In this episode of the podcast Straight White American Jesus (SWAJ), Annika Brockschmidt and Roland Meyer dissect the unsettling intersection of generative AI, right-wing extremism, and the emerging aesthetics of digital fascism. Roland Meyer breaks down why AI-generated visual culture is uniquely suited for far-right propaganda. Rather than acting as a neutral mirror of reality, these algorithms are structurally nostalgic—relying on past training data to build idealized, hyper-masculine mythologies, clean ethnic landscapes, and weaponized “slopaganda.” From American frontier myths to European Islamophobic imagery, Roland Meyer explains how mass-produced, engagement-optimized AI content is being actively weaponized to construct collective, racist fantasy worlds at an unprecedented scale.
