Faking languages for cheap outrage clicks

The way people are faking thumbnails to push anti-immigrant and racist nonsense is getting truly ridiculous lately. I just saw a video where the creator slapped random “Arabic” and “Hindi” looking letters over European street signs, trying to make it look like the city had been “taken over.” Thing is, the “Arabic” was literally just a mess of unconnected letters that don’t mean anything - I speak some Arabic and I tried to read it, but it was just “Aalfloollammmaa” or something equally meaningless. And the “Hindi” wasn’t even close to Arabic, but was clearly thrown in just to look vaguely foreign and alarming to anyone who doesn’t know better. They even went as far as changing the actual place names to mirror images or random scripts, which is extra funny because it just proves they have no clue how Arabic works. To top it off, they edited a black guy’s skin tone in the background to look even darker, all in service of this “Eurabia” or “Muslim no-go area” conspiracy nonsense - as if the UK or France is suddenly Morocco overnight. It’s the oldest trick in the book, like when that girl in Japan faked graffiti in her photos to make the place look rougher, or those clickbait videos with titles like “You won’t believe this is London now!” when it’s just a regular street with a couple of Arabic shop signs. These grifters don’t care if the letters are gibberish or if the languages are swapped or mangled. They just want to freak people out, cash in on outrage, and rack up views, while big social media companies let it spread for ad money. Honestly, it’s pathetic how easy it is to trick people with some AI-generated junk and a scary caption.
