extreme solutions, ultimately to the detriment of our own trust-based society and common set of humanist pacifist values, that we gradually developed in 3000 years of bloody European civilisation building.
The debate around our pop or literary culture, our identity, and our cultural relations with non-Europeans is and must remain a normal and universal topic among other social discourses we have in our democracy. It should not be shunned as purely evil and whoever talks about their own discomfort insulted and ostracised as an evil person.
Europeans, keep talking about what you want to improve in Europe, do not feel afraid to speak of your desires for our civilisation’s future. We are free and we can discuss about our lives, dreams, fears, and aspirations as much as it is needed for us to feel we are living a good and comfortable life in our own home, which is in fact the fundamental task in the social contract between citizens and state.

@HariSel57511397 Yeah, with AI you get what you get and you don't throw a fit. All the really cool examples we see is someone who went through thousands of iterations trying to fine tune something.
@GHHILL1911 If you wanted it to match the garments - the top pretty much does already, I guess you would need to extend the skirt/liner to above the knees
@SaysSimulation Political forecast: several cycles of old school government in increasing conflict with populations who feel disenfranchised because they won't deign to build political coalitions.
@cdrsalamander Zelenksy and Bukele have pioneered a look of leaders who get things done, which is more casual. He is trying to project that image of a decisive leader, rather than what he actually is - a managerial front man.
@atlanticesque The shock or the fragile infrastructure that gets damaged by the shock. Which is to blame?
Assuming there will be no shocks is a bold design choice.
